Newsletters & Azalea"},"content":{"rendered":"

This morning I got up and finished working on my newsletter for the month. It’s about the team that came to help us last week from Arlington, TX. What a blessing they were.<\/p>\n

I went outside to check on my birds and saw something huge fly up from the ground in our back yard.
\n\"t\"
\nOf course I get very excited when I see any really big bird. I figured it would be a sharp shinned hawk. But no! It was a hoot owl!<\/p>\n

You may know that I like to do bird calls. I immediately went into my hoot owl call. He flew straight over to the tree I was standing under. Got my binoculars out to check him out up close. Super cool! He was about 1 1\/2 feet tall!
\n\"o\"<\/p>\n

From time to time I find dove feathers on the ground near my feeders. I’m pretty sure an owl got them. Part of the circle of life.<\/p>\n

It’s beautiful in our back yard!

Our whole family plus Miles and Jason (the young man that Jesse rode up to New Hampshire with) ate out at El Torreros for lunch.
\n\"a\"\"m\"<\/p>\n

Always good to get together with loved ones!<\/p>\n

The guys drove Jason over to Stone Mountain to show him that wonder of nature!
\n\"j\"
\nThen we worked on making copies of the newsletters and getting stamps.<\/p>\n

J and I went back home to get the labels together and Ashley went to Perimeter Mall.
\n\"j\"<\/p>\n

She had an appointment with the tech guys at Apple. She’s been having a hard time updating her blog. Bottom line, looks like Jesse is going to have to set her up with a new software for her blog rather than the stuff that comes with Mac. I’ve used WordPress for over a year now. I like it. Hope Ashley will too.<\/p>\n

We then went to Azalea to help the kids with their homework.<\/p>\n

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot more with the parents. I teach them English and then I translate everything I just taught them into Spanish. Good practice for me. <\/p>\n

This morning I listened to Telemundo for about three hours. Kind of kept drifting back and forth into sleep. I believe you have to get the music of the language into your head. <\/p>\n

We also worked on doing our newsletters. Kids are always great about helping with that!
\n\"a\"<\/p>\n

Ash and J drove back home and I went to Walmart to pick up some supplies for the block party that they’re having at H. Ridge as well as what I’m going to do at Azalea on Saturday.
\n\"c\"
\nGot home a little before 8pm. Glad it’s still light!<\/p>\n

Admin duties now.<\/p>\n

This looked like it was over my house!
\n\"r\"<\/p>\n

Fantastic trees!
