MWT - Lions at Kruger National Park South Africa

I held my breath and my heart stopped beating as the lions walked no more than 10 feet (3.048 meters) from Joan’s truck, just ambling past up the road. The lion is the second largest living cat in the world after the tiger, and we were in a Toyota.  Read more here.

SSS2–Century plant

The misnamed Parry’s century plant, or Agavi parryi, actually  grows for about 25-30 years before producing a 10-18 foot flower stalk that shoots forth at sometimes one foot per day, then dies.  Yet it lives on by propagating itself with offshoots called pups.

Road trip to Laughlin, Nevada—not to gamble

State Route 93

In celebration of Berta’s birthday we made our sometimes annual trip to Laughlin which you can read about here. 

SWF- Black Mountains

On the way to Laughlin, Nevada--not to gamble--ambled along a Colorado River frontage road just north of Bullhead City, Arizona and remembered to look away from the river for a panoramic view of the Black Mountains and sky above.  (Post coming soon about this journey.)

Thrifty Thursday-A true collector

My dear friend Berta is a second-hand shopper extraordinaire.  Last week I shared a few views of her yard and promised I’d tour the inside of her house as well.

Berta likes color and glass.  And what better way to show both off but in a window.  This colorful collection sits above the kitchen sink.

The fireplace was closed off years ago (I like the multi-colored brick).  I think everything in this shot was bought at a thrift store or yard sale.

I call this the “ladies corner” and the only thing purchased new is the window frame with dried flowers bought at a craft show.

Berta can tell you exactly where each wonderful treasure came from, even where the yard sale was.

And I just love how she displays her treasures.

Even her bathroom window is delightful.

I sure hope to get out to do some thrift shopping soon.  What treasures have you discovered?  Join in by linking below.

My dear friend Berta is recovering from a shoulder replacement.  So if you notice any dust, please know we call it “velvet,” and live with it.
