Animal Planet

or life in the real world...

While we were visiting Grandpa Joe, I was watching the birds out the front window.
All of a sudden, I noticed what I thought was a morning dove and a blue jay going at it. Being nosy, Grandpa, Ruth, and I got up and moved to see what was going on.

It was this :

I am still trying to ID the hawk, but it was pretty interesting, yet kind of, um, well, morbid, to watch the battle. However, we watch Animal Planet, and here it was right in front of us...

I know it's Easter not Mother's Day but.......

Mike listens to "Music to Go to the Dump By" on Saturday mornings and introduced me to this song which I must share:



Loved it. Hope you do too!

hello!

Well, I guess it's been a million years since I posted last. I have been working. I went to boston for a super boring seminar with my friend Steve that also works at Second Growth. I have also been playing twister every week with some recovery friends. I had to do CPI training for VV last week, it was tough after like six hours of twister. haha. It's crisis prevention and intervention. Basically how to de-escalate someone who's super angry, and how to physicaly restrain them if they can't verbally de-escalate. Yesterday, I got some of my tattoo on my shoulder done.

I was going to post a picture of it, but I can't seem to find where they uploaded too! haha.

So anyways, that is my life in a nutshell....whats going on for everyone else?

Easter egg hunt

Our church did an Easter Egg Hunt on Palm Sunday. My class hides the eggs, while the younger groups find them. This is Ruth’s last year to hunt. Didn’t it go by fast?

 

 

 

 

HEY FAMILY!

So, I did this whole post and took forever because putting pictures on here and labeling them all is a pain, and when I posted it I realized it was the reading blog, not this one. So oy vay. It's been so long since I posted, I thought I would give a little update. I'm not sure if I've mentioned on here, but I have a second job now, working in the box office at the Washington Performing Arts Society, which sponsors all sorts of shows (mostly music--classical, jazz, etc) at different venues in the city. It's pretty good, though I hate being cooped up in an office all day. The extra paycheck is really nice. Also, I'm sure you all know, I'm living with Christie right now. It's fun, nice to have sister time. The commute is brutal, but it beats paying rent. Anyway, for some fun things-I recently made a trip up to Philadelphia and we went to the Eastern State Penitentiary, the oldest penitentiary in the world, I believe. Not to be confused with prison--apparently they are different things. Pictures!

Watch Tower

Death Row

Al Capone's Cell

It was really cool and old and creepy. I'm hoping to go back sometime and do the ghost tour. OOOOOOO!!!! Scaryyy. Anyhoo, hope to hear from the rest of you soon. LOVE LOVE!

Today IS the day!

How I loved the purple guitar cake.

Christie and Karen gave me a special gift. View it here:

Love, Cindy P and the CT Acorns

Israel

so just pulled out of israel. went on a tour of Jerusalem, saw alot of sites. i will share all pics i have from there, when i come home. but after leaving there, i feel that i should state that i feel like a new man. i know i havent been a real religous guy for the past few years, much to mothers dissapointment, but i feel i am going to try to start over on the whole thing.

First tooth!

I hope I don't get in trouble with Sam but since she can't post very often I thought I would share that Logans first tooth made it's appearance on Saturday March 21st! It's too tiny to get a picture of but we wanted to share. Her little boy is growing up! He had his 6 month appt on Thursday and weighed 19.6 lbs and is over 28 inches long! Starting to sit up on his own and although he isn't crawling, he is certainly moving around on the floor quite a bit. It won't be long!

Cindy's turning 40

Please, if everyone would try to not make plans for June 27, 09,

So I can invite you to Cindy’s “Over the hill” 40^th Birthday party.

It will be here at the house on Saturday, the 27^th at around 1:00 or so.

If everyone can bring something, that would be great.

You can email me for further info or questions.

My email is bigdp1958@snet.net.
