Here is our sweet Lucy in March of 2011.

She was only 11 months old!

She has been such a joy to us and 

continues to have fun with us!

Have a lovely day!

Thanks Sandee!

ps: I did not make pickles yesterday

as the woman who was bringing them to

me never showed up! Dang!

So I am hoping to get some from another

grower in a few days!  Wish me luck!

Silly Senior Thoughts

- Apparently RSVP’ing to a wedding invitation “Maybe next time,” isn’t

the correct response.

- Don’t irritate old people. The older we get, the less “Life in

prison” is a deterrent.

- Have you ever listened to someone for a minute and thought “Their

cornbread isn't done in the middle.”

- Aliens probably fly by earth and lock their doors.

- “You will hit every cone on the highway before I let you merge in

front of me because you saw that sign 2 miles ago like I did."  

- I asked my wife if I were the only one she had ever been with. She

said yes, all the others were nines and tens.  Give it a minute...

- I really don’t mind getting older, but my body is taking it badly.

- It turns out that being an adult now is mostly just Googling how to do stuff.

- I miss the 90’s when bread was still good for you and no one knew

what kale was.

- Do you ever get up in the morning, look in the mirror and think

“That can’t be accurate.”

- I want to be 14 again and ruin my life differently. I have new ideas.

- As I watch this new generation try to rewrite our history, one thing

I’m sure of....it will be misspelled and have no punctuation.

- I told my wife I wanted to be cremated. She made me an appointment for Tuesday.

- Confuse your doctor by putting on rubber gloves at the same time he does.

- My wife asked me to take her to one of those restaurants where they

make food right in front of you. I took her to Subway. That’s when the

fight started.

- Me:  Sobbing my heart out, “I can’t see you anymore.....I’m not

going to let you hurt me again.”  Gym Trainer: “It was one sit-up. You

did just one sit-up.”

- Picked up a hitchhiker. He asked if I wasn’t afraid, he might be a

serial killer? I told him the odds of two serial killers being in the

same car was extremely  unlikely.  

- I went line dancing last night. OK, it was a roadside sobriety test... Same thing.

Have a very Happy Tuesday!

Yippee!

The bathtub is completed! 

For light and privacy we had a

friend make this stained glass window

for all 3 of our bathroom windows.

Much better than a curtain or Venetian blinds.

First we had granite counters installed.

Then my sweetie Russell tore out the 

fiberglass tub and shower 

and built a Roman Bathtub,

enclosed with glass block, tile   

and included a rain showerhead.

Russell even put in Clear Maple hardwood floors! Deluxe bathroom!

Thanks to Brian for Thankful Thursday!

Here's another very happy

Great Nephew! 

My brothers have the most adorable

children, so it makes sense that 

they would also be having adorable children!

This cutie pie lives in Houston, Texas!

Have a very Happy Tuesday!

We all brought food to share;

more than enough for all!

So good to see everyone again!

Bastille Day, July 14, which is a national holiday in France, 

celebrates the actions of a mob of Frenchmen, 

tired of the rule of their king, who stormed a prison

 to get weapons and free prisoners. 

It marked the start of the French Revolution.

 Vive la France!

Over the weekend Lucy was very sick. Something was

making her vomit for over 24 hours and we could 

not get a vet to see her until early Saturday. We called

our regular vet and many others before we found

one that could see her immediately. 

It was really scary and sad. 

Lucy is fine now because of us finding a vet close by.

We were calling places miles away, before we found

these folks who had me show up at 7am on Saturday

and by 4pm she was going home with us.

Thank goodness for the internet helping us search!

Today she is spry and happy and wanting to be with us

all the time! Rolling over on her back for a tummy rub!

We love Lucy!

Since we moved back up into the Pacific Northwest

I opted in on the website Nextdoor. 

It is very informative and helpful. 

This kitty has come over to our property many

times and yesterday he/she was extremely

skittish and afraid. I did coax the kitty to

have some food which was devoured quickly.

So, I posted on Nextdoor hoping the owner would respond 

or a neighbor would know where the kitty lives.

I think this cat was outside during the illegal fireworks

going on the block not far from us. 

This morning there was no sign of the cat 

and I sure hope it found it's way back home.

 I am so thankful for all our friends and family!

Here is a Buddhist saying that resonates with me:

“Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a mystery,

 and today is a gift, which is why it is called the present.

 What the caterpillar perceives is the end,

 to the butterfly is just the beginning. 

Everything that has a beginning has an ending.

 Make your peace with that and all will be well.”

                                        ~~~~~~

Now then, the one thing I am not thankful for is Google's Blogger.

They keep changing how things look and I guess I will have

to learn all about other blogs such as Word Press. 

Any suggestions? Thanks and have a lovely day!

Big Thompson River

Approaching Estes Park, Colorado

Three of my Great Nephews! 

And they are truly great!

Happy Tuesday! July 6, 2021

Day two in Colorado had my brother and I 

going to his youngest son's home for a BBQ.

Yummy! 

His three children got out their quilts that

I had made for each one years ago!

I should ask other parents to take a photo

of their kids with their quilts- that would

make a fun book! 

Later in the evening we had a gorgeous sunset.

Have a Happy Tuesday!

Last Monday I flew to Denver Colorado

to spend time with my youngest brother 

and his three sons and their families.

It was a busy time and a lot of fun.

Below is a photo of me with 6 of

my brother's Grandchildren. 

The other two got together with us later

in the week. I'll be sharing photos through

this week- enjoy and smile.  

Group photo- such nice children!

And they know how to have fun !!!

Have a great day!
