My best thrift.....and pie pie pie.....

 These fun fish mounts walked into the thrift store the other day

and when I asked the price I heard $475.00 but really they

were $4.75........

 They are amazing....Jeremy got the Mai Mai in his room!

 and Cory got the Tuna.....

 someone had paid a pretty price to have them mounted.

Made my boys day!

I have to say these may be my best thrift find yet.

 I picked rhubarb the other day....and so I made

4 rhubarb/strawberry/blueberry pies.....

 I had some friends out for dessert and gave a couple away....

 I love to make pies its just there not something you want around

very often......temptation!

We are having AMAZING weather.....we hit 84 degrees at the house

yesterday afternoon......its glorious but our crop of mosquitos right now

are just awful.....

Enjoy your day....

So Happy to be Back!

 I finished up with the Estate sale yesterday

and I must say I'm glad to be done....

We have been working on it for the last 6 weeks!

 We all learned a lot and had a great time in the process.....

 

The estate had a collection of about 1,500 records......

I picked out about 6, just for the covers of course.

This was one of my favorites

looks like a Mad Men party to me!

Happy Fathers day to all the Dad's out there.

I'm off to catch up with you all, 

Heidi

Russian River......and George!

 We have been having lovely weather here in Alaska

and between being super busy getting this estate sale all ready.....

 It's just been to nice to be sitting in front of a computer....

so I wanted to apologize for not visiting you but after are never 

ending winter I'm sure you understand with views like this!

 I went with a group of friends on this hike yesterday. 

Its one we had done last year buts, 

its always beautiful and a great one to take with little kids!

Yesterday my little George had a seizure.....

I guess this is common with little dogs

but it was quite scary....

and I pray he never has another one!

I hope your all having sunny days.

Take care, 

Heidi

Yard sale treasures......

 How cute is he?

I went to an estate sale of a local artist......

Love my new owl...

I bought these scenery and landscapes

for a friend as a house warming gift.

I think she was so talented.....

P.s. Fish and Game stopped by

and he walked for 2 hours and couldn't find Mabel so he 

felt confident that she was back with her Momma.....

a Happy ending!

take care,

Heidi

Look at my little friend.....

 Hello meet little Mabel our little long legged friend......

 Yesterday we had this Momma in our backyard....

We were wondering if it was the same Momma from last year.

 Well today walking along the highway right in front of our house,

 was little Mabel crying for her Momma, 

we were so worried she'd get hit by a car

 and there was no sign of Momma anywhere.

 So we called Fish and Game and they came and got her

but she slept in the edge of the woods in our yard till her ride arrived.

When Fish and game came they lifted her into a carrier and took her across

the busy road to where they had spotted her Mom.

I pray they find each other again and The officer was so nice and let

us pet her goodbye......

Their fur always looks so soft but its really quite nappy and rough.

Take care,

Heidi

Moose Babies.....

Look at these little sweethearts....

A friend sent me this picture ,

they were born in his backyard

and  he was able to watch the entire

miracle of their birth.....

How fortunate!

Yesterday we had a beautiful day

and it looks like we get two more

and then back to a little rain,

no complaints!

take care,

Heidi

Kelly-Peterson lake

 Yesterday afternoon we went out to

Kelly lake to join some friends who were camping.

 In the evening we went for a hike around the lake

It was so lovely.....

 We went past a few beaver homes....

 I took this to show all there lovely little saw marks

they are amazing craftsman!

 Were a little behind for our season 

but everything is slowly popping up......

We are thinking of tonight bringing our tent.....

today I'll venture over to Peterson lake

and I'll share with you!

What's wonderful is you can rent little cabins around the area

for next to nothing and we passed one on this hike

and I would have taken a picture had the 

guests not all been sitting out enjoying the deck and view.

but heres a link.....

This is what Jeremy did with his friends this weekend 

they rented a cabin and with 3 of his buddies

hiked in and I bet there having a blast

with this lovely weather......

I can't wait to see his pictures of their adventure!

Happy Sunday to you all,

Heidi
