An Update

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that my step-grandfather passed away yesterday after a long and up & down battle with cancer & complications. I will probably not be around too much in the next few days, but will try to catch up on everyone's blogs and get back into the swing of things when I can. Thanks for understanding and know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth if you don't hear from me for a few days. ;-)

Also, would appreciate your prayers for the family as they/we go through this tough time. I was not as close to Grampa Walt as his REAL grandkids, but he was a great guy and will be greatly missed! Thanks again, you all are awesome!

Tag, I'm It!

I got tagged by my lovely friend Jan over at Jan's Place... I have to list

" SIX UNIMPORTANT THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY "

1. Walking around our property taking photos
2. Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
3. Drinking lemonade on the porch on a nice summer evening listening to my fountains (haven't been able to do this since we moved, don't have anywhere to plug in my fountains =( )
   
4. Watching lightning bugs flying over the fields on summer nights
5. Horseback riding
6. Relaxing with a good book, knowing I have NOTHING else to do

Ok, now its time for YOU to participate! This is a fun one, so anyone who wants to, please take part!

Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I am NOT so excited that Stellan is finally home!

I am NOT excited that Not Me! Monday is back =)

I did NOT start a bird photography blog in memory of my mom. You can NOT check it out here.

We did NOT take Jimmy to the playground the other day, and Daddy did NOT take him down the big slide and he absolutely did NOT get stuck lol!


I am NOT totally behind on reading everyone's blog posts, not me!

I have NOT been having a wonderful time enjoying the nice weather and I have definitely NOT been out working in the garden and flower beds a lot.

I am NOT going to go do some more of the above mentioned right after I am done catching up on some blogs.... =)
