Monday, Catch -up Time Again

Good day to y'all.  I am going to use this afternoon to try and share the month of September happenings.  I will pull up my pics and post one and explain it.  Hopefully I can keep up afterwards. 

Went to Carolina Raptor Center with my neighbor Pat.  Had a really good time.  My camera has a slow speed so this pics are of poor quality.  Most of the birds in cages so that makes it equally hard to get good shots.  Some I just took photos of their photos.
                                      I love turkey vultures
                                  This is an African vulture
                                            Pretty cool
                                             A blurry owl
                                          Another beauty
                                           A fun filled day
                                   Hemingway, Carolina Raptor's new osprey...

                              Photo of Derek and Savannah
Derek came to Carolina Raptor Center from Center for Birds of Prey in Charleston, SC in 1998.  Named after a very special boy, Derek H. who loved raptors and visited the center frequently.

Savannah also came in 1998 from the same center as Derek. She soon paired herself with Derek.  Her First eggs hatched in 2006.


Charlotte came down on Tuesday for Tim's surgery.  Since the surgery was delayed until Friday, she and I took a kayaking trip around Lake Norman on Wednesday.  She had to return home Thursday morning.  We had fun during her short trip.

It was Charlotte's first kayaking.  She did a really good job.
                    Kayaking is now my new sport of choice

                             We all had dinner together at O'Charley's Wednesday evening
                                  Charlotte and Geoff grinning ear to ear
                                       Having good times
Wednesday night at O'Charley's was free pie night.  So Tim and I shared our pies. Mine was pecan and Tim's apple.  They both were soooo yummy.
Charlotte and I sat up talking till midnight.  Little sleep was had by us.  We headed for the Charlotte airport at 4:00 am. Charlotte's flight left at 6:00.  Little sleep is really hard on an old chick like me.  I did it again on Friday night.  I am still playing catch up for some energy.  Mine has gone south!!!!

                          That should pretty much do it. 
                                 Will try hard to keep up.
 
 
Life is Good
God is Love
Have a great day
