Friends,Trail Cam Fun, and a Quilty Box Drawing!

20170624_141204
I knew it would happen!

Our drawing time last night was interrupted by a raucous round of FARKLE with friends Rick & Mona after a wonderful meal, lots of visiting and catching up,

It had been MONTHS since we had been able to get together since we now live an hour apart.

Beanie and Sadie, reunited!!

“Why are we stuck out on the porch, Mom??”  Because it was a beautiful day and you had all of the comforts of dogdom out there at your paw-tips.

The BBQ pot roast had been cooking all day in the crock pot. Roasted red potatoes, carrots and onions were baking in the oven, corn on the cob was being prepared, with fresh watermelon on the side.  Cake had been baked to be served with sliced strawberries for dessert all while the guys were outside handling this:

4 walls up!  Siding going on!

3 men, 4 walls and a bunch of power tools.

It was a happy sound on the mountain!

And there is more to share, but considering all of this activity and the fact that I skunked EVERYONE in a master round of Farkle leaving them in the dust - there is little need to explain why a drawing last night was relocated to this morning!


We’ll get that drawing done NOW!

I love knowing that part of the proceeds go to benefit kids.  To me that is a win/win all the way around!

We are loving June on the Mountain.  The first tie we saw this cabin was in the depths of December.  Watching the surroundings change with the changing of the seasons has been a beautiful experience of awareness.  Every time I come up here, things are just a bit different.

You know what else June brings?  Mamas and babies!  Check out the scenes caught on our trail cam:


These photos had us going "Awww!" to "Oh, my" and "WHAT?!?"

Wow! (in the velvet phase!)

"Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight!" *Singing*

My plan was to leave here this evening, but I just can’t make myself go.  One more night.  I’ll go home in the morning.

When you start believing in your own worth, what other people think really doesn't matter. You are of infinite worth, just as you are.

Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!

  1. Love reading about you and the adventure that is your life. And now I have that silly song stuck in my head... Saw KC back in the 70's, so know the music well.
    Have a great day!

  2. Is the deer actually white, or is it just the light?

    Enjoy your bonus day on the mountain. :)

  8. Thank you for sharing your trail cam photos. We have one set up on the hill of our property, we get very excited to see the variety of animals that are out and about when we are tucked up in bed. When we looked at it yesterday there were kangaroos, deer, wombat, possum, wild cat, rabbits and foxes. A busy little highway in the hills of Victoria, Australia.

  9. Congrats to the winner. Fun dancing deer. The Man shed is looking good. I know the feeling of not wanting to leave the mountains. Leavenworth was so nice this past weekend at Retreat. Perfect weather, great company.
