I am mesmerized by stunning skies. Look at the peek of blue where you see the possibility of a cloudless day – clouds rolling in, the dark shapes of the trees and those fabulous power lines – makes for a neat photo…
Enjoy your Saturday and I’ll catch you back here tomorrow!
The magnetic pull of Monhegan, Maine. A panoramic from the hill near the Monhegan Museum & Lighthouse. What a view – it’s as if you can see forever! Of course this image is better larger (can click to enlarge), but you get an idea! There is a bench overlooking the cemetery, which is such a peaceful place to sit and just take it all in. Most of us would like nothing better than to never leave, however, that isn’t an option. So absorb it with every ounce of your being while you’re there! If you haven’t been – definitely add it to your bucket list!

Charleston, SC architecture and charm. The homes in Charleston have so much character. You will see all the colors of the rainbow, some muted and some not so much. The beautiful window boxes and planters help add to the charm, as does a random bicycle attached to a street sign. Cool shadows on the home as well…
Enjoy your Saturday! Catch you back here tomorrow!
How did we meet?
I was dog sitting at a friend’s house. I saw Fred drive by, so I leashed up the puppy (didn’t know it had never been walked) and walked to Fred’s house a few doors down, the puppy went right up to him and sat down. That is how we met. Fred invited me in and showed me his house, it was just beautiful! A few days later was Easter, I walked out to get the newspaper and there on the door was a big gift bag with a gorgeous Easter bunny. I thought, how lucky my friend is to wake to such treasures! I set it on the table for her to see when she arrived home. Then I thought… WHAT if this bunny is for me? I peeked inside and there was a card that said BARBARA! 😍❤️💃
I almost fell over!
This is our story.
So… Don’t ever give up on love – it’s out there. We both had relationships in our past that weren’t the right ones… Not meant to be. After a period of time we had both stopped trying to find someone, and guess what? Yep, that’s when it happens!
I love this man – he is a treasure, there is no better person, he’s honest, strikingly handsome, and he has the biggest heart and is my best friend.
Forever.
Note, this isn’t a recent photo, but it’s a favorite, taken by my sister when we were in San Francisco in 2007. Let’s just pretend the wrinkles that have formed since aren’t really there. For those of you who can see them, they were earned from the many smiles that came from this man!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Botany Bay located in Edisto, SC is an amazing place. The scenery is like going back in time. The grand oak trees with the draping moss, the way the light filters through the trees – the fascinating birds and so much more – all good reasons to visit! Don’t miss the beach, you won’t believe your eyes!
Happy Sunday – Catch you back here tomorrow…
Tulips are such happy flowers. They change from day until night which is really something. I love when they get kind of wild, it’s almost as if they’re dancing as they reach for the light. At night they stand tall. Tulips are phototropic, which means they follow the light, so be sure to turn the vase to keep them even.
When you get them home, make a diagonal cut about 1/4″ or more under running water. Place in a clean vase with lukewarm water (they don’t like cold water). Be sure to check the water each day, dump the old and give them fresh, I also give a fresh cut every so often.
Did you know tulips keep growing after they are cut? Cool fact, huh?
Happy Saturday! Catch you back here tomorrow…
My favorite Happy Birthday photo!
Another year older (sigh), another year wiser (yippee) – thank you for joining in on this ride we call life!
A photo from the archives, way, way, way back when… Sun in my eyes and a “hurry up and take the photo” look on my face. Nice kid, huh? I was a Precisionette in high school. It was big fun. We marched behind the Band and the Majorettes. Those jackets were insulated for the cold weather football games (Michigan), so the warm months could be a challenge!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
We all have those dog-tired days. Days when we just need to kick back and relax. DO IT! It’s Sunday. Rest and rejuvenate yourself.
Charlie will try as well ;) (I think this is a hint for a bigger bed, ha).
Catch you back here tomorrow!
I snapped this photo (as a passenger) driving over the Ashley River Bridge in Charleston. July brought a lot of stormy weather and wild skies, this is one example. You can see the rain pouring from the clouds. Photo taken with iPhone while moving. I love this photo! I swear with these wonderful skies I cannot go anywhere without a camera, it’s simply impossible!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
This is a day filled with wishes – Happy Birthday to my sister Bridget, and Happy Anniversary (58 years!) to my parents – don’t know how you two do it since you don’t seem a day over 55!
So best wishes for healthy & happy life!
Can you imagine what Charlie’s wish is (above)… MmmmHmmmm… Tsk, tsk!
Here is a favorite memory – Bridget on our sailboat FIDDLE FADDLE reading her comic book… (Notice the state of the art life jacket – it was nice to replace the big thick bright orange ones)!
May all YOUR wishes come true – Catch you back here tomorrow!
Our Crape Myrtle is growing like crazy, blooming beautifully, offering shade which is much appreciated!
GROW BABY GROW!
Happy Sunday – Catch you back here tomorrow!
A photo from the archives…
Charleston, SC – Charming, colorful, adorable, classy, historic, and beautiful!
Enjoy your Saturday – Catch you back here tomorrow!
Isn’t this bird beautiful against that gorgeous blue water? Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

This photo is from the archives, but I thought I would post it today as a reminder not to miss your local Farmer’s Market! What better way to buy the freshest produce that is LOCAL! (Asparagus is no longer in season here in Charleston, SC – but right now we have so many options it will boggle the mind!) – I love the green against the pink rubber band – Wow!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Beastie wishes? Yep. Happy Birthday to Charlie (our Jack Russell) – he turns 7 today!
SEVEN?! Where does the time go? Ha ha… It seems like yesterday that he was pulling toilet paper off the roll and tearing through the house with it. Charlie still acts like he’s a puppy, for which we are grateful (most of the time). This dog has so much character it’s unbelievable!
Happy Birthday Charlie – we wish you many more!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
