Stop and Smell the Roses

As promised, this post is going to feature some of the flowers that have been blooming around here (as well as the Grandchildren they were planted for).

And just in case you're wondering what we'll be doing on this warm, late-summer afternoon in the sunshine....

See ya'.....

"Brayden Watch"

With only 24 days until the "much anticipated" arrival of Brayden William Fryer (23 days and a "wake-up"), it's time to start Brayden-Watch. While we are all excited to meet the latest little Fryer, no one is more ready than the latest "Mrs. Fryer" who has endured many physical trials, changes and involuntary diet modifications over the past few months. "Way-to-Go" Hillarie! Now you're down to the final count-down.

Several months ago, Mrs. WingMaster purchased and planted a special little rose bush for each of the grandchildren.

Who would have guessed that Brayden's rose would be the first to bloom? Hopefully, it's a sign that he'll arrive on time (or even a little early). I know that Hillarie's ready!

Needing a "Tune-up"

Keeping up this blog is more time-consuming than I anticipated. I find that I like the activities that would make good "copy" (Dinner with friends, Ride to Cabela's, Firewood-cutting parties, etc.) but taking pictures everywhere I go and writing about the adventures leaves me with a long list of "should-have's" and not a lot of interesting reading. GRrrrrrrr.

Speaking of reading; when am I going to find time to read? I have shelves full of good books and more coming in from several directions. My carnivorous friend here looks like I feel, sometimes. I think it's time for some solitude.
