Men and Women

It took me two hours to pack last night. It took Bob 30 minutes.........go figure!

Leaving tomorrow at 7:35 a.m. and will have dinner crossing the Mississippi (hopefully), wake up on Friday around Denver, spend the day and night going through the Rockies and arrive in San Francisco on Saturday evening.

Next posting will be from 'Earthquake Central'.....Lord, my pessimistic side is showing! :-)

Stressing Out...

It's official.

Pre-vacation irritability is setting in.

Why bother trying to work when my thoughts are:

• Where in the blue blazes did I leave my bathing suit?!?
• Did I buy batteries..... (yes, you bought them!)...then why can't I FIND THEM!!! (At this point, my inner voice is NOT helping out!)
• The ever increasing 'list'
• The sinking feeling as I realize I have not bought my textbooks for the classes that start when I return. One more thing to add to my 'to do' list....groan

Where is the blessed list???

My list, my list, my kingdom for my list!

The Deck Is Done!

The east side of our new deck.
View of the middle from the back yard.

Note the blue spruce to the right (see note below). This is my hidden nook....behind our big blue spruce.

Perfect for reading or just relaxing!
The trouble makers and pooch.....notice all the bruises on my legs!
Bees are everywhere!

Our yard is a haven for butterflies, too.

Miss Toad (aka mistletoad) on the lookout for feathered friends!

The yellows are exploding in my garden!
