Me, I'm more of your basic grasshopper-type. ;)

Sweet Relief!!!

Blue skies without a speck of a cloud, warm sunshine, no humidity, and COOOOL breezes!! Fall is here (finally) and it was a sunroof-kinda-day :)

Wild Blue Yonder

We went to the "Jacksonville Sea & Sky Spectacular" yesterday afternoon. Our aim was to see the US Navy "Blue Angels" flight demonstration squadron. They were due to fly at 2pm, and we were sitting in HEAVY beach traffic at 1:45. Parking was crazy, most businesses were charging $20 to park, and traffic was very annoying to say the least. We were very blessed though...just as my sister was about to go into conniptions and was waving a $20 bill around, we spotted a lot - with no attendant - and a very poorly written sign stating that parking was $20.00. There was one spot left, we jumped on it. :) We were one block from the beach, and ended up in a perfect position to see it ALL!

RJ loved the airplanes, except when they buzzed right over our heads. It was pretty loud, he didn't care too much for that part. :) I felt kind of guilty, being from an Air Force family and all (should have been watching the Thunderbirds) :) But RJ's other Granddaddy was a Navy man, so I guess it's Ok that I enjoyed it as much as I did. ;o)

I really enjoy a good air show. But THIS one really, REALLY enjoys it :)
PS: Yes I did really take these pictures, and yes the sky really was that blue. :) These aren't enhanced or edited in any way other than some cropping. You can see the rest on my flickr.My Sister, Debbie365, got some great shots too, probably better than these because she had a good zoom. You can see them on her blog as well, I'm going to check now. :)

"Like Ships Passing in the Night..."

...except it was one ship, and in the middle of the day :)

Sky Watch Friday

Bald Eagle

Not a good picture at all, but it was COOL!! There was two of them, I was at the river and the wind was fierce. They would fly against the wind like they were in slow motion, and then circle around with the wind and really go. I wonder if they have a nest somewhere in the park?
Then the sun set...
And I went home happy. The river has that effect. :)

Ohhh...give me strength!!

"I will not eat the baby's candy...I will not eat the baby's candy..."!!!!


Ok...I'll be honest and say "I will not eat any MORE of the baby's candy..." ;o)

Happy Birthday Baby Will :)

That's what we used to call him :) He was my baby for 11 years, until RJ came along. (He's still my baby though, they all are) He is 14 today. Wow, once again...where does the time go?? Here are some of my favorite pictures of him. This is when he was about 8 months old:


This picture has a hilarious story behind it, I wish I could share them all. It was Easter Sunday, and he did NOT want his picture taken. I have several other pictures of him making faces, hiding behind a bush, and squatting down into a little ball, trying not to be noticed. We finally got him to laugh, which is this one...
6th birthday, when the skateboard obsession began :)
Batman for Halloween...
6th birthday present...
at the zoo. I have him and brother and sister posing on this same statue at different ages.
Relaxing at Papa and Grannie's house...


Baptism...

Tubing at the family reunion. They all love to go to this reunion. They have a blast tubing with their cousins.

Just a few weeks ago. (It was a picture for his myspace, hence the "serious" look)

Happy Birthday, Baby Will. No matter how old you get, you will still be my baby. :)
