​The Happy List

Home in July 2022

Housebound 


We weren't really housebound in July. But, we had a lot to deal with at home.
Picture
A huge foundation repair began in the beginning of the month. On July 4th, I made the most of the small mountain, that came from underneath our house. I decorated with a flag.  

​July 4

After all our travel in previous months, we just enjoyed being home.
Picture
We watched fireworks from the yard.

July 4th Feasting

We began the day with  the tiniest of homemade waffles.
Picture
Picture
Later in the evening Don grilled chicken and we feasted on that, along with fresh corn, beans and watermelon.

Outside Time

Despite triple digit temps in much of July, we spent time outdoors. There were too many clouds on the full moon night, but I caught it early in the morning... near a cloud and jet stream.
Picture
Picture
Mornings in July were tolerable. I got out early with my coffee whenever I could.

Cool Drinks in the Evening

Most evenings, we have a decent breeze in back.
Picture
Picture
Don used some of his Father's Day gifts around the pool. Mai Tais one evening!

Another Father's Day gift got some attention in July. 
Picture
Don's Grandpa & Granddaughter Outfits will be going into the suitcase in August. In August we won't be staying home!

​Good-Bye in July

​These photos are from the end of June, but our real good-bye to our neighbors, came in July.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Mara and her family moved back to Italy right after the 4th. They will be missed. Mara was  good at bringing neighbors together!

​Heat!

This is the hottest July I remember, in our 24 Texas years. We made good use of the pool.
Picture
I got back to swimming laps, using a 40-year-old kick board. Lots of memories of lap swimming with Don, back when this board was new! Our 3rd date, was lap swimming... of all things!

Potted Flowers 

Hanging out at home for a month, I concentrated on the yard and wondered why so many of my plants were suffering, despite my attention! Finally on July 31st, I had 3 blooms on the hibiscus.
Picture
Picture
I guess it's good we were home all of July. I'm not sure that any plants would have survived, without daily watering.

Walking

It was a quiet month. Probably just as well since Covid got crazy again, in July. We didn't travel, but Don and I put in more walking miles than ever.
Picture
We got out earlier, walked longer and created some new routes. That's pretty lame for my July highlight. But I'll take it!

On the Road in June 2022

New Mexico & Colorado

Much of June was spent on the road, traveling in New Mexico and Colorado.
Picture
Picture
We toasted more than once, to the beautiful weather. Nearly perfect weather for 18 days!

12 Hotels
​
As always, we stayed at very unusual and different hotels.
All 12 had curious histories. 3 had bank vaults, one had hot springs, 5 had glorious porches, 6 had excellent restaurants... all supposedly had ghosts.

This is what we did on our travels...
​
​We drove a lot.
Or rather, Don drove a lot. I cheered on the scenery.

​We ate and drank well... 
... in pretty places and settings.

​We sat around...
and relaxed.

​We explored...
...and found some odd things and some unusual picnic spots.

​Don had fun with everything from intriguing monuments...
Picture
... to kiddie boats.

I enjoyed posing... 
Picture
... with statues and donkeys and ice cream.

Best of all we interacted with people a little more. 
Picture
Picture
The pandemic is not gone, but we've eased back into enjoying conversations  with travelers and locals on our trips!


It was especially nice to meet up with some people we already know. It was great to spend time with our nephew, his wife and their sweet pooch.
Picture
Picture
... and it was fun to catch up and laugh with my old (and funny) friend from college! 

It was a good month and we came home healthy!

May Day!

The month started off well, with a May Day Surprise on the porch!
Picture
Picture
Our sweet neighbors who moved away 2 years ago, moved back. They restarted their May Day tradition, by delivering a surprise goodie to our porch!
​
Cinco de Mayo

​After 2+ years, Don and I had our first "gathering" at the house.  
Picture
There were just 8 of us, but it felt like a party to me.
Picture
Margaritas, guacamole and lots of catching up! 

​Blood Moon on May 15

​Halfway through the month, we had some fun with the sky. Around 8:30, we watched the moon rise and got excited about viewing the total lunar eclipse.
Picture
Picture
About a half hour later, Don started focussing the other direction. We were able to watch the Space Station cross the sky in the west.

Eclipse!
​

Then it was time to turn back to the moon. I grabbed my Nikon and attempted to record the eclipse.
Picture
Picture
But I was too lazy to get the tripod. I got up once in the night and enjoyed the moon again, from the window. What a special Mid-Month-May treat!

Best for Last

The best of the month came towards the end. Don and I met up with Heidi,  Jamie and little Charlie, for a week in Austin.
Picture
Picture
This was Charlie's first time away from her Oregon home, since she was born. She took on the Texas heat better than any of us!  
​
Parks

Luckily there are lots of parks in Austin.  
The last time Don and I saw our grand daughter, she wasn't walking. We could hardly keep up!
​
Hanging Out

We rented a house and spent a lot of time, just hanging out.  
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Charlie did some good sleeping and some excellent singing and she loved the hall!

Dining Out

​It was nice to get out and enjoy some of Austin's great food. Although Char enjoyed toys and faces as much as food.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
A storm brought a cool front, which made outside dining possible!  

​Friends
​

Heidi and Jamie were able to see lots of their old friends.
Picture
I was excited that we got to see a few of them too. These girls have been friends since 6th grade.
Picture
It was pretty sweet to see the next generation!
Picture
Picture
It was also extra fun to see Charlie with other little ones! She was born during the pandemic and hasn't had much interaction with other kiddos.

Summertime in May

Cheers for sunny days at the end of May!
Picture
I'm glad we got to experience some summer activities in the parks...
Picture
Picture
...and some good food and drink in relaxed settings!

A Happy End to May! 
​
Lots of laughter...
Picture
Picture
...and lots of love... in Austin!
​
​"i love you so much"

My 66th April!

Turning 65!

​I hate the aging, but I love the Medicare part! Yay for turning 65!
Picture
And I didn't mind some of the nice surprises. Some fragrant and some funny and some sweet!

Dining Out

This year's birthday was lots more relaxed than the last two.
Picture
This is my third "covid birthday". But this year feels very different. We had a nice time celebrating at Houston's Rainbow Lodge.  
​
Birthday Zoom!

​This was also my third Birthday Zoom.  There were only 6 of us at the first Zoom, two years ago!
Picture
I love being able to celebrate with our kids, in Oregon and California.

Easter in Springfield

A few days before Easter, Don and I hit the road for Missouri.
Picture
Picture
My sister flew in from Oregon and we spent 3 days hanging out with Dad. Our Airbnb just happened to be the home where Dad's brother and family lived. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
We have good memories from visits to the stone house in the '60's and '70's. We made new memories, hanging out with games and coffee and old scrapbooks. A few easy meals out...

​Relatives

We made it simple and met up with our Springfield relatives at a nearby brewery, on Saturday afternoon. It was a block from the old grocery store where Dad worked as a teen.
Picture
We visited with the relatives, some that we've known all our lives. And we met the newest relative!

On the Road

After a good visit, Don and I took four days to meander home, through Missouri and Arkansas. We stayed in a grain bin one night and an old orphanage, another.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We slept in the only still operating bath house/ hotel, in Eureka Springs. We spent the craziest and creepiest night ever, in a room filled with old dolls in Jefferson, TX.

Enjoying the Road

It felt good to take our time and on back roads.  
It was refreshing to be on the road, with new spring growth. We made lots of spontaneous stops along the way.

Posing

And we also managed to find some time to pose with strange characters...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
And tasty drinks!
​
Ending the Month
​

At the end of the month, I was able to use a special birthday gift. Tickets to Fiddler on the Roof.
Picture
It's been over 50 years since I first saw this show on stage! It's been way over 2 years that I've been in a theatre. I was thrilled.

Reminders

​
The theatre's mask requirement, was a reminder that we are still living with a sad and serious pandemic.
Picture
The ending of the show, was a powerful reminder of the (also sad and serious) happenings in Ukraine. 

War & disease is not something for a Happy Blog. But, there was a positive message after curtain call. Every performance is dedicated to the people of Ukraine. It's a good feeling to have a theatre packed with caring and concerned mask wearing patrons, applauding together in support.

Belated Birthday

The highlight of March, was our belated celebration with this 1-year-old!
Picture
Don and I had planned on being with our granddaughter on her Valentine's Day Birthday. But we delayed our trip for March.  

Quick Mardi Gras

The night before we flew to Oregon, we squeezed in some Mardi Gras celebrating.
Picture
Picture
We finished packing and celebrated with beads and Sazeracs! 

From Houston to Oregon
​
I love pre-dawn drives to the airport. 
Picture
Picture
We left balmy Texas and arrived in the cool, moist state of Oregon on March 2.

One Year Old

It was wonderful spending time with this spunky little girl. At the time of our visit, Charlie was two months older than when we'd last seen her.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Charlie's Aunts were able to come spend some time as well. A year ago, our group of 7 gathered in this house when Charlie was 2 months old... we weren't vaccinated then and Charlie seemed so tiny. The world feels so different now!

Celebrating is a lot more fun this year!
Just spending time in the house was enough!

Outings

But it was nice feeling comfortable, out in the world a little more!  
Picture
Picture
We had our first inside dining experience with Charlie! 
Picture
Picture
On a cool, sunny day, we made it to the park. Charlie had her first time in a park swing! It was hard heading back to Texas. 

Spring in Texas

But we were back in time for bluebonnets!
Picture
These were spotted on a walk in a nearby neighborhood.

International Art & Kite Festival

Just a few miles from home, I ventured to an annual event that I've never attended.
Picture
Picture
Picture
The weather was perfect. Just warm enough and just windy enough.

Friends Again in March

March marked 2 years, since our real pandemic worrying began. This March, suddenly felt so much more relaxed. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
It felt good to catch up with friends again... in person.

TX Travel

Although Don and I have traveled during these 2 years, we got out and enjoyed a quick trip with friends, Christy and Alan.
A few lovely spring days, wandering in Texas Hill Country! What a great way to end the month!

Quiet February 2022

2/28/2022

Quiet Month

It was a quiet and chilly and slow month.
Picture
We kept things simple in February. One highlight was enjoying a nice moonrise, over Lake LBJ.  

Ukes at the Cabin

We spent a couple nights at the cabin. A fire and ukuleles. Perfect.
Picture
Picture
It's been over a year since Don and I pulled out the ukes. I'm pretty rusty.  

Games and Puzzles

Seemed like time stood still this February. We watched a lot of the winter Olympics.
Picture
Picture
And we read and played games. 

Year of the Tiger
​

We celebrated anything that came our way in February.
Picture
Happy Lunar New Year! Eating cake with chopsticks is not a good idea. 

February 14
​
On Valentine's Day we were supposed to be in Oregon, celebrating with this little one. But there were surges in Covid, so we rescheduled for March. 
Picture
We Zoomed with this little Birthday Girl instead. 

Our Valentine's Day

Don and I have had 43 Valentine's Days together. We've learned to keep it simple. Cookies and Cactus! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Music and Champagne. A big night!

Galveston
​
Weather was lousy towards the end of the month, but we enjoyed a getaway to the island for a couple nights.  
Picture
Picture
It was only a 75 minute drive and suddenly we could see beach and tropical vegetation! A treat, even with blustery weather.

Historic Buildings

I adore the historic parts of the old city. The architecture of the Sacred Heart Church and Bishop's Palace, always impress me.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Some of the beautiful old homes were decorated for Mardi Gras.

The Kettle House
​

We ended the month with a stay at one of the more curious "hotel" options of Galveston. The Kettle House today, is an Airbnb. 
Picture
Picture
10 years ago, I took a photo of what looked like spaceship with a roof! I never dreamed that someday we'd sleep inside that thing.

Mid-Century Modern

This oddball structure was transformed into a modern-cool, Airbnb a few years ago. We arrived with food and games and books and made ourselves at home.
Picture
Picture
The circular, modern space was lovely and comfy. It had a very fun Jetson's vibe, with decor from the 1960's.
Picture
Picture
We settled into the oddly shaped space, with all its knotty cypress. We entertained ourselves with ukes and Margaritas.
Picture
Picture
The upper and lower level were connected with a spiral staircase. It felt like a boat down below, with bunks built into the side and hanging chairs.

Deck Space

It felt like we'd drifted off in a boat for 2 days. I tried to go out "on deck" a couple times.
Picture
But it really was too windy. I lasted only minutes.

Dinner on the Bay

After a couple months of opting out of restaurants, we stepped back into the world of dining out! We found this spot within walking distance of "The Kettle". 
Picture
Picture
The best part of this month was seeing some light at the end of the pandemic tunnel! Cheers to seeing the numbers drop! Bring on the spring!

A New Year! January 2022

12/31/2021

Bye-Bye
​
What a treat to wake up on New Year's Day to this little grand-baby!
Picture
But we also had to say good-bye to this little cutie (and her parents) on the first day of the year. That's never fun, but we had to head home.

Good Start!

The beginning of the year started with our road trip, from Oregon back to Texas.  We squeezed in 2 family visits, in the first 2 days of January.
Picture
Picture
We had lunch with my sis and sister-in-law, on the first day. We had dinner with our son and daughter-in-law on the second day. No complaints about that!

Scenery

I soaked up all the scenery, during the 6 days of travel home. 
Luckily the roads were clear of snow on our first day. The windshield was pretty filthy by the time we reached west Texas. I pretended it was snowing.

​More Views from the Car

Being winter, we took the southern route. We stayed in Tucson one night and I snapped a photo of a pretty church, not far from our hotel. 
In the sleepy Texas town of  Van Horn, we spotted this Blue Origin mural. That was sort of amusing, so I snapped a pic from the car.

Best Stop on the Route

But the very best stop on our route was in Riverside, California. We booked one night at the historic Mission Inn Hotel.
Picture
Picture
Our trip was more about destination than exploration. We were all about getting home. But we made a last minute decision, to enjoy a night at Mission Inn.  

Exploration

This grand hotel was worthy of a being our destination. 
The hotel complex covers an entire city block and gave us lots to explore.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Arriving on January 3rd, we had the added bonus of seeing the Festival of Lights display... without crowds.

Home

​We made it home to Texas by January 6. The next night we had a second mini Christmas, opening the gifts we left behind.
Picture
Our holiday trip to Oregon, had been a last minute change in plans. It was a treat to get home and have a little extended celebrating, a week after Christmas.

Christmas for Two

I was in no hurry for the holidays to end. We enjoyed a tiny feast for 2.
Picture
And we enjoyed some gifts for two! This wasn't the first time that Don and I gave each other the same gift.

Pitiful and Funny

After traveling in the first week, my focus was "un-decorating" during the second week of January. I wasn't too surprised to se the sea of needles under the tree.
Picture
It was a pretty hideous sight. Our fresh tree was not so fresh! It was easier to face the pitiful tree with a camera and sense of humor.

​Good-Bye Tree

I was never so happy to get rid of a tree. There was still water in the stand, but the tree refused to drink while we were gone.
Picture
Picture
I used my new gift of work gloves, to deal with the removal task. 

Last Weeks

We started January with family and good scenery. Then we arrived home and did little with the rest of the month. 
Picture
Picture
I was perfectly fine with that. There was time to catch up on some important things. Lounging and Zooms/phone chats with friends. Nice to be home.

Together in December 2021... Finally!

12/31/2021

Altering Plans

December was a crazy month, with lots of last minute changes. We had expected to have Christmas in Texas, with the kids. 
Picture
Picture
But with Omicron cases spiking, we all worried over the safety of our unvaccinated grand baby. Flights were cancelled and Don and I drove to Oregon.  

Decorating

​I got a little manic, in the first weeks of December. I decorated every surface I could find. It's been 5 years since the "married kids" have all been in this house together. 
Picture
Picture
Baby Charlie has never been to our house, so I put out silly things... that a 10-month-old is far too young to care about. I practiced the carols, that I played for our kids, when they weren't old enough to sing.

And I decorated for the adult kids. Scott likes the old ceramic tree... once corny, but now kitschy. 
Picture
Picture
I pulled out all the Xmas coffee mugs and holiday glasses and silly decor for Tiki Night.

​Work!

Don did as much as he could. It's not easy to help, when your fractured back is trying to heal. I did the tree hauling and decorating. He cheered me on! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
We finished up our renovation projects and the upstairs rooms were ready. I made a lame attempt at outside lights. Good enough! By December 21, the house was ready to welcome the kids home.

Rethinking Plans

On the 21st, the house was ready, but suddenly our eager moods changed. Don and I spent all day debating with the kids, through texts and phone calls. Advice from doctor relatives and pediatricians, had us extra worried about air travel with a baby. Our kids were concerned about their parents as well. Especially the one who had open heart surgery...

By 9 pm, we decided we all wanted to be together, with the lowest risk. Don and I said we'd drive out the next day. I gathered the boxes the kids had shipped to Texas. I bagged the wrapped gifts.
Picture
Picture
In the morning we threw some clothes in suitcases, grabbed bread and peanut butter and filled the car. We were off by 10 and hoped to make it to Portland in 5 days.  

As soon as the car pulled from the drive, I stopped moping about the Christmas we weren't going to have in balmy Texas. I started focusing on being together, in wintry Oregon! 

Holiday Travel

​It was an odd 5 days, rushing through 5 states during the holidays. One morning I lived it up, with red Krispy Kreme donuts! On Christmas Eve I crossed my fingers for good luck as we left our hotel. We worried over winter storms and mountain passes.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We ended up taking the safer and much longer, coastal route. It landed us in the magical town of Ferndale, CA by 7 pm. For Christmas Eve dinner we had cheese and crackers in our room and felt giddy to know we'd be with the family on Christmas.

Christmas Entertainment

Luckily Don's back didn't bother him while driving. He drove the whole 2,700 miles!  
Picture
We couldn't complain about driving on Christmas, when we studied the scenery. The rainbow seemed to be a pretty good sign! We texted Christmas greetings during the day and made it to Happy Valley just before dark!

Baby Time

The house couldn't have felt cozier. There was a fire and a lit tree. The kids handed us champagne and unloaded the car for us. 
Baby Charlie woke up from her nap and I had to hold back my giddiness, so I didn't scare her. But after a few minutes, Charlie happily went along with  the celebration! I tried my best to share, but it wasn't easy!

Cozy Christmas

We were quick to shift the calendar dates. When you don't leave the house, it's easy to believe that December 26th is Christmas Eve. For the next couple days, we celebrated with food, games, music and gifts.
No captions needed. It was wonderful to be together.

December 28th

There was a new layer of snow the day Scott and Chali had to head back to Sacramento.
Picture
Picture
I'm glad they had a couple days to hang out before we arrived. But it was hard saying good-bye. Luckily they made it home safely in a day.

Post Christmas

Don and I had a quiet couple days, before we left to head home.
Picture
Picture
We got in some book reading time. Charlie loves Don's chin.

New Year's Eve

It was a quiet New Year's Eve. We didn't spend time reflecting on the year. 2021 will not be remembered as a favorite, for most. But it was the year this baby was born... during a pandemic, in the middle of an ice storm... on Valentine's Day.
Picture
Picture
We made no resolutions, but toasted with Hotel Nacional cocktails. We made interesting and funny predictions about 2022.

Good Ending

It was a strange year and a strange month. But the last week of December 2021, was a special one!
Picture
It didn't really matter where we were. We 7 were together for Christmas and I'm so grateful for that!

Good Ending in November 2021

A November Wedding

Weather was beautiful in early November. I attended my first "event" since the pandemic started. Poor Don started having serious back issues and I had to go alone.
Picture
Picture
It was nice and and sort of odd going solo to a wedding. I haven't attended a wedding alone since 1978, when I caught my friend's bouquet... chatted with the groom's friend Don, then married him year later.  

Stuck at Home

Don's bypass recovery (and added back issues) kept us pretty much stuck at home in November.
Picture
Picture
But we made good use. After 23 years in this house, we finally got around to making some changes.

Thanksgiving

​By November 22, Don was willing to give travel a try. We headed for New Orleans to be with my sibs and their spouses for Thanksgiving.
Picture
After 20 months of pandemic (and 2 months of post surgery healing for Don) it felt wonderful to celebrate with family again!
We were able to dine out safely. (Vaccine cards required in Nola restaurants) And we feasted at home. Mostly it was just wonderful to catch up with each other, after such a long time.

Good Old New Orleans

We avoided the crowds and tricky logistics of the French Quarter, this time.
But we walked daily in the Garden District. What a treat to see the old homes, the decorations and a few sweet animals as well. 

​November ended much better than it began!

Long October 2021

Favorite Month

October is one of my favorite months. Don and I often travel during October and end up missing some of the great weather. No travel this year.
Picture
Picture
I got some of the old decorations out, on the first of the month. I knew we were going to be spending a lot of time at home.

Early Celebration

We had a long Zoom with the kids on October 3, two days before Don's birthday.
Picture
That was a highlight of the month for sure. Baby Charlie joined in for way over an hour. She even clapped when we sang Happy Birthday!
Picture
I made Don spaghetti and meatballs and a funny looking cake, for later that evening. 

Happy Birthday Surgery

Don's 67th birthday won't go down as one of his favorites. He had open heart surgery that day.
Picture
Picture
A couple days later, Don got out of ICU and was able to have flowers and a better view.

Visitors
​
Luckily the Covid restrictions had recently eased a bit at the hospital. Don was able to have more than one visitor per day.
Picture
Scott flew in from California. With the help of a couple Covid tests, he felt safe helping out with his dad. It was a treat for me too!  We didn't get to be in the building at the same time, but took turns cheering Don on.

Home!

After 5 nights in the hospital, Don came home. Scott cut his dad free. No more hospital bracelets!
Picture
Picture
There were cards and goodies to open and late birthday gifts. 

Support

Things were quiet and not as festive as our usual reunions, but it was wonderful having Scott's support.
Picture
Picture
I was glad that Scott made use of the pool a few times. I miss having him home!

Good-bye

I made sure to put the camera timer on, so we could have a photo before I took Scott to the airport. No selfies for me.
Picture
So happy to have had this guy home for a week!

42nd Anniversary

Don and I have had a lot of anniversaries. We knew this would be a quiet one.
Picture
It was 2 weeks after surgery, so we toasted with sparkling juice and got DoorDash delivery for dinner. This wasn't the best of all anniversaries, but maybe the most meaningful. I'm grateful that Don had this surgery. Because of that, we'll be having lots more!
​
Walks

The one thing we did a lot of this month, was walking. Don started with 5 minute walks in the hospital. His first days at home he walked 4 times a day, inside the house.
Picture
Picture
The weather got nicer and 10 days after surgery we started 2 walks a day outside. By the end of the month, we were enjoying the scenery and talking. Sometimes 50 minutes at a time. Gradually getting there!

Cheers to Home

Just like those pandemic quarantine months, we spent a lot of time at home. With a couple cool fronts, the plants started perking up! We were home to enjoy the changes in the yard!
Picture
Picture
And towards the end of the month we had a tiny toast with some tiny martinis. Very yummy, after almost a month of juice and sparkling water!

Halloween

The last day of the month gave us the prettiest weather. I carved the pumpkin as I do every year. Don came out and watched.
Picture
Picture
We had only a few trick-or-treaters, but I enjoyed my candy duty more than most years. So happy to see faces and not wear cloth masks this year. So glad to for the balmy air. So glad for the end of the month! Cheers to 27 days of recovery!

    Happy List  
    ​

    I started this blog, by thinking about the things that make me laugh and smile. My "Photo a Day" posting began on May 27, 2016.  I had just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and I found I could keep things positive, by sharing some of my favorite photographs. After 7 months, I stopped the daily habit and aimed for monthly posts. 

    ​Now, at the end of each month, I look back at all the things I enjoyed in the weeks before. I share some photos, along with a few words. It's a good reminder to myself, to feel grateful every day.
