So hello there and happy fall
I am just finishing up a week of vacation
my errands are complete
I have a banana bread in the oven and getting ready to make some muffins too
last I posted other than the news about Mom was in May
can you believe it! yeah I can
so much has happened and I wanted to throw this one out there
as life has not been all bad over the summer
the weekend before my surgery I finally took the leap and did my gallery wall
I have since changed the mats out from white to a linen colour
and I do like it much better
I like things all in a row so I was not sure how I was going to react to all
the different frames ~ but when all was said and done
I do love it. I added some red as we have a red recliner now
and some other red details in the room so it all works together
Rocky, Tracey, Nancy & Lori |
my bestie turned 50 in June so we gathered the girls
and headed off to a local vineyard
so much fun!
when Tracey turned 50 last year, Rocky and I got her a cuff bracelet that read:
"A good friend knows all your best stories ~ A best friend has lived them with you"
it only seemed fitting that I get one for Rocky for hers
and while I was at it ~ I picked one up for myself as well
and had to get a pic of the 3 of us
the end of June brought another proud Auntie moment
when Katrina graduated from college
I love this little one that has grown into such a beautiful person
she has come such a long way
sorting through things at Mom's apartment over the summer was emotional
but some of the gems I came across were priceless
this is me with my Grampy and my Dad
a party at the cottage and I dare say this 3 generation shot
we were singing like nobody's business
such sweet memories
the junior high gang got together again in July
loads of laughs and catching up as the guys joined us this time around
another fun night
a day at the shore and a visit with one of Trev's Aunts
we sat on the deck and enjoyed the sunshine and the salt air
more beach time was had the long weekend in August
but this time on the Northumberland Strait
we walked and walked the beach at low tide
looking for treasures and splashing through the water
it was down time that was needed and appreciated
Rocky, Tracey, Kim & Lori |
this night was so much fun
we bought the tickets back in June
and the girl's were worried I would not be ready to go out for a night of fun
well they were wrong ~ we danced and sang like it was 1980
to the music of Loverboy
a good time was had by all
we got to the cottage again on Labour Day weekend
it was so nice and full of beautiful sunsets,
bonfires, fireworks and relaxation
date night with this one, this past week
she is a high school senior this year! I can't even think about it.
We went to see Bridget Jones's Baby
so funny!
Trev and I got out on a little road trip as well
it's nice to just jump in the car and go for a little afternoon trip
go somewhere you have never been
top it off with a great cup of coffee and a treat
and still be home for supper.
I have some things on my heart but will save them for another time
much love,
