We had a Happy Halloween at the library!

A few pics of the fun!

Over the pass and to the woods!

Steve and I traveled to visit Matt, Maddy, and Clara for the weekend. Great grandma Alice came too as well as Great Aunt and Uncle Kathy and Roger. We had a delicious meal of tenderloin, au gratin potatoes, salad and apple and huckleberry pie. Briton and Jenny joined us for dinner too. We had a wonderful time.

Our new addition to the family!

Father's Day 2009 at Joy and Jerry's in Philadelphia. We had such good food and gracious company on a beautiful breezy summer day!

A family of 17 wild turkeys have taken up residence at our hourse and our neighbor's. They love to dig in my flower bed and then lay down and bathe!

Fun bath time for Clara with grandma and mom in her new tub!

My dear Madeline baking in her new kitchen!

Happy fishing time with Steve and Graham

Yes, that is our yard. We have tons of crabgrass but I tried to pick a spot without any! BTW, do you want some white canterbury bells? I remember you said you liked the white and I have a couple plants that I will be digging up in the Fall.

After taking a couple months off I am back to Learning 2.0!

I am on to task 11, a thing about library thing. I just set up an account using my blog name and it was easy and a great way to keep track of my favorite books. I'll stay on this task for awhile as it may be something I will use outside of work. Plus, it will help me review what widgets are and how to use some of the other features. FUN!

A beautiful June day in the yard.

I have been digging crab grass out of my front flower bed for days now and I can see where that weed got its name. I can get very crabby after several hours of pulling the darn things. I am amazed at their roots, they are so sharp they can bore right through other root plants and choke good plants out. I have salvaged a lot of my perennial plants that Maddy and I planted over the years and I have been able to share them with friends and co-workers. I found plants in this bed that were almost dead thanks to this invasive, hard to kill weed. I plan to win this battle!

And one more!

Another....

I want to show off some more prize flowers from M,M,and C! for mom's day..japanese iris and tulips!

Flowers by Matt, Maddy, and Clara! I received this beautiful boquet at my front door yesterday from Pro Flowers. They made my year!

Isn't this cute!!

How about this! Carlie helped me with this image generator and it IS fun. I am going to play around with this a lot.

I looked at most of the rss feeds and liked the news feed icons. Technorati was listed as a favorite but I found it confusing. (I am having fun posting pics on my blog!)

I am back at Learning 2.0 today and wanted to add one more thing before I leave task 7. I realized the other day when trying to troubleshoot the office printer that for years I have been thinking machines/technology is smarter than I am. I had to laugh a little at the absurdity of a machine being smarter than a person( since people created them) and since then, I have been less intimidated by them when they malfunction.

I feel just like this cat after spending 20 minutes trying to "get" the task 9 finding feeds. I looked at a few but didn't know what to do with them so I will try again when I am in a better mood!

Task #7 is to blog about technology...I am amazed at the amount of time one can spend sitting at a computer on the internet with all the things available to do. I am enjoying having a blog and at some point may write one for real. The other thing that amazes me is the speed with which things can be done such as taking a pic, downloading it and sharing it with others. This from one who remembers the little brownie cameras that took a week to get pictures developed.

Hahaha
