I love the look of lakes and mountains. The photo above is one from my niece Amy’s collection. She luckily lives in a beautiful spot, and also managed to escape the wildfires that descended just an hour away from her home.
Below, Fiona spent the summer in the outdoors, working in Yosemite National Park. Afterwards, she enjoyed finding her makeup again.

Aubrey is having a great day here…and found someone to capture the mood for her.

Some of my favorite mugs gather on various shelves and surfaces. On the left, each of the Three A’s has his/her name printed on the side (Alec, Aubrey, Aaron); in the middle, Baby Alec, my first grandchild; and on the right, a mug I enjoy which I bought in Big Bear during one of my vacations to the cabin there.

And then I found this photo of Craig, my eldest son, just before he took off for Europe again. This one was snapped in 1994, right after I had moved into this A-frame house in the foothills. He is holding a book, with his photo on the cover.

And check out this delicious looking Shepherd’s Pie that I had last fall…I am eagerly awaiting its return to the menu at Marie Callender’s.

As you can see, my photos are an eclectic mix of sentimental and recent. What are you sharing this week?

Thanks, Sandy, I do surround myself with things that give me joy…and contrary to what that author of The Art of Tidying Up might say, I don’t need to sweep any of these things away…LOL.
Enjoy your weekend!
