Waking up to a winter wonderland was truly lovely….until I realized, that I have to clear the driveway of all that snow before having a much needed cup of coffee. ☕ 🤣

“Okay, momma! We’ve been out to see the yucky white stuff. Can we please go back home now”?
Back in the States, I had quite a few favorite places. One of them always was the ‘Algoma Beach Motel’ in Wisconsin. One weekend out of the year, usually the beginning of September, I drove up there to escape from everyday life. This two day ‘mental check-out’ was never long enough for me to miss my apartment and routines, but still sufficient to recharge the batteries. It became a regular getaway I ended up looking forward to all year. The lovely motel right on the beach is also special, because each one of my puppy girls spend the weekend there with me at least once, and I got the same room, too. Lots of fond memories, always 💗🐾🥰
A few snaps from 2011 [sorry, the picture quality isn’t that great]…

Just a little something to smile about….

Did this devilish tomato make you smile? Have a very good evening, and just maybe I’ll see you back here for a musical snack at midnight?
Just sharing a few snaps from our walk this evening…

Just sharing a few snaps from our evening walk.







Since June 12th, my days are filled with such joy again, thanks to Lilly.
My heart is overflowing with love, and I am grateful beyond
measure for this little whirlwind in my life.

Upon occasion I just feel drawn to something, without knowing why. This tree, though not particularly beautiful or special, just had this effect on me. Well, the mind works in mysterious ways, I guess. Happy Sunday!!
I’m just sharing a few ‘point and click’ snaps with you…
