Sunday Thoughts

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,
