Monday Moments - Iceland Surprise

Surprise, I've been in Iceland.  Today, Ray and I return.  I am, no doubt, jetlagged.

and I have laundry to do, groceries to shop for, and I am jetlagged.   I got these two photos off the internet, just as a teaser. 
 

Once I'm settled in,  I shall bore you folks with my real photos and descriptions. 

I have to say when we booked this, it was on a "what the heck" whim.  We did not research that October is the super rainy month.  And fairly cold (like 40s plus some wind chill).   Ray and I were in  shorts in Texas as we packed for adventure hiking. 

Stories to tell gang.  Just give me a second to settle in. 

Enjoy a spooky Halloween week

Finally Friday - forever

I appreciate my blog friends and we do live on in our writings


 October, birthday month, is a time of a lot of reflection.   I love Winnie the Pooh and Piglet

Go hug someone today and enjoy your weekend

Whatever Wednesday - an Oh Dad moment


 I'm on hiatus and adventure.  But I put these posts together ahead of time. 

Let's have a flashback to my Dad.   He's been gone two years now. 

I missed him on my birthday, and many other days. 

Sigh

Monday Moments - Birthday cousins - flashback


 Mark and I were born four days apart.  Our mothers were in the same hospital room.  My birthday was Thursday the 8th, Mark's is today.  Here we are with our great grandmother. 

Ancient history. 

We stay in touch now via Facebook. He and his wife have been in Oregon, but I think they are now in AZ with grandkids.  

Flashback Fun
