Thankful Thursday and Feline Friday! August 27, 2020

Lucy was taking a nap and I guess

I rudely awoke her...judging from her expression?

She is the best kitty ever and we love her so much!

We are so thankful to have her in our life.

Have a lovely day!

As you can see I am pairing Thankful Thursday

 and Feline Friday together. 

Not sheer laziness just sheer busyness. 

Thanks Sandee and Brian!

Have a lovely day...everyday!

Thankful Thursday August 20, 2020

I am so thankful for our blogging community.

Meeting such intelligent, interesting and kind

people from all over the world. 

Thank you all!

And special thanks to Brian and Sandee who make

my blogging world very special!

What a pleasant surprise! 

Ms. Purrseidon nominated me for the

Inspiration Blogger Award. 

Many thanks for this !

Here are my answers to her questions:

1. Do you have any advice to the new bloggers?

Write about what interests you, what makes you happy and what makes you laugh.  

2. Do you have any hobbies? 

 Yes. I love to cook, make baby quilts, swimming, reading and making art and taking walks .

3. Do you have any tips for a good life? 

As Auntie Mame said " Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death." I believe in living each day as if it is your last, being kind to all living creatures including humans who sometimes have to be forgiven for their behaviors.  

4. What two things make you happy? 

Living with my best friend/husband and visiting  with our family and friends.

5. What inspires you to write?

I enjoy the communal sharing of ideas, photos, art, jokes, recipes and opinions. 

~~~~~~

Happy Tuesday! August 18, 2020

This is supposed to be a 

hummingbird feeder....?

Has anyone else had this experience?

Perhaps someone close by 

is a beekeeper?

Meanwhile...have a honey of a day!

 Sunrise Friday morning

We made a quick 3 day trip up and back  

to Dunsmuir, California this past weekend.

Visiting good friends, returning things,
  bringing gifts, attending an

art opening and basically having a great time!  

We left at 5am Friday so we could arrive with

most of the day left to play!

Saturday dinner at Cafe Maddalena

Our favorite restaurant!

Toby!

Sunday we visited more friends, some

with four legs and some with only two legs!

Thanks Bill and Ewana for the brewskis and fun visit!

Newt! 

Sister!

And Mister!

Plus we had delicious pizza before heading

home to get ready for our drive home

early Monday morning!

(which means you are reading this while we are on the road!)

Thanks Mike and Tana for the yummy dinner!

Have a great week everybody!

And thanks Sandee for all you do!

Thankful Thursday August 6, 2020

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. 

He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

About 18 months ago we moved from our

mountain top home near Mt Shasta, California

to our townhouse in Vancouver, Washington.

We love it here and we are so thankful

for all our wonderful neighbors! 

Here are a few photos from yesterday's

Happy Birthday party for two of our neighbors!

The weather was perfect, the food was 

scrumptious and we all had such a good time!

Wordless Wednesday August 5, 2020

Hammond Pond panorama.

Enjoy your day!

Happy Tuesday! August 4, 2020

Here's five of my favorite relatives!

Our families have so many wonderful

children! They are all terrific and if

we could get them altogether in one place

we would need a big park to squeeze all of us in!

Just my side of the family adds up to 32 !

From one newborn all the way to me the oldest at 77.

This family of three boys with Mom and Dad

have the best time exploring new places.

Have a lovely day!

Awww Monday! August 3, 2020

How can it already be August?

Time is just flying by....

Here are some photos taken early this morning.

Our two roses keep producing

lovely flowers ....

And they smell so good too!

And here are the crocosmias that we 

planted last year...I just love their color!  

   

Our clematis is still producing

lots of blossoms.... 

And here's the deck that Russell was working

on last week! He finished it in less than a week!

He's amazing! 

Even with the Wuhan flu aka Covid-19

we have had a wonderful summer.

One can still enjoy friends and family

while being careful and taking care. 

Have a lovely day- every day!

Thanks Sandee!
