SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY 6.30.13

SHS 6.30.13

Thought I'd better get myself "in gear" and grab my camera!

{this meant putting down my paintbrush}

The SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY words posted by Ashley

are ones I suggested a couple of months ago!

So, without further hesitation,

here are my interpretations of:

MOTION, TOOLS, DOTS, SWEET & STRIPES.

We drove up to the cabin late Thursday evening - here to celebrate Lydia's {& Natasha's birthdays}.  

The weekend before July 4th is pretty quiet! Not many boats, jetskis or kayaks on the lake - but, caught the neighbor in MOTION on his jetski last evening.

JPE getting his tackle box ready for some fishing. Last year he got a fishing license for the lake & spent his gift card on some TOOLS {hooks, sinkers, bait & a new pole} of the trade.

Wondering where I found these DOTS in this heat wave? Actually these are DOTS of "pitch" or "resin" from the pine tree. They've found a home on the outside fireplace hearth!!!

SWEET! a tasty SWEET ice cream birthday cake for the "girl's" birthdays!

The wind is strongest in the late afternoon... so Jack & Taylor pulled the kite out... Brilliant, bright STRIPES --- makes it easy to find the kite from anywhere on the lake.

Well, off to breakfast! taking the boat across the lake!

A CHANGE OF WEATHER!

WEATHER-READY!!

WILL LEAVING MY STINKY BOOTS OUTDOORS

TAKE THE SMELL AWAY?

I haven't worn these shoes since we tromped through the Amazon River... 

urrghh! the humidity seems to have permeated the leather...

I fear I may have to toss these shoes out???

Today, Lydia, JPE & I stayed around the cabin

(BTW - we're at the Big Bear cabin)!

Lydia practiced playing her electric guitar...

I did some laundry...

AND, we watched the weather change, in a matter of minutes.

we're warm & cozy in the cabin,

while the rest of the group is snowboarding!

Do you think the STINKY SMELL has left my boots yet?
