28, Hercules & 15 Wild Turkeys

Another year. Today is my 28th birthday and so far it's a GREAT day. Last night Joe and I tried staying awake until midnight, but were so exhausted that we woke up at 11:59...Joe set his alarm clock so he could be the first to wish me a Happy Birthday. Isn't he such a sweetheart! Well, I think he is. Yeah, it's cheesy, but so am I :0) I didn't think I'd miss being 27 so much until I actually said aloud...I'm 28! Right now, I'm laying in bed while my prince makes me breakfast. I offered to help, but he insisted I relax in bed because I'm the birthday girl.

While I'm relaxing in bed I thought I'd update y'all on my promised post from Tampa, FL. I've searched all over for the cord to my little camera to get the pics downloaded, but can find it nowhere. Nowhere I tell you. There's some power out there that does not want me to post. So, rather than post nothing at all I'm going to post the latest pics I did take with my Rebel. First is of Herc one afternoon. While I was reading a book outside I looked up and noticed my mammoth of a cat making his way up a tree. Check it out for yourself:
There are so many times where I feel bad because I only let my cats outside in the backyard and I feel they can't really be free like cats should. I was so happy when I saw Herc make his way up the tree. YEA HERC!!!

As for the "15 Wild Turkeys" part, a few months back I heard something on our rooftop. I went outside and first saw Herc and Tigris staring up and ready to attack. I couldn't believe it there must have been at least 30 wild turkeys on our rooftop. It was crazy seeing those ugly things fly from house to house. I was a little upset I wasn't able to get a picture, but the other day outside in the front there they were again. This time I only counted 15, but I was able to take pictures.

Hopefully I'll be able to post on my Tampa trip sooner than later. I hope all of y'all are having a happy Valentines Day.

Happy V-day - Valerie Day!!! You are one year closer to being as old as me ;0) Drink an Andrea size glass of wine for me!!!

Look at Herc go! Who would have thought he could get his fat behind so far up there, impressive.

We used to dodge those damned wild turkey's like crazy while driving on the roads around the lakes there, they are soooo ugly!
