| Unusual bandaid |
This morning on my walk with the ladies I saw this car with a well-placed bandaid, but methinks it might need more than just this quick fix. It's not likely to heal up on its own. But it did make me smile. We had a really lovely walk in cool, brisk weather, but tomorrow our drought will end and the rain will return with a vengeance. In fact, I think today we had our last sunny day for awhile. We've got rain in the forecast for the next few days, and Friday will bring the first official day of fall. I found out from
Time and Date, one of my favorite websites, that this year we will experience the advent of fall on September 22 at 1:01pm in the Pacific Northwest. It was a really lovely summer, and the first time I've gotten to harvest so many ripe tomatoes in my garden.

My dear friend Mike (also known as Mikey Poppins since he uses a big umbrella on rainy days) gifted me this week with a CD compilation of pictures taken of me over the years. I'm not sure exactly when this one was taken, but it was a minimum of five years ago, or longer when I look at the pack I was using back then. It made me smile to realize how fortunate I've been to have this group of friends for so long. I know things change, but I will enjoy my memories forever. And I'm still happy to be able to hike, although who knows for how much longer? I need to cherish every single one. And I do.
:-)
Love the bandaid - and smiling at your happy self as well.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week.
Way to go, Jan! Live in the moment! Enjoy every minute. You look as good today as you did those years ago!
ReplyDeleteThat was very sweet of Mike to give you that special gift.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rain. Enjoy the memories.
ReplyDeleteFun post. How cool of Mike to compile photos for you.
ReplyDeleteI was very aware of this being the last "summer" day around here as we went on an outing with our garden group, then to lunch, and then sat outside and ate ice cream with two from the group. Back home, I had my coffee and finished the newspaper on the patio. I will miss all of this.
The car with the bandaid is cute. Love the photo of you!
ReplyDeleteThat Bandaid is hysterical!!
ReplyDeleteThe bandaid made me smile also. It helps to have a sense of humor which that guy has. Cute photo of you. It was really nice of Mike to do that for you.
