Patches

We have a new cat.  Her name is Patches.  What is more adorable than kids and pets?

I love the shirt - Trouble Finds Me.

A gift from Morgan's Godfather, John Williams.

What could be more cozy - 

a bean bag, blanket, and my cat.

Patches sleeps in Morgan's space helmet.

Cats!  In!  Space!

These two are inseparable!

Aww!

Crazy straw glasses, ski hat, and cat.

Picnic on the Mountain

One sunny day we thought we would ride the gondola to the top of Baldy Mountain for a picnic.

Chicken and smoothies.  Yumm-o.  Check out that view!

After lunch we hiked a bit to see what we could see.

We saw lots of these sweet butterflies, but they looked

to be stuck in the mud.  : (

Here's Morgan, pretending to be a pioneer woman at

her new homestead.

Back to the gondola for the ride back down.

John and Morgan

Brenda and Morgan

Riding back down, gorgeous!

Back to school

Who remembers school lunches?  Sometimes my mom used to put a note in my lunch that said "I love you".  Morgan can't read yet, so maybe I can make a note with a heart and a smiley face.  

Before and After - Dining Room Cabinet

This was the cabinet we wanted for our dining room.  Lucky we measured first - it wouldn't fit!  So our builder offered to make one for us.

They gutted the wall and surrounding beam.

They plastered and made everything look clean again.

I will admit it didn't look very promising at first.

Soon it started to look like it should.

Finished!  

I like it even better than the original.

Last Night in Sun Valley

Look closely and you will see a double rainbow!  We had crazy thunderstorms roll in and everything smelled so fresh and clean.

The lupins are in full bloom, they surround our house.

We had a visitor.  A deer found his way to our barn.

Here you can see Morgan going down to investigate.  Luckily deer ran away before she arrived!

Congratulations Morgan!

Today was the last day of school!  Hooray!  I sent this picture to my brother and sister.

20 minutes later, my talented sister Karen sent me this digitally enhanced version.  See more of her work at Vintage Findings
