19th Wedding Anniversary

Since I posted a wedding picture last year, here our a few of my favorite pictures from the first few years of being together, starting in 1987.

Brian sent me the following email back in 2005:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Subject: MSNBC.com Article: Secret to wedded bliss - saying sorry>A British couple who hold the world record for the longest marriage said on Wednesday their success was down to a glass of whisky, a glass of sherry and the word "sorry."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He then followed up with his reply to me:

Subject: RE: MSNBC.com Article: Secret to wedded bliss - saying sorry
"I will take care of the glass of whiskey and the glass of sherry and you can step up and take care of the sorry part."

What can I say? That's my husband!

Puppy Update

The sweet little puppy has gone to a foster home and hopefully with be adopted soon. Thanks so very much to AMR!

URGENT! Please help!

Someone dropped off three little puppies on our road early Saturday morning. They ran off that night but one came back the next morning. I am guessing that the storm on Sunday morning scared them and they got split up. We took the one that came back and put him in our little pen with a box, a towel, food and water. He is not even barking! He seems so happy to just be somewhere. He is a very calm, cute, and sweet puppy. Maybe 2-3 months old, I am guessing. We can not keep him. He will be going to the shelter tomorrow. If any one is interested or knows anyone interested, PLEASE call me IMMEDIATELY at xxx-xxx-xxxx or xxx-xxx-xxxx.

Yesterday

Baby deer

This little baby was playing in our yard and running up and down the drive way the other day. There were two more that were a little bit bigger, but they ran off into the woods before I could grab my camera.

Turtle Taxi to the rescue

Today, I found a new use for my preschool teacher rolling cart.....

No, we were not playing around with a SNAPPING turtle! You see, what happened was...while we were mowing and working in the yard this morning, we saw this large snapping turtle making his way up the front field. THEN THE TRACTOR CAME to rake the cut hay to get it ready to bale. IF you know me, well then you know that I had to do something! We first tried a large piece of plywood in which my husband grabbed the turtle by the tail and flung him onto. But he slid off, and boy was he mad (the turtle not the husband)! Then I remembered my cart in the garage and sent Taylor after it. We laid it over and Brian used a pole to scoot ch and shimmy him in. Then he was REALLY mad! If he'd only realized that we were saving him from being squished by the tractor tires or even being whipped up into a nice round bale of hay, then maybe he would have been a little happier to cooperate! Though, he was quiet happy when we did make it to the pond behind our house and let him out! (And yes, I did Clorox and clean the cart afterwards.)

This is our front field after all was said and done.

Beautiful Butterfly

I had to look twice to see if it was real!
