Autumn Has Arrived. . .

I love the fall/autumn.  I love seeing all the colors of the leaves, it is all so beautiful and peaceful.

The forest floor down by the creek.

And, of course, the mushrooms.  We do not eat, I do not touch...

ah, the mountain side is a beautiful place to be.

Oh My Dearest, Lydia

She had to have received a visit from 'The Donald'.

Here hat/head-dress looks like a bird nested in it.

Lydias' legs are not like they were yesterday.

She is looking a tad on the side of confused.

But then ...she whispered in his ear ~ Exactly Odo Quasi Moto

lol

and, then we hugged.  We are kind of like two of a kind ~ and it is great fun on the mountain side.  Lydia, is a very good Prine friend of mine.

Family

My stepson and our granddaughter - oh yes, and of course, the beautiful dog.  We had a nice time on their recent visit.  Kids and dogs are great fun!

Kids In The Kitchen

My granddaughter and I - kids in the kitchen making French Fried Casserole!

Great Fun we had on her recent visit.

Amazing. . .

Over four years ago, I lost my billfold.  It did not contain any money.  It contained a receipt from Home Hardware, my bank card, and my drivers' license.  

When I realized I had lost/misplaced my identification - I cancelled all.  

Yesterday, when I arrived home from the market, I find on my outdoor table, my billfold.  All, just the way I left/lost it.

Included in that billfold was my Prine ticket stub for Vancouver, May 5th, 2012.  I met my Prine friend, Naj and her husband, Brett.  We had a great time and many, many giggles.

There are some humans that are still human.  Believe right from wrong.

To those, I thank you for being alive.  Prine On. . .

My Grandsons and I.

We had a great time, a great visit, and they say they will return again next year.  I feed them well.  Bean Casserole, French Fried Casserole, Sweet and Sour Pork, and always a given Pop Tarts!

I love these guys, they are very special to me.

Holy Smucksville, I never knew ...

The other day, my noisemaker noticed a heron on our neighbors' roof.  I ran into get the camera.  Above is the landing...heron is not sure. . .

The heron is certainly sure now.  Here it is on the peak of the roof, doing a fine number.  I never knew when I took the photo what the heron was doing.  I had a great laugh when I downloaded and saw the picture.  

...Have you ever noticed when your are feeling really good

There's always a pigeon that'll come and sh*t on your hood...

John Prine - Some Humans Ain't Human

In the case of the heron - There's always a heron that'll come and sh*t on your roof...some humans ain't human. . .

ah, too funny!

Truly, this would only happen to me.  Yesterday, I went for a short road trip, off the mountain side to a city.  I was glad to be invited by my friend and enjoyed the company.

We waltzed on in to the big box store, I shopped.  Picking up a few things - not overspending because I know Noisemaker will be shopping there next month.  

I am standing in line waiting to go through the check out ... smucksville, suddenly I feel great pain in my rib area.  A wayward, non watching customer at the big box store has just slammed me with a buggy.  I have never been slammed before (with a buggy).  

I placed my hand around my left rib...curse words, that ramming of the buggy hurt!  The fellow approaches me and extends his words of sorry...and are you okay - do you need first aid - help?  I will be fine, accidents happen.

Today, of course, is much different story.  My word, does it hurt to giggle and laugh.  This, I truly do not enjoy.  In time - all will heal.

After that - eh, we went for french fries - pure delight!

Big Ugh, Big Ouch, and of course John Prine!

Yes, big (curse word) ugh and big (curse word) ouch.

Eczema has arrived due to stress.  I must learn to leave behind unnecessary worry and fret, continue on with what makes me happy.

The events of the last two months certainly have had a combination of various stress levels on me. 

Visiting my family up north was one - for the love of god - anytime one visits family it is a stressful time.

Secondly was visiting the lower drainland of British Columbia.  Smucksville, it is wild down there and I clearly see/understand why it is a great life to live on the mountain side.

My noisemaker recently turned 70!  A milestone birthday for sure - any birthday is a milestone.  1946 was a good birth year for sure - John Prine, Linda Ronstadt and my noisemaker - hahaha!

No stress was caused by seeing John Prine - in concert - on July 9th at the Vogue - lol - it was stress release time.

As for the eczema - doc calls this raw eczema - whereby the skin is upset and burst like a super nova.  

Well, eczema - please burst the heck off my body, go find someone else, and let me Prine On!

We All Prine On. . .
