I Spy - Tracks

Photobucket
Guess what, guess what, guess what?   It's time for I Spy.  I can hardly contain my excitement.  
Please join Christy's Mad Mind and myself in our little photo meme.  Any camera is ok.  We give you two prompts.  One is always and forever YOUR CHOICE and the other changes weekly.  This week it is TRACKS.  You can always go traditional or outside of the box.  Me, I'm an outside of the box kind of gal.  Let's get this show on the road, shall we.
TRACKS
We got a ton of snow over the weekend.  You are going to see a photo montage of tracks in the snow.
Dazee's Tracks

Deer scampering out of the yard tracks, the day I opened the door and screamed at them.   I think I scared them more with my sleeping apparel.

Closer up look at the deer tracks.

Dog tracks.  I took this over at the park by our house.  It's funny how all the dog tracks went from tree to tree with a bunch of the tracks surrounding each tree.  This one wasn't too bad.

Human Tracks.  

I'm not sure what this track is.  I think maybe it was big foot, but I haven't heard of any sightings in my area.  You tell me what you think.  It was in my back yard, close to the house.  du-du-du-du-du

Tire Tracks.  

MY CHOICE

I was looking through all my photo's and came across this one.  It was taken a couple of summers ago before the landscaping went in.  The boys just roasting hot dogs and chillin together.

Now it's your turn.  Don't make me TRACK you down and hurt you so you will link up.

Voice Of An Angel

Jenny Matlock

I am so glad that I decided to start doing Jenny Matlocks Saturday Centus again.  It gives those creative juices somewhere to go.  

This week she gave us a picture that we needed to write about.  We can only use up to 100 words and write it in first person.  As in, the little guy in this picture.

Voice Of An Angel


I was running around, minding my own business when I saw her.   She was whispering in Santa’s ear about her wishes for the season. 


It was love at first sight.  Why hadn’t I seen her before?  I scampered 
closer.  No one was the wiser that I was there. 

Then I heard her voice.  It was the voice of an angel. 
“Oh Santa”, she said, “please bring me a special someone that I may spend the rest of my days with”. 

She looked over her shoulder at me.  Our eyes met.  This was going to be the best Christmas ever!

I Spy - Ridiculous

Photobucket
*knock, knock*  Is anybody there?  I see you reading.  Oh yes, with that magic eye of mine.  I know you are just waiting for us to put up the link so you can join in the fun with myself and Christy, who has a very Mad Mind.  
Grab your camera, take some photo's of the prompts we give you and link on up.  I know for a fact that some of you have new camera's.  Yes, a little bird told me so.  Now there is no excuse.  This weeks prompts are RIDICULOUS and YOUR CHOICE.  Believe me, we have all taken those shots of when we are wild and crazy and ridiculous.  Show them off.  It will be fun.
RIDICULOUS
I know I've shown this one before, but there is a method to my madness.  I will usually pull a ridiculous face when I have my picture taken.  That is, if I allow it at all.  I got that fine quality from my mom.
This next one is the madness that I referred to above.  My oldest son cracks me up constantly.  Here he is being a ridiculous nerd for Halloween one year.  See, the nut doesn't fall far from the tree.
I could have posted yet more photo's of the ridiculous amount of road construction going on around here, but, I'm sparing you this week.  You're welcome.
MY CHOICE
Mr. Dazee has been working on the landscaping in our yard for the last three summers.  The other day, yes the day of much joy and shouting for joy, he wheeled the last wheelbarrow full of left over rocks out of the yard.  
Here he is in his "hallelujah" pose

One of these days, I will post photo's of all the finished landscaping.  

Now it's your turn.

David's Life

Jenny Matlock
I haven't participated in this for a super long time.  Probably because I had gone to the dark side.  But now, I'm back, better than ever.   I love that Jenny goes Off On A Tangent for us all to join.
She gives us a prompt, we have to use it in our writing and this week we only have 100 more words we can use.  The prompt will be in red.

As she paced the hospital floor, the only thought that went through her mind, was it just last week that David left for school and never came home?

He was small for being a fourteen year old.  So funny and full of life.  A little different than the other kids.  He had started complaining that people were being mean to him.  She told him to hold his head up, and turn the other cheek.  She wished she had never told him that.


That afternoon she felt in her soul that something awful had happened.  Then the doorbell rang................

I actually drew off of an incident that happened 2 days ago where I live.  You can read about it here.  

Bullying has got to stop.  
Too many lives are being affected because of all the hatred.
