Can't wait

       My feet are in such need of a salt water/sand pedicure. A week from now I should be walking this beach. I am so ready!                                                                                                                                                                     

Halloween Blizzard

Happy Halloween - 20 years ago

wax your skis

Just came across this old photo. Reminds me that winter is just around the corner. Even though I golfed yesterday, this morning there is frost on my pumkins and you can see your breath. Can snow be far away?

this is maddening

I think I fixed the problem!!!!! Yeah

Before & After

The Canadian Rockies- So Much Fun!!!

Great Vacation

Just had one of the best vacations, stayed at a nice house on the North Shore. Travel on the weekend and then a good mix of work around the house and playing.

Highlights: blueberry picking, loons, fishing, a red fox taking a dump on the side of the road, eating out, flowers, freinds and more.

I will try again

Thank you Mom, you have passed down the love of flowers

July 18th - Best of Show at Northview Manor

Ok, so every time I try to write a new post that includes a photo, I get dumped.???

testing again

Have to share this

Is that a horse in the water?

My mind tends to drift while paddling! I am always serching for wildlife and sometimes I cant get my camera out quick enough and it's gone. This horse didnt seem frightened at all by my sleek yellow kayak.

Do YOU see it?

A July Day

Make me promise there will be no more yard sales unless we move - they are too much work. I love Day Lilies!

A great 4th of July weekend in Minneapolis, Twins game and family reunion.
It's really not the Parish curse that the Twins lost
great to see everyone
and a wonderful time with Marie & Brandon on Sunday.

Walked more, shopped less = a great weekend.

The unvailing

We have a kitchen! A mini home makeover with the counters and sink installed while on vacation was great fun to come home to. I love it - now the trick is to remember where things are.

Sring

New boots to cut pussy willows and walk in the deer poop. I am so happy!

More project

We have walls >>>>>>>

This was last week - could there be anymore trucks in the driveway? Yes, if the driveway were bigger - there were three vehicles sitting on the road and the truck to pick up the full dumpster was waiting to come in. Lunch time was very interesting.

This week has been slower but the cabinets are in Duluth!!!!!

Progress

And my new kitchen >>>>>>

Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Marie

Enjoy your day!

Love Mom & Dad

First Day

You've come a long way.

Wall Hanging

Bathroom wall hanging - just getting around to posting it.

Yes, the drawer no longer is functional - oh well it will be history soon. The dumpster is arriving tomorrow.
