Back to Blogging...."I know what I did this Summer" (movie reference)

Well hello all, It's been awhile. I promise I will never leave blogging for this long again! It has been quite a few months so let's catch up, well I left you on Mother's Day, which lead to Father's Day and Summer. Mr. I got a new bike from son and now he commutes to work by bike. It was a great month, June of 2010. Filled with fun but not much sunshine.


Then...on June 30th. I was laid off from my job.  Now I know it seems like it would be a bad thing....but we knew it was coming so we have been making the best of it. The job market is pretty dry right now, but it will improve, so for now, we just enjoyed the summer.....like this.....The beautiful Oregon Coast Fourth of July weekend.

Then the flowers of Summer, Dahlias from the Farmer's Market in Vancouver

then our adventure to Port Townsend, where we sailed a 100 ft sailboat, with help of course.

MR. I had sooo much fun

Beautiful Day

Beautiful Sunset

then August came, and I made a trip to New Mexico to see my Mom and Dad and Sister and her husband Alex.

As you can see, I am reluctant to travel alone

But I'm OK once I'm with my "Peeps"

Nirvana for Ron and Mary, Bingo and Daughters

I forgot how beautiful the clouds are in New Mexico

And how flowers stand out....

And the Sleeping Lady

And the Sweeties

New Mexico Landscape

Road to Home

Now there is much more detail to all of these adventures coming in future blogs, but I really just wanted to give a "broad stroke" for today.

And speaking of today.....Can I just say....Life is really really Good.

MR. I and Andrew Commuting

Much Love MamaBus
