Bits and Bobs in No Order

Bob 1:  Currently getting ready for a two-week trip to Colorado and Wyoming. Hubby bid on a fly fishing day at a charitable auction and "won." My family lives in Colorado, so we will be spending some good family time.

Bit 1:  Was that not the best Women's World Cup series ever?  Even the losing teams played really well and 5 foot 11 inches Sara van Veenendaal was marvelous.  

Bob 2:  Taking my second all-day meadow field trip tomorrow.  So looking forward to the heat, humidity, and ticks.  Photos to follow in the distant future.


Bit 2:  Binge watching he seven seasons of The Closer while paying bills and folding laundry.  Had forgotten how much I enjoyed it years ago.

Bob 3:  Still working on learning my camera.  It is a challenge, but I keep telling myself that I am supposed to be encouraging challenges at my age.  (Newer photos on my other Blog.)

Bit 3:  I have lost most of my parsley and since we seem to have kept the rabbit outside the fence, thus, this has to be an opossum?  Did you know that its ancestors go back 65 million years?

Bob 4:  Upon our return from big sky country, we have two days of company, and after that, we have a dog visiting for two weeks.

Bit 4:  Hubby is in fine health once again!  We both hope we can endure the higher altitudes while trying to keep up with my slightly younger brother who is a runner and his wife who is a water aerobics instructor!

Wishing you balance in your life as the summer moves upon us like a wet blanket.

  1. I loved the vacations my late husband and I took out west. In fact I just a couple of days ago pulled out some albums of time in Wyoming and Montana. Now I will have to find Colorado trips. Nostalgia.
    Glad to hear your hubby recovered nicely. Enjoy that trip!

    The Bit 4 makes me smile. Th others are good, but that one is scary challenging in a fun way.

  4. I so enjoyed your bits and bobs. Have a fun time in Colorado. I lived there for a long time but don't miss it all that much any more. :-)

  5. Colorado and Wyoming should be lovely, and on the elevation, just take it slow the first couple of days. I think the real problem with high elevations is mostly for those with high bp.

  7. Have a great time. We tried spending a day or so at a lower elevation to acclimate and that seemed to work.

  8. Fly-fishing! Something I had thought I'd love to try after retirement. DH isn't interested. Do you fly-fish too?
    Continue working with your camera. Your pictures are wonderful. And enjoy your trip!

    1. I took an online course and a Nat Geo guy recommended this for travel so that you do not have to carry a bunch of lenses. It is not as nice as my wide angle lens, but much nicer than my telephoto. I am becoming more lenient In what I spend as I have saved and saved for years and now feel it is my time to splurge a little. Years ago I had only three outfits for church because I did not work and felt fancy clothes were a luxury.

  12. You’re keeping up to date mentally and physically; is there anything better in the latter years? Enjoy it all to the utmost while you can.
