 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!

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!

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!
