I went walking....

A mile into my morning walk, I heard a small bahing sound. I turned around and there was a tiny faun. I stopped and it came up and nuzzled my knees. I kept walking and it followed me. As cars would pass, I would stop and it would come and stand by me. I kept thinking it would go into the woods, but it didn't. Three drivers slowed down and said, "Is that a deer?" They all gave me advice and then drove away. As I was getting closer to the end of the wooded area, I called Den. He told me to scare it and its natural instincts would take over. "You don't understand, " I said, "It loves me!!!" But knew he was right. I felt like I was re-living "The Yearling." Then I walked past a house and saw a chihuahua coming down the driveway. Good, I thought, he will scare the faun for me. The dog approached and yapped at me, then turned to the deer. They touched noses, sniffed a little and then the chihuahua walked back down the driveway and the deer followed. Problem solved.

Trip to New Mexico

I had a wonderful time at the Walker family reunion in Farmington, New Mexico. All of my siblings were able to attend and some grandkids came, as well.
Back row is my sister, Shannon, Sean, Kristie, my Dad, Mike and me and my Mom in front.
My niece, Rebecca with her baby Brianna and daughter, Taylor.
Me, Ryan, Kristie, Sean, Mike Rebecca, Dad and Mom.

My nephew, Ryan's kids, Veronica and Ryan. I took this picture because the last time my girls saw them, Veronica was 3 mo. old.

Happy Birthday, Shauna

It's Shauna's birthday. It doesn't seem possible that my little Noni is 29!!! We stopped by to deliver the famous Texas sheet cake.
We have this joke about Den popping his head in for pictures.
