Our BEAUTIFUL Sunset last night.

Just another beautiful sunset last night...had to
catch it on film before it got away from me!
How could I resist!

Dad (Grandpa) working on his TAN...

Catchin' some rays.
Everyday, dad lays out by the
pool to work on his tan. This
was last Sunday with all his
dress clothes on. I thought it
was so funny...he keeps talking
about working on his TAN.

"PILLOW TALK"


I was looking for some pillows for the two
couches in the living room (we actually USE
our pillows on the couch...not just for looks
but to lay on or take naps on), so I wanted
some that were, well, USEABLE and that I
could actually clean, and that were comfort-
able. These are down pillows inside and
zipper/removeable covers that can be cleaned.
(I looked at hundreds of little pillows and there
were so many really, really cute ones, but just
not practical)...I'm not "Practical Pam" for
nothing :-) As much as these will get used,
They had to be able to be easily cleaned!
So, with some of my birthday money, I
got these.

Getting Ready to go to Meeting

Just headed out the door for Sunday Morning
Meeting when Derek was in Havasu for a few
days' visit. The boys weren't "thrilled" about
having to get their picture taken...
Oh Well, ADJUST...us girls wanted
pictures!!!

FRESH BUZZ

What is it???
Smile....
Derek had me "buzz" his hair
before he left for Seattle this
afternoon. Looks like he
plans to come back again in
January and start some college
classes.

Happy Thanksgiving Time...


I found this little lamp at the thrift store the
other day for only $5.00...what a bargain...
I thought it was so cute...did I need it???
No...did I want it???
Yes...so I got it, and it does
look pretty cute on the the entry table
with my "skinny" Pilgrims and
funny little turkey all decked out!

My "New" Thrift-Store Skirt


Awful 'self-portrait' but was happy to
find this white skirt at the thrift store
yesterday for $3.50.
It's no "biggie" just a silly little
thrift-store find!

Our Beautiful Sunsets the past two days...







The past two nights have been beautiful for

They change so quickly...
actually within seconds or minutes.

Stargazer Lilies

So, Malia's boyfriend, Austin sent these
beautiful flowers to the house for Malia's
17th birthday last Wednesday.
They are gorgeous flowers but I must say, I'm
not very fond of the aroma they leave, so I'll
just look them from afar...since they aren't where
I can see them anyway...as they found a home in
Malia's bedroom!!!

Out of the Blue....

So, on our way to union meeting this morning in Blythe (CA),
Tom & I are in the front seat of the car, Daniel & Malia are
in the backseat and Tom (dad) says:
"Is the ambient temperature suitable to everyone's
likeable likes?"
Daniel: "Uhhhhhh What"?
Tom: (he repeats the big long sentance again)...
Daniel: "I guess the answer to that is.........yes, I think so...."
Tom: Or, to make things simpler..."Is the temperature fine
here in the car?"........
