God's Country

I recently got a job as a night auditor at a local Amish Country Inn. I work from 10:30 PM until 7:00 AM. You would think that at 7:00 AM I would need toothpicks to hold my eyes open during the drive home, but the glory of God's creation is so evident at 7:00 AM that I just had to stop by NewPointe's parking lot to take these photos. They don't do the beauty justice.

When I accepted this job, I was just looking forward to some extra income. God, your so great to give me this extra bonus on top of everything else.

Hunting for the Local Eagles Nest

My Mom and I went looking for a local eagles nest. We didn't find it, but we had a good time.

Turbo Is Not a Car Part

Chippy (we call him that) the chipmunk has taken to scratching on the door when he wants some cracker crumbs. Our cat, Turbo, has begun to look forward to his visits. He stares him down while the chipmunk sits defiantly and stuffs his cheeks with crackers.

Animals are so human sometimes. Turbo likes to get combed daily while he eats. If I don’t take it upon myself to do so, he struts and dances and meows under my feet until I do it. The other day I followed him to his dish and sat down to comb him. I did so for several minutes. I thought he was sufficiently combed. Having other stuff to do, I got up and started walking up the stairs. Apparently he felt differently. In a huff, he came after me up the stairs swiping at my legs with his clawless paws. Then he ran back down the stairs and resumed eating. If it weren’t so funny, I would have been offended.
