Pretty Floor

I love these kinds of floors. So warm. So cabin-y.

I Love Columbine

Isn't this yellow one gorgeous?!! (from the patio garden of my friend, Jan-in-Denver)

Sunflowers on the farm.

I love this rustic rendition! September, 2008. Lexington, Missouri.

The Couple

What a great Thanksgiving! What a great couple! It was our first visit with Scott and Nancy since their engagement. We celebrated by eating all week! I love taking their picture. They glow! I'm grateful for my son, Scott, and for Nancy, who makes him happy.

Home Sweet Home

This is our third home in 16 months. It was the first one we found in the classifieds. After looking at a few others (which weren't bad), we scarfed it up. Three small bedrooms, one car garage, covered patio, fenced in yard, decent kitchen, large living room, no indoor steps. We have trees, curbs and sidewalks. I'm happy. Don't know if the fireplace works. No AC but lots of houses here don't have AC. Maybe it's not that hot in the summer. We'll find out. I'm grateful for this house.

The Falls in Fall

A new friend at our new church encouraged me to walk with her on the Snake River Green Belt. I call it the loop. She gushes over the daily kaleidoscope of life, light and color. I bring my camera and am rewarded with scenes of life, light and color - all in downtown Idaho Falls. I'm grateful.

Sharp as a tack!

I was blessed to visit with Mary last week. She celebrated her 99th birthday last spring. What a lovely lady and "sharp as a tack" as they say. I am motivated to continue my "be a healthy 90-year-old" routine. God bless you, Mary, and thanks for being a role model!
