Shield your eyes!  A picture of me! 
Does this dog make my cheeks look fat?   
 And yes, that is my natural hair color.  And no, I don’t wear make-up.  I am pretty sure I don’t own any, except face powder.  And maybe a tube of eye-liner I experimented with once.
This is dear son’s photo entry, [...]

  The my photo of the dog took a first place, and the monochrome landscape took a second place in their catagories. 
  The photo my son submitted took first place, too.  He only submitted one pic.  It is funny that he won first place because when we went to pick up the print from the store, they had ”check copyright” written [...]

  These are the pics I’ve entered in our local photo contest.  No prize money, but great satisfaction.  Last year I had a second and third place in different catagories.  No best in show, but I was glad to have won ribbons on my first time entering. 
Many will look familiar, but I think there are a [...]

I just sat today for my second NCC exam this year. The first was for my In-patient obstetrics in May, which I passed. Today I sat for my RNC-EFM test. It’s a certificate of added qualification in electronic fetal monitoring. So if I pass, I guess my title will [...]

   This is our “15 year” event.   It has happened 3 times in the last 15 months.

These are pics from 8/07 flood, but it looks nearly the same.  The water is a little less high this time, but you get the drift.  This is our front yard, looking north.  I am probably standing directly [...]

  Some time ago, I mentioned that I had compiled a yearly calendar for things that need done around the homestead… namely my homestead.  I think I’ll post it.  Now keep in mind, I made this by researching things that apply to my midwestern zone 5 self.  Each person’s yearly calendar will be affected by [...]

  Well, thanks to a few hurricanes, which amuses me, since I live in Illinois, it’s been rather rainy here lately.  That is a blessing, since for a month before, we were very parched.  Both of my baby Japanese maples I planted in the spring burned to a crisp.  I had to water the hostas even, [...]

  Wow…. ’nuff said.

   At work, this has been accurate for my fellow nurses.  Take a look and compare to your own personal experience(s), and let me know if it was accurate for your children.  I only have one son, and yes, it says I’d have a boy.  I’m curious to see how other people’s results turn out.

  Well, I got home from work tonight, and opened my car door, and in on my lap jumps a healthy looking chocolate lab.  That was quite a surprise.  Then as I was picking up my bag (which is like a purse, but larger capacity), I threw my keys into the bag (as per my [...]
