5:45 P.M today

No words needed!

The storm is moving East!

I fear that the picture does not really do justice - it does seem to look better if you click on it to make it bigger. We did not have as much rain as we expected - or at least, that it is the way it seems.

Perfection!

At last, the perfect rug to brighten my floor! I happened upon this today and first thought it would be too expensive - not, the tag read $19.00 - then I thought it was a tad strange, a tad childish and maybe even a tad to much fun. Put my thoughts together and they become perfection. I absolutely love it! AND, surprize of surprizes the computer said it was $14.00 - that absolutely confirmed that it belonged in my home. You all must come see it!

Right picture!

This should have been in the following blog - it sort of indicates how carefully I manage adding pictures.

A visit to Redwood Valley etc.

Shellie and Jeff getting ready to barbeque breakfast - note mirror leaning against the tree! BBQ'ed breakfast - yum!


Mirror successfully hung! Shellie's great find at a garage sale the day before. (It is beautiful)


I truly do not know why I published this unknown family picture - no one I know - just different. (I have decided that I thought I was adding a picture of Julie leading us to her home - on her motor scotter.


Shellie rushing to rescue her brother who didn't know how to get up.

Julie and her Uncle Rich - we had a lovely visit with her on our way heading homeward. Such fun and such a nifty Grandaughter.
And what a grand weekend.

Is not this just the cutest of cutest? Barry is a super Grandpa.

sorry, no picture!

About six o'clock Terry asked me to go hiking in the wetlands with him and my binoculars.  With some reluctance I did agree to delay my dinner for a hike.  So off we went, Terry with a backpack loaded with the equipment he hoped to need for capturing assorted bugs etc.  Unfortunately it was very hot outside (I later learned that it was 92 at seven which only means it was a few degrees hotter at six).  Anyhow, we found a small creek and enjoyed watching some very tiny fish darting hither and yon - totally uncatchable!  We moved on to follow trail through the wilderness - weeds, that is.  He almost caught a bug here and there.  I sort of headed us towards the walkway that would take us home - Terry was not pleased when he realized what was happening but I was too overheated to continue plodding through the weeds in the full sunlight.  Then we were going up the street and somehow stopped to admire a wading pool in a front yard with a little girl having a great time splashing.  Terry walked up closer to the pool and wonder of wonder he had the long evasive joy of a capture - he captured a snake.  Since his last snake has found its home someplace unknown this was joy beyond joy.  The frosting on the snake was that he caught it all by himself - a first!
