Going Forward

 

I've posted this particular quote before.  But, I refer to it again and again when things don't always go as planned.  This past week has been nice, having gotten away, yet not without problems. I guess Jim and I are getting old, because we are both having a few health issues.  We'll live, but not feeling totally up to ourselves the last few days.  And then this blog thing.  I feel as though I've lost a bit of myself after finding out that most of my pictures are gone.  So, slowly I will start building my memories and thoughts again.  I'll take the best of what I have..try and restore it and let the rest go.  Just like Goethe's Mother, "if it is too heavy, I go round it." 

So slowy, the black squares where pictures used to be will disappear.

The Getaway

I'm still upset about the pictures missing on my blog.  So, Jim said lets get out of here.. off we went and saw the beautiful fall colors.

 

Everywhere we drove the colors were amazing.

 

 

  We ended up in Colorado,  in a lovely little town.  And who do you think showed up?

 

 

Nick!!  It was fun to see  him and spend some time with him!

My Blog Pictures have disappeared, What do I do?

Help!!!

I looked at my blog this morning and most of my pictures had been taken somewhere.  I don't know where or how to get them back.  This is my journal/scrapbook since 2007.  It is how I keep track of what's going on in my family and how I feel about nature, my kids, my grandchildren, my husband, my life.  I say a lot with my pictures.  I am heartsick.  If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.  Thank you..www.facebook.com

September Evening

After a busy day with three busy boys, it's nice to come home and read in my garden. 
A lovely September evening.

 

Wandering the streets of Spring City

 

We spent a perfect day with our friends, Teri and Dale, wandering around the streets of Spring City, Utah.  Seeing the lovely old homes, visiting with the city's many artists, and of course, taking pictures of their gardens. 

We caught the beautiful blooms just as summer turns to fall.

 

The hollyhocks were everywhere.

We certainly found it in Spring City.
