Baby II

 
Five or has it been six years ago my manly man
and I went to Italy and this is what
I brought home! I fell in love with all the
scooters and Vespa's.
 
 
Here's my new toy! When I first rode it
I just couldn't keep this huge
smile off my face! Now I'm trying hard
to not get so excited and concentrate
on my driving.
I've had a few little tumbles and Baby is worse
for wear, me, just a few bruises.
All in all
it's just been plain ole' fun!!
 
The big question people ask me is "Where do you even get
something like that!" (we definitely don't live in Europe!)
Actually we got this off Craig's List but there
are a few Vespa places in Seattle.
 
Of course all the kids want rides but I told
them I've got to get alittle more
confident first.
 
Saturday was a beautiful day so I took my first "trip" and drove the back roads to Granite Falls to visit the Veatch's. It was beautiful and
I had no problems until I drove into the driveway
and waved to the kids and ran into
Mike's truck!! Fortunately I didn't hurt the truck!
 
 
Conner man trying it out. He was so cute, he kept
telling me, "I like your scooter".
 
Looking forward to more lovely weather (which it looks
like is coming up) and more fun rides.

    Vespa's and Lambretta's were very much part of my youth. Great fun.

    Linda, you are just amazing! I love your Vespa and your nerve! My daughter's mother-in-law drives a scooter and she loves it - I can imagine that it must be a lot of fun!

    The good thing is that Mike was not standing by the truck.

    It sounds like you are having so much fun. Life can be good.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
