WELL YOUR GPS WILL…..

Work better soon….

Last evening shortly after 8pm…looked up at the TV to see this…I knew it was lifting off today but forgot about the time…this Atlas IV rocket carried a new satellite that goes in a block of 12 that run our GPS system…they are replacing / updating them…so says the newsman….and will make the system much more accurate …. just what we need when traveling and geocaching…in the pic below is what it looked like on the TV…when ever there is a launch the local TV stations break in programing and show it…very interesting living on the Space Coast of Florida…

And in this pic …is what it looked like from the back yard…could see it good and hear the roar very well also…if I you look to the right about 1/4 down you can see a tiny white spot…that is the actual rocket…the sun was shining and reflecting of off it…the trail was cool also with the sun reflecting off it also…it does not show up in the pic at all… silver and gold color..I sure wish I had a good camera…these rocket launches are awesome….

And this is what…

I have been working on for the big event in July…my first Great grand child!!! A little girl if you believe the ultra sound…I am making a quilt/blanket for her…here are the blocks …a work in progress as are the bibs I decided to make yesterday…using pink wash clothes…Today I finished everything and have it all pinned ready to sew..I am a little nervous about sewing it together…as it is my own design and not sure how it will go…and also I have not done any sewing for 30 years…that’s a long time ..lol..

And here is a Maggie pic …inspecting this silly looking frog that hopped on her patio….it is one that I made about 15 years ago…use to sell them in my store…this one is in my frog garden here at dads…I get him out of the garden and clean him up ..spray him with sealer once a year…then back he goes…she was not really sure what to make of him…she is so nosey …anything new or different in her world and she hast to investigate it or bark it to death…lol..I had just cleaned him up and he was sitting there getting dry when she discovered him…
