There is wildlife, but the most to see in the main part of park are fowl:hawk, crow, a couple different woodpeckers, smaller birds, etc...Last year we saw an eagle...Can occasionly 'hear' deer...I don't snap good pics of birds, got a groundhog last year that was half way decent...We occasionally walk the trails...but probably, no matter how quiet you walk, don't see much of anything else... I suppose if you get there early, early...and this is what dh says, probably can see the animal kingdom waking up! juanital

Well I'm still smiling, Glenda. I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Parke today and it was a real hoot. (I admit that I did "play" with him a bit.) First of all, I want you to know that I think Parke is a charming young man and a son for a Mom to be proud about. I'd seen him several times over the past month or so as he whizzed past my office and I knew that he looked familiar to me. Today was actually the first chance that I had to stop him and we had a long talk. I thought I recognized him from photos that you posted but decided today that I wanted to confirm it. So...I had a very pleasant break in my day and a visit with a very nice and polite young man. That was a treat for me too and I hope you pass that along to Parke. And honestly Glenda, I thought you 'd mentioned here or either told me at some point that Parke used to post at the KT. In any case, when he kept blushing (Parke blushes!) and asking today how I knew him and you...I did tell him to ask him Mom to explain. So I dont think I divulged any "secrets" and you can breath easy. LOL

Hi Iva Mae, I`ve been planning to dwell on that package, and some other matters, with a bit of embellishment, probably, but not stretching things too much, over on the jokey thread about the jockeys with the tired elastics (that got some folks a bit huffy) a week or so ago. Or ... should we suggest that those folks got their shirt-tails (undershorts) sort of tied into knots? (I`m in a newly opened library that has French (slash) English keyboards, some of the keys have double use, and I managed to get the (E with an accute accent) rather than the question mark, and the (e with an accute accent) rather than the forward slash ... and the computer tech here couldn`t find the key to shift the usage back, so she set one up for me for the question mark ... but not the slash! (The exclamation mark works ... but the apostrophe is on a dual key, as well). Life ... do ... have its problems, right� ? ole joyful

What a lovely lake, and how nice that it's warm enough for shorts. I type that as I wear my hooded sweatshirt and jeans, in the house, mind you! Glenda, thoughts, prayers, and good wishes are being sent to your son and his bride-to-be for a wonderful life to come, and also for sunshine in the morning. Congratulations to all of you.
