Day Forty Four

Wow, I sure do feel like a total "Boob"! Didn't even pick up my camera today. So I'll share a picture of one of my favorite characters from The Beatles animated movie 'Yellow Submarine', Mr. Jeremy Hillery Boob, PhD. He's a real nowhere man, making all his nowhere plans. I'll plan on taking some actual pictures tomorrow.

Day Forty Three

Goodnight, Sun


All the wires and cables that crisscross over the intersection of South Jefferson Avenue and Interstate Drive sliced up a beautiful Winter sunset this evening. Couldn't resist taking a picture with my trusty cell phone camera. Nice to see the sun for a change even if it was on its way down.

Day Forty Two

Worth Waiting For At The Pretentious Coffee House


That's Kelly in the brown jacket waiting in line at the Dolce Cafe on the square in Cookeville this afternoon. It's a nice treat to go there for some coffee on a cold day. Lots of people had the same idea it seems. We ended up with hot chocolate. Burned my tongue, of course. Totally worth it. Kelly couldn't drink much of her creamy dark chocolate hot cocoa because it's insanely rich. I warned her. Next time we'll just share one.

Day Forty One

Picture Postcards From A Snow Day

Another snow day--cold and windy but pretty to watch the big flakes falling.

Daughter Kelly, grand son Elijah and grand daughter Shelby amused themselves buying, selling and feeding the virtual fish in Fishville on Facebook.

This pretty red headed woodpecker enjoyed peanut butter for breakfast.

Birds in flight around the feeder. Kelly took this picture.

More birds in flight--thanks for the great shots, Kelly!

Grand daughter Shelby, sister Jane, grand son Elijah, niece Julia, niece Sarah and daughter Kelly and I enjoyed some time together at Poet's On The Square--a fun place to hang out, play Apples To Apples, talk and giggle, and slurp down some tasty coffee or smoothies (or in Elijah's case: Fruit Loops and a cup of milk--he amused himself with the Trivial Pursuit pie wagon game pieces).

The tiny snowman on a table outside Poet's sported rocks for buttons and eyes and a Coke bottle cap and he was really cute, but Elijah could not resist picking him up. Alas, the snowman fell over and lost his head and cap and a few of his rocks. We put him back together again. But I don't think he'll ever be the same. Good times. Great snow day.

Day Forty

Cat Bird

Eddie Kitty wasted no time in parking himself by the bird feeder after I filled it up this afternoon. Fortunately, the birds are smarter than the cat.
