Day One Hundred Thirty 2011

This is only the second cicada shell I've seen so far since they emerged from underground after all these years. I hope it's a sign that their invasion will be mild in my neighborhood. I can live without these critters and their infernal screeching. I hear they're a tasty treat for some folks. No thanks. I hope I'm never that hungry.

Day One Hundred Twenty Nine 2011

Daughter Kelly gave this Hydrangea to me for Mother's Day. It's a beauty and is going to look great out in the back yard.

Day One Hundred Twenty Eight 2011

Happy Mother's Day to my precious 90 year old MOM. I am proud and blessed to be her daughter. You're The Best, Ma! I Love You!!

And Happy Mother's Day to my precious daughters. My daughter Kelly (on the left) is a MOTHER TO BE, expecting her first child in December, and my daughter Holly (on the right) is the SUPER MOM to Shelby and Elijah. I'm so proud and blessed to be their mom and grannymom. Thanks for a wonderful Mother's Day celebration today! I love you all!

Day One Hundred Twenty Seven 2011

Before his obsession with radio controlled airplanes began, lo these many years ago, hubby Neil started out on the ground with radio controlled trucks. That interest quickly faded, until grandson Elijah found out Grandpa has RC trucks. So Neil dusted them off and got one up and racing around the back yard this afternoon. He's going to take Elijah and Shelby out maybe this weekend to drive them and see what happens. That should be interesting. I snapped this second picture right before the truck slammed into that metal fire pit we use for marshmallow roasts. The truck survived the hit. We'll see if it survives the grandpeeps.
