She's going to love that sweater! Sorry about your no-fly issue but is Piper's dad a pilot? I noticed the ear phones on Piper. I wish I had a neighbor like yours! What a lovely man to share all of that produce and beautiful blooms. Have a great weekend and Happy Anniversary to you 2 lovebirds!

I really enjoyed it.<br /><br />Good to see your health is improving on meds and I pray it's still the case and the doc says it's ok to fly see your girls. :)<br />The flowers you call mums we all dahlias.

From where we sat at receptiom we could see Mt Hood and looked so pretty at sunset. Of course I left my zoom lens home. Oh well. Do some things at home and get groceries once I figure out what I need Hopefully Dr. will let you fly soon to see family. Happy weekend my friend.

The fires are a little worrying I pray that they manage to get them under control and there is no further damage. You are certainly blessed with a wonderful friend to share all that produce, its lovely to be able to store things away for the Winter a beautiful taste of summer through the winter months. Take care and enjoy the extra time with Dennis, have a wonderful anniversary.mamasmercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011278973985658118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-56011909842616414542016-08-26T20:38:12.848-05:002016-08-26T20:38:12.848-05:00Hello my friend!

I would be amazed if she did not become a pilot after her upbringing. I hope you can fly to see your girls very soon. I'm very impressed with all the blankets you and your friends have made.

I'm so glad you are able to enjoy it, and I love your plan for Dennis's three day weekends, and your plan to celebrate your 38th wedding anniversary...so much to celebrate! Piper is starting learning to be an internet shopper early :) and is getting an appreciation for the wonders one can see while flying at an early age as well! The flowers you were given are so pretty and it is great that you are able to preserve so much fresh food from the garden. I can't remember if I told you the girls in our household canned strawberry and raspberry jam last week, but we did, and even Joy and Rosie helped put the berries in bowls and mashed them! Happy stitching and healing until you can fly again xxxxxxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-83104094803131234572016-08-26T19:39:19.510-05:002016-08-26T19:39:19.510-05:00Your photo at the lake is relaxing, so I can imagi...Your photo at the lake is relaxing, so I can imagine how wonderful it is to have that view all day.<br /><br />It is wonderful when neighbor's share their garden produce.

The garden sure will be happy with cooler temps. Love the blankets you've been knitting; I am sure they will be appreciated and put to good use. How long have you had tachycardia? I had it first at the age of six and it's persisted off and on over the years. Hope yours continues to stay under control! Have a great weekend.Judy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591607125583963544noreply@blogger.com
