Day 252...On Our Way

Day 252

Tonight is the first night of a fun weekend!

Washington High School, Class of  1977, 35 year reunion!

On our way to Danny's Bar and Grill at the Legends for the Friday night get together.

This was the gorgeous view we enjoyed while heading 

West on Hwy 152 out of Liberty, MO.

Sure wish I'd been on a beach or the top of mountain viewing this sunset

but it's beautiful nonetheless!

Day 251...Purrfect!

Day 251

Some things just go together well...

These two photos are a "Puuurrrrrfect" example!

Michi defends herself by saying...

"I am sweet, you know I am...I just don't like that other cat you brought home"

I tell her..."that was seven years ago...get over it..." 

I don't think she understands...:)

Day 250...A Treat At the Arch!

Day 250

Went to Lawrence today after work to have a little time with my kids and grandson.

It was short...but sweet!

Always makes me happy to see my babies..big and little...:)

Took this photo when I stopped for a dipped cone treat for the ride home!

You know they say the new dipped cones are for a limited time only.

It will be a sad day when their time is up.

You did good with this one, McDonalds! :)

Day 249...Beers And Deers... :)

Day 249

Took a tour of Boulevard Brewery with some photography club members today.

I always find the history of small business success interesting. uplifting and so promising.

The owner has a great story of his beginnings!

Industrial type photography isn't really my thing though...

I just wasn't into it.

BUT, the beer was good and the company great!!!

Afterwards took a drive around the lake and caught some sweet things munching on their dinner.

Very very sad to see them so thin and scrawny.

The drought has hurt our wildlife terribly. :(

Behind the bar!

Day 248...Late Season Hummer

Day 248

Even though it's late in the season and the Hummers are nearly gone, I finally 

remembered to try a trick suggested to me by a friend.

Wear a red t-shirt out by your feeders and then 

try to train the Hummers to sit on your fingers!

Well, for now, all I want is to be close enough to get a good photo 

and not have them be scared away!

I'd say the red shirt worked!

I just wish I'd had a minute or so to settle in and get my camera settings in order!

This little gal flew in within 30 seconds of me stepping out onto my porch, 

I wasn't quite prepared and ended up with a not so crisp and clear photo...

I'm so excited though that they showed no sign of fear

with me being so close! This one was about 3 ft away from me.

But they didn't come back again after this photo either.

It was late though...maybe tomorrow and definitely I will try again next season!

It will be here before I know it!

Another one of Gods "Freebies"

A pretty little weed I found growing out along my fence line this evening.

I didn't pull it.

Zinnia...pretty again...same plant I took a burnt shot of a while back.

Day 247...A Special Place

Day 247

Wyandotte County Lake will always be a special place to me.

Picnic's when I was young and

sooo many drives around the lake with friends and just hanging out..

Sledding on "the Hill" too!

I might've  even watch a submarine race (or two) here.. :)

Today I took a fun drive around the lake with one of my bff's, Vickie! 

(yes, I'm lucky enough to say I have more than one bff)

Having a best friend, and if your lucky like me, having a handful of them, is such a gift...

 As different as we all are,

we are so much alike and always there for each other! 

Girlfriends are the best!!! 

Just a couple of shots I took today..

Mostly it was a drive around the lake just gossiping and having fun! :)
What a BEAUTIFUL afternoon!

the drive around the lake is so serene and beautiful...I love this place

Day 246...What's For Dinner!

Day 246

After a full days work and shopping with my oldest daughter, Kaley

I made it home exactly 13 hours from when I left the house...

Long day, but fun!

Dinner at Red Robin.

Fast (well maybe not,) but easy and a decent salad!

Home to watch more Mad Men!

We are hooked on that show and have 4 more seasons to catch up on!!

YAAAY for Netflix!
