We stayed at home today

As we said, we stayed home today. Our to do list was very long, and it was a nice day to work outside. First, we painted the house.

I wanted purple and blue, sissy wanted pink and yellow, since we could not agree, we bought them all. Do you like the way they look together? Once we finished the painting, we washed the car. I had purchased some roses earlier this week, so I got them potted and put them by the front walk. I love the way they match the house!
We also managed to get some laundry done today. Since it was such a nice day, we chose to hang it outside rather than run the dryer. I love the way laundry dried in the sun smells.

With all the chores finished we finally had time to sit and enjoy a cup of tea. We were just finishing our tea and discussing what we would like to do tomorrow, when we looked across the yard to see...THIS!



New Neighbors!

We had been so busy today that we hadn't even noticed the furniture delivery truck.

Watching for a few minutes, we finally figured out that there are two men moving in directly next door to us. (Sissy thinks this one is cute!)

I guess tomorrow we will go introduce ourselves.

After all, it is the neighborly thing to do!


Speaking of furniture delivery trucks, "COUCH IN THE ROAD!"

Good night, see you in the morning!

Our little "StayCation"

While Evy, Her daughter and some of those pesky little children are away in California, we decided to show you what we are doing on our little "StayCation"

My sis and I went to the beach today. It was sunny and 75* with a little breeze. Just perfect!

Sissy took a little swim. I am not a good swimmer, so I stayed on the beach. I brought a good book to read and my sunblock, so I am happy.

Here is my sis in her sunglasses. She thinks she is so cool!

My favorite flip-flops.


We went hunting for seashells, and this is what we found. See the one under the blanket? She is trying to hide it from me because I found it, but she got to it faster and claimed "Finders Keepers".
Now she is just rubbing it in!



Speaking of rubbing it in, it is time for more sunblock.

So, Maybe you are lucky enough to be taking a real vacation like Evy, and maybe you are just enjoying your home town like my sis and I, but we would love to hear what you are doing this summer. We will be filling you in on more of our "StayCation" tomorrow.

I am going to be

gone for a few days. We are going to Montana, Philipsburg actually. Stan's office building has been undergoing a major remodel. Beginning tomorrow they are going to remove the interior walls and connect the building to the new exterior walls. Since he cannot see patients under those circumstances we made the decision to take a ski holiday. A ski holiday for him. I do not ski so I will take my knitting and my book and cuddle down in the lodge we are staying at. My daughter Angie and her family are going as well as our son in law Sebastian and four of their five children.
Friends of ours actually own the lodge (Flintcreek Lodge) and I am looking forward to spending time with them. She is the youngest sister of the young man who was killed in the plane crash this fall. I posted about that when we made the trip over to Baker for his funeral. His parents will make the trip over for the weekend also. We have not been together for many years, with the exception of my hurried trip over for the funeral, so I am truly looking forward to reconnecting. I tried to get a picture from the web to show you, but couldn't will have to just post mine when we get home.
