The Joy of being Home

Some images from travelling...

Loved the swim baskets

and light fixtures

made

out of old goodies at 

Hoodoo Antiques in Portland.

At Saturday Market in Portland,

watching the children

play in the

fountain.

 or not play...

This is Tessie, she sits upfront

on her owner's motorcycle

and wears a helmet too!

Looks like she

stopped to pose for me~!

Hunting for words

on this trip...

and cool places to take

some Senior photos

of my daughter.

We stopped to pick blueberries,

I missed it because there were so

many outbuildings on this 

old farm...

as I headed round the bend

on the very bumpy road,

I felt like I was

in an episode of "Picker's."

Oh my, If I could have

hauled things back to Colorado,

I'd have gone "pickin.''

When we ran into another car coming down the hill,

the driver had to pull off road for us to pass.

Then we got to a house with the

chickens hanging out on the porch!

A ragged lookin' child came

to ask us what we were doing

there....he was about 4, 

guess not many people

just pop in!

Time at the beach is always so refreshing.

Just to sit and listen

to the roar

is 

enough.

Well, for me, it is actually snoozin' on the

beach that makes the vacation

complete.

But home...

I love to come home.

Gone to the Beach

Let me tell you about my mama

In the last 8 months,

she's been in the

hospital and

rehab for

a broken hip,

as well as some other

things....

And so imagine my

SURPRISE

when she

said yes,

to the 

BEACH.

 I live 1000 miles away,

so it has been a

DELIGHTFUL

week.

Day 1, looking

at the BEACH

from the top of the

very steep path.

 God gave me the

best gift

EVER

when He

chose 

my mama

for

me.

The best place to be

is most

definitely

the BEACH.

Day 2,

"Sure, I'd like to go

on down to the 

beach for a while..."

Isn't she so cute!

Day 3

Look at her!

And then, "Yes,

I'd like to go on down for

the fireworks!!!"

So not only was she walking in the sand,

she walked in the sand in the

dark, she's 

AMAZING!

blessings,

deedee
