Not much help for this blog

So.....I found my camera. Right where it should have been.....how do things like that happen? I'd looked there 50 times!! Anyway. I thought WAHOOO!!! I can blog again. but I can't figure out how to take a picture of my camera.......................sigh ;)

Where the Heck.....

I've decided that having a camera is a great incentive to blog. I've misplaced mine...hopefully it hasn't been stollen. I find that everytime I sit down to blog I get discouraged because I like having pictures to go with my blog. So... Cowboy poetry contest comes and goes, along with the Wayne county fair. No pictures no blog. The first day of school comes and goes. No camera no blog. I bottle raspberry jam and dilly beans. No camera no blog, and on and on....I guess I should really focus on finding my camera or else buy a new little cheap one so that I at least capture the memories.

Why you wanna be me;)

Highlights of our Summer.........hm......let's see

This summer we lost 6 of our 11 dogie lambs to two black labs....It wasn't a pretty sight. And we worked so hard to keep them alive to start with.

Then 3 of our horses snuck into about 60 lbs of grain..........Not a good thing for horses. That one sent them to the vet in Richfield where they were given mineral oil antibiotics and ibuprofen for horses.

Then our sheepherder's horse ran away with him on it and he fell off breaking ribs and tearing shoulder ligaments and rendering him unable to herd....so we get to!!

I loved the James Family Reunion although at odd times I break into songs about old fashion harmony and long for band music....and then my heart starts palpitating.......

Softball was great this summer....even though the few family members that came to watch wondered if my team was for real.........We actually took third place in the tournament.

I've also began walking/running out at Big Rocks every morning I'm amazed at how peaceful it is in the mornings, with a view of the whole town before me as I walk home It gives me a whole different perspective on life.

I can't believe summer is so close to being over........We haven't even gone swimming once this year in our county pool. Ah well.......

Saving memories

a beautiful flower in my garden, I just liked it.
Oaklee taking a nap in my bed. I liked her position.

Aubree trying to act happy for this picture and only tolerating me and the camera so she can go in and watch a movie.

I LOVE this picture.........just don't want to loose it:)

About 3-4 months ago durring a lightening storm my computer crashed and I lost every thing Sob, SOB SOB!!!!! I know it's my own fault for not being more careful and backing everything up better, sigh. But, thank heavens for my blog. At least I have my blog!!!! So here I am blogging pictures I like so I won't loose them because of my lack of ability to wisely back everything up.
