Welcome home

Not so neat the front door entry, but the dog is always is waiting.  
Even on a bad day, he's always glad to see me.  Thank you 'bubby'. 
What it should look like - LOL.

Have you ever............

had one of those days where you just think...................... I coulda woulda shoulda?

This week as been one of those, well no that's not true the last few weeks actually.  Ever wish you 'coulda' taken that day off?   Wished you 'woulda' called that friend for coffee?    Or have you ever just thought you 'shoulda'....................stayed in bed?   



Here's to hoping that your week is going better than mine. 

Wish I 'coulda' head to my ocean to hear the rolling of the waves and the calming of the sea, they soothe me. But no time I am afraid. But may, just maybe I 'shoulda'.

To my readers from the United States

Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day, currently celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, has been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863. Thanksgiving was historically a religious observation to give thanks to God.
The event that Americans commonly call the first Thanksgiving was celebrated to give thanks to God for helping the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony survive their first brutal winter in New England.[2] The first Thanksgiving feast lasted three days providing enough food for 53 pilgrims and 90 Native Americans.[3] The feast consisted of fowl, venison, fish, lobster, clams, berries, fruit, pumpkin, squash, beetroot and turkey.[4]

WOW!!!

Black Rose likes Lamas - and it just happens that Sunday we were on the wrong road and found this fella. 


 The GPS goes by the 'crow flies' and the crow said 8 miles through those trees. He was 'sitting' like this when we stopped for directions. By the time I was heading back to the truck, he was blocking the steps.  So, I walked across and promptly sat down on floor at the side of the people's deck and scooted my bum off and then walked to the truck. The people weren't home, and the Lama nor horses were very helpful.   But then.........................we turned back and went the other way.


The truck looks like a Tonka Toy.




One in the distance.
AWESOME - my jaw is still on the ground.

Black Rose has found a University that offers both of her 'loves'.

Anthropology is devoted to the study of human beings in all of their social and cultural complexity. Anthropologists seek to describe the inner workings of human social groups and to understand how and why societies change over time.  Anthropologists seek to foster an approach that is at once critical and engaged.

Archaeology approaches past human cultures through what they have left behind: material culture or artifacts; ecofacts, including animal bones and plant remains; architectural features and even cultural landscapes, like settlement systems or coastal zones. Bioarchaeologists specialize in the study of human remains.

A few current research projects include excavations of:
* the early 17th-century English colony of Ferryland, south of St. John's
* prehistoric and historic sites in Nova Scotia
* regional sites containing 4500 years of First Nations, Paleoeskimo and Inuit settlement in southern Labrador

She could Major in one and Minor in the other she says!   Maybe she'll join the rank of "A" as in become 'A'nthropologist or "A"rchaeologist.  Of course with us she already does!   Way to go on your AWESOME report!   An over-all grade average of  92.6% - is that possible in your grade level???!  I know it is luv, because you did it!   YOU ROCK GIRL.  We are SO PROUD of you.  No matter what you choose in life, we will always be proud of the lady that you have become.
