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!

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!
