Bear and I adore our walks together! We get good exercise and bonding! We also get to totally enjoy what beautiful flowers we see on our way! I always have my camera and get to capture their beauty too!

Beautiful blue Iris standing proud with the Calla Lilies! Blue and White in harmony! A flower symphony!

I am very proud how this one turned out! The white beauties stand out in the dark contrast! Sometimes my accidental point and shoots turn out awesome! I think of my Grandma when I see these flowers as she loved them!

I can’t remember what these are called but they are standing proud and tall, huge red tops strutting their stuff!

Now to go and finish crocheting on my stuffed dog for hubby’s special order!

Today would have been my Sis Vickie’s birthday. She died at the age of 19, because a trucker failed to have his fifth wheel hooked up properly, it detracted from his trailer and killed my sister, her friend and a family that was traveling behind my sister and her friend too.

My sister was active rank of Airman in the U.S. Air Force! She was studying to be a dental technician. She was vibrant and beautiful and taken way too young!

I will always miss her! Happy Birthday my sweet little sis in heaven!

I just got this percolator! My grandparents used to have one. On theirs you could see it perking in the lid handle. I wanted this for the nostalgic memories! I am going to try mine out tomorrow after work!

This was taken before our neighbor had the new fence put in. Bear loved watching his friend Freddie! He wanted to play with the little guy so bad! Freddie has since crossed over Rainbow Bridge. Bear still remember’s Freddie’s name! He remembers all of his doggy friends which is so cool!

I love listening to the BBC World Service on my way to work in the morning. I found out that the Swiss cowbells more than likely will become a thing of the past. The decibel of their ring is found to be making the bovine’s hearing impaired and it can affect their eating habits.

When I was a little girl I used to collect bells. This bell brings back fond memories and I may just have a piece of history in my collection!

My hubby surprised me with a fully cleaned house and he made me dinner for my birthday! Awesomeness!

I am quite pleased at how my two pies turned out! They have to cool for two hours and then place in the refrigerator to chill! I shall call them patience pies because you have to be patient to eat them! tee hee!

I have many fond memories of my Grandma making pies like these and they were my favorite!

I like this photo of Ms. Roberts taken by Monty Brinton! I loved her acting on Everybody Loves Raymond and I saw her in some of my chick flick movies! May she rest in peace and prayers and hugz for her family and loved ones mourning her loss!

I am thankful for all her work in show business entertaining audiences!

Death of Another Business…

≪ Previous: In Memory of Doris Roberts…

I remember when my grandparents went into this store and bought things for our home. Gordon’s Fireplace was started in 1955 and the business was an original tenant in the Lloyd Center Mall. When the mall was being renovated, Mr Gordon moved his business to this location in which the building was a former aircraft plant.

He was unable to sell his business so once everything is sold, the business is gone. He is retiring. It is so sad to see something that has been around for such a long time disappear.

I hope that the building is preserved and stays there rather than being torn down!

Grumpy Cat was sporting my shades in sunny Hillsboro this afternoon! He is happy even though he is sporting a grumpy face! tee hee!

I stopped at the store to get some bread after work and was shocked to see “Wonder Bread” I had to buy a loaf, this brings back fond memories because a long time ago my grandpa worked for Wonder Bread! We grew up on that bread! Fond memories!

I was a good girl and dug out my Jenny Craig exercise bar and DVD. I only made it through part of the work out because I am not used to it but in a few weeks I will be doing much better at it!

Have a great rest of your week friends!

Leanne Cole’s Photography Book!

Yay my Leanne Cole’s photography book arrived and I love it! I have been following her blog for a long time and wanted her book!!!!! She does fantastic photography! My dream some day would be to travel to her country and be able to meet her!

Nostalgia ~ when I was a little girl my sister and I had rabbits foot for good luck! Humans have for a very long time believed in a vast and eclectic array of amulets, talismans and charms that may bring them good luck! In Europe the tradition of carrying a rabbit’s foot stems from ancient beliefs that humans descended from animals. A tribe worshiped its animal ancestor and carried parts of that animal as protective totems.

The Celts believe rabbits are good fortune. The lucky rabbit’s foot popped up around the turn of the 2oth Century in America.

For nostalgic purposes I have my lucky rabbit’s foot, (May not be so lucky for the rabbit missing the foot though) tee hee! just kidding!

Fond memories!

Hugz and Happy Weekend wishes!

These pics were taken a long time ago! I found them in my hubby’s photo collection! Bear loved playing with his Papa and engaging him in a good game of ball! Bear loved sitting near me and listening hoping for some of his favorite words like “Go Bye Bye in the van”, or “Chow Chow Chow”
