It's Been A Long Time......✨

Rose Of Sharon is blooming...

 

Ontario Strawberries were delish...
 

My beautiful granddaughter Miss V turned 8 years old...💛💙💜💚❤️

 

Phlox bloomed and went...
 

Swimming....of course!!

Cottage drive under cloudy skies...
 

Finally had a sleepover at the end of June...
Have not been back since June 26th...:o(...health issues...
 

Back home...by the pool...
 

My beautiful grandchildren...what would we do without them???

 

My wonderful Son-in-law celebrated a milestone in June...
had this sign made for him...my boyfriend got one on his 50th...and we thought such a unique gift...we had it copied and framed...
Jeff and my beautiful daughter Lissa...on his birthday...💙

 

Soooo...not much to say...I will let the pictures speak for themselves...

It has certainly been trying times for everyone...and I hope we can see the end soon...but I am being very optimistic...

Hope you are all well...and enjoying (somewhat) this very hot Summer we are having...

Boyfriend and I hope to get down to the cottage by August 1...

Cant believe the Summer is almost over....:o(


              Until next time...

                     See you soon...

Valentines Ready To Be Mailed.....

I decided that I needed to get my Valentines cards, ready...

They will need to be mailed before we leave...

The hardest part of making your own cards...

Is...

Finding just the right picture...

For those on your Valentines card list... 

I don't make all frilly, lacey...red hearts kind of cards...

I choose from my stack of photos that I have had printed up...

Not your traditional Valentines cards...

That..........

Is for darn sure....

I look for something beyond the obvious...

Luscious closeups of juicy ripe fruit...

Blooming beauties from my Garden photos...

A vase full of wonderful White Tulips...

A favorite photo of our dear Vivian...

And the Hydrangea the bloomed on the day she was born...

A bunch of Tulips still bundled together...

No...

Certainly not traditional...

Not at all...

BUT..

That is [to me] what makes them so special...

And...

That is why I create my own cards...

To let...

The people in my life...

 That I love...

Know...

HOW much they are indeed loved...:o)

  

             All sealed.........and ready to be mailed.....with LOVE...

        And to our very special little Valentine this year...

                    Big Hugs and Kisses...


     On the menu this fine frigid Friday...

          Roast rack of Lamb...with a Dijon mustard crust...

               Roast Potatoes and Carrots...

                   Fresh asparagus...tomatoes and goats cheese...

                       And a few glasses of Merlot...tee hee hee...


           Hope you are having a great day...

                Cheers!  :o)
