14 July, 2012 -- it IS rocket science

Picture a 6 year old teaching me Pokemon. It IS rocket science.

At the Des Moines Science Center... it really IS rocket science.

Geocaching isn't rocket science, but we only found 3 of the 5 we hunted.

10 minutes in the pool at the end of the day!

2012 June 20 -- Ain't supposed to happen

Amaryllis is for winter and Christmas. Ain't supposed to bloom in June!
Bud on grapefruit tree sprout, in a pot. They ain't supposed to bloom.
Little plants, seeds from grapefruit we buy at the supermarket.

Where'd he go??? He left me behind! It ain't supposed to happen!

Exciting... antique tractor pull... lots of putt-putt and bu-bu-bu-rrrrr and the crowd goes wild!

2012 June 4 -- Glorious, east and west


















 

  Well, this one was a little storm to the north.
It threw this long shadow to the horizon to the east. Waiting for the full moon to rise.

25 May, 2012 -- B2 and B-American


Several evenings ago, as we sat watching the sunset, B2 made a big sweeping u-turn. It's way up there.
Monday, May 28 is Memorial Day. I salute the Soldiers, honor the Veterans.
I am so proud to be an American!
