Haha I was listening to Steve Miller the other day!

mommyfish - August 27, 2008 - 2:18 AM

I’m not sure which is cuter…Mark or the squirrel. But I must say there’s quite a resemblence between the first and third pictures. LOL

Glad you had a great time at the concert.

Shutterbugd - August 27, 2008 - 3:13 AM

cute pics… won’t show these cute lil guys to my son and DIL though.. these little boogers can wreak havoc in an orchard of almonds… oh my…. won’t tell ya what takes place in an orchard near here! LOL

Steve Miller eh?? my Mark has the boxed set! Steve Miller fan.. LOL now Joe Cocker OTOH… um… EWWWWWWWY!! :p

:wave: Happy BD Old Timer! Welcome to the club.

the other Old timer:cry:

portiajules - August 27, 2008 - 9:24 AM

I love Joe Cocker..he has always been a favorite! Happy Birthday Mark!!!!!:sunny:

@mommyfish -

I’m probably a little nuttier…

lydellphoto - August 27, 2008 - 1:19 PM

@lydellphoto - so many things I could say here but I wont….:love: wouldnt it be funny if it was the squirrel who had the camera taking a picture of us eating our breakfast on the deck….:lol:

@portiajules - He was actually better than Steve Miller in our opinion based on the songs chosen. By the time he got to the good stuff lots of people were leaving or had already left to beat the parking lot rush…lol that’s us old folks dont want to waste a minute. When we were younger the last thing we thought about was the parking lot!!

@Borelfoto - He been an old timer for 3 months now.:rolleyes:

@Shutterbugd - Joe was actually better than Steve that night. Just based on the choices they made on song placement. Both were awesome!!! ASo many memories to help make it an even more interactive evening…:lol:

@mommyfish - Yeah and Mark needs to share his angle of those cute guys from where he was. It took me a while to figure out that he was even down there and that his presence was keeping them away. It took quite a bit of coaxing to get them to come out when he was down there. hence the blueberries the expensive organic blueberries I might add!

slmret - August 27, 2008 - 5:29 PM

Interesting that squirrels would eat blueberries! I love the shot of all of them going after the goddies!

SingingMom - August 28, 2008 - 1:33 PM

Happy birthday to Mark! :goodjob:

christineguthrie - September 5, 2008 - 7:39 PM

Hi Kerri,

Those squirrels are so cute! We don’t have squirrels here in Australia. Hope it cools down for you soon, it’s 10 degrees celsius here in Toowoomba today and just beautiful, with a fresh, bracing westerly wind blowing, I should send you over some of our weather. Happy Birthday Mark. Looks like you two had a great time celebrating.

Christine

Oh Wow… the big 50. I just hit the big 40! I hear that 40 is the new 20, so 50 must be the new 30!!! Happy birthday Mark. xoxoxoxxoxoxox ~ Dawn

A Living Will

Posted in Personal

Last night my husband and I were sitting in the family room, and I said to him “I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machineand fluids from a bottle to keep me alive. That would be no quality of life at all. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.” So...

MJ10554 - August 25, 2008 - 1:37 AM

Did Mark realy pull the plug to your computer and throwed out your wine?

Oh I hope not cause I would miss those beautyful picture’s that you all take.

I’d be so lost with out all that beauty that you guys share with us all.

Hugs Mickie

Shutterbugd - August 25, 2008 - 2:52 AM

heeheeeee you had me going there for a minute!

Borelfoto - August 25, 2008 - 8:43 AM

:goodjob: hey Mark….Thanks for the bottle of wine!

Randy

lydellphoto - August 26, 2008 - 7:05 PM

@Borelfoto - Hehehehe

@Shutterbugd - yeah he had me going there for a moment too! He posted this and told me to go look! My computer is on its last thread. Everytime I try to get on which is why i am having a hard time getting back to ppl is i have to practically hold my computer at a 40 degree angle with the back plug smashed up against the ottoman so the plug stays in this one particular spot. One wrong move and kaput!!! ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to tell you the flex is the point system and the CORE is what I am on. My computer is on the blink and obviously my mind has left town! I will share more about that with you when I can sit normally!

@MJ10554 - No he was just joshing! Thanks for that sweet comment Mickie! No one stands between me and my computer! Except maybe the stupid cord! I am having real issues with at the moment!

@kennyahn - You guys stick together! First the toilet paper and now this!

portiajules - August 26, 2008 - 7:24 PM

LOL..way funny!!

backlightphoto - August 27, 2008 - 1:06 AM

Shutterbugd - August 27, 2008 - 3:08 AM

It’s toasty out here.

robinmichelini - August 22, 2008 - 10:04 PM

Hi Lydell Family. I need to catch up soon with your previous posts/slideshows. I am so glad you posted this because I hit the same dilemna. My friends/family are complaining about my time or lack of. So you will have to share the new business plan or have a seminar about it, Mark . It always seems to be a work flow issue with me and getting more automated with the organization of the photos.

Talk to you soon and take care,

Robin

Shutterbugd - August 23, 2008 - 12:47 AM

glad to hear you are taking some time for yourselves… whew… hot and muggy down here in T-Town… how is it up there?? DIL flies out of SMF tomorrow for Hawaii… meetin up with AirForceBoy you is doing his two week thang with the reserves… poor children! Hawaii!!! what torture! LOL

portiajules - August 23, 2008 - 11:29 AM

Hey you!!! I have missed you but completely understand!!! Love ya, Charlotte

mommyfish - August 23, 2008 - 1:42 PM

Boy, can I relate. I sat down and kept a log of my work hours and they were all over the place. Keeping “8-5″ work hours doesn’t always happen, but aiming for it helps.

We’re in thick fog around here…and I mean the weather, not my brain. hehe

backlightphoto - August 24, 2008 - 1:09 AM

Definitely make some time for yourselves…you deserve it!

Borelfoto - August 25, 2008 - 8:47 AM

:wha: Mark isn’t 50 yet? I thought he was way past fifty…just look at that face! :laugh:

lastoriafoto - August 26, 2008 - 9:58 AM

Yowser… this one hits home big time! Finding the balance isn’t always easy! It’s good you realize where you’re at and make some modifications. I agree with John (backlightphoto)… take some time for yourselves… you deserve it! Sometimes I have to remind myself to be careful what I pray for because He listens and He listens big time! LOL…! I don’t agree with Randy though. Mark you don’t look a day older than me! LOL!!!! xoxoxoxox ~ Dawn

lydellphoto - August 26, 2008 - 7:10 PM

@lastoriafoto - :wave: Oh how I miss you! So happy when I see you have commented! So much going on! But I will save it for when we can sit and chat. My computer is giving me fits! I am barely on! The jack is jacked up so I have to stand on my head at a 40 degree angle with my tongue sticking out or it wont work! Blah!!!!

Love ya!!!

Kerri

lastoriafoto - August 26, 2008 - 10:09 PM

@lydellphoto -

It’s just God giving you hints to slow down! We all get them!!!! Take some time to find yourself again and it will all fall into place! Love you girlie!!!! ~ Dawn
