Daily Ooo's: Tuesday, August 21

*tap tap* Is this thing on?
Good morning and a very happy Tuesday to whoever stop in this morning. Maybe I can bribe you all with some :cof1:I have plenty to share.
I am in that part of summer when everything seems to point to Autumn and I *hate* it. The days are obviously shorter now. My garden is past its peak. School supplies - Halloween decorations!- are all over the stores. It makes me sad. Caitlyn and I were chatting about favorite months while on our walk yesterday. We were rating ours and we decided that the one nice thing about September is that fall cooking is yummy- apple pies, pumpkin flavored things. Other than that--


I got a bunch more things organized for the sale and it looks like the weather is going to cooperate! *knocks wood that it doesn't change*
Today I am off to food shop, then some more time in the attic, bringing some boxes down.

Hugs!!!

Rae!! OMG-- what a fun and fantastic photo!! You look like you could be mother and daughter, not g-ma. I am happy to see her smiling. Thank you for sharing that wonderful moment with us.
How is the fridge/freezer sorting going? One of these days, I need to do that too.

good morning - I am back in NJ. I tried to check in but the internet service was mostly nonexistent. I arrived back at 5am this morning. Waiting for my boys to arrive as we were on different flights. We are all anxious to get our kitty Shadow and Luther home. All I can say is that Alaska is an amazing state. If you can you should go. My sons and sister who had never been were just stunned by the majesty of the scenery and the abundance of wildlife. It was two weeks we will never forget and to spend it with family was the best. We did some excursions as 8 of us but a lot of the time we split up doing excursions that each liked best. I have uploaded my photos and am now waiting to upload my husbands and then we all have to decide where we are going put all of the photos so we can share. I took around 1300 photos but more DIL and her father each took around 3000. I cant wait to get started on my travel album. So quickly here is the list of animals - brown bears (male and mom and cubs), moose (only mothers and kids), grizzly bears (male and mom and cubs), lots of caribou, beaver, sea otters, Stellar sea lions, humpback whales, and orcas. Also saw lots of birds - bald eagles, golden eagles, willow ptarmigan, magpies, boreal chickadee, puffin, lots of gulls and terns, and others I just cant remember LOL. It was seeing these animals in their natural habitat that was so special doing there thing with us just watching.

I will catch up with personal soon. It is good to be back sort of LOL.

Good morning, ladies. I'm popping in for a quick hello. Want to do a bit of work and then head over to VV. Then back to work so I can stay on top of it as we'll head up to the hospital this afternoon to see B.

Chris - took out some old freezer stuff for the garbage. That's one of the reasons I want to organize better, so I can see whats really in there and use it up before its past its prime and needs to be tossed. I hate wasting food when its so expensive these days with most of our stuff being grass-fed, organic, antibiotic free, etc. I didn't get to sort thru anything for our gargage sale. I never seem to find the time...ugh.

Nancy - welcome back!!!! I know your photos are going to be amazing! Can't wait to see them.

Everyone else....hope all is well. I'm getting out of here now as there's lots to do today.

Hello girls,
past few days I'm on autopilot, because here we have some troubles and I'll need time to be concentrate on them, before to can come back for normal talk.
Just quick want to tells you that


Rae, this photo is so sweet! I'm so happy to see your smiles!!! Thanks for sharing it with us!

Nancy, I'm so jealous for all these animals you are saw in their native habitat, I can imagine how awesome is that feeling! Can't wait to see your pages!

Chris, autumn is my favorite season, but I'm surprised it's come so fast. The first yellow leaves started to fall, even here is still very hot and summer. Good luck on the sale!

Love you girls, have a wonderful week!
