A Granddaughter’s Gift
I was fighting a battle of boredom from staying home with a case of the flu bug. Terrible to spend days and hours alone. My Granddaughter solved the problem by bringing me over a 1000 piece puzzle!

Happy Morning
Yesterday morning, I opened my kitchen blinds these two bright, shinny, hot air balloons floating over my house. Stepping out onto the back porch, I took a snapshot of this happy way to start a day. http://www.mariefmartin.com
Too Hot
The Northwestern Montana summer has really warmed up, so instead of fighting the heat on the golf course us golfing buddies cruised all the way along the shoreline of Whitefish Lake looking at wonderful homes built around it. The speed of the boat kept us cool and we had lots of laughs.
