Day 118...I'm Such A Slacker...:(

May 16, 2012  •  Leave a Comment
Day 118
I've had some problems with procrastination in the last few months...I'm usually much better than this.
Graduation announcements, in my opinion, are somewhat like Christmas cards...as long as you get them sent out within the "season" you're all good, right? Please say yes...:)
My late night job this evening! Assembly time...purchase stamps and in the mail tomorrow...
At least they're in the mail before graduation day, right?!!!
my last bit of slacking today comes in the form of ...
photo taken with PnS, glaring flash AND set on "that dreaded little green square"...
go ahead, just give up on me...I'm about there myself...
Well, then again, tomorrow's a whole new day!
I get to start all over!


Day 117...Harley Plant Tour

Day 117
Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Harley-Davidson Kansas City Plant Tour
The tour was very interesting! I would suggest it to anyone who is even remotely interested in the history of our fabulous Amercan companies! This one has a great story! No cameras were allowed on the tour so I just caught a couple shots of these signs in the front of the touring center to remember my day by. There were beautiful bikes sitting on the floor in the gift store/ touring center area and cameras were allowed in that area but to be honest,
bikes just sitting around really didn't interest me much.




Day 116...After Hours Editing

Day 116
Funny thing happened on the way to ...the end of my day :)
No photos taken, a busy day that flew by! 
It was so beautiful outside and I know I missed out on many opportunities, but before I knew it, it was late into the evening and I was sitting in front of the computer editing my daughters senior photos when I decided this would be my photo of the day.
Here's what I do late at night...edit photos!


Day 115...Hummingbird Moth (Mother's Day)

Day 115
While outside this evening, winding down my Mother's day with watering flowers and scoping out my birdies as they came in for their evening meal, this little "Hummingbird Moth" found me!
Interesting as it may be, it's really nothing more than an garden PEST!
In it's most evil state it's a Horn worm that will devour our Tomatoes... :(
Right now, this moth is enjoying nectar from my sweet little Primroses but it wont be long before it's laying it's pesky Horn worm eggs on the leaves of our Tomato plants...:(
Have you ever seen a Horn worm? I HATE them...they're enough to give you nightmares!
I have a feeling I'll be posting a photo of one of those sometime relatively soon!


Mark told me what this pesky little thing was so I researched it a bit to add some info to my blog.
(just in case you're interested!)
I chose this particular link because it had the exact photo of the moth I photographed this evening


Day 114...Siblings, Weeds and Bumble Bees!

Day 114
There are no words that can truly express a mom's pride in her children when you see they've become self-sufficient, independent and successful adults...You've watched them struggle, cling to their dreams and feel their frustrations and pain as they work so hard to achieve their goals......
 and then they get there...THEY DO IT!!
(and they give you beautiful grandchildren too)...:)
I'm so proud of you Michael...I guess I did something right because God gave you to me!

(: ...Michael and his wife, my daughter-in-law, Margo!... :)

Roxanna, Michael and Kaley
Three of my fabulous kids!!!

My fabulous baby girl, Abby(L), Jacob and Mackenzie
Abby had to be at a High School grad party that was being thrown at a friends house. She was one of three guests of honor (the three have been friends since kindergarten and decided to have a combined party for all their friends)...it's so hard when there are conflicts on important dates and both of these occasions had been set before anyone realized they were on the same day...:(
Mark and I sped away right after graduation to catch up with Abby and her special day!

weeds to some, wildflowers to another...either way, I love them...
walking to the car after the graduation ceremony...I had to get a shot of this too!

beautiful little walk to the Independence Events Center from the outermost parking lot
