One suitcase, two suitcase, three suitcase, four............

"Over the river and through the woods (o.m.g. the pavement turned into a pot marked swamp!) treasure hunting we will go"!!....(shift into 4-Wheel drive). What a "great" day..... cabin fever dusted off and hopefully not to return for another year! Don't get me wrong.... I love to spend a cozy day or two at home after Christmas, but umpteen.... No Thanks.

 

Treasures were found on Saturday, finally. After searching high and low locally the mother load was struck!!! Eureka. Nothing like a nice "hual" of vintage goodies!!!

 

You've come a long way baby!!!!.................

 Those words could not be more true when it comes to the Winter Olympic Games!!!

One for money, two for the show, three to get ready, GO CAT GO.....

The Games of 1924, the very first Winter Olympiad.... Look at the Pioneer's that

blazed the trail....

Future Rockette's????? Loving the Olympics as much as I can watch this week and next. Still

loving all of the snow that we have had this season here in Ohio. I really am a fan and we were

jipped the last couple of years so I guess we are making up for the lack of.

A day..... Away......

Oh how I have missed the Country. It felt so good just to get out of the city

for a day... Into the rolling hills and.....

yes, into the "fragrance" of country living. It was nice to see a pen chock

full of chicken's (love the different variety). Reminiscent of my

Granddads farm.

Stay-cation...............

I had a little extended time off over the 4th of July....very nice. I had a stay-cation, and though I did not get everything done that I had planned on, I did manage to make out to the lake.
I snapped picture, after picture, hung out with the Seagulls, walked in the water with my "Pali" rubber sandal's.....( I love, love, love, this sandal, I wear them ALL the time).



I threw my blanket on the beach and got in some long awaited reading and some color for my skin.

Little "Gull" prints

These step's always fascinate me. You can sit on them, and look at nothing but water................It's also a great place to find some really pretty "sea glass".

A very nice day.

One Adam 12...One Adam 12

Be on the look out for a silver Honda Civic carousing the cemetery grounds.....

Yes, it's me, and I can not wait a whole year to take a monthly picture of a wonderful tree....I found a new tree to follow and blog about, although I have not yet came up with a name for her. The last one was "Winter" for "Winter Warlock", but something about this one strikes me as being very motherly. I will give it some thought and let you know. Isn't she b.e.a.utiful?

I have to give prop's to "Adam 12" also. Part of the second grade, home sick, television line up....along with "Lucy", "Green Acre's", and "Bewitched".

Twelve Day's of Christmas...............

Twelve, count 'em, twelve more days, it is like waiting for Christmas.
Twelve days, and I will be shopping in a town North of where I live.
This will be the third year, along with my chum, that we have ventured to the quaint city streets. We
start out by having a wonderful breakfast, of course, and then we spend
the day walking and jaunting around the city, filled with fabulous,
quirky, and just plain cool stores. I will be taking a lot of picture's this
year, and will post them after November 14th.

North of the border.............

Yesterday was a b.e.a.utiful day to be out of doors.....I took a little trip north of the border, and caught some spectacular foliage on camera. O.K., so it wasn't the Adirondack's, but hey that's all right. Today, a different story all together. Laundry, cooking, (which I don't mind), and a little cleaning. Enjoy the pic's.

Autumn Outing................

"October is crisp days and cool nights,

a time to curl up around

the dancing flames and sink into

a good book." a.u.

Today was beautiful Autumn day. A little overcast, but

nonetheless a wonderful time was had by all. It all started

with a wonderful breakfast at that place that has all of

rocking chairs for sale on their front porch...you know the

one. Eggs, bacon, toast and coffee for myself. It was very

good. Then, it was off to one very large Estate Sale, a little

shopping on the side, and then an Apple Orchard.

Fall has arrived, wind blowing and leaves falling. I can

almost smell them burning on the side of the road.
