I guess this is as good a time to start posting again, as any,,,,,I really enjoyed this video of marching geese.
Hello, everyone! We have had an eventful summer:
We spent July 4th weekend at Starvy Creek Blue Grass Festival Maggie and Jiggs. This was our first outing with the Motor Home. As usual we had a great time. We took the dogs, as fire works are not allowed, and they start the first of July or earlier in our neighborhood. vexing all the puppies.
In August we went to St George Utah, for my nieces wedding. It was a true family reunion to have my brother and his family, DD1's family and DD2. We had a grand time. It rained all morning but the sun came out in the afternoon. and all was beautiful and fairly cool.
She had cupcakes instead of regular wedding cake, which Caшa, and Лука, enjoyed! She did have an unusual smaller cake that the bride and groom cut. It was decorate with blackboard and chalk frosting something she always said she wanted!
The reception was fun with lots of dancing and a photobooth Лука, who has been dancing since he could walk, danced all night along with his mother, or his brother or by himself. Caшa was possessed by the photobooth. He photobombed a number of guests and learned how to take the picture. Every time we lost track of him he was sneaking into the photobooth.
The next event is our trip to Europe at the end of the month. I have had the London segment pretty well planned for a month, We are going 2 days earlier than the tour for some extra time. I splurged on a 3 day London Pass for the extra days and I hope it will be a worth while expense. One good thing about the pass was last week they sent me an email about some tickets for Buckingham Palace being available, I went right to the website and scored 2 tickets for one of our non tour days. It was really something I wanted to do that was not included with GoAhead Tours.
1. What
is the last book that you passed on to someone else to read? I read a Kindle so I can only pass books to Mr BC. I passed along Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog.It was a great book about a fantastic dog and about dogs in general. You will laugh, you will cry.
2. The
one song you secretly or not so secretly want to sing at karaoke? Probably something by Abba, I know the words to most already.
3. If
you had to pick a new name for yourself, what would it be? Suzanne! My dad didn't like it and mom did. I was disappointed when I heard the story. I like the name.
4. What
do you wish your administrator or boss would notice? I don't have one anymore....but I did like it when they would recognize good work, which they did often.
5. What
is your biggest pet peeve? Bad grammar.... It will only get worse with social networking.
6. What
holds you back in pursuing your biggest dream? Probably money. I don't have a lot of big dreams, but one would be, to spend what time I have left traveling and learning.
7. Why
do you think you are a lovable person? I try to be a caring, helpful person. I would say I lean toward self-sacrificing too much. I hope that is seen more as lovable and less like...... being walked all over.
8. If
every day had an extra hour in it, what would you do with it? I would use it to cook a wonderful dinner. Dinner sneaks up on me too easily.
9. The
last song you turned up in your car or house was? See question 2, I would have wanted to sing along.
10. What
is a secret talent you may have? My secret hidden talents? Hmmm. I did find out when DD1 got married, that I had the makings for a floral designer. Keeping the expenses down she wanted us to do the flowers.So the night before the wedding, found Mr BC and I making the table centerpieces. We got lots of compliments. 11. Your
favorite thing to do outside when it's not too cold out in the winter? Walk the dogs...It is a little thing but they love it so much. They get so excited. We have been house bound for quite a few weeks. The weather will be better so we will do it every day next week.
12. How
do you respond if someone asks you an inappropriate or nosy question? "Why would you want to know that?" It really works if you say it right.
1) As she sings about her night in Las Vegas, Katy wonders if she "got hitched last night dressed up like Elvis." Tell us about the last wedding you attended.
I am sure that it was my daughter's wedding in, I think 2006, I can't remember dates any more. I wrote a little about it here...... in verse. We did it ourselves and it was beautiful.
As the saints overlook the couple, hands raised in blessing.
I smile through my tears, my heart seems about to burst.
The chanting of the choir has stopped and the priest begins.
I do not recognize the language being spoken, but understand the meaning.
Two becoming one, my child no more, a new life together begins.
My memoir prompt this week comes from Assistant Editor Galit.
This week I want you to conjure something. An object, a person, a feeling, a color, a season- whatever you like. But don’t tell me what it is, conjure it
