Eagles

A couple weeks ago we drove over to Alton, IL to view some of the eagles that make their way down the river this time of year, looking for food. We actually got pretty lucky and were able to spot eagle 8 different times along the "Great River Road". We were told to stay close to where the ferry docks. Apparently the motor of the ferry cause the fish to freak out and gives the eagles a great opportunity to catch some lunch! And sure enough...riding across the river on the ferry, we saw an eagle swoop down for lunch!!!! Very cool. It was cold and misty the day we went so the pics are a little "blue", but we did gt to see some eagle up close.

Project Completed

My wonderful husband helped me finish my project by building shadow boxes to hold the knobs and locks from my Grandma and Grandpa Abt's house! The pics are not great, but the space is small, so here's the finished product.
