Key West





A great vacation complete with the ocean, an awesome place to stay, sight seeing and historical tours, kayaking, good food, time with Carol Ann and the Iguana show at the pool (that I only heard about).

Can't wait

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?

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.

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.
