Summer happenings

Hello fellow loggers,
Today was a good day. I went swimming! I love going swimming! I got to go with some of my family.  I especially love swimming when the water isn't freezing cold. My favorite pool was closed today though, and that is usually the perfect temperature in the summer. Apparently it is closed every Thursday for cleaning. Next time I won't go on Thursday.

My poor RB is sick and I am not near him to take care of him! I know he will be ok, but i would rather be by him to make sure he is ok.... I'm glad that I left nyquil down there. I miss him so much! 

This summer has been different, I feel like I'm back in college. I have my sister and her best friend living here with me and my husband is usually here on the weekends. So during the weekdays, its  just like I have roommates again.

My brother and some of his roommates came over this evening. We played a couple of games while we waited for my brothers laundry to get done. It was pretty fun! They are fun to hang out with.
I can't believe it is already Thursday, basically Friday! Geez! This summer is flying by way to fast. It has been a hot summer so far too. I can't believe how many fires are raging across the state! I really hope all the fire fighters are getting enough sleep, if I had an rv, I would donate it to them, during this fire season,so they could have a nicer place to sleep and shower!  I saw this picture of a bunch of fire fighters just sleeping at the end of a cul de sac, near one of the fires.

Well it is time to go to sleep.
Bye

Love this

Beware of first picture on my link ( just shows a lot of skin and some(lots) cleavageish) ........sorry, but the other pictures were just so good not to share!

This is just so beautifully done! I just had to share! Beware, Of the first picture though, not for kids eyes.......

The last photo on the page is definately how I feel most the time!

Crazy adventure

So last Friday morning RB called me with a bizarre  request. He had decided that he wanted to go and drive up to Oregon for the weekend......He had basically already made up his mind, so I was to tag along or not. Me being a big worry wort decided to tag along.

On our way through Idaho, we saw a bunch of wild fires. We stayed in Boise ID for the first night of our trip

The light house at Astoria, OR
This town is the oldest town west of the Mississippi river

I wanted to take a picture of the blue bush :) This is also in Astoria.

In Astoria,  by a big anchor.

There is a light house buoy (spelling)

RB and I both standing by the big anchor, I had been in a car all day and no makeup, still in pj shorts......so I really think I look stupid in this pic.

This light house was really tall, pictures just don't do it justice.

you could take the stairs up to the top of this, I only made it 3/4th's of the way. I got tired and chickened out. I am pretty scared of heights

After Astoria we drove down the Oregon coast for a little bit and then headed inland into Salem, and we stayed the night in Eugene OR. This is the next day, we went to crater lake and finally got some use out of our annual national park pass.

Yes, I am still in my pj shorts...........I was really tired and just didn't care. Although I did change into jeans because it was super cold here.

as you can see, super cold and still tones of snow!

This is the actual crater lake. It is the deepest lake in the US and it wasn't formed by a crater. It was formed by a collapsed volcano

This is an awful pic, but yes, we went to San Fransisco also! We wanted to go a different way home, this has the lights of a bridge in it. One of the only ones we got in San Fransisco because it got so foggy and misty!

Another terrible picture, but this is of the bay bridge

Wendover NV

I decided to use a dollar and gamble.....ha ha ha ha.....I won two dollars, but didn't think it was worth cashing it out so, I just used it all up. I didn't ever expect to win anything :)

The Utah tree, it was on the other side of the interstate, so we weren't really able to stop

So that was our quick and also long trip (because it felt long with so many hours we spent in the car) to Oregon and then onto California

If we did a road trip like this again, I would definitely plan it out better and I would only like to drive up to maybe 8 hours a day!

My legs got so sore from attempting to go up that light house, that I wobbled the rest of the weekend. I should have stretched after I got to the bottom of it. I would have liked to see more light houses also, because I really only got to see one.


Whew, what a trip!

Howdy

So my blog titles seem to always seem to be hi or howdy;-) lets see what has been going on lately. I ate terrible yesterday and probably did to much, so I have been pretty tired today.  I went  to the library yesterday, and the post office....i  also had to go to a store and buy a new sheet..... My favorite got a hole in it...... It is a bit weird that it got a hole in it, too much time sleeping, or maybe I roll around too much? 

It is late, but I haven't really tried to go to bed, I probably should now......

I should write more so I can remember what I do..... Because I can't think of what has been going on for the past couple of weeks..
