You'll be leaving soon on your cross-country trip and I hope to goodness all goes well for you guys! We're heading for the volcanic eruption, be there tomorrow. Sun just came out - hooray. Been in cloudy/rainy/foggy weather for quite a while. Good for both you and Mo with your creative endeavors.Nickie and Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566506168550004304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-71698477694873656932022-08-04T19:46:37.542-07:002022-08-04T19:46:37.542-07:00You're certainly not the only one who's ha...You're certainly not the only one who's having kerfuffles. I can't say I'm a big believer in planets causing problems but there are like 6 planets in retrograde right now. For our trip to Italy, so far we've had the Icelandic volcano erupt, a monkeypox pandemic, and a Lufthansa strike. Glad your slide is okay!!MelodyAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602809698740572607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-70479959333474189102022-08-04T17:10:12.762-07:002022-08-04T17:10:12.762-07:00That has to be hard with so little water at your n...That has to be hard with so little water at your new home. Love your flower beds and WOW--Mo built a water wheel. When installing fiber optic to our house, the orange conduit pipe came on huge metal spools. Mike asked one of the crew if he could have one of those spools. One afternoon two guys came driving up to the house with a spool for Mike--he was so excited. I have no artistic talent when it comes to drawing or painting--I think all three of you did a marvelous job!Janna and Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591282756244454689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-54372551336332833552022-08-04T15:10:54.951-07:002022-08-04T15:10:54.951-07:00I love when you paddle.

Very zen gravel around the tree. Plus meditation trimming the thyme. Nice. My mom had three old clocks that were cleaned almost every year. The repair guy came to her house and it was fascinating to watch, especially resetting the pendulums on her grandfather clock. Mo's clock is a beauty. Better that than replace the fridge. Sometimes a small fan inside the freezer keeps the air moving. Works in my camper. I love the varied interpretation of each beautiful painting. But would be bummed if I didn't have time for my pizza. You can have my wine. You and Mo are both so creative, in different ways. Nice treat to the coast to cool off a bit, even for a couple days. I really am in need of an ocean fix. Meeting with good friends makes our families bigger. You had a busy month.Gaelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784162697113288888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-84830862112707326642022-08-04T09:46:13.490-07:002022-08-04T09:46:13.490-07:00We do pack up and travel for 2 or 3 nights at a ti...We do pack up and travel for 2 or 3 nights at a time and have even been known to do so for one night. But we are used to it, and it is nothing like the planning you have to do for a long trip. Mo isn't from Ohio. She was born in North Dakota, raised on the Columbia River in far northern Oregon, moved to California to teach. It was there she met the Hunsaker family, who then relocated to Ohio. So you didn't know because she wasn't from Ohio!

Great pictures. Love seeing the water western style. Not so glad to hear about how hard it is to deal with the heat and dryness of summer there. Because of all my problems over the last 8 months, it’s been ages since I’ve been kayaking. I have the boat but here it’s all white water. Not for me. I have enough scary in my life just with Winnona on the roads around here. I love the picture of your porch deck. Such an inviting space. So glad to hear the fire was contained but so many resources required due to carelessness and a lack of caring by our society for those less fortunate. <br /><br />I laughed at checking a project off a list – me too – I’m a list maker and checking things off is so satisfying. I seriously envy your thyme. I can only imagine the smell. How glorious! It’s beautiful!! Also envy you the patience to change computers – TWICE! While I’m ashamed to admit it, I am glad I’m not the only one having one thing after another need repair. So glad your fridge decided to repair itself. What a beautiful clock. I have an heirloom clock from the late 1800’s that sometimes works perfectly and then the pendulum stops even though it has not run down. $450 to fix it? I’m afraid that won’t fit in my budget. <br /><br />Love Mo’s waterwheel. She’s amazing. She and David have a lot in common being able to make anything they choose. Your beach trip looks perfect. Though I cannot imagine packing up and traveling for only two nights. Seems like too much work especially alone. I didn’t know Mo was from Ohio? Or did I? What fun to meet old cherished friends and how lucky their dad to have his family to rally round him in his loss. The loneliness the worst. Sorry for my blabber fingers.
