June – July 2017
I think I figured out that if I sit down and write what has
been happening in the lives of SIT it wouldn’t feel like the summer is
screaming by. I can think that right?!
Well since I last wrote we have been up to our usual of
tending the garden, playing some golf, doing things around the house, and
spending time in Cascade. Steve has been fishing a couple of times but the fish
haven’t turned on yet. No it’s not that his fishing mojo went on vacation, it
is the same for all the fisher-dudes around.
I have decided to continue my change stuff disease that
started in our Florida beach bungalow. So Becky, our next door neighbor and
good friend, has a desk that she was tired of looking at. Being the crafty
person I am, I said we can fix that and so we did. She is happy with the
results of the chalk paint transformation. The pictures don’t quite do it
justice but you’ll get the idea of the change!
We also have a couple of old oak book cases in the house
which were screaming “Tory we want a new life”! How could I resist that, I bet
you couldn’t ignore it either.
I did both of them but with a different color base and then
the wash color. They look so much better and are now very happy book cases!
We were able to spend some time in Cascade last week where we
enjoyed a round of golf at their challenging nine-hole course. No matter what
hole you are on when you play your views are pretty spectacular.
That afternoon we took the boat out to fetch balls that end
up in the lake. I am happy to report I didn’t contribute and we were able to
snag 5 so Steve was ahead. You can guess what he did during the game.
Izzy loves to go on the boat but you can imagine it isn’t to
necessarily enjoy our company, so we found a nice little beach area where we
could stop. Izzy doesn’t hesitate once the boat is stopped and one of us gets
into the water. After getting wet and playing awhile she enjoyed a relaxing
tour of the lake and air drying!
Once I got home I took care of the garden which I don’t mind
as our cherry tomatoes are quite tasty. Zucchini is quite abundant, go figure.
I will have to start making all things zucchini. When I was out the other day
the quail decided to hang out in the peas and the general area so I did manage
to get a couple of shots before they headed next door. We enjoy having the
company in the yard and they love to take advantage of the waterfall.
Well that’s it for now. We will certainly continue to enjoy
the summer and I am pretty sure I am not done with changing stuff nor is Steve
done with trying to catch fish so as always stay tuned for more from SIT!
