Wednesday, February 22, 2006


WILL YOU LOOK AT THIS GUY??? I WAS LOOKING AT TV, WHEN MY HUBBY CALLED ME TO THE KITCHEN. SHOWING ME WHAT HAD LANDED ON THE BACK PORCH RAILING. NOW, THIS GUY IS NO STRANGER AROUND HERE, LAST WEEK HE WAS SITTING IN THE PINE TREE I WENT OUT TO SEE HIM , AND HE LOOKED AT ME AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE HE FLEW AWAY. HE SURE SCARES THE HECK OUT OF THE BIRDS. THE ONLY THING , I DIDN'T LIKE WAS THE WAY HE WAS LOOKING AT MY FISH POND THAT WAS RIGHT DOWN BELOW HIM. HE BETTER STAY AWAY FROM THEM !!! WELL, THATS THE NEWS FROM DOWN IN THE COUNTRY!!(LAUGHING) FRAN

Good evening every one!! sorry I have not posted lately, but it seems I have been busy. We are having the freezing weather we knew was coming,, only got to about 27 degrees today. But , I guess we should not complain, since some parts of the country is worse off,,
Funny story,, I was in the store Valebtines day, and the men were in there buying the flowers and candy and such... I got to thinking,, and I have told girls I used to work with this ;
"if my husband came home with flowers on Valentines day, I would think he was really up to something""needless to say he has never bought me flowers for that day, one year when I was pregnat he bought me a gallon jar of dill pickles,, hey, that was what I was craving!!
We still remember that one and laugh about it. I guess that means different stokes for different folks, right? Well, I got to go, have a great week and stay warm,,,, Fran
