i've been on

vacation.  Well, on a vacation from here anyway.  I've been busy.  I've been sick.  I've been preoccupied.  Here's one of the things I was preoccupied with.Eric's birthday!  It was last weekend.  He loved his cake.  It had his strat on it.  Cute, huh?  No, I wasn't preoccupied with making the cake, just the planning.

I could go into more detail with how busy I've been but boring you to tears is not my main objective.  Simple boredom I can handle, but not the tears.

Oh, I also decided I'm going to register at the Glassell for the summer semester.   I wanted to do it for spring but I decided this the day before classes started.  Oh well...  I really enjoyed it years ago and I'm sure it will be just as good now.  I'm pretty excited... stoked to be exact.

Now I'm off.  There are beds to be made, laundry to be done, books to be read, pictures to be made and songs to be downloaded.  Have a nice day.

back to

Segovia.  These are the last three I'll post.  The first one is some bone I found on the ground.
This is a little coyote/fox thing we came across during our walk.  Actually, this coyote/fox thing made it the end of our walk.

i guess i've

always loved photographs.  I've been deconstructing old photo albums and dividing the pictures up.  I think it's funny how, in the process of taking them apart, I found a picture of myself going through some of the same albums 30 years ago.
Now it's time for old photo posts.  Lauren's still the victim but I'll go ahead and add Jake too.  Aw, how sweet.  He's cleaning the food off her face.
Here they are with Dodo.  I just wanted to put this up since Lauren's cheesing it up pretty hard.  It looks like Jake probably wanted to be in the picture as much as he would today.
Oh well, I'm off to rummage through more pictures.  Keep your fingers crossed... you could be next!

a couple of

cacti close ups for today.

Now I'm off.  There's housework to be done.

i keep posting

pictures but I guess I should let you know we were in Segovia so Cosme and Eric could hunt with Dad.  There was a lot of this during the day... 
driving back and forth between the hotel and the property's trailer.  Hey!  Eric better keep those eyes on the road!  I guess you can call it a road.  It's more of a gravel path.  Still, have no fear because this isn't his first rodeo.  I think this is probably easier to drive than the massive Jeep he's taken on this route in the past.
The mornings and afternoons were the same with them getting ready and me hanging out in the hotel room.  I did learn how to play hearts on the computer.  woohoo.
This is the walkway at the hotel.
You can see the rv from the hotel room.  
I'll post a few scenic shots tomorrow.

i went for

a walk with my camera while in Segovia.  Here are three pictures for today.

back home

and ready to sleep in my own bed.  I went for a stroll and have more pictures to post but I'm way too tired right now.  I'll start tomorrow.
