Today's Reflection ■ March 13, 2014

Looks like them dogs were tired!! I was so exhausted after work today, I found myself lulled off to sleep with some ambient music playing on my cell. When I woke up, these to fellars (yes, I know that's a slang word) were lying on the foot of the bed beside me. I must have wore those guys out.

A pair of tired doggies.

I got some heavenly help today looking at screen pixels on my tablet, refer to February 15, 2014 entry. While at lunch, a tiny rain drop landed on my screen, magnifying the pixels, not much, but enough.

Someone once said, "You can never have too many shoes." I'm not entirely sure who said that, I'm not going to Google it to find out and even if I did know, I would not say for the sake of this blog. Wouldn't want to chase away the one or two of you who check it out. I am curious however, what constitutes, "too many"?

Would "too many", be of pairs
or individual shoes?

Mimi expressing her joy to Renee for the beautiful
picture, made with lots of love.

I won't tell you how young she is, those of us that know her already know. She doesn't hide her age, if she wants you to know it, she'll tell you. I will tell you she has been my friend and love for more then half her life. It is on this day we recognize the birthdate of this special lady. She is so very special to so many people, for so many different reasons. The two beauties on her right, have loved her, pretty much since they were born. Their Mimi has always made them a very special part of her life and on this day, they showed how special by giving her pictures they made just for her, with loving care.

Natalie also made her Mimi a very special and
lovely picture. These two girls LOVE their Mimi. 

Happy anniversary of your birthdate my love. I'm so thankful for those anniversaries you have shared with me and I looked forward to many more. ♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡

Two pictures today, each showing the pictures our granddaughters made for Mimi.

Cheri-Ann and I began our date by going to lunch at the 178 Club. It was okay, but I have certainly had better.  On top of that, their prices were rather high, for the small amount of food.

After lunch we went to the Gaston's Center in Bull Shoals, where we heard Tim Ernst talk about hiking in Arkansas. Cheri-Ann got him to sign her book and told him how she had done 11 of the trails. After Tim spoke, Cheri-Ann spoke with his wife Pam, asking how they avoid the ticks and chiggers in summer.

"Grin and bare it.", was all she could say.

No magic, just pick off the ticks and hope you don't cross paths with chiggers. Bummer.

We then went down to Gaston's resort, took some pictures of the birds and walked one of the trails. One of the trails was named Lost Jeep, it was on this trail we came across a ... you guessed it, a lost Jeep. Cheri-Ann captured a really cool picture of her and I with the Jeep. Check it out here. Such fun.

Back on the trail and headed toward the bird cages, we spotted a deer crossing the trail about 300' in front of us. I told Cheri-Ann to, "Wait for it, wait." and almost on cue, another deer grazed across the trail. Then Cheri-Ann spotted a couple more still somewhat hidden in the trees. We got some pictures and then something startled them and they were off. It may have been me, as just about that timing, I had an itch on the back of my leg. While scratching it, I must have made a bit too much noise.

Cheri-Ann in her element.

As we were getting ready to leave the area, an Australian Shepherd came our way. She had a collar and tags and she had been chipped according to Cheri-Ann. Just as Cheri-Ann was calling the number on the collar, Jim Gaston drove up in his bright red Jeep and told us about the dog. At that same point the call had gone through and Cheri-Ann told the receptionist at Gaston's resort never mind. After chatting a bit more, Mr. Gaston drove on up, got out and began taking photos of the birds. Cheri-Ann went back down opposite of him and while heading back toward me, got a picture of Mr. Gaston, while he was taking pictures of the birds.

An extra picture for today.

A fun time with Cheri-Ann. I love my time with both my daughters. :-)

Standing or laying down?


A position I am prone to all too often.

Zero, zilch, rather large goose egg, nothing, nada, fail, bummer. I didn't take a picture for this day. I went to bed and didn't think about it until 7:00 am. This is my feeble attempt at keeping this going, despite not doing what I was supposed to yesterday.

These are two glow in the dark O's, that at one time were part of the word Colorado, tacked to the top door frame of a closet. The are laying on the lit screen of a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. Yes, the one I sometimes use to take photos for this project that only one, perhaps two people ever look at. So I guess it don't matter if I forgot, no one will know unless I tell them.
