This adobe chapel is part of the DeGrassi Museum and Art Gallery in Tucson Arizona.
Went to the Tucson Home and Garden Show... they had a corner for an Antique Car Show. We liked the old cars better than the Home Show!
The stained glass front window at Desert Valley SDA Church... so wonderful!
Sabbath afternoon at Saguaro National Park... delighted to find a new Crested Saguaro Cactus!
No one knows why this anomaly happens. We have photographed about 14 different Crested Saguaros.
Marilyn's dog Rosebud in her red winter coat... in dog years she is about 90.
Good to see my best friend, Buz Starrett, at our PUC 50-year homecoming April 20 weekend.
Donated about 50 screen printed posters done while a student at PUC... and they set up this display in Paulin Hall lobby.
Granddaughter Maizy graduates from High school May 24 weekend. Shirley hiding again?
The same weekend grandson Seth graduated from Pacific Lutheran University... interesting school photo collection Sherilee displayed.
Shirley loves to photograph most all flowers... especially these cone flowers. She has made several watercolour paintings from her flower photos.
It's always fun to go to the Armstrong Fair... and see the prize winners!
Shirley and her sisters, Marilyn, Sheila and Roberta spent most of a week together here in September.
One of our favourite places to walk is along the lake on the Rail Trail... which is as level is it gets. Shirley always likes level!
In the summer we shop every Friday either at the Farmer's Market or at the local farms here in Lake Country. Farm fresh and locally grown is wonderful.
Our kids Sherilee and Shelby get together occasionally... we love this selfie they sent us.
Shelby and I hiked the Carrot Mountain trail that we built behind our Shannon Woods development. I'm getting too old for this hard a climb. Just to see the golden leaves on the maples in the subdivision below made it all worthwhile. When we planted most of those trees over 20 years ago they were much smaller and had green leaves! What a difference 20 years makes!
I've played several hundred rounds of golf at the Shannon Lake Golf Course that surrounds the little lake.
We try to go for an hour walk together every day... rain or shine.
This is the landscape plan of our condo development just getting out of the ground. You can check out our development called the Uplands.
This is Building A taken with a drone. The white and orange insulated tarps keeps the snow and frost away. By early fall 2020 we believe 16 purchasers will be living here.
Setting up the forms and rebar in preparation for the concrete. What a lovely valley view.
The lighthouse and light house keepers residence on Mayne Island along Active Pass.
We see some amazing sunsets from our deck on Mayne Island.
Our home there is still a part of our lives. The 10-acre property is listed for sale, and we are praying that if He wants us to be elsewhere, when the time is right He will send the right buyer. We did a major addition with a carport and studio above. To see photos of the construction process you might check in my blog archives during 2012 and onward.
Here is a 4-minute video for 455 Heck Hill, Mayne Island posted here if you are interested.
Beautiful pictures! The Okanogan and the Sound are such beautiful places! And family's always fun. Thanks for sharing. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for you positive comments. The view from our property is pretty amazing.
DeleteIt will be interesting to see if there is someone who wants to live there.
Lovely photos, Pa. Can't really believe 2019 is almost in the books, but there you have it. Zoom zoom. xoxo
