A Bear, A hike and Jerry.......

 Yesterday we went on a hike to Russian River Falls......and
little Jerry went with!
 He stayed right with us......It was so nice to have
Phil with us this time.....I love this picture!

 Our little Mimi who loves her picture taken......
 It was such a nice day beautiful scenery....
 wildflowers......
 I guess earlier there had been bears to watch......
 the reds were jumping.....

 We read this sign after......but they were away from the weir....
 but we laughed.....
 on the way home from the safety of our vehicle 
we saw this guy....
He was on the move... 
Cory snapped this picture can you see the salmon....

What were you up to this weekend?

 We couldn't have asked for nicer weather this week.....
 It has been so sunny and warm.....
 The first part of this hike was straight up and Mimi was a little tired till 
we hit these little creeks and all was good.....
 It was such a beautiful hike....

 With spectacular views....

 Beautiful wildflowers.....


 We stopped for a picnic lunch.....
 It was a perfect day spent with friends....
Happy weekend!

This and that......

 Sorry for the shadows....I recently came across a stack of dishes
that I had from my shop and they were so cheery that I decided to
start using them.....
 everyday!
 I wanted to share my backyard the other morning the sun was coming up
and it was so pretty.....
 And I had to share a friend came over last week and brought 
us dessert it was so delicious and picture worthy I thought.....
 So this is the start of my re-do I tore out this cabinet
what a difference.....it made I can't wait to show you
the finnish this week.....
and last but not least this pair of bull moose were in the backyard
they have been back several times......they are young ones!

Well it is so good to be done stripping and painting......
today we are heading off for a hike to celebrate,
I'll take lots of pictures to share with you,
Have a wonderful day!

What I've been up too......stripping

 Wallpaper stripping that is.....
 and let me tell you I wished it looked as pretty as these examples.....
 None the less, I have been so excited for the job, yes definitely 
grueling at times....some rooms had 3 layers.......
 but the extra money will be wonderful for our trip in exactly
21 days from now......so while I'm breathing in years of yuck
I dream of Anthropologie air......
Now they have asked me to paint the rooms.....I have always worked 
with my hubby doing these jobs.....now I have my first solo gig!

So my big reveal and re-do will have to wait until
I finish this job...... its amazing what paint can do
these rooms look so different!

I should be done soon....
and I can't wait to catch up with all of you!

Happy Weekend.....






 All of these lovely inspired images came from here
I'm so sorry I have not had a chance to visit blogs this week
I have been very busy, will share more about this later.....
and I ripped something out of the house
which I love the new space!

I hope your week has been a sunny one like ours,
 we even hit 70 for a few days....

Have a wonderful weekend!

P.s. thank you for all your sweet comments on our birthday boy.....

Dogs +Tea = Disaster.......Happy Weekend!

 Look at these two little angels...
 it started off nicely....
 Poor George has put on a little weight...with our puppy training!
He's off treats now.....poor baby!
 they were so cute...
 Mimi set her table so nicely...
 typical men, they were not into the table linens
oops did I do that... 
 All good things must come to an end!
 Just look at that face.....
 Jerry's favorite place under the rose bush!
 My goal was to fill this in with rocks this summer...
But I'm having more fun playing with the kids and puppies
and today we were blessed with no rain 
and peeks of sunshine....

Happy weekend to you all!
