Happy 10th birthday to my nephew! We celebrated his birthday this weekend with a Minecraft theme, and as you can see he was pretty excited about it.
Month: July 2013
Photo of the Day: Fluffy Spice
For some reason my husband thinks it’s hilarious to call our friend’s adorable puppy Fluffy Spice. Her real name is Maggie, and she is a tiny 3 pound ball of fluff. She gets so excited, that when she jumps in the air she completely flips over!

This weekend we celebrated my nephew’s 10th birthday. I think my husband had more fun with the new toys than my nephew did – he spent quite a bit of time building a huge marble track, eventually using every piece in the Marble Run set and the extender set. Don’t you love his concentration level?
Photo of the Day: Chihuly Glass
Our Glacier National Park vacation started with a couple of days in Seattle and an Amtrak ride to the park. Seattle has so much to offer, but my favorite site was the Chihuly Garden and Glass Gallery at the bottom of the Space Needle. I believe it was a temporary display, so I can’t say whether it’s still there. We actually went twice in one day – once in the afternoon and once after dark. Dale Chihuly is the guy who designed the glass work in the Bellagio in Las Vegas, if you’ve ever been there. His art is absolutely stunning, don’t you think? Have you ever seen his art in person?
Photo of the Day: Gorgeous Memories, Part II
To answer yesterday’s question, the photo was taken at Glacier National Park. Here’s another one of my favorite photos of GNP – bear grass along the Grinnell Glacier hike. See my blog post about our Glacier National Park vacation last year.
Photo of the Day: Gorgeous Memories
A year ago I visited one of the most beautiful National Parks I’ve ever been to. I can’t believe it’s been in a year. The memories are still fresh…yet I long to go back. Any guesses on the location?
Photo of the Day: Water Droplets
Sometimes leaves can be just as pretty as blooms, especially when the sun hits them just right and they’re covered in water droplets. I have to say though, I’m looking forward to this lily blooming.

I accidentally watered this guy last night along with my green beans, but he didn’t seem to mind. He probably enjoyed it with all the dry weather we’ve had lately. I’m thinking it’s a katydid – can anyone confirm?
Photo of the Day: Abandoned Goal
I took this photo three years ago during a visit to my husband’s grandfather’s farm just after he passed away. It’s such a beautiful, peaceful place. It certainly doesn’t feel like it’s been three years; yet so much has changed during that time.
Check out the original blog post to see a few more photos of the gorgeous farm.
Photo of the Day: Lost Kitty
I decided to continue with the cat trend today. Two nights ago we found a cat outside our local community center. Now, I wouldn’t normally bring home a stray cat. But this guy came right up to me and let me pet him, he rubbed up against me, and he followed me all the way to the car. He was declawed and looked like he belonged to someone, but he had no collar, and the closest houses were across a busy intersection. So we (this was a mutual decision between my husband and I) decided to bring him home. He’s been living in our garage for two days, but I can tell by his constant meowing that he’s ready to come inside. If the owner doesn’t respond to our fliers quickly, we may just have a second kitty!
Here are Tuesday and Wednesday’s cat photos, if you missed them.
