Hello September!

 And new blogger! My how time flies! August was a whirlwind month for me. I flew to Wyoming to help my mom as she was going to have shoulder surgery; was scheduled to be out there four weeks. She canceled her procedure and I came back to Maine after a week. She's feeling good she says and didn't want to chance surgery and recovery. Sooo, I came home and enjoyed some Jeep therapy and continue to stitch Light by Barbara Ann Designs. 

The time I got to spend out in WY with mom was filled with fun adventures, amazing landscape, seeing the town of Kemmerer(Home of JC Penny's), Fossil Butte National Monument, meeting Ellie Mae, cooking together, laughter, emotions - mother/daughter stuff.


My afternoon office mate as was still working - remotely 

 (Heaven help me with the new blogger format.... can't rearrange my pictures after they saved out of order ;/ )
In reverse....

Anxiously awaiting her doggie cone

You can see forever out there

Beautiful vistas

Fossel Butte


Old box cars that are being scrapped, down Skull Point Rd. Enjoyed the art of the graffiti. 





Ellie Mae is the co-pilot... i was in her seat. Moose is the navigator.

Mom showed me Devil's Slide on the way from Salt Lake City to her home.


We both noticed the big white rock just hanging out... some spring melt it will come sliding down.




Valet service at the Airport

Back in Maine.... spied this Eagelet and mature adult, hanging out at the lake. Just down the dirt road from the house.


Two days of Jeep trail riding!!




Fun on the wet trails, much needed rain kept the dust down!







Picked up a couple items at the junk shop up north in Abbott. A tolle painted tin from the Arlene Clinkman Studio, Marblehead,  Mass. And a signed handmade basket.




I worked on my little foxy lady during my travels






Had a boo-boo that I made up for in her hem.


Hubby brought in the first leaf of fall.

Reawakening my Jericho Rose, sending out the good vibes. Especially to those impacted by Hurricane Laura. My brother and his family have significant damage to their home and property.  Will be a very long process for recovery and restoration.  


Today at lunch progress (its taken me two days to post this!!!!)

Sorry for the long post, lots of pictures and scrambled at that. Got a few hikes coming  up AND the long awaited, rescheduled, post-poned Stitch-n-Bitch weekend with my BFF. Cross-stitch, rug hooking and quality girlfriend time. 

Making the best of these crazy times, helping where we can, 
finding simple joys around us.

Keep on stitching and hooking.

Looks like you had a great visit with your mom. So sorry about your brother's damage from the storm.
You have certainly stayed busy and productive. Enjoy your time with your friend.

What fun with the Jeep! Looks cathartic! No matter where we travel we love coming home to the east coast.
I hope your relatives’ repairs don’t take overlong. It’s been one heckuva year.

So proud of your blog, I have been out of touch for a while with so much going on in my life and I was lost because of my illness but I'm stronger and I am here to tell you about a natural remedy that is guaranteed to make you wonder why your doctor didn't tell you about it. Then, on the other hand, it is pretty obvious why your doctor didn't, because that's not his job, is it? But, seriously, promise me you won't get too angry with your health practitioner, it's really not their fault. They can only practice what they're told to practice, right? When your health is at risk there's no time for Tom foolery, you've got to get down to the cause and nip it in the bud. So you've been suffering from painful gout attacks have you? Well, allow me to give you a new perspective on the solution to what plagues you I was once in your shoe until my college friend introduce me to Dr Itua herbal center which cure my hiv/herpes,Lymphedema, after drinking it for two weeks as instructed, Dr Itua is an africa herbal doctor who has natural power to cure all human illness diseases I believe Dr Itua so much because he help me cure my hiv/ herpes which has being my burden in life so I promised Dr Itua that I will testify about his work online after curing me and that is what I'm doing here so please if you are sick from those diseases do not hesitate to write Dr Itua Herbal Center On Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Or chat with him on his online store www.drituaherbalcenter.com
