Photos of the day 11/3-11/5

Tuesday - 11/3 The neighbors have a peacock and he wonders over into our driveway. I finally found him over here and was able to snap a photo. He rarely opens his tail up. Wish he would but doubt it. Hard enough just to get him to let me take this photo. Ran 4.8 miles at Rose Rudman Park in 53 minutes. Trying to get back into it.
Wed 11/4 Full moon is setting as we head out for our morning walk.
Thursday 11/5 I love fall colors. Just thought this was a pretty tree in fall bloom. Ran 4.2 miles at the park in 50 minutes. Slow, still tired from two days ago.

Couple cards

A couple of cards I created for some challenges at mysketchworld.blogspot.com, twospotteddogs.com, pileitonchallenge.blogspot.com, mojomonday and abc challenge

Photos of the day 10-31 to 11-2

Saturday 10/31 Halloween but no trick or treat ing for us. Gary fixed the 4 wheelers so Gary and Jeremy rode around with Smokey in full pursuit. He chases them, barks at them and gets in front of them. It's a wonder he doesn't get run over!

Sunday 11-1 We went to the Dallas Cowboys game and saw them whoop up on Seattle Seahawks. They won 38 to 14 so it got a bit boring in the 4th quarter as they were so far ahead. But it's amazing just to be a one game and see all the people and how big the new stadium is. The big screen is over 5 stories high alone. It was a super game. (And a second picture from the game just because).

Monday 11-2 I stopped on the drive from work to snap a photo of this pretty flower trolley in front of Petty's Landscaping. Loved it.

Photos of the day 10-25 to 10-30

Sunday 10/25 I took Timo out in our woods and did a photo shoot for his Senior photos. I really liked this one. He didn't smile but he didn't smile in any of them.
Monday 10/26 I went to Walmart and noticed the mums outside and got this shot. I love mums.
Tuesday 10/27 Fall is really here and this pretty tree behind Apple fitness is proof.
Wed 10/28 As I left for work there was a beautiful sunrise out over the pasture. Today was beautiful and I ran 3 1/2 miles at the park in 40 minutes. Slow but at least I did it.

Thursday 10/29 Yes, it's raining again! Buckets full this time and I got this shot of the water splashing up on the road on my way to workout at Apple.
Friday 10/30 Senior night at the last home football game. They called all the seniors out of the band to recognize them. Timo in the middle.

Where did my little cookie monster go?

Where did my cute little boys go that I used to be able to make Halloween costumes go? I miss sewing them halloween costumes!

Photos of the day 10/17 to 10/24

All these photos of the day come from our trip to Grand Cayman Islands. Gary and I waiting at the airport on Saturday 10/17, a full day of flying and traveling. We saw so many igaunas all over the golf course near our resort. This was the grandpa iguna who posed just like I asked him too. All 6 of us at Smith Cove. The group of us getting ready to go scuba diving at Dive Tech. The sunrise at the resort, hammock, ocean, breeze, everything you need. Gary and Chuck going out to dive at Cobalt Coast resort while I took a nap under the umbrella. A cool wall of fish at the airport on Saturday 10/24 on our way. Bunch more photos taken. It was hard to pick one for each day!

Photos of the day 10/14 to 10/16

Wed 10/14 Yes, it's October and the water is freezing but Gary still gets in the pool for a swim. This morning, Smokey joined him!








Thurs 10/15 I did my Scuba Refresher class at TJC so that I can remember how to dive.
Fri 10/16 It's another football night. Here is the whole band in action.

Photos of the day 10/10 to 10/13

Saturday 10/11 Gary and Timothy are out working on the car in between rain downpours. They put up a shelf in the carport to work from and get a bit more done on the camaro.
Sunday 10/11 Gary, Jeremy and I took the dogs to the lake. An activity we always love to do. It is so fun to throw the stick, pine cone, whatever out for Smokey to chase. He is at the spillway here and looks like he is running on water. Lil Lady runs along chasing him, trying so hard not to get wet. He loves the water, she hates it. In the end, she gets completely soaked and rolled around in the water by him as they get all frisky in their playing. We laugh out loud at their goofiness! I ran 2 miles while there.

Monday 10/12 Softball is rained out - it's not raining this instance but has been and City of Tyler thinks we might destroy their precious fields so they cancel us all the time if it has been raining! oh well, so I have a delicious apple on my way to help with Chipper auditions at TCTC. So crunchy and yummy!

Tuesday 10/13 I had the most awesome sunset picture taken after the rain stops from the theater and then I lost the photo. Stupid me. So I'm using this photo Gary took on Sunday of a cool looking mushroom as my photo of the day. With all the rain we have been having, there are mushrooms everywhere but this one is just so puffy!

Fri 9/25 Jeremy and I took the dogs to the lake and then meet Gary at the high school to leave Timo the truck so he could drive home from the football game at 3 in the morning. Jeremy is riding his decked out redneck scooter at the age of 21. I guess you never get to old for fun!

Sat 9/26 We got up early and drove to San Marcos for the Dive Around Texas prize giveaway at Aquarena Center. Gary didn't win anything. Bummer. Then we went to Sheri and Stewart's surprise 50th birthday party for Stewart not far from there. He was in hog heaven because his grandbaby Wyatt got to fly in with Marci from California. He's a cutie.

Sun 9/27 We spent the night in Austin and then drove to McKinney Falls state park before leaving town. It's always pretty there. 5 hours later we are finally home... I'm tired.

Photos of the day 9-21 and 9-22

Mon/Tues I have been trying to get photos of the cows across the fence for a while but they are usually not close enough when I have my camera. I succeeded finally and got the big bull in a photo and also got lucky to find a baby calf for the other photo.
