Dashing and Hustling with Time for Berries
Mornin’ luvs! How are you this fine day?
After a good night’s sleep I’m doing my darnedest not to get stressed as I ponder how to get everything done before I move to Amsterdam on Friday. Yipes! 🙂
I’ve been learning how to space things out so I do a few necessary and a few fun things each day. It’s been so good to have time to visit with dear friends in between hustling to banks, the post office and doctors offices. I’m grateful beyond measure to the lovely folks who have come to help me do the things I can’t do.
Have you moved before? Do you have any tips for me? Things to remember, ideas to make the transition easier? I’m all ears. 🙂
Wishing you a most wonderful Monday as I finish my bowl of berries and dash out the door. xo
Sunshine, Waterfalls and a Bit of Murder
Good morning, luvs!
The last two days have been cold, dark and rainy, but it’s felt so cozy and lovely because I had new Poirot murder mysteries to watch and decadent Baileys creamer to put in my coffee.
With such bleak weather, it’s marvy to be able to linger over these sunshiny shots I took in the mountains this weekend when my friend Jenny and I went up to gorgeous Nooksack Falls.
I hope you enjoy them and have an absolutely WONDERFUL weekend! Much love. xo
Sledding, Sandwiches and Snow in July
Hi lovelies! I know I promised you mountain adventures yesterday, but the piles of boxes in the living room needed my immediate attention. Thanks to my friend Cameron they are now GONE, whisked away to thrift store, dump, and friends’ homes where they belong. What utter relief to have that done!!!
Now at last I can sit down and write to you dear folks. 🙂
After our jolly hike on crutches along the gorgeously raging Nooksack River, my friend Jenny and I drove high up into the mountains. It was a blazing hot day but, much to our delight, there was snow everywhere!!!
We opened our windows, breathing deeply of the amazingly fresh air filled with the scent of melting snow and pine trees. When we spotted sledders shrieking down the mountain side, we decided that was the perfect spot to pull over for a spot of lunch.
Jenny had made us scrumptious sandwiches of sun-dried tomato turkey with cheese and Dijon mustard, and we happily munched our way through them and a few handfuls of sugar snap peas. The sun felt so good and it was such fun watching the folks hollering and laughing their way down the mountain before rolling off their sleds and trudging back up the hill for another go.
Although I’d been brave enough to hike in my crutches, even I was not crazy enough to attempt navigating snow. But there was no way Jenny could be that close to snow and not at least touch it – even if she was in flip-flops! So off she went, skidding and sliding her way across the drifts, returning a bit later bearing a snowball for me so I could enjoy a bit of the cold stuff too. 🙂
Tomorrow I’ll show you pictures (and video!) from the oh-so-beautiful Nooksack Falls.
Where do you like to go adventuring when you have a free day?
