Birthday wishes--some belated, some not...

I'll be the first to admit it--my memory isn't what it used to be, so that is my lame excuse for forgetting to wish brother JoJo a happy 33rd birthday...better late than never!! And before I forget it as well, here's some birthday wishes for the glamorous Lulu--soon to be 31, and spectacular as ever!!

I can really see the green of her eyes in that photo! Lisa

PS: You're back in my favorites, Don!

PSS: I'm sorry I didn't call you back last week. I keep forgetting about it when I'm home in the evening, and remembering it at work when I can't do anything about it. What's up?

Late fall activities

Image
Well, I better get this blog post out before too long--hard to believe it is already December and the holiday season is upon us!  The picture above is from a visit earlier this fall by Beth--and her introduction to our new female tabby kitten "Charlie".  Charlie got her name from the neighbor boy who thought she was a he when this small stray kitten showed up in our neighborhood.  We believe someone dumped her when she was old enough to be on her own--she was definitely very friendly from the very beginning!  The neighbors "found" her first, but as they have cat allergies, were not going to take her in...Since our Bella had died earlier this year, we determined that we were going to wait until early 2024 to find a replacement cat...but as they say, you don't find cats, they find you...  So now we have Charlie! This has been a fairly conventional if very busy fall for us...Halloween came and went remarkably quick, with our traditional pumpkin carving (above) and ...

Happy 4th of July!

Nothing like starting off the 4th of July with a bit of a BANG!!! When we last left y'all, we were in the midst of the 2011 Arkansas Archeological Society's summer dig... The rest of the week, we continued digging, and continued to find neat things like this 1830s vintage silver US dime: Here's an interesting picture--the orangish color object is a brick--what is the white thing above it? (Hint: it's upside down...) It is the ceramic, painted head of a toy doll! Like many (most) archeological digs, some of the neatest items turn up at the very end, and this dig at Historic Washington was no different (the dime and doll's head were found on the last full day of the dig). We thoroughly enjoyed this year's dig, heat and all, and look forward to next year's excavations. Earlier this spring, Kenny was given a cabbage to plant, and though it didn't fare well in the heat and dryness we had, it did produce a decent little head that was pretty tasty chopp...

It doesn't feel like fall yet...

Today has finally brought some relief from the heat, humidity, and yes, drought, of the past weeks...No matter what the calendar says about fall starting in the third week of September, it never feels like that this time of year in southern Arkansas!  Yes, we have a lot of the fall trappings, such as kids back in school and football (and tailgating) back in style...But the only leaves changing colors down here are those succumbing to drought.  As you can see in the picture above, Stephen and his fellow bandmates are still playing at halftime of these evening games in shorts...and our tailgating the other weekend at the UAM football game was a warm and sunny affair: I spent several days traveling parts of Arkansas for work recently, looking at old stands of timber...and some of the wildlife that lives there...Saw my first tarantulas in the wild while on the Ouachita National Forest on this trip...The one pictured below was actually being killed by a large wasp called a "tarantu...
