Total randomness... my phone is finally allowing me to forward photos again....

Actually, I figured out there was a password kink between a few of my accounts... technologically challenged me... *sigh*

Anyway... thought I'd post a few summer pics...


Sarah came for a visit in July... right before she got sick... pretend the unmade bed and stacks of books on the armoir aren't there.


Joe and his Idaho ice-cream potato.


Olympic opening ceremonies food... home-made fish 'n chips wrapped in newspaper.


Ally making cherry scones for the closing ceremonies and looking so thrilled.


The cherry scones.


Ally all ready for the fair... and no, I only took a picture... she wasn't allowed to wear this get-up out as I thought it was adorable, but prolly not appropriate attire for the kind of crowd you often find there.


Tradition: Favorite breakfast the first day of school (in this case, coconut French toast)... which this year, also happens to be Ally's first day of her last year of high school.


The zucchini basket I filled a few times... posted on facebook that it was there 
for the taking and was gone within an hour.  Some of them were over 20 inches long.

Lake McDonald, Montana

Have I ever talked about my thing for rocks?  Have had it since I was a little girl.... loved to collect rocks and go to rock shops.  I even have a few sitting next to my bed (nothing bigger than what fits in the palm of your hand) right now that've caught my fancy the last year or so... or that someone's given me.  Like the small white one Ally gave to me from our trip to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, at the Quileute Indian Reservation beach (okay, yeah... so it was really to see 'Twilight' country, but we saw some pretty amazing scenery as well)... and then a black rock Rob found on our trip to the Oregon Coast last year. Anyway... there's this lake in Montana ... Lake McDonald ... obviously from the subject heading... and it's got shores of brightly-colored rocks.  So guess what got added to the bucket list as soon as I saw the photos?  Yep... I will go there... for the rocks.... just to see the pretty colors.
