Oscar's arrival

We are smitten.
Oscar is a 4 month old Havanese puppy.
We went to Spokane to get him--seven hour drive each way.

These are not the greatest pictures. And we are struggling to get him used to being "crated." He likes best to be held in my arms. I was looking for a companion dog, but I wasn't really looking for a full time baby. We're working on it. He is ADORABLE.
More to follow.

Golden days

It's November and we are finally settling in to our winter habitat.
Although tomorrow we go to Spokane to get our new PUPPY!

Life is good.

Spa Weekend for Mum's 80th birthday

Eight of us, three generations of Raynes' women, enjoyed good food,
great spa treatments, lots of stories, and laughter-filled time together

in honor of Mum's 80th birthday.

Travels with Annelle,

I'm feeling soooo much better.



We had such a good time enjoying the fall colors across Hwy 20 to the Methow, from Sauk Mtn, and up in Whistler.
The waterfall is Shannon Falls off the Sea to Sky Highway.

Fall photo travels with Annelle

I just returned from traveling with Annelle.
These are my favorite two photos.

And this is my great travel buddy, Annelle.

Embracing Autumn

Textures etc.

I love the puzzle bark of the Ponderosa Pine; I like it even better up close like this (and the smell is amazing).
















Sky watch - reflected inside Rainy Lake...










Subtle colors of fall are lovely too.
