Happy Birthday Sharon!

Happy Birthday to my dear sister...Sharon! You have been gone way too long, but I miss you every day. I miss the sister talks, all the good advice, seeing your beauty and experiencing your warm heart! Birthday memories of the past are streaming through my mind.

Over the weekend we went with Zona and Andy to Silver City, ID. This is the back side of the valley where Silver City is. Note the mining.


Beautiful old buildings.

4th of July

These are always loaded backwards! We were on our way home from Calli's and stopped in LaGrande for pizza. Heading out.


Entering La Grande from Ladd Canyon. Beautiful day!

The 4th of July started out with beautiful color in my garden. Loved this butterfly. When back from Calli's, went to Uncle Bob's and Aunt Shirley's house to watch fireworks. We had to walk across the street and look toward McKay Park, but we could see them very well.

Yesteray Earl helped Uncle Bob add on to his shed. It is quite a job and I am glad that Earl was able to help out.

My morning pix of the day...

The poppies are doing their thing.

Alliums are doing great.

Love the lilies.


Bee is happy.



Carpet flowers love the sun.

Tucker and Missi think the lounger is just for them!

Enjoy your day! It looks like another GREAT one!

Today Megan helped me clean out my shed and we found this Halloween costume that Tucker had. Well, we decided to see how it looked on Missi. She wasn't impressed! She was a good sport though...it only stayed on long enough to get this photo. Thanks Missi!

Picture(s) of the day...

Renee and Melisa at Scrapbooking Class. Melisa had to leave early and Renee got to teach the class.


This teaching thing isn't too bad!


The look of "shock" when finding out what is to be taught!

Thanks Melisa for making the classes possible. We appreciate your willingness to share your talents and keep us up on scrapbooking! We are also wishing you the best as you recover from surgery! See you next month!
