It's A Wedding!!!

Tim Smith and Melissa Watson 

are getting married this weekend!!!

So I'm heading south today and will be gone through Monday...

I would pre post for this weekend, but I'm having trouble reconnecting my photos to my 

Lightroom catalogs...

I've been limping along day by day while trying to get the computer back up to it's 

former perfect set up, but it's a slow process!!!  Hopefully, next week I'll be back on track.  

In the meantime...please wish Mel and Tim a lifetime of happiness!!!

It was a good Evening...

ABC Wednesday

"Evening"

Evening at Minaret Vista

"Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life.  The Evening beam

that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray."

Lord Byron

Minaret Vista is the perfect spot for friends to gather 

and enjoy the setting sun...(but don't forget the glass of wine or martini!!!)

A Window into the Past...

Bodie State Park Stamp Mine, Bodie CA

"Until you know that life is interesting - and find it so -

you haven't found your soul."

Geoffrey Fisher

In Flight...

My lovely granddaughter Kieley took this during her visit here 

a few weeks ago...if you look closely, you'll see that the 

seagull just caught a fish!!!

You should have seen the one that got away!!!

"Fishing is much more than fish.  It is the great occasion when we return

to the simplicity of our forefathers."

Herbert Hoover

A Golden Afternoon...

When the granddaughters and I drove around Lake Mary, I was struck by the

 golds and reds in the reflections on the water...

New House

And this is what it looks like today!!!

Have I shown you the back of the house???

And our "backyard"...sans snow!!!

Our yard actually only extends to about the stump...the rest is Forestry land...

We've moved to Paradise!!!

(We'll see if we're still singing the same tune when the snow comes...
we're on the "snowy side of town"!)

It's a Dog Day Afternoon

Sometimes life as a Dog is not all that fun...

Sometimes...for no reason at all...a Dog's people takse them Down to 

a strange place that smells funny, and leaves you for way too long....

(and other people poke and prod you...and then you take a long nap)

But then they come get you and take you home...

Life is good...

 (Even if you're Darned knee still hurts and you have to wear this stupid Darned collar!!!)

Happy ABC Wednesday to you all!!!

This is Our Life...

Since mid June...this has been our life...

Now at least we're under one roof...

I just don't know if I can find the roof...

We've moved!!!

Yay!!!  We've moved!!!  

Most of our "stuff" is under one roof again!!!  We've done a few things 

to make it ours...and this past weekend, we made our final move!!!

Check in on Tuesday to see more!!!

Thanks to you all for your patience and kind (and funny) words lately!

Taking a Breather!!!

Well...the internet is hooked up, but the house is still in move mode...

Boxes everywhere...can't remember what's in what box...

I'm sure you know the drill!!!

Gone Fishin'....

I'm sure I'll be posting by Monday..
