Cryptic turkish...
and hanging onto all the babies giving each and every one of them love. |
Spending the whole day cuddled with my old boy furbaby watching silly Netflix movies. He's the luv of my life almost 14 years now.

Remembering the perfect phrase in Turkish.
Finding the perfect time to use it. Hearing its English translation. :cheer: |
It’s a pretty stressful time for our office, so somebody decided to plan a “summer party” this afternoon. We had homemade ice cream and brownies and played some silly games. I managed to win an ice pack and some measuring spoons...ha. I didn’t get so lucky as some of the others who won 4 free hours of PTO or gift cards to nice restaurants, but it was still fun to all get together and act like kids for a bit. We all got some good laughs out of it. :)

A movie date and realizing what the future holds. Joy x's a zillion.

It is true what they say, when you give good, you receive it in return. Joy beyond words on so many levels and in so many areas of My world.

One can never have too many gingers!! :p

My daughter left to go back to college yesterday and scheduled herself to get a tattoo yesterday afternoon. It's her "mom" tattoo (my favorite flower) I got to see pictures of it yesterday and today. Much joy. It's beautiful and I love that she wanted a mom tattoo :) She's planning a "Grandma" tattoo with my mom's favorite flower next.

Waking up to watch the mist covering the valley, the sunrise making the sky over the dark blue mountains glow a stunning mix of purple, pink and pastel blue (it looked like a mixed up watercolor painting)...
Breakfast of strawberry waffles while over looking the rolling blue mountains and distant valley. Very happy doggies. After breakfast, a short trip to a wonderful, unique bookstore/coffee shop/art shop in this 120 year old building that's built into the side of the mountain. (My traveling buddy LOVES bookstores and is an artist) Then a day trip along the Parkway to Boone...stunning weather and so many treasures to find. Enjoyed a walk through a tiny botanical gardens, another art store, and the most awesome Mast General Store. I'm wore out. |
Time with my siblings...
We gathered to scatter mom’s ashes at her happiest place on earth... the beach. She would be pleased that we have continued the tradition of our yearly visits. Just wish she had been well enough to make the trip before she passed. |
looking at the pics of our wedding rings!

Spending the day on messenger with her while I worked and even when I came home early

My father left me his oak desk, after his death. I love, love LOVE this old desk!!! I always have, even though it was, over this desk, the ONLY time my father ever raised his hand to me. I used to love to get into Pop's desk, whether he was around to supervise or not. He was always telling me, "STAY OUT OF MY DESK!!". I never listened. Pop took a belt to me, one day, and that was the last day I ever sneaked my way into this old desk. From then on, I'd ask him if I could peek at his "neat stuff" in the top drawer (where the "good stuff" was). He'd let me, too, and always praise me for asking him first.
Dad's desk was full of all sorts of trinkets, gadgets and just.....neat stuff!! I once found his old ROTC medals and was totally fascinated by them!! Dad always desired a military career as an aviator, but his eyes were very, very bad (think "coke bottle" glasses) and this made him "4F" for any kind of military service. ROTC was the closest he ever got to a military uniform, much to his great disappointment. His generation fought in the Korean war, as Dad was too young for WWII. Dad went to college, instead, and got his PhD in Entomology (bugs). Dad's desk was always full of all sorts of tweezers/forceps, mounting pins and various tiny figurines of tiny bugs and such. Dad spent many, many hours at this old oak desk. It's solid oak and I've yet to see any nails in its construction. What there is is a LOT of "tongue in groove" work. It makes it that much dearer to my heart, as even the stain finish, on the edge of the top of it, is worn off and reveals the soft glow of the oak beneath it. Today, I found one more exhilarating secret of this fine old desk. I placed the woofer of my Bose audio system on the floor beneath this desk and it now sounds like an absolute concert hall, here in my office!!! It's almost like this desk has sprung to musical life, like it never has before!!! :awww::listening::cheer: Dad, I hope you're listening. :winky::heartbeat: ~Theo~ :bouquet: |
My old doggy and all his luvs.

Happy memories of my mom...
We’ve been dealing with her dying instead of remembering her at her best. I’m glad to finally be in a place where I can think of her and smile... |
knowing hy will be home tomorrow! :cheer:

I was able to get several videos of a momma hummingbird as she defended the feeder and groomed herself as she perched next to it. She is soooo tiny yet so fierce.

Receiving my new soaps in the mail!
|
the look on my students faces when I waited for the last one to arrive (it was a very rainy day) and I promptly closed the door. As I was closing the door I said "ok, everybody clear your desks. Take out a sheet of paper, and a pen or a pencil". hehehe I might be slightly sadistic because when I turned around and saw all of their faces: pale, jaw-dropped, I couldn't help but chuckle because I was once in that position.
