Such fun my hubby had one June weekend, where he was one place and I was another, sometimes it is nice to see different things, so I'm sharing what he visited with you, he has a best friend (the best man in our wedding in Nov 2004) and he goes to see him and his family as often as he can in North Carolina. They took a boat out and enjoyed these sights, figured you might enjoy seeing them as much as I did.



I will give you bits of mine, but no pics were taken, I was hanging out with my Mom going to a retirement party, doing errands, helping home out at her home, Dad didn't wish to go to the party, he was staying home in his recliner ...actually he was helping out by doing the "water closets", do you call them that? how do you refer to them as "water closets"? Good food, grape juice (use in place of Champagne) & good memories. Mom was shocked she didn't know more folks but it was fun to see their home and celebrate a new journey in their lives (we were celebrating a home team, 2 ladies and one gentleman). Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are well. Beth ( ;

I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you
