Letter S Monday

We are already at Letter S, and Grandma J is so tired of rusty animals and overcooked vegetables that she decided to go with an honored profession. Not that she knows anything about the profession itself, but she knows a whole lot about the professionals.

Do you now what profession Grandma J is talking about?

All four of these great men were Presidents of the United States. Three of them were Surveyors. You guessed it, didn't you? I knew you would.

I worked with surveyors for several years. They climbed mountains, swam oceans and flew into the heavens. Then they woke up and went to work. Actually, they did all of that...well I'm not sure they considered it work, maybe more like a passion.

Any pictures I might have of surveyors, would be more fun and less work, except for one hard worker.......

This is a picture of a picture emailed to me. The original is framed behind glass...too bad it's not clearer...never the less, you can see the dedication in his eye. Here is another view......

Unfortunately, no one could find this one to take a picture for me. I found this picture of a picture that I took in 2001 of the same hard working surveyor .

I do know a surveyor clear across the country in the state of Virginia.

Here is Cool Breeze Musings with his crew, Big Hair Envy.

I can't wait to meet them at the Virginia Blogfest in July. Will you be there?

She Let Me Have It!

Suz over at Day By Day....My Life As A Busy Bee, bestowed an award on me.


It's the One Sweet Blog Award. I can hear your mumbling to yourself, "What was Suz thinking?" Well, I for one think Suz is very intuitive. And I thank her for this honor.

If you've never visited Suz's blog, please do! She's a wife, and a mom with two dogs, a cat or five, and God knows how many tropical pets like gators, iguanas and frogs. She loves her home, car, cell phone and nails. Her bathroom is to die for, or at least it will be when they get all 42 shower heads synchronized to music. Did I mention that Suz is anal loves a clean orderly home?

Well, enough from me, go check out her blog for yourself...and please DO NOT leave any finger prints on her highly polished black bedroom furniture.....

One thing Suz has pointed out to the whole blogging world me, is that I'm too lazy to personally pass on awards. I usually leave it up to you, my reader to come get it if you want it. This time I'm going to pick one recipient who I think is sweet...that's right, just one.

I want to give the One Sweet Blog Award to my friend Cool Breeze over at Cool Breeze Musings. He is fairly new at blogging, and his blog covers a plethora of subjects. Don't ya just love the word plethora?

Go check out his blog and congratulate him on his award. Cool Breeze is married to another cool blogger, Big Hair Envy! Now you have two blogs to check out, if you haven't already.
