Good Days With Happiness

One more week in August and it is still good to be out and about.  I walked over the pickup the main on Saturday late afternoon. Some clouds that is good even though there has not been any rain lately. I walked on the back of our home to view what is back there. I rarely do that and good with a walker that helps me keep walking instead of falling! ๐Ÿ’œThis comes through on our neighbors' side. I like what they have and they got new roof on two weeks ago. We were told that whatever is on our side that we can cut it off and keep it. I would if there were flowers. 
Megan had a good time in Canby to be at the fairgrounds and view things then food to eat and watched the rodeo. She had a good time with her friends from church while they were walking around looking at various places. I remember being at rodeos in St. Paul but it's hard to find places to get our car to parked and hard times to get up and down wherever we were sitting. 





My mug of tea with the sea turtle "swimming" in at Playa Pikado, Curaco. 
August begins in five more weeks and it will be different then and sun goes done sooner. Hopefully there will be rain soon and not have to water outdoors every day. 
I went to bible study this morning and we were reading more in the Matthew. Two more weeks to read the rest Matthew then have a new bible study that is in first and second Peter. That is one that I have not had but I know that Peter was a disciple with other men that connected to Jesus our Savior through God our Father in heaven. 

I hope you are doing well through your days and being helpful and kind to other people. Have a good week and into next month.

Another Summertime!!

Another time in summer here in Oregon. I have some older flowers outdoors and I like the ones that we have. Megan likes flowers as well. It has been good days with a lot of sun and a two weeks ago there was fires that made the air quality bad, especially when people have allergies. Both Megan and I wore masks when we go outside. A bit like that yesterday but better now.


These two photos are ones that I saw on my computer. One on top is a Puget Sound Ferry. I remember being on those a few times, especially when we were visiting my sister Kerri in WA. Good to put our car in the ferry and go safely to the other side of the river and back to the other side after the visit. 
It was lighthouse day that I saw this photo and it looks like one that I have seen on the beach when Phil and I were there on the OR beach. 

I have a friend that sends me text messages, and I like to use some of them on my phone. That way I can share it with other people. The sunflowers are this time of year. I like seeing sunflowers as I am driving west on freeway and it's on the right side of road. I can't stop to take a photo of it but still looks good!!

On Facebook I saw this through what Holloman AFB, NM were doing for people in need. No water to drink due to way to a storm. The city that was close to it was asked for help and HAFB group went there and some food, if I remember right. I remember being on that HAFB years ago and good to watch what they are doing now. 
Interesting things that Megan had on her phone, and I was able to use it as it's elsewhere where she was at on her vacation a week ago. 
I like watching on that one the tv as well. 

 



My friend Gwen told me what her oldest grandson was doing on FB that he was helping fires to go away in WA. I heard that at church as well. I am glad that there's less fires in Spokane. 


I hope that you are having another happy day and know that you like scripture verses as well. God is the one who build the world many generations ago. Enjoy the rest of your week and be safe and healthy with family and friends.

Hot days and fires around Oregon and Washington



Early August and it's still hot days outdoors and some areas where the fires are at. Sad that had to happen again a few years ago. Mug had tea in it and USA flag behind the mug. I took that photo years ago at cemetery that I view, especially veterans are at that are celebrated and put flags on them and flowers.  The tree that has purple flowers on it is neighbor's house across the street where we live. They have a lot less in their house as they are now living in Idaho. We miss them as they have been helpful and good to talk with. Air Quality was at 139 before I left house to get to Molalla for my Dental Clinic for my cleaning appointment this morning. It got higher at Molalla 179 but there was bluer in the sky that morning and less once that I got back home. I did not have any issues with my teeth. I need to figure out what insurance for teeth appointments will be 2027. Phil is retiring in December. 



I had another delicious lunch at adult center Wednesday. I like the foods they give us.  

I shopped at Safeway and found the Splenda that I like and the celebrate the 250 years in the USA!! Both Megan and I use the sweetener. I used raw honey in the tea that I had for my lunch at home due to allergies outdoors with all the yucky smells when it's high in air quality. It doesn't bother other people, but it does to other people. 




Phil, Megan and I were going to the National Day Out on Tuesday evening, but no policeman or firefighters would be there. Sad that had to happen as it was good to be there. I saw one the Foursquare Church yesterday when I was going to Dutch Bros to get tea. I do not know any updates about it as there are places to help for firefighters and police.

Paris tea that I got from DB and a new sticker.  Close to adult center before lunch. I did stay there after lunch and did coloring on paper that all I had to do was to color it. Almost done and will do it by the end of the week to send it to someone next week.


I was leaving Bauman's after checking out and looking outside to get to my car. I had Peach Arnold Palmer tea. I like that cold tea as it was needed as well.

Megan is on her vacation this afternoon after she was done at VBS at Grace Chapel in Wilsonville. I am glad she's out and about and staying at a hotel and have a good and safe time.

I find this Precious Moments on Facebook, and I enjoy PM company as I enjoy the PM items and have a bible that's PM as well, from friends who were our pastor at Woodburn Christian Church. They sent it to me years ago.
