Ruby Tuesday 2


~see more RT2 posts here~

 ~~~

 My Poinsettias finally got zapped a couple nights ago from freezing temps! :( Oh! But they were beautiful for a much longer time than usual this year, so I'm happy! Also, the Azaleas that were bloomed out were killed...although there may be more blooms to come! (but probably not)

For me-I've had enough of this winter thing. We've had just enough cold to make thing look drab and ugly and brown! I'm ready to get things cleaned up-clipped back and green and growing again!

Here are some before and after pics of the Poinsettias. Happy to say my Geranium and Red Bud blooms were not touched at all by the freeze! :)

These are some pictures we made on a trip to visit our  first 2 grandsons and their parents in January,1986. They were living in California, stationed at Fort Ord near Monterey!

These pics were taken near Lake Tahoe!  What a fun day with those little boys and the SNOW!!

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,

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!!

:)

These are more pics from my girls' trip to California.

 I had posted  these blooms before 

(though NOT for Ruby Tues. 2)

 but didn't know what they were. Now I see the name is in another picture. 

 I love the color of these blooms of soft pink, accented with the deep red centers! 

Surprisingly too,

 (to me, anyway)

is that they grow on this cedar-like tree!

The Crepe Myrtles are in full bloom here now...and while out taking pictures of them I noticed (probably for the 1st.time) that these clumps of puffy and frilly blooms each have a touch of yellow at the centers! Here are the white ones and a dark pink one. We have a few other colors too!


The other potted flowers shown are a 'Dancing Lady Orchid,' and an annual called 'Kalanchoe.'
