Orcas Blogging

Today, while reading a friend's Blog, I was looking at picture of her daughter preparing her fishing rod to go fishing on a nearby lake. I happened to notice the towel on the back of her chair......covered with Orcas.

Orca E-mail

I was going through my Inbox tonight and discovered this e-mail from the National Wildlife Magazine sent on October 4. Isn't it fascinating how Orcas keep entering my family's lives like this?

Lego Orcas

Ok, so my sons are playing Lego Soccer on PS2....and on the screen pops up......a Lego Orca. I just happen to look up as the Orca is swimming happily across the screen. Coincidence?

Orcas Jump in New Mexico?

Ok, now this was really an odd thing to see, but yet, it spoke to me, as if this had been planted right there for me to see that morning, as an affirmation that our dream will soon come true?
Of all of the jumpers to be set up in New Mexico, we'd expect dinosaurs, roadrunners, coyotes, horses, or cartoon characters.....but an underwater sea scene jumper with large ORCAS (Twins!) leaping on the top of it???

No way!

Kind of blew us away seeing this at Home Depot this morning. We had stopped by to do the Kids Workshop, but Home Depot also had hot dogs/hamburgers and drinks And the Rio Rancho Fire and Emergency Dept had their trucks and crime dogs set up to show off. It was quite festive.
And so interesting to see the Orcas in this setting, too.

Something mysterious happened a little while later. After we left to take the boys to their baseball game, Jenna and I stopped back to see if they were still having the food and jumper, because we didn't have much time to stay before the boys' game to eat or jump.

Well, they had already packed away the food things, and.......this is so strange.........in the place of the Orca jumper was a Spongebob jumper instead!!!
What happened to the Orca jumper?? Did it malfunction? Did they only rent it for an hour?

Or was it placed in the parking lot of Home Depot just for our benefit....to send us a small message that soon our ordeal would be over and our Laughing Orca Farm would become a reality??

All I know for sure, is we have been shown so many 'coincidences' that all come back to our family's situation, dreams, desires, and hopes.
I am excited and also cautious to see what happens next.

Stay Tuned.......

Yes, we have Orcas in the Desert!

This was in front of a beautiful tile art display outside of Explora Science Museum. We've noticed it on many occasions, but now it has much more meaning to us......

Why Laughing Orca Ranch

One day, when my clever daughter was about 3 years old, she told me that she wanted an Orca Horse to ride and take care of. She has always loved Orcas and dolphins, but what she really meant was that she wanted a black and white horse with markings similar to an Orca. Makes sense to me!
