Two posts in less than an hour!!! SHOCK! lol

So after I posted the last entry, I heard some noises outside and looked out the window.  Much to my surprise, I see a guy out there with a gun!  I grabbed my camera to get a picture, but never could.  I saw him go over to talk to our neighbor, so I went over there to see what was going on.  There was a deer with a broken leg and they called animal control, who came over to take care of it.  He tranquilized it and took it away.  Soon after, this is what showed up in their back yard:

Apparently it was around her this morning, before they realized she had a broken leg.  I was wishing I had my other lens for the camera, but I cropped it and it looks OK.  We always have a bunch of deer around here, but it's not often I've see such a big one.  (And all the deer in TX look smaller than the ones in Nebraska.)

Anyway, that was my excitement for the afternoon!! lol

My first public blog entry (From 7/24/08)

Since this is my first public blog entry, let me give a little history - I was born and raised on a small farm in Nebraska. Lived in Nebraska until 1998, when we moved our new family to Texas. It's hard to believe my life so far can be summed up in two sentences, but a lot was left out. The highlights that were missed were: I am the proud mother of four daughters (two are step-daughters, but I love them like they are my own, so I call them all my daughters) and the very proud grandmother of three (almost four, our next granddaughter is due any day). I am married to my "Mr. Wonderful", who I met in 1997 and married in 1998. So this year we celebrated our TEN year anniversary. (Not bad considering this is the third marriage for each of us.) This is our wedding picture.
We LOVE the Texas weather, but do miss all of our family that is still there. Holidays are not the same when you are far from family, but it does make when you see them a little more special.
Here is a view out of our kitchen window - we have lots of deer in our neighborhood.
