August posting...

Mick has moved all of my pictures...somewhere.  He's sleeping right now so I can't ask him where they are.  Sooooooo... in the next few days I'll find them and post some of our motorcycle trip.  In the meantime, Happy August 31st!

He's a keeper!

I married this guy 36 years ago.

He cooks!

He washes my car!

He cuts his beard when I tell him it's too long!

He also:

does laundry

washes dishes

takes out the trash

makes the bed when he's the last one out

vaccuums

walks the dog

built a carport for MY car

helped me make flower beds

helps me find seashells and driftwood

loves me

I win!

Grandchildren...

...the best thing ever.

                                                    These kids make my heart smile always.

Day before easter fun

Luna, Asher and Felix

I had to put this next one in while he's too young to protest.

That look Felix is giving me!  Perfect.

After this he politely asked me to close the door.

What a kid!

PS: Number 8 will surprise us in December.  Boy??? Girl???     ttfn

Squeeeeeeeeeeak...
That's me, just squeaking in under the wire again.  Last month, I really did post before midnight. But blogger must be set an hour or two ahead, so it showed as a May post.

So, what's new here?  Just enjoying our family & trying to stay dry.  In spite of our extremely wet May, I've got flowers blooming: bleeding heart, Icelandic blue poppy, lewisia, columbine.

Aren't they lovely?

. 

This year my poppy plant is mega and promises oodles of blooms.  It was new two years ago, and last year only produced one bloom.  Patience paid off.  I'll post a picture when it's in full bloom.  

My beautiful Luna was in a ballet performance.  Here's a favorite picture.

Mick and I are preparing for a motorcycle trip this summer.  We now have matching bikes (purely by chance).  One is two years newer.  I'm trying to get in some good practice.

Just for fun: a few weeks ago Luna spent the night and wanted us to do each others hair and makeup.  Like a good grandma, I'm game.  So here are the before and after.

Keep in mind that an eight year old did this  :-)

So, there ya go.  Happy spring!

Just under the wire...

I made a new blog an hour ago, and managed to delete most of it.  (Trying to learn this new format).

So, with one hour to go to get my April post done, here's just a few pictures to show my newly updated old bathroom.  Thank you Tim!

Before:

 

                                                                                         After:

I'm happy to have a new pedestal sink!

Will post again soon.

Why we own rubber boots...

For walking across the wetlands...

...to look for cool junk.

I love my rubber boots.

Not a lot to say....

It's February flu weather and the whole family is getting their share. I've had stomach flu twice in the last 3 weeks. It's Mick's turn today.

We've passed the current birthday onslaught: 5 family b-days in 5 weeks. We have a 3 month reprieve till the next onslaught.

I've been popping around in my photos and remembering people and places with a smile. Here's a few for you to see.

We always enjoy our few visitors from down south. Last summer my cousin Tim and his wife Karen passed through on a cruise ship. They're from Oklahoma. (That alone warms my heart).

They're both easygoing and fun and it was great having them here for even just a few hours.

Here's a small totem pole in a neighbor's yard. Too bad it's deteriorating,

but it's sorta cool even in this shape.

Felix being Rudolph. He's such a kick!

Here again are some shots from my window at work.

(I'm not posting them to make anyone jealous of my view all day)!

These were taken on different days this winter.

It's a pretty great view, even in bad weather.

TTFN...
