As The Eagle Flies...

Joni got several pictures of this young bald eagle before he took off towards the west end of the lake. He sat still for quite a long time but a vehicle came along and that was more than he could stand!  For this page I used Anna's Artsy Layered Template #33.

Deer Family

Joni and I went on a drive while she was here.  She spotted these deer at the west end of the lake.  This is the way we prefer to hunt!   Anna's Fall Sampler #1 was just what I needed to put them on display!   I'm still using the Bamboo tablet and liking it better each day!

Indoor Plants

These pots were brought to me by Joni to keep in the house this winter....they are giving me a lot of pleasure!  This is the first time I've made a layout using a Wacom Bamboo tablet.....I love it!   I had tried to use it before and for some reason it wouldn't work.  I put it away for weeks and just recently decided to give it another chance.....I must have been doing something wrong before because it certainly gave me no problems today!  The kit I used is by Anna Aspnes for a pen scrappers group.

Ed and Nettie Griffith

These are my paternal grandparents;  I lived with them in Burlington, Kansas, from the age of 2 to the age of 16 when I started college in Emporia.   I have no pictures of my maternal grandparents; they lived in Arkansas,  where my brother and I were born.

Winterizing

Warren had a day off so he came to the lake to winterize the big boat and put away the paddle boat.  I did my best to think of other things I could ask him to do while he was here!  You can see by his truck that we had just enough rain to make the gravel roads muddy.  The turtle picture is from Joni...she stopped to take the picture on her way home to Iowa.
