September Pursuits 2011

A hawk brought his beautiful, pure white, DEAD PREY to the middle of our yard.

He took it to another area because Lee bothered him by coming out with a camera.

I bought some puzzles for a dollar each at the senior center. This is our 4th 1,000 piece puzzle.

THIS puzzle was put in the wrong box BUT we did it without a picture. Lee is by far the best puzzle addict of the two of us.

Kay died on July 8, 2011

Carol, Jean, Kay, and Margery: Mother and daughters.

Vern and Clare performed for us, Colorado and two new songs.

Ian is now walking around.

Leezza and Brad stayed in the spa the longest.

Lee and Beverly had to find something on a map. Notice the decorations. It was a GREAT day!

Pillow Covers

Jean and I covered these pillows to go with our new couch. Jean had the know-how and I learned quite a bit. Everything is fresh looking now. :)

New Year's Eve 2010

We spent the last evening of the year with a group of professional music lovers. They played throughout the evening changing places now and then with others who wanted to participate; sometimes a stringed quartet and then a double string quartet, or trumpet with strings. There was good food and good company, too.
