June??? Where DId May Go???

Hope you are all well...and enjoying some kind of decent weather!!!

Spring was slow...now Summer promises to drag her feet as well!!

We have had 1 or 2 nice days...then the temps drop...as well as the rain...

Gardens are kinda confused...to say the least...

Baby Grandson is doing great...Mom, Dad and big Sister too!!

Boyfriend and I have spent some time at the cottage...but not as much as we would like...My back is still a problem...I have an MRI in a couple of weeks...
Perhaps they will be able to explain what is going on...I do know that I have 2 compression fractures in my spine...but cannot explain how they occured...
My Dr thinks it may have been an old injury, and I tweaked it the wrong way...
Hope fully that is all it is...and I can continue to heal...perhaps for 3 months...
Oh well...fingers crossed for me...ok?

I will be seeing Miss V and Master K this afternoon...will try and get a few newer pics of the 2 cuties 💙💜💚

I will also be back with some May and June bloomers to share with you all...

Thanks to all my faithful peeps...blogging seems to be becoming a lost art...
It does require a lot of thought and preparation...but well worth it when I read your lovely comments... So....if you visit...please do leave a comment...
I answer every one!!!

Enjoy the rest of your week...

     We are cloudy...expecting rain...and humidity!!!

          I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind!! 

                 See you soon...

                         Cheers!  :o)

Greetings From The Beach.....

Hello everyone....

Arrived at the beach on Saturday afternoon....

A very long drive, but we made it!

I got a beautiful big new IPad for my bday, from my family, but for some reason, the blogger app

Did not get moved over, so I am posting from my old IPad 😳

The weather has been fabulous so far....sunny....hot and humid...

Please forgive the silly order of photos....and if they seem out of sync....best I can do for now!

It was cloudy this evening, so not a great sunset....

We have been walking....and enjoying the sunshine....dinner on the porch!

I know most of you are still enduring crazy weather.....sorry! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Found this Barbie right out near our beach chairs....crazy,eh?

So....that's it for now....hope you can follow what I am writing....😂😂😂😂

Must figure out how to get the blogger app on my beautiful new BIG iPad!

Hope you are all well....

         See you soon....

               Cheers!

Bits & Bobs......

We visited the cottage earlier in the week...

Lovely and calm...

If not a bit cloudy...

It was so beautiful...

Enjoyed the birds... 

The blooms...

The veggies...

And I even got another driftwood twirly thingy made...( I am becoming addicted to these)

Hope you are all well...

Another soggy day here...heading back to the cottage in the am...

Thanks for all your lovely comments on my last post...greatly appreciated!! 

Have a wonderful weekend my friends... 

           See you soon...

                   Cheers!  :o)

🌟🌟🌟 Happy Dad's Day🌟🌟🌟

 Happy Dad's Day to all who qualify!!!

The above photo is me and my Dad...I was 3 months old, he was home for a few months, when I was born... as he was recuperating from some stomach surgery...

To the right, is the Summer of '51...

My Mom...older brother Bill, 5 in this photo... who was, and still is ,4 years older than me!!

I love the way my Dad is fussing over me 💕Unfortunately he passed away when I was 21...and he was a mere 67...my age right now...kinda scary,eh??

Okay...enough sadness....we celebrated Fathers Day Yesterday at the cottage...

All the kids came out...it was a fabulous day...hot...steamy...not too windy!

My boyfriend was so pleased with his gifts...and of course...

Miss V was a favorite visitor....for everyone!!!

The water was still too chilly...

But she NEEDED to put on her bathing suit, and her new water shoes that we had bought her!!!

She kept herself busy, collecting special sparkly rocks...

Isn't her dress cute!! Love that colour!!

And...the Jellie shoes!

Nothing like a strawberry cone to cool off when it is nice and hot!!

 And a big snuggle with her Papa💛💙💜💚





She made him a very special card....

So creative!!!!!

Hoe you all enjoyed your day with your Dads...and your loved ones...and remembered our Dads who are gone.

But....

Never forgotten......ever.....💖



I'll be back in a couple of days with a few more photos from our glorious 5 days at the cottage....

GORGEOUS weather...

Looks like Summer has finally arrived..............



          Enjoy your Sunday my friends....


                          Cheers!  :o)

Latest From The Beach...and...Lots Of Food!

 Hi Everyone......

Me again....checking in!

Weather has been fantastic....lots of warm Sunshine...and plenty to eat!

I will have to go on a strict diet when I get home! Hahaha! 😳

We had hotdogs for lunch the other day...so delish....not something we usually eat!

I did Cajun catfish the other night...with grilled veggies and rice....really good!

Grilled pork tenderloin, with smashed potatoes...grilled peppers, and asparagus....yummy!

Of course....my fav BURGERS with Greek salad and avacadoes!

Ok....now you see why I need to go on a diet!

Been walking a lot....but I guess the food is catching up to me!

Oh well.....there will be lots of chores at home to keep me active.....right?

Started another blanket....loving the grey/blue tones...may need to pick up a few balls of yarn here....

I alway miscalculate how much I need.

I like this pic of me and boyfriend....

Check out that big black cloud behind us!

Love the clouds...and...of course the Sunsets...

The one below, was mind altering...seriously beautiful.

Ok....I am off for a walk...hahaha! Had berries and yogurt for breakfast...

Hope you are all well....and enjoying your weekend.

See you soon.....

          Cheers!  :o)

Lovin' Our Winter Country Drives....

As I am sure you have guessed by now...we had our wee companion with us for this drive!!

See her there??? I put an arrow to make it easier to find her! hahaha!!

Always makes a bee line for the beach!!

Her Papa followed her down...didn't even have time to get his hat on!!!

It was pretty darn brisk I'll tell 'ya!!

While boyfriend opened up...grabbed a hat...I distracted her, by putting out some seed for the hungry birds....

She is not really standing on the icy shore...the beach is underneath that...this is frozen in mid air!! But very solid...we would never endanger her...

Check out that blue sky on the American Side of the Lake....

She got busy picking up any fallen twigs and branches...

She knows where to put them...so we will have kindling for a fire...

There is something so heartwarming about a wee child enjoying something sooo much!! She is always up for anything...loves to help with anything...she is the best thing that has happened to our family...truly....♥️

As per my last post...Miss V stayed with us for 2 days of the Christmas school break...we did everything under the sun...including quite a few rip-roaring games of Snakes & Ladders!! She won nearly all the games, too!!

I hope you are all well...and enjoying the New Year...

Our weather has turned chilly the last few days...but not as bad as some cities...we have had a very mild go of it so far!! Hardly any snow on the ground at all!! But...of course...a very harsh cold wind...💨💨💨

I have been very good about going to Fitness...made it to 2 classes this week...and I also got a few brisk walks in with the boyfriend...It really does give you the energy to do more during the day...I will continue my efforts until we leave for our vacation in the Sun...where we walk and walk and walk all day long...and relax of course!! I will take yarn with me...and I am going to try some more knitting...I did pretty well on my test  piece...who knows??? Perhaps I will knit more than I crochet!! Probably not...but I would like to refresh my skills in that area.

Today we are off for our country drive!!

Make sure the cottage is safe and sound...♥️

Planning on Chinese for lunch...some thrifting...and we have some stuff to donate too...what treasures await?? hahaha!!

Have a wonderful day and a great weekend...

           And....Thanks and Welcome to new followers...hope to see you often!!

             Cheers!  :o)
