Day 83 - Two Bunnies

Looked out this morning and there were 2 bunnies on the stone steps eating grass. David slowly threw out a piece of whole wheat bread and one of them came over and ate some of it! Yesterday he threw out some old, stale tortillas and a bunny ate almost a half one! The birds finished off the rest. I'm hoping by Easter there will be a bunny on every single step!
Not the greatest picture, but I took it through the patio glass because I didn't want to scare them off without getting the shot!

Day 82 - D4 at Work

This is the machine David and I work on almost every night together. There are 206 bins and I sweep the mail into the trays as they fill up. It's a little more complicated than that, but too boring to put down in words. David is at the far end loading the machine with mail, but you can't see him in this picture. The machine is actually called a DBCS (which he says are his initials = David Brian Coker'S) but it really stands for Delivery Bar Code Sorter.

Day 81 - Blue, Yellow & Green Daisies

Stopped by the grocery store in the morning after work to pick up canned cat food and $46 later, we came home with cat food, groceries and these flowers. They just kinda winked at me and said "take me home". They were only $5, so I thought that was a lot of pretty for a little amount!

Day 80 - Happy St. Patty's Day

As usual, we cooked our corned beef, cabbage, potatoes & carrots. Sometimes we just make reubens, but we didn't want that this time. Cooked it in the crockpot and turned out great. We only have this once a year, but LOVE it!

Day 79 - Susie in Sunshine

She LOVES the sunshine. Stretches out as far as she can to soak up every ray and feels like she is on fire. Love how she squints her eyes!

Day 78 - Homemade Pasta Sauce

These are the ingredients that I use to make homemade pasta sauce. Ever since I found this recipe online last year and made this, we cannot stand eating pasta sauce from a jar. It's like eating ketchup! So about every month or two, I spend a Sunday making several batches of this. It is soooo awesome and we really enjoy it. It's not one of those sweet sauces with sugar in it, but more like real pasta sauce. Doing this along with all my laundry and ironing today, that should keep me pretty busy.
OH, and my camera broke today!!! Actually it still takes pictures, but I dropped it (only a few feet) and there is nothing on the screen so I have to use the old view finder. Don't know if I've captured the picture until I download it to the computer. I've been online looking and will probably be getting a new one real soon!

Day 77 - "25th of Album" for February

This is my album pages for February. I got my pictures several days ago, but had not had a chance to scrapbook them. There were only 13 pictures this past month, so it was easy to fit it all on the pages. Sometimes there is much more going on and I have to "stack" the pictures (like a book) to get them all on the pages. Anyway, it's done.

Day 76 - Old Photo Albums

Okay, my dining room table is finally clear of all photos! I got my mom's photos and mine mixed together and labeled. The years 1967-1998 are in this chest. The years of 1999-2009 are already in my scrapbook room and in albums just waiting to be scrapbooked, if I choose. But it's a big load getting these older pictures done.
I'm gonna take a break now, but I want to get the old black & white's of my mothers into better albums and hopefully get some names and dates on the ones I can. This will make it much easier for my daughter and granddaughters when they inherit them!

Oh, and I was off work again on Thursday night with my shoulder. When I got up this morning, it felt like nothing had ever happened! That was just sooooo weird!!!!!

Day 75 - Heating Pad

My "friend"!!! When I went to bed Wednesday afternoon, my shoulder hurt a little...and I mean a LITTLE. When I woke up around 3 in the afternoon, it hurt BAD. My neck hurt, my upper back and my arm. Finally called in sick at work around 6pm because I knew I wouldn't be able to lift all that mail the way I felt. Hopefully it will feel better tomorrow. (and besides I haven't called in for over a year!)

Day 74 - Photo of Kendra & Me

The colored picture is of my daughter, Kendra, at age 6 1/2. The black & white picture is of me at 6 1/2. The thing is I've been working on getting my older photos in order and intermingling them with the pictures my mother left me. We both have (had) pictures from the same years so they needed to be all put together. My mom was good about putting pictures in chronological order...except these 2 pictures. She had them side by side. And the thing is in the online class I'm taking about organizing photos, we were supposed to find some "connections" between photos, old and new.
So right here before my eyes, I found these 2 pictures. THANKS, mom for your help!
