Happy Tuesday! October 8, 2019

  We just got back from spending 5 days
down in the Mt Shasta area of Northern California.
We celebrated a friends wedding and
visited many friends and enjoyed the beautiful
and warm Indian Summer days.
Here are a few random photos from our visit:

The happy couple at their wedding reception 
was held at a local tap house.....



Our friends latest grandbaby....



And their darling Ki-Ki kitty cat....



Who was not the easiest kitten to photograph...
she usually was in constant motion....



Like this young Cairn Terrier Toby!



He did slow down a bit once he
had "wrassled" with Russell for a bit!



Yep....he's tired now!



Mt Shasta as we drove towards our friends
Cave Springs Motel in Dunsmuir.
A great place to stay!
More photos tomorrow!
Have a great Happy Tuesday!

Good grief...going through my photos from last year 
looking for a nice springy shot I came across
this photo I took last year on June 1 when we were
just putting our mountain home on the market!
And now here we are in Vancouver Washington
with warm sunny days in the low 70's!
Mama mia- how our life has changed. We miss our friends
and some things about our life there, BUT we don't miss
plowing snow nor keeping an eye out for wildfires!
We love where we are! And so does Lucy!
 
 
 
Cheers and have a lovely day!
( so much for being Wordless! )

Customer Service at Couch Critics Movies and Games
Mt Shasta, California
 
Crash will help you find just the right movie for
your evening's entertainment!
James Cannon now refers to the Mount Shasta movie
store he started in 2005 as “the last unicorn in the forest.”
The movie business has changed drastically over the years with the rise of Netflix and other streaming services and the closing of businesses such as Blockbuster, but Couch Critics Movies and Games remains one of the last independent movie stores in California.

California Acorn Woodpecker!
Beautiful birds and very talkative!
They are very gregarious and fly together
while looking for acorns or, in this case,
a tasty suet feeder!
Okay....no shadows to be seen anywhere
these days as it has been either snowing
or raining...but that's okay since we
need all the precipitation we can get.
Poor Mt Shasta is almost naked!
It snows and then the wind blows most of it away.
Have a lovely weekend!

Such a splendid and oh so patient a dog
while we humans sit and talk while sipping
a beer and she would rather be out hiking!

We need a lot more snow.
Poor Mt Shasta hardly has had any snow.
Weather forecast for the next 10 days
shows perhaps a few inches of rain.
Yikes.

Will this help sell her car....? 
 
I spotted this car while at the Farmers Market 
last Monday in Mt Shasta.  Couldn't resist it !
My question is are all these treasures glued down or do they slide all over the place when the car is moving?

It's Awww Monday! August 21, 2017

Very Awesome Morning! 
 
 
 
One of my favorite buddies....he's so handsome!

 
After viewing the eclipse with good friends
we toasted the day with Martinelli's Cider
and Lindt's Dark Chocolate!
( I love my shadow hopping into the photo! ) 

 
We viewed the eclipse near Mt Shasta's
emergency helicopter pad with a bonus
viewing of the helicopter taking off!   

 
Have a great week!

Lake Shastina with Mt Shasta in the background....
I took 5 photos and then used an
online program to "stitch" them together
to make this panorama...pretty fun!
Thursday I'll go up to Advanced Photo in Ashland 
and have them print this out on photo paper.
Have a lovely day!

We do love watching the deer....
 
 
 
We have been living here for 5 years and it 
still amazes me that some people take
living amidst this beauty for granted.   
 
 
 
 
Have a lovely weekend and do check
