My Grandpa (one of my favorite relatives!) visited us this weekend. We always go to Lino's when he is here, it's his favorite place in town. Our family has been going there for at least 30 years!

Day 195

This is the little kitty cat that has been seen around the house and yard lately.
It decided to hang out and pose for me a little!

Pretty flower peeking through an old-school white picket fence.
I just saw it walking Elphie this morning and thought it was too pretty. =-)

Day 187

My new bracelet I made myself =-)

Day 186

Meet Pete.
I was hesitant to use him for my pic today... but nothing else inspired me!
I couldn't tell if he was dead or not. He did move when I walked by him, so I took his picture.
Only later did I notice the position he was in, and how sad he looked.
So Pete, even if you have passed on - you can now live forever in the blog!
(and you can thank Emmy for talking me into using Pete for today!)

Day 185

So, I was watching Hoarders today, and I decided to get some stuff cleaned out of our basement... I found this sun/moon candle holder set that I was thinking about oh, a month or so ago. I assumed it was lost forever in the move, but I found it today!!! I'm so excited it's still around!

Day 184
