Pulling Out The Clubs

Pulling Out The Clubs, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.

Forgot to mention we went golfing on Wednesday after work, our first outing this year. We, neither of us, did that well. I haven’t even held a golf club since last September, and Karen hasn’t golfed, other than one round of 9 at a par 3 course a couple of years ago, for about 4 or 5 years. We had fun though. Thanks Stan and Stacia for waiting for us, and for being patient. It’s always a good time, even if our game wasn’t. And to Karen’s dad, once again, for giving me his clubs… I love them. I can’t say enough about them. Every time I use them I think of you Don. It was one of the sweetest gifts I’ve ever received. I love them and I love you.

Just another random post. I took this photograph on the Holy Island, Lindisfarne, when we were in England. Loved it. And the island… very cool. Highly recommend a visit there.

I don’t know why, but I like this shot. Simple. Makes a person want to just hang out, relax, and be still for awhile.

Celebrating The Fourth, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.

The Fourth, Saturday, we worked outside at our place, again, and then headed in to Sandy’s to hang with some friends and celebrate the fourth in style. Nothing like a crab feast, some fine beverage, a good water fight, and excellent company. Life is truly grand. Thanks ladies for a stellar evening.

Where’s Sandy…, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.

After dinner at McMenamins last Friday night the four of us walked along the river. There’s a great path that runs for several miles along the river an then in to Fort Vancouver. Along this path there are some nice sculptures. This is one of them. Can you find Sandy?

Eating Out

Outside that is. The view from our table at McMenamins. It was so nice Friday night. A nice dinner out after we’d worked around the house, in the yard, all morning. We got tons of stuff done this weekend at our place. Very satisfying. Also very satisfying to play after you work.  Oh, and the plans on the table… they are the plans for our bathroom addition.  We took them along so Sandy and Vicki could check them out.

Friday night, July 3, we met some friends (yo Sandy and Vicki) at the McMenamins on the Columbia over in Vancouver. It’s a great spot right on the river. We sat outside. It was grand.

Hay Fever

Hay Fever, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.

Driving to work one day last week it was so gorgeous out. Really blue sky, a few clouds to offset the blue, and a recently hayed field. Haying was in full swing last week. I snapped this one with my phone as I drove past toward work. Love the smell of freshly cute hay.

The final score of the game. “Our” team was the home team. Yeah… we were psyched by the win.

Wildflower

Wildflower, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.

Last Saturday we also stopped by Mom and Don’s place after lunch with the siblings. We were on a wood gathering mission. After last year’s winter we knew we needed to be better supplied with wood in case we experience another joyous long lasting power outage. So wood gathering we went. Mom and Don have quite the stock pile. They lost some big limbs in the storm last year and have also taken a few trees down themselves. It didn’t take us long to load up.

After loading I took a wander around the property with my camera. There’s always something to take pictures of there. Just so happens the wildflowers are blooming. It’s so lovely right now. Their whole place is actually. They are really turning it into quite the show place. Better Homes and Gardens is going to show up any minute.

Nursery

Nursery, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.

I have been a bit remiss about posting. Nothing too diabolical behind my partial absence, just being very busy out there in the world. Living.

To sum up the last week or two I’m going to post photos taken during that time as a sort of catch up to now way of saying what we’ve been up to. These will not necessarily be in order, so bear with me. I’ll try to explain, in the body of the post, all the where when and how info.

This was taken at one of our local nurseries. We’ve spent a lot of time there recently, as we seem to every spring and summer. We tend to canvass about three or four fairly local nurseries in search of the perfect perennial or annual or tree or succulent. All in the name of beautifying our place. Personally I think it’s working as the place is looking quite beautiful right now.

Oh, and I took this with my iPhone camera.  Not bad for a little thing.
