My First Ruby Tuesday Subsmission!

So who's house is this.....


keep scrolling down


I promise


It's really a Ruby Tuesday post!


Honest


I'm telling the truth.


You're gonna see some RED.


Really and truly.







It's John and Kate plus 8's new digs, and here's...Ruby Red Kate - she's kind of scary!

Sorry, but I just had to throw this in.
If he cheated on her, then shame on him. There just isn't any excuse for that...but dang...
...as hateful as Kate is, in the public eye...I can't even begin to imagine what she's like when the cameras aren't rolling!!! He hasn't wanted to do the show for several years now, and I certainly can't blame him for that.
These people can't go to the bathroom, and not have peopling knowing what they did in there!
Was the money really worth it? If they invested wisely they will never have to worry about their finances, but at what price?

I feel sorry for John and Kate,
but I really feel for those poor kids!


Now tell me...Who didn't see this coming?

I love this photo because this is what my family photo's are like! Kid's screaming, squirming, and looking anywhere but at the photographer!

Okay - on to my Ruby Tuesday Shots.

I took these photo's yesterday morning.

This is a supermacro shot of just one of the many flowers in each clump of flowers - on my geraniums in my front yard.

A pair of red shoes - not very exciting, but they are RED.

And another geranium.

I am soooooooooooo excited about finally being able to shoot in macro and supermacro.
Thanks so much to The Wife and Jientje
for their assistance in teaching an old dog some new tricks!

Every Wonder Why?


Every Wonder...

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Why a woman can't put on mascara with her mouth closed?

Why you don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

Why is it that doctors call what they do - a practice?

Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you have to click on start?

Why is the person who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic, called the rush hour?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes...why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

Just Wondering ;-)

Thank you!



Look Who's Home!

I had to leave poor Doofus, Dorcus, and Kudzu, in Florida when I came home after my surgery. They couldn't come on the plane with me...something about them not having their shots up to date:-(

Anyhoo, they arrived special delivery, a while back, but Doofus had sustained an injury - he had a broken tail...OUCH, and Dorcus ( oh the horror) lost another pupil. So Doofus has been in the orthopedic ward at the Ceramics Hospital, and Dorcus has been on the Opthamology wing. Kudzu insisted on staying with them and is slap worn out from running back and forth between their rooms.

But now the happy group is back together, healthy - safe - and sound!

Welcome Home!
