Smiles

 I think we may have seen some of these before, but they are still fun!

 

The last one is my personal favorite 😊

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Here Comes the Sun

I always wanted to see the sunrise over the ocean. My past attempts were always thwarted by fog. Since the September 1st forecast was for clear skies, I tried once again. Arriving at the beach 5:15 am to catch first light, I was treated to a fantastic show as the sun rose from the water right in front of me. It was a spectactular way to start the day. I wish each of you could have been with me to experience the magical beginning of that day. 

Have a great week, friends!

 These are definitely self-explanatory!

You're the best! 😍

Thanks to Amy for sharing! Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Birthday, Roxie!!

Look at that! We have another birthday to celebrate. Today it's our dear Blogger Queen Roxie's birthday. Our friend who is not only the blogger who has kept us going, but she's the finest caretaker of our handsome fella Duncan! Truthfully, you are much more than that. We could go on, but the party is starting.

Roxie, we wish you a very, very Happy Birthday!! You are a special person here on the blog, and in real life. Please enjoy the party we've put together for you. Just pull up a chair and let us take care of the rest. Today is your day to relax and enjoy yourself!

Happy Birthday, dear friend. Enjoy!!

You all look a bit thirsty. Hold on a minute.

Cheers, Roxie! Everyone, grab a glass or two.

A few flowers for the birthday lady.

Time for birthday cake. In a pandemic, it's best to have every type of cake imaginable.

A party favor especially for you, Roxie...

... And a little something for the morning, in case there was excessive celebration today!

Happy Birthday, Roxie!! 

Wishing you happiness, health and love in the year to come. xoxo

Looking at the Beauty Beyond

 Happy Friday, friends! 

We made it through another week, so that's something to be happy about. We're also happy that our fearless leader, Regina, is now at home resting and recovering. Sending much love and healing light to you over the miles, R. 

Joe Biden just picked his running mate, Kamala Harris, which makes me hopeful for the first time in almost 4 years. Like her or not, it's hard not to be giddy to think about how she'll take on the current VP in the debate. She suffers no fools.

Hopeful. I like that word. It brings up thoughts of a brighter future. The images this week are meant to express that feeling, with optimism towards a brighter, more beautiful future for all of us.

It has been difficult to find things to smile about lately. However, the following pictures worked for me. 😊 I hope all of you are amused by them as well!
