A new lease on life

I started this post on Wednesday and am finally getting around to finishing it tonight (Friday).

I bought some rechargeables for the cameras Monday. Wow, it is great to be able to use my camera for longer than the three seconds left on those dead batteries!

It seems like this week has been really long. Aunt Buttercup has been dragged around the countryside on errands every day this week so far, so it was nice to go out and do something fun outside in the sunshine. We picked up some old bread at the bakery and headed to a couple of parks where I know there are always web-footed birdies. Aunt B seemed to really enjoy feeding the ducks and geese, even though her hands were cold.

I don’t know why, but I love looking at birds. I don’t want to have any in my house. Btdt, bought the Proventil, not doing it again. Anyway, I love looking at birds and it is always gratifying to me to be able to capture decent shots of individual birds.

This one was trying to chase Aunt Buttercup away, but she was not intimidated! 100_6432a

It’s always fun to watch how they interact with each other.

Moving right along …

Peanut Brittle called me Wednesday evening. She wanted to let me know that she raised her F in math to a B! Woo hoo!! Wtg, Peanut!! She was very grateful for all of the help she got, and I told her that we all love her and are willing to help her again if she needs it.

That made my night. :) I hope this lightens her load and helps her stay on top of things in the future.
