Repeat?

Not sure if I have posted this...doesn't matter.  I like the view and being that I am in a hurry, going to use it anyway.

We will be heading to get Lorelei here shortly for a couple days...so our weekend will be busy.  I don't think she knows she is coming yet.  Sarah cannot mention it till she is ready to come or Lorelei drives her crazy.

Sarah was busy the other day and Lorelei comes in and says, "it's okay...I didn't do anything."  So Sarah ask her what did she do....she just says, "it's okay, I didn't do anything."  About that time Jeremy comes and asks what Lorelei done...she had been telling him the same thing.  So they searched till they found she had got a drawer pull off.  But those are words you definitely don't want to hear sometimes...thankfully this wasn't anything bad or messy.

We had Puss Puss to the vet this morn for her sneezing...it has never gone away.  It would get better at times and almost be completely gone only to start again.  She doesn't have a temp, doesn't have a runny nose, or matter in her eyes...but the vet is letting us try antibiotics this time. 

We got her shots, and her antibiotics and came home poorer by $126--though I guess anyone that can spend that much on a cat could not really qualify as poor.

After all these years....

Yesterday Roger got a little MP3 player and we got to adding music to it...oh, what memories.  It was like taking a stroll down memory lane for both of us I think.  Certain songs I played a million times while working at the orchard...oh, there is a long list of them...too long to put here....others are from our early years together and before there was an 'us'....Neil Young is in that category....some is before our time together.  For me that would be Merle Haggard and some Rolling Stones...

Anyway, that got me to looking for some songs just to see if I could find them in  MP3 format...and just looking at music in general.  Of course I looked for this one song that I have looked for ever since we got the computer....I have a cassette on which I taped it from the radio.  I heard it a few times back then, but never heard who sang it.

After years of searching, I discovered it was by In Pursuit...so I continued to search. I was searching to find the album it was on, searched you tube...just anything.  I had all but given up, but every so often I would look for it again.

Just a few minutes ago, thought I would try it again just for fun...did not find a digital version to buy but did find it on You Tube!!!! I still love it...after all these years.  I don't expect anyone else to love it...but let me tell you I was ecstatic to discover it there waiting for me.

From a few weeks ago

I am going to show you the deer we saw while at the Heron Viewing station last time we were there...the one north of Danville, Illinois.

 She just did not seem to concerned with us.  We were not far from her at all.

She finally strolled away.  I did not notice the 'things' at the top of her shoulder till I downloaded the pics and enlarged them

You can see them better if you right-click on the image and chose to open in another tab or window.  I've not ever seen anything like it.  Roger says deer get injured and get sores, etc...but these are two strange places to my way of thinking.

I went fishing again out at Universal...I caught 5 or 6 large-mouth bass but all were really on the small side.  But was still fun to catch.  I fished for a couple hours and ran through the strip pits. 

It is just so strange out there.  I seen a Blue Heron and an Egret, and that is all I saw.  I may have seen two or three birds flying, but that is it...and I really don't remember seeing any.  It was as if I were on another planet.  I did not see meadowlarks, nor blackbirds, nor anything moving at all.  Not even a single deer.  Which almost any time we go through there we see something...a pheasant or a deer or a hawk.

I saw the one Northern Harrier a time or two about a month ago, and have not seen it since.  I have not see a short-eared owl yet...and haven't seen an eagle out there in ages and ages.  So I am beginning to wonder if it has all found some other place to go.
