Ruby Tuesday 2 ! Aug 28, 2012

~~~

~~see more RT2 posts here~~

On this "Ruby Tuesday 2" day I had a nice outing with my daughter, Tina.

She had bought a couple items at an antique shop and so I went with her to help her unload and set them up at her house.

What she had bought were a small dining table and a wine rack...but they are not RED so I won't show them for this post  ... :)

I did, however, see some neat Ruby Reds at Tina's house...

This rooster sits on top of the wine rack Tina bought! He's so colorful and cheery ~ he makes me smile!!

Her Kitchen clock is quite whimsical also!

And this sign...

Here is a pic of Tina and her grown-up kids, taken at our house in March, 2012. It was Dan's birthday.(#29)

Some ruby touches in this picture, including some of the tattoos on Dan's arm!
 ( Oh, yah...LOTS!!   :)  )

Love,

~~~ Visit Beverly for more Pink Saturday posts~~~

We stopped by to visit with my sister and B-I-L yesterday.

To my delight ~and the delight of the butterflies~ her Zinnias are still blooming!

There were many colors of the flowers,

but for "Pink Saturday,"  I have captured some  in shades of pink!

 Enjoy!

Mellow Yellow Monday-Aug 20, 2012- geese??

~~~

~~see more MYM posts here~~

This  green mama goose and her mellow yellow baby were a birthday gift from Tina, my daughter; on one of my past, recent birthdays!

  They are favorites of mine and they usually  stand on my  sunny window shelf in our living room. This was the day I got them and I see we were admiring them on the table in my kitchen in this picture.

They certainly brighten a room, where ever they are!

Ruby Tuesday 2- Aug 14, 2012

My girls, Tina and Alli,

(my daughter and granddaughter)

 always seem to look for the whimsical side of life and, most times, DO find it!!

 :)

These pictures reflect the fun way they look at life.

~

This is a T-shirt that Tina bought on a recent trip to California, with her daughter, Alli!

 Needless to say, Tina has embarked on a physical fitness program and they continued with that on the trip. They rented bikes one day and toured the city of San Francisco, including riding across the Golden Gate Bridge, a total of about 15 miles.  Tina, also recently, was on a 50 mile back packing hike in the Great Smokey Mountains, over a five day period!

And last week she bought a new bike and is riding  it to work (a 20 minute ride each way) She's an RN !!  :)

I like this T-shirt but I wouldn't want to get THAT thin!!  :)

Alli, too, plans to be a nurse and will graduate next May.

This is Alli's 'Rib Cage' necklace that she recently bought. :) 

Those girls just wanna have fun!!

Love 'em to pieces!!

:)

Yellow is such a happy color and so summery!!

Here are a few country MYM 

scenes around our place!

~~ 

~I've heard this called "Walking Iris," but I'm not sure~

~~Pics BELOW~~

~a colorful caterpillar~

~This little yellow flower is a weed but to me it's beautiful in it's own way~

~We have lots of these small, bright yellow, butterflies in summer~

~The last pic is of me and my youngest daughter, Tina. This is from Oct 2011...

My blouse with the yellow flowers seemed to fit this post!

 I just came across the pic and we both look happy in it-I wanted to use it.

 (It made me happy to see it) 

 I don't often post my grown-up children!!

  (usually, just the "Grands!)  :)

 Have a happy summer day!

Love,

Dan Fogelberg - remembering

 

 Dan Fogelberg

In remembrance of Dan Fogelberg on his birthday...

In the early 70s I was able to meet Dan and get this picture standing beside him. Oh, yes, this was a big thrill for a new and devoted fan!

(...and, as blurred as this photo is, I still

treasure it!)

This was the 2nd of a dozen times I saw him perform over the years...the last time being in his final "Full Circle" tour.

Thank you for the music, Dan!

Always in my heart!

Pink Saturday_ Aug 10, 2012-

~other 'Pink Saturday' posts may be seen here~

This is a PINK water lily from a previous summer. This year I only had the yellow ones bloom and  I missed my pinks...

I'm happy I found this picture. 

(Click on picture to enlarge)

Maybe I'll add some more pinks next year.  The season for their blooms is nearly over for this summer.

I'm not sure which color I like best... but with this picture, I might be coming down on the side of the Pinks!

Friday's Fences~Aug 10, 2012- Suwannee River

~~~

~see more Friday's Fences here~

~~~

This is part of a fence at a park next to the Suwannee River in north Florida. This Park and this river scene is located near a town named "Old Town." 

We stopped here on our return home from visiting relatives in Milton a couple years ago.

Beyond this fence were  steps that led downward to the river and an observation deck!

It was a lovely place to stop for awhile to enjoy the beauty of nature and the river.

The Suwannee River (also spelled Suwanee River) is a major river of southern Georgia and northern Florida in the United States. It is a wild blackwater river, about 246 miles (396 km) long.^[1] The Suwannee River is the site of the prehistoric Suwanee Straits which separated peninsular Florida from the panhandle.

Drake Charles! Aug 9, 2012

Drake Charles~Aug 9, 2012


Looks like he's saying...
"Ginga, no more pictures!!" 

 

Drake and 'L.E. Font!'

 (Posted on Face Book today)

 

 

Da baby boy came to stay with me today. We had lots of fun.

Here he is playing with one of his favorite toys, a musical, blue elephant. Looks like Drake is snuggled down for a nap here but he really wasn't. I just caught him NOT looking at the camera-a rare thing!!

About the elephant..I think he should have a name because everyone needs to know who they are...I was thinking of 'L.E.Font!' I'll have to ask Drake what he thinks of that idea...

Alli also came up for awhile, as she is home at her Mom's house for a couple of days....LOL- No one can stay away from Drakey for very long!!! ;)

Since our  grandson, Drake, came in May and especially since I am keeping him a few days every week, my little Emmy girl seems a little more demanding, at times, of my attention!

Yes, 'Emmy,' you ARE cute too...and still my sweet girl!  :)
