The Neighborhood Buzz...Literally

By -
I have been meaning to share this with you but I needed to do a little editing and just found the time today.  It was quite the experience about a week ago.  We got a great lesson on honey bees as a swarm of them landed in our neighbor's tree.  The Bee Keeper was nice enough to wait for me to get home from work, I was about 10 minutes away.  I never thought I would stand calmly in a swarm of bees but in the state they were in it was easy and having someone there that new what was going on helped a lot.   It was very educational.  It is also a very small world as we later learned that the Bee Keeper is our brother-in-law's cousin.   He was super nice, I kinda wished we would have know that when he was here.



Today is also Independence Day.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful 4th of July.  It is really windy here so I don't think we will get to see the show that we normally do.  Oh well, Jim and I celebrating with a good bottle of Piety Flats Wine, artichokes and a BBQed steak, YUM.

Reading and Riding

Chloe has been "reading" for a while.  She has her favorites memorized although it is not always easy to catch the whole story. She also got a bicycle yesterday and she has taken off riding. Today we all rode all the way to the park and back and she did wonderful! At first she has a little trouble with the brakes but it didn't take long before she was riding like a champ. As she says "I'm a good bicycle rider now!"   Hope everyone is having a happy Father's day!

Pictures!!! I finally figured out how to add pictures to my Blog from Windows 8!.  I got a new laptop for my birthday and although I love that it I am no longer scared it is going to start fire, I have a ton more memory and it has a great backlit keyboard, I HATE Windows 8.  Seriously, I don't know how they could make things more difficult by trying to simplify them but congratulations Microsoft you have out done yourself.  I typically don't mind a little change and I think it takes a lot to frustrate me when it comes to technology but I'm seriously considering returning this just because of the operating system. Thanks to Gina, I was finally able to up load some pictures but last night I was ready to chuck the computer out a window. Enough complaining, I thought I would share a couple of my favorite pictures lately.   I don't notice it everyday but sometimes when I look at a picture I feel like I am getting a glimpse of what Chloe will look like in 5 years.  She i
