Picture This!!

Nota, sweet pics. Looks like that little guy had a great time!! I'm sure Dad had a great time showing off all of his lures too.

Lisa, my Dad was a WW2 veteran ( corporal in the Marines) and the surviving spouses can get financial help in a long care living situation if they meet the criteria. My Mom has dementia and cannot live alone anymore. Savings can vanish very quickly in one of these facilities. The paper work is massive and if you don't have the needed documents it can take time and money to get those. I believe each state has their own rules.

All the butterfly pictures are gorgeous and amazing - thanks for sharing!

i am so sorry, i am new to this whole message board, I didnt realize that this was a photo contest, I just thought it was to share nice photos., I did not take the photo of my grandaughter.

Nator… welcome and I second bandwoman's comments. No contest involved here. Cute, cute, cute grandbaby.

Notar, sweet baby photo!!! And love the boy fishing photos too.!!! Welcome and Bring them on. I'm living vicariously through everyones' pixs until I can lift my lens again and take some myself. Probably not until my labor day trip.

I love that this board is still here for all of us even when I got caught up in life and did not post for a year.

Nancy, the center photo is awesome. I'm still waiting for my hummers to show. I could have Dh set up the camera on a tripod for me but they haven't arrived this year.

Thanks Scottie. I am surprised your hummers haven't arrived yet since you are much farther south than I am. I saw one at the beginning of May and guessing it was one from last year because it knew right where to go to look for the feeder but I couldn't put it up until getting back at the end of May from visiting my Mom. I have attended a hummingbird festival where they catch hummingbirds at nature centers and band them. I asked the man if he ever he ever catches the banded birds again and he said yes confirming that they the hummers do return to where they had been the previous season. I find that fascinating. I have three that I think are coming. One is a male but I don't see him often. He seems to have an affair going on with one of the females as they seem to fly around together. They whizzed by my head when I was out weeding one day. I get such a kick out of them. I hope you have some come soon.

NotaR there are many threads within BCO. You can use the search method to find things similar to what you are going through. Have you met with your oncologists to develop a plan of action after your surgery or do they want to see you see you after you have completely healed. Best of luck to you as you move forward.

Lisa, that's beautiful!! I love the reflection.

Very nice!

Lisa, love the swan pic. I just visited "my swans" last week. They have six babies now. I'll have to post some of them. Love that rose. Your windmill pics from Holland? Beautiful.

notarobot, at least you will have a wealth of information for you to figure out your treatment plan. Things seem to be less traumatic after that decision is made💕

btw, I meant to mention last night.. those are some beautiful windmills! and that pink rose is gorgeous! lovely pictures ladies!

Notar, so sorry to hear this. So frustrating. When your care providers drop the ball is upsetting. Once you do have a plan in place and know what you face the uncertainty and that stress will be over and then you can concentrate on what you need to do to get through. The fact you don't even know if they did the oncotype test is unbelievable. Since you are new to this whole thing you may not even know the questions to ask them. They are supposed to be the one making a way for you. You seem like you are handling this well. It seems like a lot of time is passing in between procedures. To think July is coming soon and you started this in Feb. is a lot of waiting. I sure hope that they can get their act together so you know what is going to happen. So sorry for all of this extraneous stuff which makes this more stressful. It will eventually work out and know that will happen and hopefully soon.

Scottie, I hope your hummers come back. I have a window feeder that I have never put up. I had planned on putting it up on my other patio door but I have a cat condo by that door now and I don't want to drive my cat or the hummingbirds crazy. My sister gave me that one as she has one and she has a great view of the hummers coming. Hope it works out and you get great pics. Unfortunately where my feeder is does not allow for good pictures from the inside of the house but it is a great place for the hummers because they feel protected. I hope yours works out. I say they are the cheapest entertainment you could ever have!
