Wildflower Walk

I love taking my camera for a walk because I notice so many more things.  I took these pictures of wildflowers growing along the side of the road last night.

New Look

This background seems to work better. I'll try it for awhile.  

Planted these impatiens yesterday.  Our campsite is very shady so my choice of flowers is pretty limited.  My sister, Sally, gave me the white ones and I bought the red ones so didn't have to spend too much money.  Yay!

Darn!

I fiddled around with the new blogger templates and, now, I can't figure out how to go back to my original!  I've tried everything!  Except, of course, the right thing! 

I like it for Dottie's Birthday because I changed the text to white but, with the dark background, I'd have to go to each post that originally had black text and change them all!  No way am I going to do that for over 500 posts!

I'll keep trying but am getting pretty frustrated!

Dottie's Birthday

We had delicious food: potato and beet salad, cucumber and tomato sandwiches, and, behind the stack of plates, cream cheese with a hot pepper relish.

Exquisite pomegranate martinis with blueberries and blackberries.  Such a treat!

Lots of colorful presents and a lemon cake with crystalized rose petals on top made by Yvonne from her wild rose bushes.

And the birthday girl with her daughter-in-law, Odalis, who is from Panama and who sang a beautiful Spanish song for Dottie and made us all tear up.

Mother's Day

Little bits from the cards I got.

Finally!

Here are a few pictures from Memorial Day weekend.  Kylie just loves the monkey bars.

This is Ryan "driving" the golf cart.

It's Back!

Yes, it only took a week!  I'll be back over the weekend to update everything!  I haven't even had time to go through my pictures, yet.
