Mike.  Is he laughing?



Sleeping in on a holiday because we don't have to go to work.  Ha!  In a way I really miss going to work and being with my workplace family.



I wish you all a pleasant day with gratitude to those who gave their lives in support of this country.

Daily Updates
Veronica Nature Day Two- UPDATE May 29, 2016
29 May 2016

Veronica sees details of chipmunk behavior I wouldn?t notice. She names the squirrels and chipmunks using features I haven?t taken time to notice. Veronica and Ted

The day started with Veronica expressing her fear of snakes. By mid-afternoon, she wanted to go looking for them. A high point today was seeing newly independent yearling Glory (daughter of Shannon, granddaughter of Donna, great granddaughter of Blackheart, and great great granddaughter of Shadow), but the only bear she mentioned in her account for today was Ted, who steals hearts.

In her words:

Green frog female

?It started off as a rainy day, but it was sunny and warm and then in half a millisecond it could be cold and rainy! Anyway, Grandpa and my family took a boat ride on the lake. I drove us all the way home!

One of the reasons we went on the boat ride was to find frogs. We did not, but we got great Loon pictures!

I decided we could not go back to the bear center empty handed, so we went to look for frogs. No luck at the first pond, but boy was it an adventure. Grandpa slipped on a rock but caught himself by jumping to dry land, and mom slipped on the dock. So, empty-handed, we came home (to the cabin) Great Blue Heron

and checked the duckweed pond, and sure enough no frogs, but two ducks! Grandpa got a picture of them until they saw him and flew away. After the birds left, grandpa spotted two little eyes popping out of the duckweed. A frog! And soon enough she had a nice habitat at the bear center (make sure to see Ducky the green frog at the bear center).

The day was not over. Mom and I started to get a headache and dad was starving, so we went to the Ely lodge to get lunch.

We decided the bear center needed snakes. We searched for hours tipping over branches (boards) and rocks.

We had to go to the bear center to say goodbye to Ted (my favorite bear) and Ducky (the new green frog).

Everyone was wondering where the snakes where. We had to confess we spent hours to find no snakes.

So after a few sounds from Ted we went back to the cabin. It was truly a wonderful day. I?m glad I made a new friend, Jaqueline.

Until next year (or a couple of year sadly)

Veronica?

Veronica, Kate, and Adam leave early tomorrow.

Thank you for all you do.

Good Morning jewelies! It is 61 here. Vernoica is a chip off the block for sure! She writes a very good update. wonder why it will be so long before she comes back? Ted is a heart stealer! The pictures are so wow!! Happy vernica learned to not be afraid of snakes.

Hi JP! Love the pic of Mike. Looks like a smile to me! Nice he was feeling something to smile about. Happy the Marlins won! Thanks for the answers! Neat to read about patrick little league and playing spain!! very cool. I see why you like the tigers now. i can't remember how much it cost to go see the royals back then.  i do remember going all the time with steves parents and mom would make donuts and stuff and take them. back then you could take your own stuff. I bet you do miss your work family. Thank you for your services.

Hi Ra! yes we did win 5-4. we was behind 4-2 in the 7th we got 3 runs in the bottom of the 8th and had to get three outs in the ninth to win here came the machine wade davis. out out out! salvy is out for a week to 10 days. so was afraid to not have our all star catcher but the back up is good not salvy good but good. so three player out right now. i went to town and got gas and went back to mowing. was really tired last night.

Hi, Jewelies! No rain, which we need, especially since so much of the planting in the fields has been done. Rues, good for you, reading a book!!! I've read that one and liked it. Did you tell me that crow has read books by C. J. Box? I'm reading his latest, Off the Grid, and I'm thinking that crow would really like it. Ra, do you usually pack too much for a vacation? I tend to do that. My eastern daughter is a master packer. She rolls up her clothes and can get a lot in a suitcase. I saw this technique demonstrated on tv last week. The clothes don't wrinkle as much. The word unkempt is a mild example of rediculasness (is that a word?) of the English language. It is a true miracle that anyone learns to read English, much less spell it!!  I saw miracles everyday in my classroom!  Jp, cal is right--you are among friends and can vent all you want! At almost 77, I'm well launched down the path you are describing. You are truly blessed to be so sharp mentally!! Cal, I would think visiting a prison would be really scary---much, much worse than a school with kids who have had too much indoor recess! (and that's pretty scary!)   lol Hi, nora, bischue, Dlong, neva, Eaglette, pat, chippy, deb!!!

[calhound]

hi you guys! i mowed some in the pasture. went up higher really tall slow going. got the mower up went to let the girls out but didnt cause a  storm came pushing thru. was heavy rain but fast. girls out now! hi obsver! prison was really scary but recess kids would be too! rainy day stuck inside with boo boo a d houla is too!

hi jp in my room on the ipad game be on soon.

i am ashamed to say i checked out that sick dog for 5:26!

Hope all you Jewelies are having a nice Memorial Day. It's been a nice sunny, hot day here. Yesterday evening a thunderstorm storm blew thru with high winds and dumping an inch and a half of rain in a very short time! The roads were flooded and tree limbs were down all over town. We had just back washed the pool filter which lowers the pool level so we were happy to get the rain!

Cal, I remember now that your Hyacinth episode was the costume party. I bet that will be our next Saturday's episode. I love Dr Rogers grand Veronica! What a smart and cute little girl! I wonder, too, why they won't be visiting sooner. As always, excellent pics! I forgot to mention the other day that that giraffe in your game was so cute!

Jp, if Mike isn't laughing, he for sure, is smiling! I don't remember seeing that pic before. I like it! I agree with the others...as I age there are more and more things that I can't do. I especially don't have much hand strength. I have a horrible time trying to open jars! I really enjoyed reading about Patrick and baseball! That would have been so cool if his team won and played in the little league world championship! Crow watches those games every year!

Ra, I knew you would be packed and  ready to go on vacation! Me, I wait till the last minute! Lol! Lowes finally got lantana in! So I got two pots of them today. Got the first one planted in the urn  and then I dropped the second one and broke the plant completely off at the soil! Had to go back to Lowes and buy another one!  Glad that you didn't get slammed by Bonnie! Bet there were a lot of people upset over their holiday plans at the beaches.

Obsver, I finished my book and tomorrow I pick up Big Cherry Holler by the same author at the library! I didn't realize this author wrote so many books. When I find a book I really like, I can't quit reading it and I get nothing done! With the ceiling fans all running now, I have dust bunnies as big as rats rolling around on my floors! Lol! Hope you get some rain soon! I think we have had our share for now but we haven't had as much as Cal! I'll ask Crow about that author! He is reading something now but I don't know what! Lol!

[obsver446]

Oh boy, rues! Dust bunnies as big as rats! lol  lol   Reading is a lot more fun than dusting or running the sweeper!!  I think you'll like all the other books by her, too.  I'm about to the end of the C.J. Box--not sure what I'll start next. I have a lot of books in my stash, and the local library is terrific.

Victor



The Marlins ran into a buzz saw when Pittsburgh came into town and beat them 10-0.

I have to go to the dentist this morning, aren't I the lucky one?

Great wishes for a great bunch of Jewelies to have a great day.

Bear people said this.Dr. Rogers is having trouble with his computer. He did want me to tell you that tomorrow at the Bear Center, 100+ students will be arriving. During that time the staff will be very busy, thus there will be no 11:00 enrichment program but there will be the 1:00 and 4:00 as scheduled. - LG

Good morning jewelies it is 63 here raining lightly. cool 100 plus students coming to learn about the nice black bears! pos dnr can't stop the learning! Too bad he can't learn the truth.

Hi JP! Love mr victor! Wow those pirates did steam roll over the marlins! Was it great pitching on their part? We won our game 6-2 against tampa bay. hosmer got a three run homer in the 8th. ian kennedy pitched 6 innnings i sure do like them wang closed it. butera salvys back up got a hit. sure miss seeing salvy. he was going for a pop in the other game clearly called for it and yost said third base buy cuthbert came charging with his head down and collided with him yost said over excited youth but i am sure got chewed out. yost said we got the best catcher there is and salvy has never missed catching a pop up. You are lucky to go the dentist. lucky to still have your teeth. i love my dentist dr. westman. hate to drive so far to there but he is totally worth it. Be good today! 

Hi Rues! I am going to see if i got nora roberts whiskey beach i think willi said. ca gave me some of boobies books and she loved roberts and some judith person too.  gracie the fashion designer would tell you of course i am cute silly!! now let me give you a gracie fashion check!

It took me 9:02 to get to that guy in Kansas.  By the time I got there he was gone.  I wonder where he went?

[calhound]
