It's the "CraZy" little things in life that make living worth while. Live for today, cause the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and summer won't last forever .....

What a good party we had by the pond, everybody loved the ballons and my Honey had lots of fun, good music, good friends, and friendly neighorhood girl came with her hula-hoop and John gave it a whirl for fun! My best old school girl friend and her little daughter came to help with the fun. Happiness is all in one Picture... You are never to old to have fun!

Hoop de Hoop!! What a great looking party!!

 

[j.w]

Looks like you all had a blast! Back in the day I could really swing the hoops,not so much anymore

 

[callingcolleen1]

I surprised everyone when I picked up the hoop, I can still rotate that thing no problem, it's all in the hips! I used to have a hula hoop, and I should pick one up again cause it is good for the waist and a lot of fun! JW you may be surprised, if I can still do it, you may be able to still swing that hoop too!

I have never had that good hip wiggle................ too long of legs and very short waist.

I'd give it a try and I'm sure it would be good for you but afterwards I may need some Ibuprofen :claphands:

JW I get stiff and sore all the time, some days I think if I quit moving I will "cease up" ha ha ha

Yestesday was a nice day to sit by the pond with my mother. I made her a nice toasted cheese bagel with fresh tomato from garden, slice of onion, and turkey breast. She just loves the "bug free zone" I created this year, and so she relaxed, read the paper, had coffee and listened to the birds signs all afternoon...

You always have such beautifulicious photos of your oh so pretty ponds and gardens Colleen. Your mama looks happy to be there w/ you.

I may have to start carrying and oil can around w/ me in case I rust up too badly and yes its when you stop moving when things go bad. I walked 9 miles today.............not too bad for these matured bones of mine :cheerful:

And boy did I see some jumbo sized gorgeous rocks (man they were really boulders) today. This guy I met while trespassing down his road today showed me the nice ones he collected from up in the mountains around here. He had to get a permit to haul them outta there. We had a nice long talk standing on top of a big pile of crushed granite about his growing up on his property for 50 yrs since he was 14yrs old.

JW I love nice big bolders, the trouble is getting them home!

This is one of my favorite pictures this year..... the pond from a "Pepper" Mouse's point of view, I got him at the second hand store for only 25 cents, I did not see the white salt mouse. oh well now he is a "table garden mouse" ha ha ha!

 

[gardengirl]

What a nice looking pepper mouse. Does he sneeze a lot??

 

[callingcolleen1]

Ha ha ha, no pepper inside anymore, but I sure do like him sitting in my succulent pot!
