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

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.
