I see you!

A day spent with Lorelei is a busy day...and that is where we spent our day. She loves her monkey and some of her other toys and will pick them up and give them hugs...and brings them to us for us to hug them, too.
She can spend a lot of time in her box! She loves to play peek-a-boo while in it. And she really loves it if she sees their cat, Diesel, get in the box. She goes in with him, but he won't stay there.

I know I am her grandma and a little bit prejudiced, but I cannot believe how smart she is. They have a gate up between the living room and dining room...it is one that actually swings back and forth like an actual gate...not one you have to put up and down. She actually knows what part of it stops it from swing from one side to the other, just hasn't quite figured out how to get past it. I bet if she could see the top of it, that she could figure it out.

Peek-a-boo

These are from the Turkey Run State Park Nature Center...the top photo I took just as we were passing by. It reminded me of playing peek-a-boo with Lorelei, hence the title of this post.
These last two were from inside. In the nature room is a small room...it has two walls that have big windows. All kinds of food is out for the birds and whatever else ventures there.
There was about half a dozen little chipmunks running around, with one or two of them stuffing their cheeks as full as they could. Just look at the photo above, and enlarge it to see better.

We headed down to Nashville, Indiana day before yesterday. We just wanted to get out and see something else for a change. I wanted to go for one reason, but didn't want to because on the drive down there, there is just no opportunity to stop and take pictures. It is a fairly busy road with no place to pull over.

So, we were past Terre Haute, but not to Spencer, and came to a major 4-way stop....I asked Roger did he mind taking a different route...so we head south still on a major road for a ways. Then we started through the country. Though I still didn't take a lot of photos, we sure seen some beautiful places. Places I want to go back to, preferably in the fall...I think the ridges and rolling hills would really be beautiful.

However, I seen this sign...it isn't beautiful or anything. I have no idea what it means, but I thought it funny....and would love to know the story behind it.

We had little Miss Busy Body with us all day yesterday...when she is here she just stays busy. When we got her in the house, we could not get her out of the car seat quick enough to please her....she was straining at the straps. I told her mom, when she is standing by something such as an end table or whatever...if you watch her feet, one of them is constantly feeling for something to climb up on. I bet she will be able to climb trees by the age of two...well, maybe not that young. But she will want to.
