what a day...

This is a backblip
it has been a crazy weekend
not sure crazy good or crazy bad

One thing I'm bummed about is not being able to meet up with jerispics. We tried so hard but when you only have a couple days and so many outside elements are involved, it can make it hard to plan. We will be meeting soon! Also, QuirkyGirl was down in our area camping. I would have liked to have met with her, too!! Again, so much going on. We will have to plan a mini blipmeet very soon :)

Glenn has a couple doctor appointments up in Portland on Monday. I decided last minute to ride up with him. Went into work for a bit(it was super busy!) then we headed out of town. I took a quick minute, or two...maybe it was 10, to stop at the Butterfly Pavilion. The gardens there are spectacular! I love to stop there when I can. There are usually lots of butterflies and humming birds and bees but today not so much. Well, lots of bees but the hummers and butterflies must have been busy elsewhere. This Echinacea - Coneflower (Pink) was taken there. Such a photogenic flower, I think. I could have stayed all day!! But, we had a long drive ahead of us.

Made it up to our home in Newberg by early evening. Walked into a mess. I was already having a hard time and just didn't want to be there so we got a room near where Glenn had one of his dr. appointments in the morning. I enjoyed seeing the kids. And, my critters(especially my lab, Kona) Alas, our middle one is really testing us. And, with the cousin here from Sweden, it is awkward for us. Ack...what to do

Happy Sunday
