What Creeps....


I had to delete my last two posts. Some creep tried to put a virus on there. But my spy wear stopped it. You know, if you don't care
for Rosie O'Donnell, that is your business. But, I do like her, so just
stay off of my Blog. If this keeps up, I will delete this whole blog.

I took this photograph in my backyard with my son's awesome canon and lens. It has been rainy and grey for the past few days. Not good for photography. Ok, that is all. Not much else new. I hope everyone had a nice weekend except
for you G................. whoever you are.

I got a flip video Yay!!!!!!!!!!!


Look what I got for an early birthday present. A flip video. Now I don't have to borrow my sons video cam. And I can take this to London and make mini movies. I am sooooo loving it. And he
got me a case for it, and extra connectors. I have already taken
two movies and my son took one of my dog Tiny.

My son and his wife came over today and clipped Tiny's toenails. He still love them. He is a very forgiving doggie. The sun is out
shining today. But we had rain from about 2am to 5am. It was good for my flower garden.

Here is my utube web site. This is a happy birthday one on it. I am Candy, in front of the ocean. That is Washington Oaks State Park on east coast of Florida, my favorite place to go. And I have my flower garden on there and a squirrel. I will still have to download Tiny to it. My big dog and I got sick off of some chicken we both ate. She is now on prescription food for a few days. I think I am going to become a Vegetarian.

Ok that is all. Over and out. Gonna go play with my new Flip.

Wow, I got a comment.............


Thanks for the comment Britt. You know, I wish you could go with me. At one time, my husband was searching for someone to go on this trip with me. He hates to fly or travel. Then he decided he was going. And I have heard nothing but whine, whine, whine ever since.
Things like, the plane will crash and we will both die. Etc.

We got a pretty good package deal with Virgin Atlantic. The whole
thing, hotel, airfare, insurance for six days is a little over 4,000 dollars. With the awful dollar
exchange rate, that is a good price. It's a shame because I would have liked to buy lots of gifts and souvenirs but probably won't. We rented a car when we flew over eleven years ago. We only saw the portion of Norfolk where our exchange student was getting married. So, we missed the whole
London experience. I know what you mean about seeing London after reading The Winter Rose. But did, you read in the back of the book, how the author walked around some of the poorer neighborhoods of London, and the wharfs. I would be afraid to go there. That would be equivalent to New York slums. One day, get a friend and go on a package deal to London. You
will love it so much. Or, go to see The Lakes, or the Costwolds. I hear those are beautiful area's.
And take a train to Edinbourgh, Scotland. If I only had the money. I love visiting other countries. Cruises just don't quite feel the same. Just stopping at ports and visiting. I want to
get the whole experience.

Today I did grocery shopping. The sun is shining. My flower bed is bursting with buds. I can't
wait until everything blooms. My plants, hollyhocks, stocks, foxglove, canterbury bells, dames rockets look so awesome that a garden journalist wants to come out and take photographs and do a story. It seems I can grow things here in Florida that should not grow here. I will post lots of photographs when they do start blooming. I had to cover things with sheets for four nights now. I am ready for spring to get here. Ok , time for lunch.

Butterflies Everywhere.


I think spring has sprung. I just finished reading Winter Rose
by Jennifer Donnelly. If you love stories about people in England then read her The Tea Rose first and then get this one.

The trip to London is getting closer and closer. I am very worried about Tiny and Girl being alone together in the house for a week. I wanted to hire a pet sitter but my husband does not want to do that.
I wish my son or his wife could just move in here for one week. I don't think I will relax on this trip. My husband said lets just put them in the kennel. But that would be worse for Tiny since he just lost his first owner just five months ago and he was taken to animal control and was in a cage. I would rather keep him at home. I am trying not to think about it. My son and his wife will come over and feed them, and take them out. But I know it will be difficult with the strange hours they work. They have a doggie door at their house. We cannot do that because our cats could get out.

I don't understand the train system in England or their coaches. What we would call a greyhound bus. My periennial flower garden is going crazy with growth. I am sure it will be in full bloom by next month. Hope spring arrives for everyone soon.
