Wednesday sunrise and all through the house, only one creature was stirring and it wasn't a mouse.  The wooden/metal rake was hung by the dog house with care with thoughts that no rain would be falling there.  The dogs and the husband were snoring away, leaving  only me to wake up very early this day.

 The thunder it rolled past my house like a freight train, only to leave us with very little rain. My big box fan almost blocked out the noise but the lightening, a freak thing, produced more fun than Little Mam's toys.  Once it was over I sprang from my bed, to send out much needed email and check the bank account with dread.

  Now nearly one hour later, I am wide awake.  I will try to go back to bed for my sake.  So good night/ or morning what ever you decide, I am going back to sleep for I feel deprived.

are  1)  YK will be married 3 weeks from today and then we don't have another wedding to throw ;)
       2) The following pictures make me smile.


My Mom and my Mother-in-law and my step-mother make me smile.  I am so blessed to have each one of them in my life.  Happy Mother's day to each of you!

It has been a week!  I have had to drive all over town and that is not cheap.  I get over to the east side of town where the really slow drivers, who drive at least 10 mph under the posted speed limit always drive in the left lane. They have no clue that anyone else is around them.  What fun.

 It feels like winter here and the breezes and wind should help the winter feeling continue.  People just 80 miles from here are loosing their homes to a terrible wildfire that was 90% contained 2 days ago but flared up due to these winds.  It is sad.

 Tomorrow is the big surprise reveal day.  Youngest Kid never reads my stuff but I still don't want to type about the surprise until she knows what the surprise is.  I can almost picture the look on her face when she sees what we have done.  Now I have to decide what to purchase for her bridal shower gift that is on Sunday afternoon.

 Last night at camera club we were reminded by an attorney what the legal aspects of photography are.  It almost makes me not want to publish( anything seen on the web or in print by at least one person) anything. I will soon get over that. 

  Ok, now I have to feel better and get on with this day.  Happy Friday!

 Here is a photo that I took today as part of a blurred picture assignment.  I like it as the kids were having fun.
