This lizard in a light fixture at Cane Creek Recreation Center here in Cookeville, Tennessee, gave some of our cardio-sculpt class a scare this afternoon. The sight of something like this can be a bit stressful, especially at the end of a workout when you're trying to relax and cool down. And especially if you happen to be laying right under it. Thank goodness he didn't slither through a vent and fall on somebody.

Day One Hundred Fifty Seven 2010
D-Day
I posted this last year on this date. D-Day, June 6, 1944, was the beginning of the end of World War II. When I look at this picture, I know that a lot of these soldiers never made it to the beach, and a lot of those who did were killed instantly. Remembering the soldiers who gave their lives to free the world of tyranny. And thank God for those who did survive the onslaught and went on to fight and came home to tell the tale. We can't be thankful enough for their sacrifice.

Day One Hundred Fifty Five 2010
National Doughnut Day!
Awesome cloud view on our way to Ralph's Donut Shop here in Cookeville, Tennessee. It is National Doughnut Day (whoever made that one up is a genius). What's not to celebrate about that?

Day One Hundred Fifty Four 2010
An Ordinary Day ~ I Think Not!
Grand kids Shelby and Elijah snuggled together watching 'Spongebob' from floor level this morning. Shelby was softly singing a Taylor Swift song she likes and wrote out all the words to using the music video from You Tube. It took her over an hour and about four sheets of paper, but she got it done.
Chocolate pudding kisses at lunch at KFC.
Monkey see. Monkey do.
While visiting my mom at her place this afternoon, sister Ann, niece Julia, grand kids Shelby and Elijah threw rocks in the pond, then discovered cherries laying all over the ground. Light bulb moment: wouldn't it be fun to toss cherries in the mud by the pond and hear them go Splat!? Well, of course. And it was.
Julia holds cherries picked fresh off the tree. Elijah gathered his off the ground. I bit into a red one. Very sour.
The willow trees that grow around the pond are beautiful--fun to just sit under and listen to the wind blow through the long limbs and fun for making wreaths to wear on our heads. Someone (might have been Julia) told Elijah his was an emperor's crown. He liked that and wore his even when we went back inside.
