A Work in Progress

Getting ready for Christmas...no easy job! I almost have the tree up (still need the topper and some bows), and I also have a few decorations up. I'm only going to decorate simply...no clutter!
Anyway, here's the picture

Thanksgiving

Wow! It sure has been a while. Not much real news from our front though. I worked 12 hour shift both Thanksgiving Day as well as the day after. Obvioulsy, no shopping for me...although...if anyone out there can find me a Nintendo Wii, I sure would appreciate it. The bad part is that no one took any pictures on Thanksgiving. If I am not there, there are simply no pictures in our family.
K.C. was home for the Thanksgiving holiday, and brought a friend with him. It seems as if this will be K.C.'s last time home before shipping out the Afghanistan in January. I will try to post some pictures.

Well, that's all for now. I still have lots of homework to do.
Peace.

Here's Another

Checking New Feature?

Katie Rides Again

Today we went to see Katie in the final day of her rodeo championships. She had finished a respectable 4th overall coming into today's run, but as usual...we jinxed her! She and Jake had a good run today, and she looked really good out there (may I also say that she is by far the prettiest out there?), but it was not enough to win. Did I also mention that she was the prettiest one out there?
Jake and Katie..you did great! Now if you will just send me a link to one of your videos, it just might find its way to my MySpace site.
Isn't that a hoot..an old lady with a MySpace site? I really like learning the HTML that goes along with MySpace, but have no real desire to communicate this way. I just love developing the page. I now have pictures, videos, and music. Of you are interested in checking out my work-in-progress at MySpace, go to: http://www.myspace.com/mrhawk922
More later. Peace.

Farewell to Ted

It turns out that Ted did not have a large abcess from a bite on his face...he had a large growing tumor. I took him this morning to the vet up in Harrisburg (who is a really nice man..and does not charge $200.00 to put an animal to sleep) and had him euthanized. The vet was amazed at the tumor... it turns out he was diagnosed wrong by his original vet. Anyway, he is at peace now. Alex buried him while Andy watched..oh, excuse me...while Andy helped (those who know Andy know how much he participated).
The horses were out again this morning, this time they tore down the vinyl fence. They all have to go. I cannot afford fence.
Peace.

Do you like the new look?

I was having trouble getting the old blog to show up. When I looked at the settings, it seems as if the HTML was all messed up on the old template....so I chose a new one! I'm just glad I didn't lose all of my posts. I am in the process of uploading most of my pictures to Photobucket.com. This site stores your photos in and gives the codes for them in different formats (in case you want to publish them on a website or MySpace). This takes a while though. I had 4 Spanish lessons to do last night when I got home from work, so I couldn't get anything worthwhile published.
Mom and Dad are driving to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania as we speak for Dee's funeral. It is always a treat to get to listen to the conversation when mom is riding with dad.
One does not drive in two lanes at the same time.....
