My dad and brother were here visiting this week…I really hated to see them leave this morning but we had a great visit. The weather cooperated so we went Eagle watching (they winter in our area) and fortunately we found a few…most were flying overhead but we were lucky to spot this momma and her baby. I was so glad we found one that was perched so we could take pictures….my brother was thrilled…he had not seen them in the wild before. We watched them for probably 1/2 hour and they never left this spot…the only thing momma or maybe poppa moved was his/her head.
The eagles were perched pretty far away from where we were parked but
I am pretty pleased with how well the pictures came out.

Family
What is it about a death that brings out the worst in a family!
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, the author of “On Death and Dying”, once said, "When you look back at the anguish, suffering, and traumas in your life, you'll see that these are the periods of biggest growth. After a loss that brings you dreadfully painful moments, you are a different man, a different woman. Many years later, you will be able to look back and see the positive things--togetherness in your family, faith or whatever -- that came out of your pain."
Boy I hope she’s right.

Happy Birthday
….to me.
It’s not a very happy day because I don’t have Jim with me to celebrate. It’s been a month already since he passed away and everyone keeps telling me it will get easier, but I wonder.
I have made the decision to move back to Indiana where my family is. Jim and I had discussed this many times and he thought that’s where I needed to be if something happened to him. I want to move back home and it sounds easy enough until I stop to consider I have a machine shop, a farm, 4-wheelers, a truck, a camper, a tractor, and a multitude of miscellaneous items to sell before that can happen.
On the positive side, I have someone who is interested in the property. He is also a machinist and loves the set-up for both the house and the machine shop…he may even want to buy the farm equipment.
Have a great weekend everyone!
