Day One Hundred Twenty Five

My Fly Guy, hubby Neil. This pic was taken April 26, but he managed to get in a couple of hours of flying his remote controlled planes this evening before sunset and in between rain showers. He's had some crash and burn moments, but I think he enjoys rebuilding and repairing his planes just as much as he enjoys flying them.

Day One Hundred Twenty Four

My grand daughter, Shelby, found a caterpillar on a tree at her house the other day. She said it was black and orange and had light blue dots. She named it Sherman ('cause that name just popped into her head and she thought it would be nice for it to be a boy caterpillar). She played with it all afternoon then put him to bed in this plastic bowl (I think that's how it goes). The next day, she found that Sherman had spun himself a nice little cozy cocoon and attached himself to the side of the bowl. Today, she took him to school for show and tell then brought him to my house and of course we had a photo shoot. So meet Sherman, the caterpillar who hopefully one day, if all goes well, will become a beautiful butterfly.

Day One Hundred Twenty Three

The only word to describe this day is 'wet'! Everyone is already tired of the rain. I hope this summer we're not all saying, 'wish it would rain!'

Day One Hundred Twenty Two

Today is (Inter)National Scrapbooking Day, which is observed and celebrated the first Saturday in May each year. So I did my part by starting and actually finishing two pages for my Project 365 scrapbook. I also made a May Mother's Day themed desktop calendar and e-mailed it to my two sisters. I use Photoshop Elements 5.0. Learned a whole lot in the two years I've been using it, but I still don't know all the tricks and probably never will. Hope all the scrappers out there (paper, digital, or both) got a page or two done today.

Day One Hundred Twenty One

I think this might be the Tennessee state bird. This big ole skeeter was perched on the picture window at Ocha Deli (our favorite Thai food restaurant--I'm sure I've mentioned that) this evening at supper time. Luckily, he was on the outside looking in. I don't think he's the blood sucking kind. As you can see, the streets around TTU are soaked from all the rain we've had today and tonight. And of course with the rain comes the skeeters! Bonn Appetite! (P.S. My sister Ann tells me this is a May Fly and not a mosquito.)
