Singlehandedly

It's Sunday afternoon and I am sitting here with my to do list

and wondering when I may have time to sit down again before dinnertime

I make it sound so drastic don't I!

reality is I am finishing up a week of vacation

and although it was a busy one ~ we did have some down time too

you see I am having surgery on my hand on Tuesday

so I wanted to get all my planting done and the house cleaned

you know ~ all the things you want to get accomplished

while you still have use of both hands

so while I sit here and watch a squirrel hop along the fence

I know this will be my spot for a week or so 

I have meals pre-made and some shows on the pvr

I have covered most of my bases so to speak

but enough about that.....

last month a group of girls from junior high met on a Sunday morning for brunch

and just to catch up ~ oh what fun we had!

our church celebrated their 50th anniversary and we attended the celebration

the guest speaker was the minister that was there when Trev was growing up

I had heard so much about this wonderful woman and I know now why she was a favourite

it was a beautiful service and the fellowship afterwards was jam packed with people

these girls have a huge chunk of my heart ~ after many failed attempts to get together

we finally got to dinner and I am so glad we did

my gallery wall!  Yes!  I finally bit the bullet and did it

and happy to say that I really really like it

I wanted some pops of red to compliment our new red recliner

and the pops here and there throughout the living room

last time the old gang from the neighborhood got together it was for a funeral

so we made a pact that the next time we got together would be for joy and not sorrow

we made it happen a couple of weekends ago

I have known these 2 since I was five ~ the roots run deep

although we did get to the cottage to open it up for the season

we did not spend the night

we did make it to the camp though as it was already open for the season

there is something about taking your coffee out to the deck in the morning

and just sitting ~ listening to the river and watching the hummingbirds

it was some down time that was required for both of us

so that's pretty much me in a nutshell

all photos taken with my phone because that's the way we roll nowadays

actually big girl camera coming out today as there are some lilacs I have my eye on

vacant lot ~ you know I am coming for you!

Happy Sunday
