Sun-Dry

My past month has been filled with a variety and assortment of sundry things (as I'm certain yours has been as well =) ... following, are several of them.

Writing/making thank you cards for graduation. =)
(I love when I actually do sit down and make cards!)

~Celebrating Friends' birtdays~
Happy Birtday, A1!
Love,
Steak ;)

Going bowling with dynamic individuals!

Adventuring at the Zoo

Cramming six cousins into one Amish transport
...

... then looking at the pictures later, only to realize that not all of us made it into the buggy! ;P
lol

(notice Erik =)

Visiting my Grandma Sophie and celebrating 936 months of her life!
We are twins - 60 years apart. <3

Road-tripping it up with the Olive. =D
(in 105 degree temps! =P)

Arriving at our cottage destination in MI.

Where we found a wee little man
(whose name was not Zaccheus .... it was Evin =)!

What a fluffy dook! <3

Livs and I were 'official babysitters' for him, because his mommy and daddy were shooting a wedding; but, really, everyone else wanted to babysit him too
(I do not blame them). ;)

For the send off, everyone released balloons!
(wha'a brilliant idear)

Evin and The Pink Balloon

It was stunning ... 

Surfer Dude =]

He's such an adorable character!

I got to see some amazing gels {g'ells =}!!
Miss you already, A & V. <3

Walking back from a lovely church service. =)
Like myself, Tim is directionally challenged ... heh, and we're not even blood-related. ;)

Dear sisterly-times <3

Praise the Lord for His travel mercies!
As you go throughout your day, washing dishes; folding laundry; preparing meals; cleaning house; working at the office; babysitting your siblings or, perhaps, practicing some music -  remember exactly Who it is that you're doing it for.
Do it as unto Him!

Vintage, Dickens, and Mustard = ...

... My Happy Things. =)


Since you've been so terribly patient, here is the promised viewing of said shoot.
Many and much thanks to Evangeline Renee, my stupendous sister!

So, I have this thing for vintage {particularly bicycles} annnnd works by Charles Dickens =)

and also, the color mustard ... the very word inspires

 

 

 

When one experiences all three ... words fail.

Evy totally knows how to make me smile ... and laugh.

Come to think of it ...

Evy knows how to make me do a great many things. =]

 

 

{doubly epic about my Dickens books - I purchased them in Colorado! =O}

 

 

 

 

 

Happy July to each of you, dear readers!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
God has greatly blessed America -  America, bless God. <3

{Evy did a different post of the same shoot here =}

Post Script 
Merely a side note =] The shortness of this post is explained by the fact that -
 *whispers*
- I'm not here {again =P}!
This was actually being typed Friday the 29th, the eve of my departure.
Thus, preoccupied with thoughts of packing, my creativity and levels of concentration are/were not being particularly helpful. ;)
I am entirely thankful for this sched-ualing system, provided by Blogger!
... now off to packing my happy-travelling luggages. =]
