Home again Home again

Whew..........


Loaded up the truck and made a quick run to Battle Mountain,Nevada for some antelope hunting.

Since we were just there for the weekend, we lived in the lap of luxury and forked out 45.00 $ a night for a motel room.

The shower water was hot and the room clean. That's pretty much all we needed after chasing the elusive antelope all day.

Nevada Sagebrush

We went up the hill, we went down the hill. Thru the sagebrush, creeks and lots of dust.

Oh Give Me a Home.........

 We saw a total of 12 Antelope, oodles of jack rabbits, 2 coyotes, one snake and one fat ole horned toad.

Just barely enough water to splash!!!

 We saw a lot of fences and one old stone cabin/barn? Not real sure..........but it was really neat looking!!

Nevada fence.....I think the sagebrush is holding it up

Big old structure. Not sure if it was a house/barn or combination

No luck finding OUR Antelope!!!!

Home again, unpacked the truck and got everything situated for another work week.

Next week the adventure continues............

Ripple Afghan in Blueberry Banana......

the Proud Parents-Louie and Dominique

Started a new afghan for my new to be grandbaby..

Dominique is due the first of November, and I wanted to make a baby afghan that wasn't your "typical" baby afghan. When I saw this color, I knew this was what I wanted to use. It's working up so wonderful.....I just love the colors.

    I know little Arlo is going to think he's laying in a sea of water with all those colors.

This picture really doesn't give the colors full justice. And I just love the ripple pattern. This is so easy, I just might have to make a few more of them. Different colors.



























 

Oregon-Here we come!!!

Okay,

  The trailer is loaded,lawn mowed, litter boxes cleaned...........

Tomorrow morning we're gonna hook up and head up to Lincoln City, Oregon.

Gonna spend about a week sitting on the coast of Oregon.

With any luck, it will rain most of the time.

I'm ready for some cool down time.

It's been over 100 here almost every day. Not cooling down at night, either.

I'll be posting pic's as we go......

Moss Roses

I found some Moss Roses the other day at Lowe's. I love the look of the these beautiful plants. I ended up buying half a dozen to plant in my flower bed. 

Every time I go to Lowe's I end up with something to plant.

These blossoms are so bright and cheery they just jump out at you.

Sprinklers and Sunday's

What is it about the quiet on a Sunday morning? 

Early Sunday mornings around here are nice and quiet these days.

Except for the sprinkler.

Programed to come on at 1:00 a.m and 6:00 a.m. But even than, it's a nice kinda of noise.

Laying in bed and hearing the sprinkler's kick on and rain down. The air coming in thru the bedroom window is nice and cool for now.

In a few hours tho, that will change. The summer days seem to be flying by too fast.

Wanna grab on with both hands and hold tight.

Before we know it, fall and winter will be sliding in and settling down.

Louie and Amber (the young'uns)

 A few years ago, my son and daughter took a trip to visit their grandparents. The kids got a little creative with their cameras.

Tuna Salad

It's been hot!!
Maybe not as hot as other parts of the country......but still too warm to do a bunch of cooking in the evening. So, when hubby decided he was a little peckish tonight, I put together some tuna salad.

Not your everyday tuna and pickle. I threw in some chopped celery, carrots and because they were just sitting there in a bowl, nice and crisp, some red grapes.

WHAT!!!! 

Yep, red grapes and they added a nice little crunch to my tuna salad. Served it with some leftover tortilla strips and called it dinner. Didn't have to heat up the kitchen at all.

I would have posted some pics of my beautiful Tuna Salad with Grapes, but two things happened:
My camera bit the dust last week and we ate ALL the tuna salad!!!

Maybe next time.....till than stay cool!!!
