Ruby Tuesday 2 ! Aug 28, 2012

~~~

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,
Junie

Pink Saturday (for Aug 25, 2012)

~~~




~~~

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??

~~~




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!

These are my baby girls, framed in pink!

Oh, what fun, having two little girls just 16 months apart in age!  :)
 In this picture, Tammy was nearly 2-1/2 and Tina was just past 1 year.

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!!
:)

Mellow Yellow Monday-Aug 13, 2012- country yellows

~~~




~~~
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,
 Junie

Pink Saturday_ Aug 10, 2012-

~~~



~~~

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

~~~

~~~
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.
