Young Robin – My Point Proven

Last evening, my husband and I were going down to visit with some friends.  Just before we left, I grabbed my camera and my husband asked… “why are you taking the camera, we’re not really going very far?”  My answer to that was…. “you never know what you might see’'.  We didn’t even make it out of the driveway when I spotted this young robin, who could barely fly, sitting on the fence right next to our vehicle.  My point proven………….you never know!

4-Wheeling Gloves

My sister bought me a pair of gloves to wear when I ride my 4-wheeler.  She actually bought them approximately 2-3 years ago and as of yet, they are in another world, somewhere.  For the life of me, I can not remember where I put them.  I’ve looked everywhere for them, well, I guess not everywhere or I would have them, right?  I’ve even looked in those places that you say to yourself….”now, where would I have put those if I was going to put them somewhere”.  Guess what?…..they’re not there either.  FRUSTRATION….! 
My husband and I were in Harbor Freight last month and I saw a pair of mechanics gloves with spandex that I thought would work for riding.  They are light weight, breathable, stretchy, have silicone dots for gripping, and easy to get off and on with the velcro wrist straps.  They were on sale and the price was right, so I made them mine.  I plan on going 4-wheeling in the coming week and I hope these gloves work as I’m hoping they will.

Now, this is where Murphy’s Law come into play.  Now that I bought these gloves, I’m sure my missing gloves will come out from hiding.

Short Drive Photo Opportunities

I traveled a short distance from my home the other day to pick up some books at a friends home.  Even though it was a short drive, my photo opportunities were good.

Sister Missionaries Meet Cows

The last part of May, the Sister Missionaries came to my home to pick up a lace temple bracelet that I had made to give them.  It was so funny to hear this comment…..”how do you drive through cows”, the minute I opened the door.  The Sister Missionary who was driving evidently got stuck behind a herd of cattle being driven up the road.  While she was excited and explaining what had happened, I pictured this huge herd heading up the road.  I calmly explained to her that you just keep driving at a very, very low speed as you pass through and the cattle will move for you.  She said that is exactly what she had done but there were crazy people that were driving through the cattle at a faster speed.  She didn’t stay long as she rushed to their car, wanting to get on the road before the cattle passed in front of our home.  She didn’t want to get stuck behind the cattle, again.  TOO LATE – Ha!  The photos tell the entire story from start to finish.





And yes, the Sister Missionaries were headed in the same direction as the cows.  And about that herd of cattle……as it turned out, the herd looked to be under 20 head.  I’m still laughing………….
