Bird's eye view.....

Can she...?

I captured three Hummers in this shoot...

but

there were actually nine, by my count, buzzing Misskitty.

I could see the little wheels in her brain whirling...

"I think I can.....I think I can...."

She looked at that 15 foot drop several times and then decided to jump down on the front porch instead of going for a Hummer...

Smart Kitty!

..Hope is Forever..

Did you ever...

ask yourself...."I didn't create this problem..why are i the one who has to solve this problem?"

That was my thought process at work yesterday.....as i dealt with a huge problem between our well know phone carrier and the head office in Raleigh...

I did my part correctly....why....oh why....am i the one clearing up this mess...!!

Because i can.....i guess...!

After all, before i retired from the school district....this is what i did everyday...

ugh......!!!!

..Hope is Forever..

Oops...there goes....

another bean in the jar...!!

..Hope is forever..

It's that time again....

It's put a bean in the jar time...!!

Four days of August and 2 beans in the jar already,

it's gonna be a foggy month...!!

..Hope is Forever..
