Random Week Photos

I can hear Sedona!!! When I'm in beautiful Sedona, I enjoy the sound of wind chimes, pipe wind chimes. That place and that sound just go together for me and I love it. Well, I found my own pipes this week and it was so timely since we've had some windy and breezy days.

I love it when I receive a cell phone pic from a kiddo...even if it is of their cat.
Hello Big Margot. She's a tank! A beautiful tank though. And a rescue cat at that
...yeah for rescue animals.

What a joy when a son flies into town for a business meeting and I get to see him. It was all too brief but it was time with a great son.

Another joy is seeing these beautiful flowers blooming in the neighborhood
while on my morning walk.

These are the cookies I baked when above son Andy came to town. He flew in but drove a newly purchased car back home to Utah so of course there had to be some Grammy cookies to take to the grands with enough for on-the-road-nibbling. Recipe here.

And some bread, freshly baked to take back too...this is in the rising stage.

Candle holders I found thrifting this week.

I now have pillar candles on them and it looks much better.

This photo is at my sister Jody's blog and I love it.
I know she won't mind if I snag it and share here.
I love the messages here.

I don't know why I've felt guilty for not blogging more, just silly isn't it. Hope this will give you sweet family something to look at and remember me. Sent with love...

Rather Random

This one's for you Andy. When I was last at the cannery in Mesa I spotted this volunteer. You can guess why can't you...he's wearing a Spooner shirt. He told me he lived in Hawaii for years and these shirts were his everyday wear. We chatted briefly about how fun, durable and easy care they are and he let me snap a pic with the old cell phone just for you.

I'm learning how to walk with weights on my ankles. I have to pick my feet up a tad bit more. The first day the weights wore a nasty sore on the back of my ankle so I've learned to wear socks that come up higher than the weights. Sometimes I keep them on after I get home and make house cleaning and yard work a little more of a workout. You can tell I look really snazzy walking around the neighborhood!!!

Lastly, when it was all sunny and warm last week I purchased this umbrella stand. My it's come in handy. You know me and the blue thing.
It's still chilly here but the sun is shining and that makes such a big difference. I hope you have a good day and can enjoy even the random things today. I know we can all count our blessings and be gentle and loving to one another.
