I Spy - Wish

Photobucket
Time once again for the ever popular I Spy with Christy's Mad Mind and my crazy one.  Every week we beg for people to follow along.  Some of you are very loyal and we love you for it.  It is such a fun way to show off the photo's that you take.  We are just asking you to show off what you take pictures of.  It is so easy.  Our rules are even easier.  We give you 2 whole prompts.  One of them is always the same, YOUR CHOICE.  The other one changes weekly with this weeks being WISH.  Don't boggle down your brain with "what the heck am I going to do".  Boggle it with, "this is going to be a great interpretation of the prompt".  
Are you ready to see my interpretations?  Well, hopefully you are, because, ummmm, you are here and stuff.  :)
WISH

My first and second photo's are my wish that I could design and decorate cakes like my daughter.  She sure didn't take this skill from me, because I never had it.  
Makes you want a piece of cake and for you milk lovers like me, a huge ole glass of milk on ice (well, maybe minus the ice if you are a wuss)

I wish that I could draw more than a bath.  My sister actually painted this on the wall where she works.  I love how she put the night light as the light on the lighthouse.  Yeah, I wish I had a talent.

MY CHOICE

Yesterday I caught this buck in my neighbors yard, using his antlers to dig the plant out of the snow.  I know, I'm usually complaining about them, but I was at least happy it was happening at their house and not ours.  

Ok, your turn.  Can't wait to see what you've got.

Places To Go, People You Need To See


I know I have mentioned this a million times, but people just don't comment like they used to.  Oh, I know I have a few faithful people that will comment.  And I try to comment on the blogs that I follow.  I read them through my Google Reader, but I will click on the block itself when I want to comment on it.  So don't be telling me it's just too hard.  I want to know you are out there.

I am awarding a few of my favorite bloggers my
Places I Love To Go
award.  Please go check them out, and by darn, comment WHEN you do.  They could really use a kind or humorous word.  

 Grab your awards fellow bloggers, and show it well.  I should throw in some questions so it forces you to answer.  hmmmm grand idea.

She is one of the first bloggers I starting following.  She reads tons of books like me.  I would classify her as a Humorous, Mom, Book promoter blog.  She's got all of you covered.   Check her out.  She cracks me up.

This is a new blog, but not a new blogger.  I love this woman.  She has all sorts of wisdom, and humor, and has a no nonsense way of letting it all hang out.  If you aren't reading her, you are missing out.

When I came upon her blog, I felt like I was reading a long lost sisters blog.  Well except for the bonfires, but she is a lot like me.  And she just became a first time grandma.....  What can be better than that.  Go give her some commenting love.  You won't regret it.

She does give aways, but when she's not doing that she is cracking me up.  She's a diabetic like me, except way skinnier, not to mention way cute.  

She is such a valued follower of I Spy.  I followed her way before we started doing that meme.  She is either tickling my funny bone, or making me think.  

Ok.  hmmmmm, questions for you lucky award winners to answer.  Are you brave enough?

1.     How old were you when you got your first kiss?  Do you remember his/her name?
2.     What is a wild and crazy thing you did with a group of friends?
3.    Do you like Roller Coasters?  If so, what is the funnest one you have ever been on?
4.      Christmas or Thanksgiving?  Why?

Ok, that is all I can think of.  I'm thinking that I might just answer these questions myself.  Don't worry, it will be a post another day.

Please, go check out these bloggers.  I would hang out with each and every one of them if I had the money to do so.   But then, you have seen how wild and crazy I can get, so maybe they would pretend they weren't going to be home.  As if....

PS: 
 If I didn't give you the award, but you would love to have it, because, well you love me and such, and you are just itching to answer those fabulous questions, go ahead.  Grab them and go.  If I see that you have, I will give your blog a shout out on here.  Well, for all the good that will do, because I think I have a ton more followers than I do.  But hey, every little bit helps, right?  Of course right!!!!

Field Trip - Adventures At Pier 1.....

Once again, with my partner in crime in town, we hit our favorite store, Pier 1.   I'm pretty sure that when they see us pull up, they want to hurry and lock the doors.  Oh, to have a money tree, so I could buy some of the stuff that I see.  Lets get on with the ride.  Hand over your permission slips as you load the bus.

First stop on our trip is the Salt and Pepper Shakers.

I Spy - Pole(s)

Photobucket
Are you ready to join in the I Spy movement?  What?  I.....can't......hear......you......, oh there you are.  Lets get our groove on with my awesome co-host Christy with the Maddest of Minds and show what you've got in the way of POLE(S) and SOMETHING OF YOUR CHOICE.   Do it...do it....till your satisfied.....take photo's....  
There are all sorts of poles around.  Sorry, I don't have a stripper pole.  But ummm, if you do, you should link on up.  That would be so freaking cool.   All of my Pole photo's were taken without even having to leave my house.  
POLE(S)
You have the poles that hold up the swing set.

This pole is running between the satellite dish and the receivers.  

The street light pole on our property

Power poles across the way

Off the wall pole.  This is a pole that Mr. Dazee made up, that has "keep away the deer mesh, attached to it.  Those little dots you see are actually running from the pole, to the side of the house.  We had to save some of the flowers from being eaten by Bambi and his clan

MY CHOICE

I am thankful that I live in a State that has beautiful mountains.   They are so huge and majestic.  

Show us what you've got
