Just a couple of old ladies on a road trip to Mt. Mitchell along the Blue Ridge Parkway, June 6, 2026. The wild rhododendrons lining the highway only add to the Parkway’s beauty. Have a wonderful day, find your beauty today. Be Kind. Off to catch up on chores.

Have a wonderful Tuesday. It’s still raining here in the mountains, and the humidity is off the charts! Be kind to one another and stand together.♥️👊👍Thank you to all who follow I do appreciate you!

Yesterday, a friend took me on a new path that I was able to walk. Along the way, we came across an old wheel and a few other worn items lying in the mud. Wishing everyone a wonderful and peaceful day!♥️

Went out for an early walk yesterday before the heat set in and forgot I had taken this. Springtime and flowers—ahhhh. Lovely irises peeking up in a neighbor's flowerbed. Find the beauty in your day.

Happy Lazy Caturday from Mr. Boo, better known as the "fat cat." My daughter's overstuffed boy is soaking up the spring breezes, listening to the chirping birds, and wearing that unmistakable “do not disturb” expression. Enjoy the day, everyone—off to explore Bluesky!

Good morning, friends! Spread kindness wherever you go today. Now off to do some vetting and follow backs. I will never catch up but I try. Thanks for the follows, I truly appreciate it. I’ll never stop standing up for our humanity.

Sunsets in Wyoming always took my breath away. Found this old photo from 2012. Have a great week.

Living alone, I naturally thought today was Monday. Happy Tuesday—smile, make a memory, and be kind! 👊♥️

Every Sunday when I lived in WA was road trip day, and this photo is from Cannon Beach. Have a great day—get out, make some memories, and relax. Whatever you’re stressing about will still be there tomorrow or may already have worked itself out. Just take care of yourself and the people you love!

Sitting and listening to the water flow, I think back to last fall at Deep Creek and wish I could be there today. It’s been raining for days now. Happy Saturday—may this weekend be a time to replenish the body, mind, and soul. Wishing you a peaceful weekend.♥️👋.

I watched the Rod Stewart concert the other night and woke up in Maggie Valley. I named my second-to-last daughter Maggie, and now “Wake up Maggie, I think I have something to say to you” is stuck in my head as we watched this sunrise. Have a wonderful day, be kind, and try to find peace in each day

Last night’s sunset at Maggie Valley overlook was a stunning display of nature’s beauty. Wishing everyone a wonderful Wednesday. Physical therapy this morning—oh, the joy and fun! I’ll check back in later. Remember to be kind to others and to yourself.

Get out and vote today in Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Oregon and Pennsylvania! 🗳️

Took a short hike up to where these beautiful Laurels are blooming in the mountains! The sky is a brilliant blue, and the air is rich with the scent of flowers. What a good day to be alive.

I love water pictures and being near the water. The river is fairly low at the moment, but it will rise as they release water from the dam. This is called Deep Creek—though it’s not so deep right now! Have a wonderful Sunday. I am out for the day, warming up , sun is shining!!

Just another day spent enjoying the company of these walking companions by the lake. I think this was back in 2017, at the lake in front of the Capitol building in Olympia.

My first time at the West Coast beaches was a bit of a shock. It was a tough hike down to the water, but totally worth it. Second Beach, WA, 2017. Happy Sunday to all—wishing everyone a peaceful day!

When I lived in Olympia, WA, near the Capitol, there was a large lake open for everyone to walk around, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots. I always had company on those walks, the ducks who thought they owned that water and they squawked at me the entire way.♥️Go take a memory today!!📷

Saturday mood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😉😅

Not my photo. This tree reflects how I feel—I’ve fallen, but I haven’t given up. Life isn’t easy; in fact, it’s very hard. It’s a constant process of learning, often feeling like we can’t take another step, yet somehow finding the strength to keep going. I’ll always find a way to survive. ♥️

Good morning, friends! Wishing you a wonderful day. Remember to be kind and always take care of yourself. Off to explore Bluesky and do some follow-backs—coffee in hand, ready or not, here I come!

Good morning, Bluesky friends. If you want to fight for something, fight for our planet. We must take care of it, because without this beautiful place, none of us have a home. It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor—this is all we’ve got, and once it’s gone, so are we. Be kind to each other.

Happy Monday! Step into the week with purpose—your path is waiting. Spread some kindness today; it’s a gift that keeps on giving.♥️👊💙👍 together we can be unstoppable!

Panama Beach has incredibly beautiful white sand, and one of the nicest surprises was discovering flowers growing right in it. Taking the day to relax and recharge the mind and soul with my bestie Bentley. Go create some memories and enjoy a wonderful day!

Bentley got an unexpected bath today. I put him in the tub to clean his paws, but after some disagreement, we both ended up soaked. He’s now avoiding me for at least the next three hours. With arthritis in my back and hips, getting down there to do it was painful but you don’t see me pouting!😀

Stay still and quiet, or you might miss what’s being said. Yesterday, I turned off my phone, no new. As givers, we often forget how important it is to care for ourselves. Have a wonderful day, be kind to others, and remember to be kind to yourself too.♥️ Happy Weekend to all!

Every time I head out of town, I pass Grumpy Bear Campgrounds. How lucky am I to see this whenever I want? Have a wonderful Wednesday—find your place of peace and enjoy.

The hiker gals went on a hike to some waterfalls yesterday. Sent me this one. I can’t tackle that trek anymore—my log-crossing days are behind me—but I’m so thrilled they thought of me. Have a wonderful Tuesday, be kind, and find your peace.

Good morning from Bentley! He’s still rocking his Easter bandana, but it might be time for a change. Wishing you a day full of joy—find something that brings your heart peace. Be kind to yourself and to those around you. Now off for PT!!🐕👋♥️💙

Good morning, Bluesky friends! Here we go again with another week ahead. Not sure what this one will bring, but sending positive thoughts to everyone for the day! ♥️

Good morning! Fresh coffee and good friends make for a perfect start to the day.👋 Time to see what’s happening on Bluesky today. Be kind and share a smile!😀♥️💙☕

Celebrate your fluffy friends this National Puppy Day! 🐕 It’s a joyful day for my boy Bentley, who will be treated like the king he is. I can’t imagine how empty my world would be without him. I’d share puppy pics, but I rescued him five years ago when he was already five.

One of my favorite pictures will always be of the stones placed by visitors at Ruby Beach, WA. I wish I knew the story behind each one. That day, I placed three—one for a friend and one for my daughter. We were new to WA then, but we loved exploring the beaches along the West Coast.

Not my picture, I just love this one so much , wanted to share. The sun shining through like a fan spread out of lovely lace, made me almost cry. No matter how ugly the outside world becomes, you just go and find your beauty that makes you smile or even cry. ♥️

Great Smoky Mountain hiking trail to one of the many waterfalls. I wish I had been able to go, but my friend sent me this shot. Ahhhh I can almost hear the water. Happy Sunday. Did you remember to spring forward??

So far this is my Saturday morning. Have a good day, it is going to take a few extra cups of coffee for me.. Thank you to all who are following, I am vetting and following back. Be kind to each other, share a smile.

Hello all. I have been down with sciatica for 7 days... starting to be able to sit without too much pain. I will try and vet and follow back soon. Have a wonderful day, be kind.

Little outing up to the river to watch and listen to the water rushing by. Best therapy for my soul. This Whale Rock wish I had sound for you. Have a great day, be kind.

Sorry I have not been around lately taking mental health days. I will catch up soon with follow backs, I do appreciate each of them. Just a beautiful day here in the WNC mountains it is 70 today, no breeze, almost broke a sweat, hahahah. Be kind to each other. ♥️

Took a ride to take my boy Bentley to the groomers. This is Nantahala Outdoor Center not too far from me. We only got a dusting, enough to make it pretty. One of the most visited places during the hot summer.

Good Sunday Morning to all!! Today I will rest, and replinish my soul. Have a peacefill day. Be Kind to each other and to yourself. Now for another cuppa coffee!! Oh, we went from temps in the 70's for about a week, to 30's and lower for the next week, calling for snow today!!🙃 🥶

Good Friday Morning. I found this one from about 3 weeks ago from a friend who always shares with me her outings. Have a great day, and be kind to each other and to yourself. 🌞

This boy!! The look!! I have just picked him up from his grooming, he is so ready to go. In this crazy world of so much hate and ugliness, I am so grateful for the joy and love this boy gives me. Have a wonderful Monday.

Good luck out there today!! Have a wonderful day, be kind and spread some good vibes wherever you are. Thanks for being a friend, now off to do some catching up around here, and follow backs. ♥️💙🐈‍⬛

My happy boy say's good morning to all also. He is patiently waiting for me to walk to the mailbox, his favorite time of the day. I was waiting for a little warm temp first. This is boy is my world.

I took my last cancer treatment Friday!! I will never forget the moment that "I Rang the Bell",🔔 emotions poured out, it took me by surprise how emotional it was. Every single staff, doctor, and patients were clapping and crying with me. I am so grateful to the cancer center for all their support!!♥️

My last picture of a winter wonderland. Great Smokey hiking trail, another photo sent yesterday. It looks so beautiful! Where the snow meets the trees and water. ♥️

Good Tuesday morning friends. Some locals riding around up in the mountains yesterday afternoon took a few shots and sent me this one, love the snow lying on the icy waters. What I see is those patches of Bluesky. Today is very cloudy, looking forward to sunshine again, soon!! Fingers crossed🤞

Downtown Bryson City snowstorm 1/30/26 this was far from over. This tourist town got busy salting and scraping the roads. The other picture is my sisters yard..
