One of my favorite restautants. They have a cheddar ale soup which equals the best I've eaten.

My sister said she hadn't seen any pictures of me scuba diving or snorkelint-this is taken by me of the ocean floor with a school of fish. See, I was there!

August 23, 2007

Imagine how I jumped when I opened my car door without seeing this bird on my mirror! He had been sitting in our driveway and we didn't know if he was sick, injured or stunned. When my husband tried to pick him up to put him outside, he did fly, but we moved him outside into the grass. When I came home later he had flown away.

Taken on a cloudy day-so late sleepers like me saw a morning glory.

Fish Tacos at the restaurant at the Maui Tropical Plantation. I love the orchid garnish!

Taken from the Atlantis Submarine. (I actually got home from Hawaii on August 16, but I have so many beautiful pictures I still want to post.)

August 17, 2007

The Atlantis Submarine in Lahaina, Maui. I do not go into water past my knees, so this was my way of snorkeling/scuba diving in Hawaii!

Look at the size of these philodendron leaves!

An unusual spider we saw.

I can't believe:
1) I did this.
2) I let somebody take my picture. (I don't look too happy about it.)
3) I'm posting it on the web.
This was practicing the hula for the trip to Hawaii for our son's wedding on Saturday, so, again, I will not be posting while I'm gone-only a week this time. Hopefully, since this is the last planned trip, I can be a better blogger when I'm home.

The only flowers I have in my garden this summer and these came up from seed from last year. I miss having more, but since I was going to be gone so much I knew they wouldn't get watered.

August 4, 2007

The clouds brought some cooler weather and I hope will bring some much needed rain.

Our grandson playing soccer in the state youth hockey tournament. His team lost in a shoot out after an excellent, hard played game.

We just received word that the Delta Queen will no longer be sailing the US waterways after November, 2008. The Water Safety Laws forbid boats with wooden superstructures on the US waterways. As the entire superstructure of the Delta Queen is wood and it is on the National Historical Register, it was granted a waiver for many years. This waiver expires next year and Congress has decided not to introduce it again. What a lost legacy! L
