My world is still spinning much like that energizer bunny gymnast. We celebrated a 46th anniversary with hubby buying the roses that smell good but do not last long. That is OK by me. We had a sunset dinner in the next town.
This was followed by the arrival of friends from Florida for two days, and then followed by my son, wife and in-laws staying for two days and we all attended a rock concert, and then we immediately left them for a three day weekend at a freshwater lake with the daughter, her husband and their three little ones to celebrate belatedly hubby's birthday!

This was immediately followed by bringing two of the grands back with us for a week of board games, canoeing, swimming, cooking, working on Scout badges (such as making a Zen garden), watching movies, etc.
Today I get to take a deep breath for about 6 hours after cleaning bedrooms and bathrooms. Hubby is returning two of the grands to their parents and picking up the youngest (5) for our week with him before the start of school. I will return...I will return...I just need a nap.......
Keep doing, it all sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words on my journal.
Now the thought
I love to write
so do I write about this continued journey
or stop...
I would say you should write because of your love of writing and your journey, but only you can actually answer the question.
DeleteNo wonder you need a nap. Great to have time with family and friends though.
ReplyDeleteBetter to wear out than rust. Enjoy the youngest, he's at the age where you might be able to put on an animated movie every afternoon and take a nap on the couch next to him while he watches (and maybe snoozes, too).
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary!! Yes, do take a nap! Your grand daughter's garden is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat's a whole lot of the good kind of busy!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that nap.
ReplyDeleteYou are the real Energizer bunny!
ReplyDeleteInteresting processing technique. I think it works really well on the girl gardening.
ReplyDeleteBusy, busy, busy, but oh so lucky to have all that love around you. Making memories with grandchildren is the best that life gives us.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 46th anniversary. It's a remarkable achievement. And enjoy your grandkids; I'm quite jealous.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. I believe your friend has white knuckles. LOL Your photo enhancements are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI too like the photos. What's the effect you use?
ReplyDeleteLast week was one of those weeks for me too. We had DIL here with grandkids for an evening; a few days later son brought the grandkids back for a few days; followed by a couple to lunch who she is beginning a writing career and looking for tips and he works with hubby; then came a sell day for one of the steers to a guy who kills them according to Islamic traditions and is one of our major customers for our grassfed beef. At that point, I only wanted to go into a hole somewhere although my own interests are far from the book I am starting and more about renting a house on Orcas for a week... :) That won't get the next book written though.
ReplyDeleteWhew! Got a little whiplash reading. You'll have lots of good memories to review over winter. Love the mandala rose. I'll take a rose that smells good over one that lasts long any day.
ReplyDeleteIt's turning out to be quite a summer. Last time I stayed on Orcas I was still kayaking and went with my sister who was housesitting. Heaven on earth.
ReplyDeletePlease explain how you did the photo enhancements, I have not a clue, and would like to try it.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you are having a great time with friends, hubby, and family. Those are the best of days, enjoy them!
Whoof! That was quite the journey. And I also love the photo enhancements, especially granddaughter's. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy 46th! What a whirlwind few weeks. I'd need a nap, too! Love the grasses photo.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Nothing like a little love to go a long way. Bravo to all of you...now grab that nap.
ReplyDeleteOh my!! That is busy! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!
