Trail Cam Friday!! #TrailCam #IdahoWildlife
So, remember when I said I was moving the trail cam? I put it between the house and the barn. Look at my creative trail cam holder. And the look of “What is she doing NOW” On The Husband’s face! And half of ME! Turns out to be A PERFECT spot!!! My friends are protected from the weather. I even caught some dancin’ out there! The first few pictures were soooooo crisp and clear! I was giddy. THEN….. the FINGERPRINTS showed up. Let’s NOT name names (THE HUSBAND!) moved the camera and left behind 3 very nice fingerprints (IN THE CENTER OF THE LENS!) that made all the rest of the pictures well…… *yucky. *NOT the first, second or twelfth word to come to mind. I a long string of *yucky words I might add. Since I hate for you not to have some really crisp clear pictures, the following are from the trip to the mailbox in the 4×4 we call The Mule. Our road is soooooo bad, it may be April before I get out again. So, the trail cam lens has been cleaned. The camera has been reset. We’ll see what we get next week! I hope…

Oh What A Vacation!
First, that vacation was AAAAAAHHHHHHMAZING!!!!! Yes, I missed all of my little Peanuts. But, I had a great time with my kids (Selena and Zachary) and families. Mostly an awesome time with granddaughter Alice. I also got to spend some quality time with my bonus granddaughter Olivia. The girls are 8 and 10 so they got along fabulously. I spent time between the two families. Selena, Dan and Alice. Then time with Zachary, Amber and Olivia. (okay, I have to do it again! They live 19 miles apart and it takes 2 HOURS to get to the other house. WHATTHE#$&(#%*#@^%!! Sorry, I just needed to remind myself Sandpoint, Idaho is such an amazing place to live and San Diego County is CrAzY!! I mean CRAZY with a capitol C!! Where! IS EVERYONE going all the TIME!?) The Haunted Road trip ended out to be a hiking road trip. APPARENTLY, ghosts don’t haunt on Mondays and Thursdays; the days we were in the haunted areas because those were the days they are closed. Ummmmm okay. FINE!! I will hike. Which I truly did enjoy. Selena? She power walks, she does not hike! I did not know this was a race. I…

Happy Sunday!!
Happy Sunday little Peanuts. This was a great week! Went to town a couple of times. (OH MY GOSH; I am country again!! I now say things like “Going to town“)One of our trips we walked downtown Sandpoint and stumbled upon the CUTEST shops!!! One of them is called “Burlwood Dreams”. I need! Yes, NEED one of these bears for our front porch!! HOW cute are these faces?!?! I love that these are made by the owner of the family owned and operated shop. I am truly obsessed with these bears!! And in case you missed my Instagram post about the attack of the hummingbird……….. I was hanging my new hummingbird feeder. Was leaning out over the rail on the second story. Something buzzed my ear. I freaked. Thought it was a wasp and swatted it. HARD! I wasn’t 100% sure we had hummingbirds up here so I didn’t expect anything. ESPECIALLY before I finished hanging the damn thing up! I shook like a leaf for hours afterwards! I think in that split second I thought I was going to fall from the second deck(leaning too far over the rail), drop the brand new pretty red glass feeder or get stung…

How Do You Make New Friends??
My dear little Peanuts I need your help again. I am 14 days out for the move to Idaho. I’m a big ole pile of emotions. A little nervous (soooooooo lying VERY nervous), a little excited (again…… so lying……VERY excited) and a hefty mix of little dread (NOT lying!). I need help! How do YOU make new friends? As a kid you’re parents move you. You have very little say in the matter. (NO matter what your parents tell you. Sorry kids!) The kids go to school you make new friends. Viola (hopefully) they are happier than ever!! Yes, it takes a little time, but kids are pretty resilient. How do you as adults find new friends? I am looking for ideas. In real life I’m pretty shy until I know you. (seriously! I promise! NOOOO REALLY!!! I AM!!!) I am NOT an athletic 60-year-old. I lean more towards a comfortable couch potato. So joining a hiking, climbing, bike riding, running group is a firm and absolute NO; with the exception of hiking on our property with my camera and hiking sticks. I mean HELLO! Look at my view!! Of course I will wander around our 10 acres. (yes, I…
