​Upper Lake, California

We began the month with a Labor Day trip to Upper Lake.
Picture
The water was pretty, but we pretty much just drove by it. I snapped the photo from the car.

Mini Road Trip

​We were on a mini weekend trip with these 2!
Picture
We were excited to share a little time with Chali and Scott, at the old Tallman Hotel.
Picture
Weather was lovely and we had the inn's pool to ourselves.
Picture
Some of us took a dip, but mostly we just chatted and took in the surroundings. A stork weathervane here, a hummingbird there...
Picture
Picture
The peaceful afternoon turned into a lively evening. Tallman's annual Blues Festival! We dined in the saloon, near a window looking out on the courtyard.
Picture
Picture
After dinner, we enjoyed the music from our balcony, looking down towards the courtyard and the big red barn.

​All was peaceful again in the morning.

Breakfast in the old hotel and back on the road to Sacramento!

Headed for Montana

​After Sacramento we had 2 days of driving. We needed food along the way.
Picture
Picture
Lucky for us we found some good dining options in Ashton and Winnemucca.

Bozeman

​Skies were perfect by the time we reached Bozeman!
Picture
Alan and Christy gave us a warm welcome!
Picture
We enjoyed good food and talk and just relaxing together. But our old neighbor-friends got us out enjoying the cool air and spectacular Montana scenery!

Just Outside Bozeman

​Just a short drive from our friends' home, we found lots of great hiking.

We also had some fun in downtown Bozeman...

Picture
Before heading off to the airport, Alan and Christy drove us to a park not far from their house.
Picture
Ahhh! To have this scenery near home!

The Fairy Village is an annual treat!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Our friends know that I adore miniatures! It was also fun watching young kids discover the fairy displays!

Home Again!

​It was hot back in Texas, but nice to be home for the rest of September.
Picture
Picture
Charlie and her mom came for a weekend!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Heidi had to get back to work on Monday. We asked for Charlie to stay a couple more days.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We spent about 50% of the time in the pool.

Charlie found time to write a postcard to her Aunt Cha and Uncle Scott.
Picture
Picture
Seeing the mailwoman at the box, made Charlie curious about the Post Office.

On the way driving Charlie home to Austin, we made a stop! ​
Picture
Picture
It was hard taking this girl back home!

​Local Friends

Our travels often distract us from our friends at home.
It felt good to get together with some very special people as we started the fall season!

Wildlife

Weather stayed summer-like throughout the month. But Don and I continued to sit outside every evening.
Picture
Picture
We had some fun surprises, watching critters... I didn't get a photo of the squirrel that jumped in our pool. But I did capture the turtles and birds, sharing the little "island". What a hoot!

    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.
