We are currently staying in the guest home of Paul and Sharon Puleo on a large ranch spread. Cows in one pasture, bulls in another, a little pond, 2 big friendly Great Danes (Puppy and Rocky) lovingly greeting us when we drive back in the gate and lots of white fencing...very relaxing, while we await the results of all of Bob's medical tests.
On this ranch where we are staying , there are two red headed cranes. LARGE birds! They like to wander in the yard of this house...So I decided I wanted to get up close and get some cool pics this morning. I got within 8 feet today when the one started doing a raging bull routine at me! Head down, fluffed wings and pounding on ground with its spindly legs. At the same time it's partner, started hopping! YES! It was actually hopping about 2 feet with each HOP! Oh what a comical memory to take with me back to the DR

Well I've been tagged by Lyndie...so I need to tell 5 things about myself. Whether they are interesting, I'll leave it up to you the reader to determine.

1) I love to collect quotes. I have a journal that goes almost everywhere with me and I write quotes in it. ~~ from books, magazines, newspapers, movies, TV shows....I have them! bits of Scripture, parts of poems, taglines from peoples' emails. It's quite fun and relaxing to go back and read thru it. I used to write them here and there on scraps of paper and then lose them. I LOVE my journal. It's almost full, so I'm going to have to start a new one
2) While I didn't dislike my hubby at anytime prior to marrying him (read lyndie's blog), I did tell my best friend, who used to date him before me, to dump him because she deserved better!
(If you ever hear my testimony, you'll hear how the LORD used that to bring me to HIM!)

3) Saturday we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary, and as of Tuesday, I now qualify for Senior discounts!

4) I love to sew! It's my way to de-stress. The day after we discovered Bob might have thyroid cancer, I pieced together a quilt top for Yoselin. Bob asked me what I was doing. I think he was a bit concerned as we were supposed to be preparing to leave the country for an undetermined length of time. My reply: "Dealing with my stress!"
It worked! The quilt top was packed in the suitcase and last Friday I handstitched the backing in place and tied it with embroidery floss. Yoselin will have a bright colored quilt made by her "mana".
Which brings us to
#5) I am now the proud grandma, or as the grandkids say, "Mana" of two grandsons and two granddaughters! Being a mom is wonderful and filled with joy, and being a "mana" just intensifies those feelings!

Now who to tag? Does anyone even read Chin y Chon?
I need three people to atleast leave a comment so I know if there's anyone I can tag!

Hey, wait! can I tag David? Maybe "Through a Glass Dimly" will then have something new to read.

and Lauren, you've now been tagged.

Still would like to have three people to atleast leave a comment so I know if anyone is reading this besides Regi and me! Thanks, Regi!
