plans for our trip to NY

Below:

Yesterday Tina and Alli spent some time working on our travel plans for our trip to NY in November! Our hotel will be within 2-3 blocks of the show we're going to at Carnegie Hall! ( LOL-and that will probably be our shortest walk of all our time there!!)

   I'm in good hands!

Poem: "On a Hillside, by a River"

  (from my FB page)

June Kellum

 

‎~Remembering a visit with my sister~

On a Hillside, By a River
~

 
On a hillside by a river
we touch hands, me and my sis.

Reminiscing, sharing memories
of our mom, our dad, our kids

Remembering times that we have shared
and some we haven’t known together...

Filling in the empty spaces
with my sister- nothing better.

We give praise for all God’s beauty
as we gaze upon this scene

Hide our sorrows-count our blessings
for all the joys this day will bring.

~Flowers for Mom~

Today my sis and I took  some yellow flowers out for Mom!

You can see on the marker that she's been gone now for a long time, but Joy and I agree that some days it still seems so recent...that day in January, 2003 when she had to leave us!

I can close my eyes and let my 'Mom' memories come and it's almost like having her here with me again!

I'm glad I can still feel her here with me!

  I hope it never ends.

A plan!

NYC

(See video below)

OK-My girls (daughter and granddaughter) have made me a proposition! They are going to NYC over Thanksgiving and they want me to go with them...Jason Mraz is playing Carnegie Hall the day after Thanksgiving and of course there's the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade!! The plan is to fly early on Wednesday and return late Saturday. That will give us a little sightseeing time around the city! Sounds like a plan, ehh? Am I up to it? (If I commit, I will HAVE to be!)

    Skye Nightingale Robertson That sounds fabulous, Junie!! I think you should say YES!! You'd more likely regret NOT going than going! :)

    June Kellum Well, I have said 'yes!' Tina has to get the tickets soon, so I had to decide ( tickets for the show) It's just that it's hard to plan ahead so far- not knowing what changes might take place in the meantime! Hope I can get to feeling better between now and Nov-lol- if not I'll just have to FAKE IT! (Tina and Alli are good at planning trips so I'm in good hands! haha)

Shadow Shot Sunday~ July 24, 2011

~~~

~go here to find more SSS posts~

~

Yesterday my husband and I went out for awhile and ended up at our  down town square farmer's  market. Our granddaughter, Alli, and her pup, Cooper went along with us! 

There were a lot of people out enjoying the day-in spite of the heat! Lots of vendors were set up with farm fresh produce...lots of plants too,  and other garden related items and crafts!

~Some  shadow pics of our outing~

The square has several big trees, providing lots of shady spots.

I got pictures of the crowds and us and Cooper making friends...also shots of a couple of the Art Horses that have their home on our town square!

Love,
Junie

Camera Critters-July 23, 2011

Does anyone know the name of this guy?

I've seen these critters often around here , and I'm sure they are some type of 'ant' or a relative... but I don't know their name. They are quite colorful and showy but I don't want to get too close to them!

One other fact about them is that I have never seen more than one of these 'ants' at any given time!

(all other ants I've seen have lots of 'friends' with them!)

:) ...So that's kind of intriguing to me!  I need to find out about these 'ants' or whatever they may be!

This is my cat, 'The General,' posing by the concrete ball topper where I recently photographed the above critter!

Happy Critter Watching!

Ruby Tuesday~ 7-19-11

This is a picture our grandsons had painted and gave to their grand dad on Father's Day!

This is a quote from the book, 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,' a true murder mystery;

(...but  oh, so  much more...)  written by John Berendt and set in  Savannah, Ga. This book reads like fiction and the real life characters are more colorful and outlandish than those even the most creative of writers, using only their imaginations, could come up with!

This quote is attributed to one of the characters in the book, the poet, Conrad Aiken!

After reading that book my husband told all the family that this is what he wants on his 'Headstone' when he goes...

Our boys had a friend paint this picture for Charles as a surprise...LOL-He loved it!!

 

Maybe this will be enough to satisfy... :)

because I really don't want that on his stone, as I will be sharing the other side of it...I'd rather believe  that our destination'IS' known!

:)

Love,

Junie

Last Christmas I got this set of 4 Beatles  tiles from my granddaughter, Alli!

I plan to frame them all together and hang them in my music corner!

Meanwhile, I've grouped them together for my Mellow Yellow Monday post!

Lots of cheery yellows here!
