Day 247...A Special Place
Day 247
Wyandotte County Lake will always be a special place to me.
Picnic's when I was young and
sooo many drives around the lake with friends and just hanging out..
Sledding on "the Hill" too!
I might've even watch a submarine race (or two) here.. :)
Today I took a fun drive around the lake with one of my bff's, Vickie!
(yes, I'm lucky enough to say I have more than one bff)
Having a best friend, and if your lucky like me, having a handful of them, is such a gift...
As different as we all are,
we are so much alike and always there for each other!
Girlfriends are the best!!!
Just a couple of shots I took today..
Mostly it was a drive around the lake just gossiping and having fun! :)
What a BEAUTIFUL afternoon!
What a BEAUTIFUL afternoon!
the drive around the lake is so serene and beautiful...I love this place
Day 246...What's For Dinner!
Day 246
After a full days work and shopping with my oldest daughter, Kaley
I made it home exactly 13 hours from when I left the house...
Long day, but fun!
Dinner at Red Robin.
Fast (well maybe not,) but easy and a decent salad!
Home to watch more Mad Men!
We are hooked on that show and have 4 more seasons to catch up on!!
YAAAY for Netflix!
Day 245...Destructing Beauty... :(
Day 245
When I visited my mom today I saw that this is now what's left of
the beautiful little field of wild sunflowers I took a photo of a week ago.
It made me sad to see that one more little bit of nature's wildflowers
had been ripped up and discarded.
Several years ago when I lived in Texas,
I had an elderly neighbor who told me even though her
husband just hated the Dandelions and flowering weeds that she always looked at them
as God's gift to us..."Freebies" as she called them!
I have many memories of her even though I only knew her for a few short years.
It's amazing the impact people have on us and sometimes we don't realize it till much later.
Today, Friday, September 21
Last Friday, September 14
although this is a closeup the entire little hillside was covered
in these wild Sunflowers one week ago today.

Day 244...Sweet!!! :)
Day 244
It's so true...
Sometimes the smallest things mean the most...
My husband knows I love Oreos...(he does too)
He also knows I LOVE Candy Corn and always look forward
to devouring a sack (or two) when Fall arrives!
Yesterday, while listening to the radio,
he heard the disc jockeys talking about the new Oreo/Candy Corn Cookies
and stopped on his way home from work to buy me some...
After hitting three stores with no luck he came on home
but he did tell me about them!!!
Little did I know that today he actually called the radio station to ask where he could find them..
Guess what he brought home to me today! :)
Day 243...Daylight Dwindles
Day 243
Another day of work..
Another day of a solo photo...
Another day of wishing I had more time in the day...
Just another day of life...
And as the saying goes...
Life is Good!
