I've been wanting to see the deer come down out of the woods and this morning is the first time I've noticed them. Usually they are here 2 at a time, but we saw six of them in the yard this morning.
Before that, I got up this morning to hear the boys talking softly and working the last of the jigsaw puzzle. I let Justin use my camera to take a photo of the puzzle, and while he was at it he took pictures of everything in sight. I got him to take some of the deer.
You can click on a photo to enlarge it. They turned out a little blurry, but he did a good job for a 6 yr old!
I normally never let any kids touch my computer, phone, camera, etc. I know they are familiar with all kinds of tech devices that I don't even know how to use, but as I told him, I'm retired and if something breaks I might not have the money to get it fixed. And besides, I would rather get mad at myself for breaking something than I would a kid. I don't know why I let him use the camera, but I did. His mom had to fool around with it to get the picture on the screen - I use the viewfinder!
I still haven't gone anywhere except to the A&P for a couple of items. Maybe I'll head up towards Hyde Park and the Roosevelts tomorrow or the next day. I have plenty of time and I'm still working off the effects of the travel. I love having the treadmill downstairs.

I have wheels today, and drove a few miles to a nearby market to pick up some fruit and half & half for my coffee. I didn't drive the van yesterday and last night told my son and d-i-l that I was nervous about driving it as it was larger...
- Finished!
I just put the last pieces into the jigsaw puzzle I started on June 14. That is 1000 pieces. I thought I was missing 3 pieces but moved the coffee table a bit and found them on the floor. I'm posting a picture of the finished puzzle,...
- Just Relaxing
I haven't done much of anything the past two days since I opened up that jigsaw puzzle box. I need to go to Target but decided it would be less crowded on Monday, so I'm putting it off until tomorrow. This represents two days of work...
- Quick Update
I don't think my connection will last long enough to do an entire blog post, but just wanted to say I left the motel in Front Royal, VA this morning and soon arrived at Skyline Drive. It is absolutely a beautiful drive, and I've seen deer...
- Recuperation
I have been in recuperation mode since arriving yesterday. What a joyous reunion - those boys are keeping me on my toes. First of all they periodically ask if they can help me bring some more things in from my car, which means they can...
