Is your seat belt fastened?

What is it with people who drive fancy cars who have completely lost all sense of HOW to drive.

I don't get it! It is me being jealous that I don't drive a fancy car and I just notice it more? Or is it them thinking they are the ALL POWERFUL and don't have to have any regard for others on the road? Is it a little of both? But what makes them so special that they shouldn't have to follow the rules?

I don't know but man, people really need to watch out! Someone could get seriously hurt out there on the road if they aren't paying attention to the dummy behind the wheel of that nice Mercedes Benz....

To all that may read this, drive safely out there......

The Finer things in Life.....

One thing I do love about Worc.?

WINGS.

Oh yes, Wings over Worc., aka "The Hangar," is in Kelly Square and they deliver.

So good. Especially on nights when you get home and no one wants to cook.

Wings, Beer, & Red Sox. Couldn't be better right now.

Hope everyone is having something they love to eat tonight.....

Time for Bed

Just got back from dinner at the In-Laws. London Broil, Mashed Potatoes, Carrots & Peach Pie for dessert. I am so full!

Thunderstorms this afternoon were pretty exciting. Mr. G. got home just in time for them. Thank goodness it held off until after the two baseball games in Worc.


Have you ever checked out the interactive radar on bostonchannel.com? It's really cool. I have become obsessed with weather after this feature became available. I love tracking the storm and finding out exactly which part of the state it's going over. It's crazy.

So it's off to bed. Do I watch the Sox try to beat the Yankees tonight or read my book? It's a toss up between which will make me fall asleep faster....

Nighty Night!

Entry Number One

So I've decided to jump on the blog train and start one of my own. I don't know how often I will write, so we shall see.
I guess I'll start off with the summer so far. First I can't believe it's already the end of July. We have had so much rain this summer I feel like it's going to be over too quickly with not enough time to enjoy it.
June started off with my getting the flowers on our balcony planted. They have really come out nice and full. And since we don't have a yard, the balcony will have to do.





The hanging baskets aren't surviving very well. That's a long story.....let's begin:
When I first put out the hanging baskets, within the first couple days there was a nest in one of them. It really irritated me so I threw it out (horrible, I know). The next day another another nest. Threw that one out too. I really didn't want birds in there because then the flowers wouldn't grow. The following day there was another nest and in addition an egg. GREAT! I can't throw that out. So I left it.
Then a couple days later another egg. We have twins! After this Mr. G and I kept close watch on them. Actually found it quite interesting. We figured out that it was a Mourning Dove that had laid them. We did some research and found out some interesting things about Mourning Dove's.
One of them (I think it was the Dad) would sit on the eggs all day. Usually from 8am-6pm. Then the other one (the Mom) would sit on them the rest of the night. One day I actually saw them switching shifts!

So as time went on, the eggs got bigger. Then they hatched.
The twins got big pretty quickly and soon Mom wasn't even able to sit on them. We saw a few feedings (real gross). And soon they weren't all icky and sticky anymore.

The last day of the birds, I went out there and they were gone. I looked down and they were on the ground! They were out of the nest and hangin' out on the balcony. Mom was nowhere to be found. I literally almost stepped on them. As I watched Mom came back and they managed to fly up on the side rail. Before I knew it they had all flown away. I couldn't believe how quickly these were hatched, grew and then flew away.


The balcony is lonely without them now....
