Great Blue Herons can look so placid standing motionless watching for potential lunch to appear. However, they can take great exception to an interloper as did one at Lake Keystone in Oklahoma on Sept. 23. Credits: -template (including frames and paint): Artsy Template MultiPack No. 11 by Anna...

Felis, here's my last picture of the Tulsa cat! I'll do something of a nicer one too.

Hard to believe our trip went so quickly and then we were home with October looming. Credits: -background: Dirty & Shabby {Three} by Joyful Heart Designs -leaves, string frame: Dynamic Visions, pack elements by Florju Designs -home word art, bird house, tape: ArtPlay Palette Home by Anna...

Cloudy, but still nice here today. Don't know what's up with the Dr. I chose to be my new primary care. Tomorrow's appt. was canceled and it was in place of one a month ago that was canceled. I have to get a new Dr., as the one I had (briefly) no longer comes to the facility near me. Of course...

I'm off soon for a genealogy group board meeting. Always lots needing thinking and trying to keep the group functioning and lively. I like Trudy's idea of an anti-sadness day! Here it is sunny, warm enough and I'll be seeing friends at the meeting. That sounds good to me. Like Scarlet O'Hara...

I'm always intrigued by the wild horses in this "foster" situation. Credits: -background, twigs, branch, paints: Oscraps Collab Falling for You -mask: ArtTherapy no.2, Blending Mask, Brushes & Stamps by NBK Design -brush: ArtPlay Palette Autumn Romance by Anna Aspnes...

Felis, I love your week's page! Good to see smiling in the rain. Here's my week 38, still have to do 39.

This week was all about our trip, getting ready, getting there, and then enjoying. Credits: -background: 52 Inspirations {2017} no. 10 by Lynn Grieveson Designs -elements: Oscraps Collab Falling for You fonts: Erie Black, Hurry Up, Jane Austen, Corbel

I want to add today's shining sun to everyone. How can the world be like this when there is such beauty and we can share so much love? Later hope to scrap some and hope to fill them with those things. Wishing peace for each of you.

I don't care if it's cool as the sun is brilliant today. Last night I continued with the Bavarian records for DH's family getting further back in time. Today is the last season game of baseball, then we start the playoffs on Thursday. But DH will watch football all day. Chris, things sound...

It was nice to sleep in our own bed again! So we got up late. I think unpacking and catching up is pretty much done. I will admit is was easier to focus while we were away and ignoring many things. But didn't September just begin, like yesterday? What's with tomorrow being October? It'll take...

We're home! But I am tired and cranky and still have unpacking to do. Will try to catch up tomorrow.

We made it to Indiana today and the weather was beautiful. We'll be home tomorrow. While DH drove, I told him an idea for an article about the German research I'm doing related to one I wrote a couple years ago. He suggested I start writing down the ideas and so I did. So great to at least have...

Off and on rain that came with a cold front has brought all sorts of birds to the yard. We've had a great time out watching them, some of the time under cover of the garage. I got the guys to take time to look at some records with the maiden name of a woman who was apparently the "wicked...

It is raining and cooler today, actually sort of nice. Yesterday we were gone all day out birding in Osage County. Not a lot of birds, but a place we love to be. Amazed it hit 94 at home yesterday! Glad I wasn't there. We should be home on Friday when it will be much cooler. Chris, I know...

We're in Oklahoma now and it is still hot, but the A/C indoors is lovely. Wish the cat wasn't so upset with visitors, but she's better than last year, so maybe soon we won't seem like invading monsters. Chris, hope you all decide on TLO's name that makes everyone happy - eventually. The busy...

Still have to be quick as we are packing up to continue on our way. Will arrive in the afternoon and it will be hot again, but maybe cooling off a bit soon. Happy birthday to Cait! Have a good one everybody!

Tonight we are a little west of St. Louis on the way to Oklahoma to visit DH's brother. We had great weather for travel but it was 96 here when we arrived. But with A/C, not bad. Please excuse for no personals, but it's been a long day.
