I started taking a movie and right on que he walked right in front of me. There is no zoom in the movie he walked about 5 feet in front of me. I was a little worried but obviously not enough to get up. When he was right in front of me I was looking at him and didn't notice the camera was too high. It is always humbling to remember we live so close to wildlife. I'm also glad it wasn't walking on the trail behind me. If it decided I was a threat and took the offensive it would win.Monday, May 18, 2009
Wild animal encounter
Sounds exciting? Well not really but definately out of the normal. On Saturday I hiked up to the Y. I was sitting on the lower seriff of the Y because there were a lot of people there and I wanted them behind me. 2 girls arrived and someone asked them if they had led the ram all the way up the trail. I looked over and there a few feet back on the trail was a ram.

Little Girls on Loan
I don't have my own daughters so I have to borrow others. My friend Kat is a good sport to let me help with her two daughters. I tend Abbey on Wednesday mornings and occassionally I'll do something with her hair. Two weeks ago she asked Kat to put her hair in pigtails before coming to my house saying she wanted the pigtails in for me. (this is significant because she NEVER wants Kat to do anything with her hair)
I was very pleased. I put each pigtail in a curler and here she is!
A couple times a year I beg Kat to let me 'rag' their hair on Saturday night for church the next day. It was what I wanted to do for my birthday so they came back over that night and we had fun making the girls into mop-tops.
Sorry I don't have any after pictures. They came by to show me but I forgot to take a picture. Take my word they were so adorable.

Birthday Cake!
I made Keri's "Darn Good Chocolate Cake" and had the Nelson and Seager families over for cake and ice cream Saturday night for my birthday. Nick was very animated with his approval of the treat.
Over all it was a super birthday. The Wille's took me to the Old Spagetti Factory for dinner, on Sunday Leona surprised me with a lavendar cake and the Halls came for a visit and totally surprised me with the best gift ever!! Thanks to all who celebrated with me and for all the well wishes!
