VACATION WEEK

Dreamsicle in the new cat wheel, actually we have had this for awhile however, Daddy (Gill) finally put it together. Quite nice, nice padded place to sleep, burlap on each side for scratching and cubby holes on top to hide.

Magnolia Park

Magnolia Park, I did a research to see what Peacocks eat, one usually always comes to truck and we do not have food and actually one thing they like is cat food and we have lots of that!

Ichenucknee Springs State Park

Peacock Springs State Park

I have been on vacation for a week - nice and relaxing. We started by going and seeing the peacocks at Magnolia Park, a county park not far from our house.

We had 2 LDS missionaries come twice this week, once to watch a movie on Joseph Smith and another for some teaching.

DONNY.COM launched on June 16th, this is Donny 3.0 and I am loving it - lots of new pictures and videos, chat room and message boards.

Then we visited 4 state parks, Ichetucknee Springs which is known for tubing. In fact Gill is going there with the church group in a couple of weekends; Troy Springs, Peacock Springs and Lafayette Springs. We crossed the Swannee River several times. Peacock is popular for cave diving and Lafayette was under construction. But it was a nice day, we ate dinner at a nice little restaurant the Goose Nest in Fort White, before we got back on 75 to head home.

Then we went and saw "The Propasal", cute and funny with Sandra Bullock and Ryan???

I also did a search on cat whiskers, I find them occassionnally around the house and yes (please no comments) I save them. Well much to my happiness, I found a BLOG and I am not the only crazy person who saves them.

OH and my Brother called me TWICE this week. OK my Mother had some really bad back pain earlier in the week, she got a shot in her back and has felt pretty good since them. So he was making sure that I kept updated about her. Thanks Brad!!!!

PIZZA FUSION

Just ate here, new place in Dr. Phillips. Good, for those who need it - serving gluten free, organic & vegan options! They also deliver in hybrid vehicles!

BABY BIRD

We have a baby bird, the nest I think was actually in the folks who live behind us yard. I came home from work Monday night and saw this baby in a bush in our front yard, not sure how he got there as he can not fly yet. He is so cute with fuzz on his head. We saw him yesterday but have not found him today yet.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND MAY 09

We were in Hilton Head Island last week. Despite mostly rain, wind and cool (Gill would say cold)weather, we had a good time with my Mother, Uncle Pete and Aunt Diane. We played alot of cards and visited. This picture was taken on Hunting Island State Park, an adventure that Gill and I did. We had fun exploring the park, saw 3 deer, squirrels, birds and some beach erosion. It was windy but a beautiful day - one of only 2.

AHH THE SWEET SMELL OF GARDENIAS

As I walked up my front sidewalk this evening, the sweet smell of my gardenias hit me, it is so beautiful! We got a small tree a few years ago, it has doubled. Tonight I had 4 blooms open, 1 about to open and about 20 other buds to come!!! It does not bloom often but when it does, WOW.

HAPPY NURSE WEEK

Happy nurse week to me & all my friends who are nurses! I have been an RN for 29 years & my entire career has been neonatal intensive care. I became a certified neonatal intensive care nurse in 1986.
