Week 26

While the world burns…Oh, I mean let me get this out of the way. 

I made this banner for my July Facebook cover photo. I like to change them up every month even if it’s the only thing I post and this one needed to be shared. I also set up a fundraiser on Facebook for Planned Parenthood for my birthday. It ends on the 16th and I’m hoping to get $500 that I plan to match.

 

In the meantime, I had a wonderful 60th birthday celebration. 

Camping, boating, tubing, mimosas, food, drinks, music, family, fun, and a “hitchhiker” we picked up from the shore. I had no idea who the woman was for a few seconds and I want to always remember seeing her, waving champagne bottles, and smiling at us…our Dr. CynCyn flew out from Florida to surprise me and spend the week with us. Excellent job family! I love you all, past the sky.

Family ❤️

It was as fun as it looks!

It was a challenge to get sharp focus of these priceless faces from a moving boat,

still, I'm so glad I brought my camera. 

The perfect birthday weather.

Today...

I worked on my calendar again. Well, now it's calendars, and I'm calling them a project, and it's fun. I have to set a timer, so I stop, or I'll just work on them all day and not get anything else done. 

On my walk this afternoon, I watched Acorn Woodpeckers make holes in a tree and hide their acorns in them and then walked around a lake, being entirely captivated by the autumn light.

Today...

is my birthday.

Husband, Jesse, Bri, Logan, and I went to Lake Berryessa.

Got there at 8 am, before all the people.

It was beautiful and so peaceful.

We brought donuts, breakfast burritos, stuff to make lunch, a standup paddleboard, and a kayak.

We all had fun taking turns on the toys and we all got sunburned.

Left for home by 2 pm - it was getting crowded.

I talked to my girls and my sister, we ordered Sushi for dinner and had Apricot Cobbler with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

I got a whole bunch of birthday cards, a Yetti Rambler, and a UE Blast speaker.

We are all spent and ready for a good nights sleep.

I feel so loved and so grateful for my family.

Soooo, tired.
