I can’t believe that I have updated this since the 14th, oh my goodness(says the Gramma, with much *chagrin*)  We have been following the rising career of my grandson, Bryson, the jockey.  We have watched him on TV(the racing channel on Dish, at our daughter Allison’s house), went on-line to find out how he did in all of his races, and sent family to go watch him!  I think Jim will get to go watch him this Tuesday(wish I could go:(

Jim was helping Mom put her earrings in this morning(her hands still have a touch of neuropathy from the chemo she had last year).  Poor Mom, he had her ear stretched out like a bat wing!

Jim helping(well, yeah, okay, he was helping) the Mama!

The things that make my days really wonderful are always seeing God’s creation, be it mountains(my personal mountain, Mt Rainier), or animals, birds in the wild…On a really good day I see the mountain on the way home & then as I drive off the highway into Monte, on the off ramp, there is my friend, the hawk…He is so beautiful…Today on the way home from church, we saw him fly into the brush & go after some dinner.  He must have missed, cause he didn’t come up with anything.  I got a picture of him as he landed on the underside of the highway….Here, as I affectionately call him, is Hawkie…

My Friend, Hawkie!

My Friend, Hawkie!

I don’t think he likes his picture taken!  He is beautiful to look at..

We still are playing lots of Rummikub, what a fun game.  We need to have a game night soon & invite over some friends & have a tourney….:)

That’s it for today…love to the fam & friends!
