The Lincoln Zoo in Manitowoc WI

Monday we went to Manitowoc for Jeff's appointment and we went early enough to go to the Zoo there. Here is what we saw. It was tiny but good enough since it was FREEE.. Free is always good.






A Bison.. There were two of them.. They are cool because I didnt get the cage in this one. I got right up to the cage and put the zoom in the whole and took the photo.



Jeff and I. I was wearing my swimsuit. I was hot and it was hot outside.



Doesnt this look like a beautiful spot to take a book or something and sit back and relax for a few hours..

Photo number two of Jeff and I.. Kora is a great photographer.



Big guy here was only like 5 feet from us in the cage and the outside where we were standing. It was pretty cool. Hope yo can see him ok.



I have a photo of an Eagle and something else from inside the Zoo but cant find them right now but here is what we saw as we were leaving. They have hiking trails also and Kora spotted this on our way out.




Jeff got up close to get this one for me. He is agile for being as heavy as he is and quiet... LOL.. I would break to many twigs getting that close.



I love wild life and I love seeing it its own back yard like this precious deer. Then we went to Jeff's appointment and came home. I made some friendship bread and made dinner and then we watched a movie. We also landed on Netflix finally to check it out. There are some movies we cant find at a regular movie store so we decided to give Netflix a try.

I hope you enjoy the photo's and our little journey for the afternoon and I will be back in a few. I am having a light snack and then back to bed for me. I have to drive Jeff to work this morning to have the car today where I can take the girls to there Lessons at the YMCA.. They both love what they are doing. Its good for them..

After 13 Years these are how I feel about my SWEET HUBBY..

These first two songs no one thought we were going to make it and now look what I have after 13 years of my life with a wonderful man. We may have our problems like any couple but these songs hit the right notes for me. Enjoy. Walk down the path of memory lane with me and see how much I mean to him and vise versa.







Last but not least. One more. Here is Nine Inch Nails playing a song we used to go to bed every night listening to. Just curled up next to eachother before children and before anything else big in our lives....

Nine Inch Nails A Warm Place.



I still love this song and how it makes me just go back in memory. There are loads of others out there but these are the ones that hit home the most. Esp with all the problems we had to get to this point in our lives.

To My Hubby if he see's this post anytime in the next few days.. I suppose some of you are wondering why Two Sparrows in a Hurricane..Well we were only 19 when we got together and no kids at the time but it was rough and rocky. Like any relationship.

I am off for a few days doing nothing. I will catch up with you all in the next few days hopefully. Sorry I havent been visiting as often. With work and school its hard. Hopefully things will settle down soon.

My Family

Hey there. Here are some photo's and a small clip I took today. The sunrise was yesterday morning at 5 AM when I walked in the door. It wasnt as pink as it was when I left work but still. Some photo's of the girls and Jeff and I playing on the Teeter Totte with them.. LOL.. Kind of funny. < I like this one because I had just sat down at the park and got this awsome shot of the clouds. It was pretty neat.

I cant get my video to load right now for some reason. Maybe later when I come home I can get it to after work tonight. I will see when I come home at 5:30 or 6:00.

Last but not least here is the video of them on the teeter totter. I also got some more clouds in this enjoy.Wish I had sound for my camera but I dont. Enjoy.. EAA is coming up again at the end of the month. I have taken the whole weekend off. We want to go but Jeff isnt sure if he's getting tickets this year or not. If we go I promise more photo's. If we went the first Saturday of the event they are going to have the world's largest Airplane there. It seats 600 people and has a mini shopping mall in the very bottom of it. I would love to see this. I mean come on shopping while on an air plane.. Could you imagine. What is life when they start putting malls on air planes.. Oh I took my 5th test on Friday and I got another 95%.. Yayyy me.. I am so proud I am holding an A average.

I am Bored

Hi all I know its the 4th of July and I am bored. I have to work tonight but I am used to being able to go downtown with my family and watching the fire works and having fun.. This year it looks like we are staying home for the most part. The girls are edgy and want to get out and I want to also but still its boring.

I have to make something to eat and I should get on that now.But I just wanted to tell you all how bored I am.. LOL.. Hope you all are having a great 4th and for those Canadian friends of mine sorry I missed the 1st of July for you. I totally forgot about it. Take care and I will have a more promising post later. N..

Wow.. Seeing Richie Havens Live...



It was an awsome show but lets start at the beginning.. I slept till 3:3o yesterday afternoon. We got me up and ate something and left right away to find our way to the park where the concert was. It looked like rain. They had a fifty fifty chance and guess what it did half way through the concert. It rained you guessed it.. LOL.. You know if we wouldnt have went it it wouldnt have rained a drop..

Anyway we were sitting there and then told I couldnt take any photo's while he was performing and right before we left to get away from traffic I thought he was done so I walked over and took this awsome photo of him. The manager or what ever she was got pissed off at me. Well we were leaving and I wanted something to show for my trip from Green Bay to Egg Harbor that I actually saw the man in person. Didnt get to talk to him like I wanted to.

He played his songs and at the end he played one of my favorites from the Woostock moive. He played Freedom. You should have heard everyone when he did that one. They were on there feet stomping along with the man. I just cant explain it enough. My explanation doesnt do it justice. Here is the photo I took as we were leaving and hope its clear enough because its the only one I have.



You know I like the late 60's music, early 70 and 80's music better than I like the crap they are coming out with today. I like most of the singers they had on Woodstock. You know what there is one woman that sang on Woodstock I wish I could have asked Mr Havens about last night. I cant find any of her music anywhere. I dont even know what her name is. But she gives me the goosebumps evertime I watch the movie.

Here is a photo of the girls before the concert. You thought you might get away from not seeing my babies.. Ok right... I love showing them off. They are always chipper esp when we are out and about.



You should have seen them. Sure there were other children but mine were the only two that knew who he was from what era.. LOL. We let them watch Woodstock. Sure there is nudity to it but you know what a little isnt going to kill a child. LOL.. Trust me on that one. A little swearing here and there but we also talk to the girls about swearing and how we prefer if they dont use that language right now. I think talking to your child about a movie is the best way for them to learn.

Anyway not related to the show at all is the last but not least famous Miss S. I havent shown her for a while. This was taken a week or so ago. She was cold and curled up next to me and when I got up I through the blanket over her and that is how she stayed until after I got the photo of her. My four legged baby.



She loves sleeping with us girls after Jeff leaves in the morning. I have found her favorite spot when I wake up though. She has found my head is her favorite spot to sleep when she is in the bedroom with us girls. Esp if the girls are trying to pick her up and carry her around. She figures she will scratch me if they try anything with her on my head.. The little shit.. But she is adorable. I took her in for her yearly exam and shots and she is only 9.9 lbs. Not very big at all. But healthy.

Bri goes in for her five year check up today and shots. I am not looking forward to this by myself today. I wish Jeff had today off. Well he has to work for like 7 hours and then comes home. Otherwise they wouldnt get there Holiday pay this year for the 4th..

I am working the 4th of July. Just great. I dont think I would have had to work if I wouldnt have signed my name to this damned paper they had up but the manager wanted someone she could rely on so I did my duty. I have been applying at other places. I need to get my ass in gear and write up a resume.

Well I suppose. I need to go get Jeff's lunch made and then I am off to do other things. I have been up for half and hour and want to stay up for a couple more hours. Then going to try and get some more sleep and then work tonight. Not looking forward to it with Bri having her shots today.

Talk to you all soon. Enjoy the walk through the pix and the concert. We also have a poster of him and a cd.

This is what we saw in person last night.. Sorry one more thing. We also saw a Henry Manx that opened for Richie. I am not sure who the other dude was but know Richie.. Enjoy my friends.

Micheal Jackson's Death..

Hey all. I dont know who likes what music out there but one of my all time favorites has passed on as of Thursday. Micheal Jackson has passed on finally at the age of
50. I cant believe it. I knew he was sick for sometime. But this was a bomb shell basically to read the news reports on what kind of trouble he was in financially. I know I have said about Jeff and I but come on you have that kind of money and you are in that kind of debt.. Yikes..

Anyway some of my favorite songs. I only know two of them personally. I have a whole Vinyl record downstairs. Well I should say Jeff and I do with his Thriller on it and Beat it. those are my all time favorites. He was a good singer and dancer.

I hope he rests in peace now. Well I am off. I get to go see one of the people I have wanted to see for a long long time now on Sunday. I am so excited. I am going to go see Richie Haven in Egg Harbor WI on Sunday. They are having it at a park there and he is putting on the music for free. They paid him to come to Egg Harbor but he is putting the music up for free.

He was at Woodstock. We have the movie so we enjoy some of this music. I love the early 70's stuff. Just somethign about it. I will take photo's I promise. Well I suppose. I need to go find something to feed my family when Jeff comes home here shortly.

I still have a load of clothes to do before I leave also. I need a work shirt for tonight. Then tomorrow and I have Sunday off. LOL. Talk to you all soon.
