The Blood mOOn

Yep, I set my alarm for 1:30am & got out of my nice warm bed to stand outside in the cold. Wind chill factor of 36 & windy. Brrrrr. 

Camera on a tripod, tripod blowing a bit, but was still able to get something!

Then pain hit, so I had to call it quits & get back into my now cold not so warm bed. 

The price we pay for nature huh?

I have a broken finger, my little finger on my right hand. Soooo, it was screaming at me in pain. I ignored it as best as I could to get the footage though. Yes, I was a bad Mom to my little finger!

So, I'll insert some photos for those that .....uh oh, I can't. OK, I'll have to do that later as I want to get this post out. The photos are in my external harddrive, so again, will get them later. 

But I do have this video I slaved for.....so please enjoy!







PS, My Tarsal Tunnel is back, which is partly why I've been absent. I go to surgery tomorrow. I guess during my healing time will be a good time to catch up with ya'll. Have a wonderful evening everyone. 

Ho Hum

Hi everyone, hope all is well with ya'll!

Life has been rather ho-hum lately.

I've been doing a lot of dog sitting lately, well, not only dogs, but a cat, 2 Peacocks & 1 Macaw.

Then there's my guys too. I too have dogs & cats.

I've become a kennel manager in some way. Hmmmm

So I've not been hanging out on blogger like I'd like to lately. But I have finally added my cheap, er, inexpensive camera that does videos to my netbook. The netbook has windows8 & won't take my real camera now :-(  There are no drivers for it so I guess at this point, I have to consider my old camera obsolete, which sucks. The memory card in it is sooo big that it doesn't even fit today's new card readers. Bummer.

So I will have to check out cameras out there & make a decision on acquiring a new one.

In the meantime, I've started working on videos again since I have footage that was just sitting there.

Last weekend, we did go to Brazos Bend State Park. I had no idea that it really wasn't that far away from me! It's  a really neat park, but it does have gators! My friends' grandchildren were here, so we took them there. They wanted to see gators, but none were out. So we did some walking & went to the observatory. Saw the moon all close up & personal. Saw Saturn, Venus & the stars of the Big Dipper. That was cool. Especially seeing the rings around Saturn & Venus.

I plan on going back to that park to do some camping when the weather cools down a bit. It's so darn hot. It's just too hot to go camping anywhere, which would really help with my boredom if I could. But me & the dogs would only sit inside of the RV trying to keep cool in the a/c if we tried camping right now.

Here is a link to Brazos Bend State Park:  http://wildtexas.com/texas-parks/brazos-bend-state-park
I plan on buying a park pass for Texas State parks once I do finally get out to do some camping. I also live within an hour of Stephen F Austin State Park too.

I'm still in therapy. That should finish up in the first week of September. I'm not anywhere near where I'd like to be physically. I did pay for the walking we did at Brazos Bend. We didn't do that much, but what we did do was still too much for me. But then, there was also a lot of standing around too. Especially in the lines at the observatory to see through the huge telescopes. But it was cool! Especially with the young boys, which are my friends grandsons. Their excitement of seeing these planets really enhanced our moods for sure.

But since I'm not healing as well this time around, they might put me in another program for more therapy. We'll see. I do need it, but I'm so tired of all this.....

The main chiropractor there told me that it's harder the 2nd time around on the same type of surgeries on the same body part. It just takes a lot longer to heal. I have to agree with that.

Again, I hope all is well with everyone. I'm going to once again, try to catch up on my blog reading. I finally have some quiet time for about 2 hours.

I'm still alive & new welcome

Welcome to Evonne Llewellyn! Happy to have you along. Evonne doesn't appear to  have a blog yet, but I hope she will start one soon!

Seems I've been missing in action. 

Again. 

Sorry, life has been kind of hectic lately. 

I am way behind on my blog reading & I miss ya'll! 

Maybe tomorrow, I'll have a little time to play catch up.  

I've had some work done on the Motorhome, which I'll blog about tomorrow. 

Hopefully. 

Today, I had an EMG test on my ankle. 

Guess what?

IT HURT!!! 

Owies. 

Then I proceeded to get lost - stuck - doing circles around Houston as I was trying to avoid the Great Spaghetti Bowl! Dang, it gets cornfusing! 

But after a few different circles, I finally found my way on the correct direction. 

I'd show ya'll an image, but they are all copyright protected & I must honor those copyrights!

But you can google Spaghetti Bowl + Houston, TX & get a view of what it looks like.

Today I have a little freebie tip I found on the internet some time back - it looks like a cool idea, although I've never tested it: 

 Ellie is chirping. At first, it alarmed me because I could not figure out why my sensors were going off. 

Once again, it's the smoke detector telling me it's hungry for a new battery. 

It fools me every time. 

I guess I'm easily fooled ;-)
