Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Today is the Feast Day of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a Holy Day of Obligation, when Catholics and many other Christians all over the world celebrate Christ's taking His Mother, the Virgin Mary, at her death, into Heaven. There are several other instances in scripture when God has taken or assumed people into Heaven upon their death, and not allowed their bodies to go through earthly corruption and decay, like Elias, or Moses.
Catholics all over the world, and especially in Catholic countries, celebrate this day with Mass, processions, cakes!, feasting and gathering together.
Happy Feast Day!

25 Years Ago...
Frank just had his 25th Birthday, and the back of this photo is dated later that year, 12/88! It just doesn't feel like 25 years have gone by...
I'm organizing our photos into new frames and books. Every now and then I come up with 'old' beauties like this, so I'll share them and family can 'save' them, if they want to.

Eagle Training Ground
Bob will try to get a picture of the Eagle that has either been living in our Spring Creek/Arena area, or is hunting there daily. Our neighbor has caught him on camera, and Bob has watched him hunt a few times, mostly he's after moles or prairie mice.
Often a parent Eagle, or Hawk, will train their young ones up high over our property. A couple of days ago Bob and Elmer watched this Eagle swoop down out of the higher trees in the Creek area and try to take a baby deer in his talons. The baby started screaming and the mom, who was a little ways away, ran after the Eagle and stomped at him repeatedly before taking off with the baby. Baby deer are big! He must have been brave or hungry!
Pictures soon we hope....
