Day 2 of Vacation. 



 

 "Hello Mr. Bumblebee"

 

Back From Vacation

Yes, I've been on vacation; partially the reason for my not posting lately.  The other reason is that I've just not had much to say.  Be thankful for that.  ::wink, wink::

So, we are thoroughly enjoying our little haven on the lake.  It is so peaceful and quiet and is where I spent the majority of my vacation. 

Here is a snapshot of our life down to camp....

We build fires, really big ones

We play games, Yatzee is my favorite

We go canoeing.  Love my kids!

We got to the fireworks early to get a prime seat.  It was perfect!

Hubby and I ended my vacation (yes, it was just mine, he did have to work) by visiting my mom who lives about 2 hours away.

This is the long, lonely road to my mother's rural residence.  

 

We always eat at this little diner when visiting.

We took a different route home and found this lovely church.

And now I am back to work. 

Vacations are always too short.

Have a lovely week everyone!

...my how my garden is growing!

I'm very excited at the progress of my garden. Look at those sugar snap peas! I should be able to start harvesting lettuce next week. Yum!

Snapped this photo of my rhododendron this morning.

You'd think I have a green thumb or something.

Actually, my grandfather was quite the gardener. God must have blessed me with his gardening genes.

New Shoes

....are a wonderful thing!
