Road Trip

A few Saturday's ago Mema and I went to visit Aunt Nancy ( Mema's Sister) and her family in Cherryville, North Carolina we had a great time My cousin Cathy and her husband Jake came over, we went to Cousin Bruce's house but he wasn't at home. We went to this little hole in the wall diner for lunch. The diner has one of the best burgers called Lotta Burger it is great. There was so much on my plate with the homemade fries and onion rings there is no way I could eat it all. I promise that I will add more to the blog later this week. With the change in Rick's work schedule, I'm have a hard time adjusting so I know that he is. Love Cindy

Morning Coffee With My Buddy

Most mornings I sit out on the screened in porch with my coffee and listen to the birds while watching the sun rise, a few weeks ago I met a new buddy scurring around the vacant lot behind our house.
Her name could be Snowball, or it could be Lightening or it could be Lucky.If you can't tell from the picture my friend is a White Squirrel. I can't get close to her and she will not get close to me because of the sweet puppies that share this home and their job is to protect us. So she crosses my property by way of the powerlines. I have seen two squirrels together, one was smaller than the other and not as surefooted on the powerlines. So I'm assuming that the bigger squirrel has a baby. I have never seen a white squirrel, and I have found out that they are easy targets for hawks, cats & dogs. I guess thats why they stay on the power lines.

Brevard NC has a Festival around Memorial Day for White Squirrels. They say there is a difference in white squirrels and albino squirrels. Albino Squirrels have pink eyes white squirrels have dark eyes. From some of the other pictures I have the squirrel at my house has pink eyes. More updates later & maybe a better picture. Cindy
