This Dcotor makes housecalls! Our next door neighbor, Stacy (she's the one with the look of agony on her face) asked if I would use my amateur dentistry skills on Cami (she's the very calm 5 year old) and extract two loose teeth. Who needs medical school?Apr 30: 12007

Dinner with friends."The primary joy of life is acceptance, approval, the sense of appreciation and companionship of our human comrades. Many men do not understand that the need for fellowship is really as deep as the need for food, and so they go through life accepting many substitutes for genuine, warm, simple relatedness." -J.L. Liebman; Peace of Mind

April 24: Comment on a Previous Picture
I received a comment yesterday about Moses putting on a few pounds (luckily she can't read, or she would be very offended!) Maybe this photo will get a better reponse from that particular viewer?

On or around 1597, William Shakespeare wrote these immortal words:
"What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

I know that all of these birds images might totally alienate the few people who look at these pictures, but check out these INDIGO BUNTINGS (Passerina cyanea) that just made an appearance in our yard. These birds are amazing---they migrate from the Eastern US all the way to Mexico and down through Central and South America at night---using the stars as their navigational aids! (I'm not really sure how scientists know this fact, but every source I checked claimed it was true). Regardless, their colors are simply amazing...although a little rufous would contrast nicely.The bird on the upper right is a TUFTED TITMOUSE (Baeolophus bicolor).

I have never really had any interest in birds. . .until recently. Now I have become a Bird Geek--just check out this strange bird that showed up yesterday. It's a EASTERN TOWHEE (Pipilo erythrophthalmus), and like the BOAT-TAILED GRACKLE of March 24th, only the Florida Towhees have yellow eyes. Incidentally, the color of his back is called "rufous"....a fancy bird word for reddish".

Did you know that April 17 is Ben & Jerry's Annual Free Cone Day? We did, and stopped by to check out the action. The Strawberry Cheesecake was good, as was the CoffeeCoffeeBuzzBuzzBuzz, as was the WildBerrySorbet, as was the Choolate Fudge Chunk, as was the. . .(I digress, but it was so good that it gets two photos!)

I have been repairing and refinishing a table in the garage.....it's almost done, and it's for sale, if anyone's interested.

Why are these two men smiling? And whose arm is that?2 men + 1 spoon = 2 close for comfort

I spent the day with 9 or 10 of my co-workers working on a house for the Clay County Habitat for Humanity. To the best of my knowledge, there was only one mangled thumb from an errant swing of the hammer.Apr 11: 10107
Our friends Bryan and Kristen (also found in the picture for March 12th, the 71st picture of the year) celebrated the birth of their first son, Kenan (one E, not 2) this morning. Less than 24 hours old, he is already a celebrity and has his pictured posted on the Internet!That's Kristen, looking bright and chipper after 26 hours of labor, while her husband naps in the background.

Check the date on my watch---April 10th! 42 days after I stopped eating ice cream--Easter has passed, Lent is over, the tomb is empty, Christ has risen, and ice cream is back in my fridge!!

Only Mel. Other than the obvious lack of snow, what can be said of this image of the intrepid explorer? This must be how Princess Running Deer crossed the Rockies. . .

Ginger & Mel in search of the white stuff for their cross country ski expedition.

Ginger returned from 10 days in California. She will be sharing some of her California photos this week as a special guest photographer, so come back often....she'll be here all week!
After being gone for 2.5 years, it's nice to still have friends who will take time out of their lives for a night of El Cid's and hot drinks. From L-R: Ginger, Lena, Mel, Amy, Ruth, Denise, Kelli & Holly--Christal had to go home early and put Tony to bed.

Our good friend and former housemate & co-worker, Kelli, comes to visit for the weekend. This SoCal native wanted a good dose of southern culture, so we went to Whitey's Fishcamp for dinner.
