Really awesome skull made out of a log

We have had a great summer.We have had many opportunities this year, we have done a lot of activities with our family which includes camping, paddle boarding, and lots of trips to the lake with our sailboat. I even got to go to Colorado with my son and and several of my grandchildren to pick up my granddaughter and bring her home for a couple of weeks to spend with us. We have a few more trips planned for the summer . Wow how time flies.

Chicks and hens

I saw a really neat way of displaying chicks and hens. It was on a blog called Inspired by Charm. He made a vertical hanger out of wood. So I decided to make one too. It was fun to make. So here it is, I'm waiting a week or two before I hang it, so the roots can grow a little.

Fires All Over Utah

I'm looking out my front door and I see lots of smoke up in the mountains. It makes me sad to see this.

There has been so many fires this year it is kind of scary. I think we all should be very very careful with fireworks. I'm thinking maybe we should cancel them this year.

Hobie Sail Boat and Paddle Board

Hello again, It been a while since I posted anything. We have two new toys and we have been playing, and trying to learn how to use them. It's fun trying. It's a Hobie sailboat-kayak-pedal boat. Also a paddle board. It's going to be a great summer.

Moab

We just got back from Moab. We love it there. So much to do in town. We went four wheeling and hiking, and ate at many of the restauants they were all good but I love Pasta Jays the most. We have never gone to Fisher Towers before, and we were blown away with it's beauty. We also went to Dead Horse Point and was equally blown away with its beauty. We love to go to Red Cliffs Lodge, to the winery there, they have a really great gift shop and the best wine, it is more of a dessert wine, but very very good also love all their wine. We ate lunch there it is was amazing. Can't wait to go back!!

the orange color is so pretty

One day last week I  woke up and saw the sky. It was truly awesome. I jumped out of bed and took this picture from my bedroom window. It was about 6:15 a.m. in the morning. Simply beautiful!!!!

our casita

We went to Mexico for our anniversary and it was so wonderful. We stayed at a great resort called Eldorado Royale in a Casita The service there was so good I couldn't believe it. The room was so nice,it even had an outdoor shower.[which I used everyday]. The Food was unbelievable. Even on the beach they would bring around coconut ice cream and popsicles. We had a huge deck with a big day bed and table and chairs. On the beach we had ton of covered cabanas and lounge chairs as well. We hated to come home. Oh the best part was the weather  around 80 to 85 degrees, perfect for us. This is a trip I would love to take again.
