A Thousand Words : A Simple Ride

“The world does not need tourists who ride by in a bus clucking their tongues. The world as it is needs those who will love it enough to change it, with what they have, where they are.” ~   Robert Fulghum

Have a great Saturday everyone! :)

A Thousand Words : Baseball

Keep your eye on the ball!  This is our great nephew Mason, he is just four years old..he is a very good ball player!  Yes, he connected with this ball, I hollered "Run, Mason, Run"  what fun to watch little kids play ball:) 

A Thousand Words : Time

Suppertime or Playtime???

Chance with Levi and Nibbles the Gerbils ( ** edited Guinea Pigs) that belong to our grand-girls :)

A Thousand Words: Imagination

Someone had a marvelous imagination..I took this photo yesterday at the Lake Itasca Region Pioneers Farmers Show. Far Guy and I were both very impressed with this show, we walked til we were exhausted..and we will go back tomorrow to make sure we didn't miss anything. Far Guy was so impressed with this group, he says we will join them in their efforts to preserve farming and farm life like it used to be. I took lots of photos and got tons of blog fodder. It was a really fun afternoon:)

A Thousand Words: Retirement

Retirement is one great big giant coffee break. ~Author Unknown

This is Chances outside water dish..he shares with the birds:)

A Thousand Words : Catnapping

This cat lives in the local Vet's Office. One day I caught him catnapping in the Breath -a -licious box on the counter...who knew that cats were a low fat treat that would freshen a dogs breath:) Click on the photo to enlarge!

A Thousand Words: Anna

Childhood is that wonderful time of life when all you need to do to lose weight is take a bath. ~Author Unknown

Anna is one of our Great-Nieces, she was having a wonderful time outside recently..I stopped her and asked for a photo..I also asked "How did you get such a dirty face?" Her answer.. "Playing" ..I must seem like a silly old Great Aunt somedays. :)

A Thousand Words: Olivia

The finest inheritance you can give to a child is to allow it to make its own way, completely on its own feet. Isadora Duncan

Olivia is two, I love her very sparkly shoes! She is our great niece, her Mama says " She gets them on all by herself! " :)

A Thousand Words: Chance

To be natural is such a very difficult pose to keep up. ~Oscar Wilde

I caught Chance wandering through the daisies this week, this photo made me smile.

Friday night date night went well, the movie Virtuality had an interesting premise escaping into your own mind, computer programs gone wrong, space travel and a reality show. Neither of us appreciated its Alice In Wonderland type ending. I only fell asleep a few times, during the commercials..I hate commercials. We both thought Erik did just great, but this movie lacked depth and a really good team of writers. Far Guy was intrigued with the glasses and wants a pair, I however will just read a book. Far Guy rates this movie a 3 and I give it a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10. Not the worst movie I have ever seen, but a long way from the best:)

A Thousand Words: Sisters

Today I am launching a new series, It will be called A Thousand Words. It will only have one photo and may or may not be accompanied by words..but certainly way less than a thousand. It does not have a day like Wistful Wednesday and may show up at anytime. Whatever the case..I hope you enjoy it!

Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life. ~Charles M. Schulz

A few weeks ago at the control burn, I happened to witness this scene unfolding before my very eyes. A high pitched squeal alerted me to a problem, luckily I had my camera ready to go and grabbed this quick shot of an altercation between two sisters who just happen to be my great nieces. Their Grandmother intervened..or perhaps I would have captured a knock down drag out fight! :)
