Hummingbird Babies

2009-06-06T14:06:00.000-07:00

How cute are these little guys...or girls!!! Hmmm...or guy and girl for that matter...

Anyway! My mom just moved into her new house and this little pair is tucked away in a grapefruit tree in her front yard! I couldn't resist snapping a few shots of them. This is actually the second set of hummingbird babies she has found. The first set were hanging from her attic ladder pull down string under her carport. (I took some pics of that set with her camera, I'll have to see if I can download them) I wonder what I'll have to take pictures of on my next trip to moms house!? :o)

Visit with Dad!!!

2008-11-11T19:12:00.000-08:00

So, for those of you know haven't heard, my dad had a little accident. While at work in Monroe, LA a "mat" made of 2x12 (?) pieces of wood, weighing 1800 lbs fell and hit him. It broke his collar bone, broke his arm and shattered his leg. This happened on the 16th on October. Since then he has had a plate with screws put into his arm and his leg (the doctors counted about 130 pieces of bone) has been sliced, diced, plated and screwed back together as well. My sister, her boyfriend and I took a little trip this weekend to see him!!! We also got a chance to see our brother which was nice since it's been about 5 months. Those are a few of the pictures from the trip and I will keep you posted with dad's progress.....

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

2008-04-16T13:48:00.000-07:00

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been give five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine".

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of "nothing".)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A women is thanking you. Do not question, or faint; just say you're welcome. I want to add in a clause here: This is true unless she says "Thanks a lot" - That is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say "you're welcome" in this case, that will bring on "whatever".

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying "Screw YOU!"

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a women has asked a man to do several times, but is now doing herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response, refer to #3.

What does love mean???

2008-04-09T11:44:00.000-07:00

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over andpaint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca- age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your french fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"
Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate"
Nikka - age 6

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody, you don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine-age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day"
Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."
Karen - age 7

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
Jessica - age 8

And the final one...
-- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"
