Miscellany

Let's start off the blog with a happy scene .. this is the beach in Tarragona, Spain .. it was the first holiday my sister and I took without our parents .. and it was such fun!! This pic (I'm on the left) was taken later in the day (you can tell by the shadows) and probably by one of our three Polish friends or our three English friends. One day, I'll write about some of the crazy things that happened there!)

*.. Even though 'Stupid' hasn't figured out how to get the food out of the squirrel feeder, one of the local chickadees has! At the top of the Plexiglas enclosure, there are 'breathing' holes and one is just large enough for the little fellow to hop in, grab a shelled sunflower seed, and hop out. And I thought squirrels had larger brains than birds!

*.. We're coming up on the anniversary of dear Rich's death (March 20th) and it's not very easy for me at the moment ... good thing is, as everyone tells me, things get easier after the first year ...

*.. Upcoming happy times: trip to Kentucky, trip to Oregon, get sworn in as an American citizen (I'll have dual citizenship) ...
