Memorial Day Weekend

has become known for yard / garage sales, and flea markets, so my Junkin' antenna's were up as we drove around the neighborhood! 
Found a few treasures, but at the moment I'll picture the  cute little Doll Shop picture puzzle I found put together and framed in a neighbor's yard, best of all it was free! Thanks Jill, sooo Cute!

Remembering our Military

The Path of the Warrier

I ask only that each of you take a few minutes to watch this video and read with great appreciation the various quotations overlaid on the photos.  And then perhaps you might find just a few seconds, during what I hope will be a wonderful weekend for you and your family, to remember our military past and present and most importantly how they and their family and friends have sacrificed so that we may all enjoy our freedoms.

My Photos

While looking back through my files, I kept finding photos

I have taken through the years and thought I would share some of them.

I'll add more as I find them!

My little tabby cat Tigre in 1996, she's

still with us, not the mouser she used to be,

but life is still good!
-------------------------
I'm sad to say, 3 weeks after I posted
this favorite picture of Tigre, she developed kidney
disease and was in a lot of pain.
We had to make the decision to have her
put to sleep.
We still feel her presence in the house,
and probably will for some time!

A vintage Royal typewriter in front

of an old movie reel box reflected in the mirror on the side.

Taken in an antique store.

Handyman husband entered his Town and Country Woody 

in a car show last year, didn't win any prize, 

but it was an honor to get in.

Great sunset!

Borrego Springs in March

Matilija Poppy

My husband took this photo with his cell phone, he discovered them
growing on the slopes along a bike trail in So. California.

Wisteria

Wisteria along side of the garage always spectacular
this time of year in California.

The top pix had a little help from Photoshop!

Camellia

This southern belle has a long history,

 dating back to before the civil war!

Do you suppose the famous line in "Gone With The Wind",

"frankly Scarlett, I don't give a damn" was because 

Scarlett wanted Rhett to water her camellias!  ;)

All kidding aside, they do well in and mild to warm climates,

we have them in California. The picture of the Frank Hauser is 

from a friend's garden and the one's below are from my yard.
