WE finally got out....

Hi everyone, My Vickie here.
It seems the only time I can
post is when I am at my mothers.
 
So I am taking advantage
of  this "While she is sleeping"
to let you know how we are doing.
 
We are still keeping up with everyone
from the computer at home, but our
Internet service is very slow
and making comments is an almost
impossible thing to do until after
midnight and as much as I love
you all, my bedtime is way before that.
 
I did finally get a chance to take Bert up
into our mountains last night and we had
a wonderful time. 
 
Of course there was swimming.  All the
swimming Bert could handle.  At least
until the moose moved in for a
late afternoon watering.  Then Bert
had to give up his swimming hole.

 
It may not appear so in the picture
above, but this was "one Huge Moose"
probably the biggest one I have seen
this summer and I have seen some big ones.
 
Even the guy in Alaska was not
as big as this one.  Even Bert was
watchful when this one came down
to our lake.   Normally Bert is
pretty un-aware of his surroundings
when he is swimming, but this
guy had us both a little on edge.

My boy showed his golden hue
just as the sun was going by.
And no, this is no where near the
quality of my friend KB's photos
 but it was fun to take.
As the sun disappeared over the mountain
Bert and I took one last look at our
giant, then headed back home.

  4. I never saw a moose for real, only my mom in her "you-look-like-a-dead-moose-jacket". That must be great to meet one. Maybe you can get a new internet-connection via satellite? Have a fabulous Friday dear Bert

  14. We are so happy to see Bert and hear that you both got out for some fun. That moose is one big guy. Mom always remembers the day a big buck came out of the brush just as we were trying to go over the bridge. He was just a couple of feet from us. He was as surprised as we were, and it all happened way too fast for a photo op.

    Happy weekend.
