So my son bought a new car a few months ago. Well, at 21 you CANNOT have a new car without G.P.S. It annoys the heck out of me. I call her Belle and she has absolutely no personality. How did we, ‘in the olden days’ ever find our way around? (barefoot in the snow)
You spend a small fortune for an emotionless voice to tell you where to go, not to mention by the time you enter all the information for Belle to process you could be half way to your destination. Part of me wants to “be hip” so I designed my own device. H.I.P. Heidi’s Ingenious Plan
It’s cheap.
It’s user friendly.
It’s portable, transfer it between your cars in seconds!

How does it work you ask?
You simply attach it (with velcro) to your dashboard facing towards you. It is at eye level, you will never lose your signal, etc…
So now you have made it to your destination but how do you find your way home?

You simply detach from the velcro, flip it upside down and WALA!
Now that’s H.I.P.

Well, it’s no secret I have a duck problem I having been missing them for sometime now.
Too long.
I was walking thru the park today enjoying the soft, green grass and picking those ‘blowy’ flower things. Enjoying nature…the birds, butterflies an occasional squirrel…
There in the distance, I saw something
No!
It couldn’t be!
Could it?
It was no longer yellow but ducks often change colors as they mature. Well, I was not going to take any chances. I bolted across that soft, green grass smashing every ‘blowy’ flower thing in my path. I startled the poor little as it started running when attempted to dive on it, embrace it and take it back to the row it so rightfully belongs. I didn’t give up though I gave that little guy a run for it’s money.

It wasn’t until I caught it (sorry little buddy!!) did I realize it was not one of my beloved ducks, it was a turkey! I recomposed myself, made sure nobody was injured and continued my journey thru the park.

But I was too sad to pick anymore ‘blowy’ flowers and every living creature I encountered ran for their lives when they saw me. That was my day….at the park.

have stood by me through the good times and the bad… I Love You!

Went to the Zoo the other day (ya know…family reunion thing) and I snapped this random shot of a Hummingbird over by the Baboons. (gosh seems like just yesterday they were just babies) Anyways I had to share, for being such a quick, last minute shot, I loved the way it turned out!

Seven years. Living, fighting, surviving, and sometimes falling. It’s me…it’s who I am, take it or leave it. I pray, I plead, I cry each and every day but I will not surrender. I deserve it and I will continue to fight for, The Gift of Life….My Life!
