Almost!
You can't feel it in the air yet...in fact, it's dang hot - too hot actually. So sick of Summer. But Fall is a comin', everyone! My all time favorite season. I am waiting for that certain day when I step out of work and I can feel Fall in the air. It's not just the cooler weather but there is a certain feeling in the air and you know it has arrived!
I was @ the grocery store last night and seeing these pumpkins outside the front door made me smile! The $8.00 price tag was not a happy thing but the pumpkins...oh yeah!
Happy "Almost Fall" everyone! ♥

Tending to the Blog
I was reading a very popular Blog today and it certainly made me feel like a real lousy Blogger. I love my Blog but I'm just so bad at keeping it up. Most of it is just laziness. Having a 2 story house where the second floor is not really used, it kind of gets forgotten up here. I come home tired from work, look up here, and it's dark and quiet. I think to myself "do I really want to go up there"? I do but I don't. Anyway, I was reading some great tips about blogging today and she said to treat your Blog as if it is a growing flower or plant. Something that needs to be nurtured, watered, and generally taken care of. I don't really do that now do I?! Don't answer that!
Another tip was to thank and really appreciate your Blog followers. That is a great idea...but not Blogging is kind of letting down those who read it and want more.
So I know I have promised it before, more than once, but I really am going to make an attempt to be a regular Blogger. For both you and for me too!
I'm actually still feeling the incredible effects of such a great vacation in Alaska. I just found the beauty to be so incredible, peaceful, and healing. There were a couple of times that I would gaze out of a window or off the deck of the ship and I would get tears in my eyes - just taking it all in.
Here are a few of my favorite pics...from the Tracy Arm Fjord and Skagway (including the Yukon in Canada). Will post some more tomorrow from Juneau and Ketchikan.

911 Wal Mart Alert
TGIF! Truly.
Feels as if it's been a long week. I know every week is the same but certain ones are particularly tough. Dad's 80th birthday was last weekend. We had about 17 people over on Sunday. He enjoyed it as did his friends from church. Here are some pics...
I was happy that we were able to get that many people in and sitting down to eat. And of course my Blog would not be my Blog if I didn't put a pic of Roxie. Here she is wearing her new party dress! She had a great time but was exhausted after the festivities. She had to be carried to bed. My sweet old girl!
Quick story and then I have to do all the stuff you do to get ready for work. I went to Wal Mart yesterday at lunch. I walked up toward the front doors and all of a sudden this guy falls over one of those thingys that pushes a row of carts. Big, ugly machine. He completely flipped over it and landed in the parking lot on the hot asphalt. Those of you who live in CA know that this week I mean it when I say HOT asphalt. He hit his head. And then he was having seizures. I was completely freaked out and didn't know what to do. Pretty soon others came over too. All I knew to do was call 911 which I did. The paramedics were there in 4 or 5 minutes. He had 5 seizures during that time. Come to find out, he was an employee there. He has epilepsy. I think what happened is that he had a seizure and then fell over the thingy. My heart went out to him. How scary and also how vulnerable you are lying there seizing with a bunch of strangers staring. I pray his head injury was not life threatening and that he will be ok.
Come to think of it, that is the 2nd time I have called 911 in an week! The other time was Saturday night. Oh no - guess where?! The Wal Mart parking lot! However, this was at a different Wal Mart. I don't hang out at Wal Marts - I promise. I was actually passing through this parking lot going to Kohl's on Saturday night. A guy was in his truck sitting at a stop sign in the parking lot, sound asleep! Nothing was waking him up. I just knew he was going to start rolling and either hit someone or hit another car. Sure enough...starts rolling across the lot. Finally he woke up. I don't know if he had just worked a double shift at KFC right there or if he were drunk. Either way - the Sheriffs came to check him out.
I'm staying away from Wal Mart for a few days...
