Spokane's Potty People Gathering - August 2006

[Peggy]

My wonderful hostess Gaea. We are relaxing in the back yard by her loverly pond...(for those who requested (Mags and Polly) take note of the drink Gaea has)



as the hummingbirds flutter around us



and Sadie and Rosco play with each other, beetles, bees, and anything they can find!



We went to the drag races one day



and the parents farm on another...







We met with Marsha for lunch...



Marsha is quite tall...



well, maybe not soooo tall



We went to a vineyard to taste the fruits and enjoy the views...







Some of the scenery on my trip home left a little to be desired...



while other scenery was simply breath taking!







It took me two hours longer to come home through the Cascades, but it was more than worth it!

It was so wonderful to meet Marsha and to stay with my good buddy Gaea and see her again. Thanks again hostess Gaea

Love, Peggy

SPECTACULAR photos, Peg, and sooooo glad you all had a great visit and all went well.

You know, even in the picture of the road and fields, the sky is georgeous!!

Love, Shirley

[Polly]

OOOOOOh, Peg, I LOVE the photos! I feel like I was along on the trip.

Can't believe you got a shot of that hummingbird. Well done!

You and Gaea look terrific, as usual. And it was so good to finally see a photo of Marsha. She is every bit as gawgeous as you two! Marsha, you look so much like a friend of mine named Karen that I couldn't believe it.

And I did note the drink in front of Gaea. Thanks!

Love,

Polly

Love, Maggie

Great pics Peggy....looks like you had a great time. Did you go home via the North Cascade Hwy? JJ

[Peggy]

Hey Jill,


Yes, I did go home via the Cascade hwy. It was a longer, but a much nicer drive than down via the I90. I always try, if I can, to do a different route one way so I can see more of the country. I'd heard many nice things about the Cascades, and now can concur.

Love Ya

Hi Peg!

I'm so glad you posted your pictures! I'm kind of wishing I didn't look so tired in them, but, oh well. Remember to tell your husband I'm not always so ditsy.

Love, Marsha

Hi Peggy:

Beautiful pictures. The one of the Golden Pheasant brought back some memories - remember the neighbour we had in Glen Valley? He had some golden pheasants and I did a painting of one for him. They are such beautiful birds.

Gaea, beautiful as ever, and Marsha too. It's so neat to meet these friends we've been talking to.

I've promised to take some pictures from around where we live for a friend in Iowa. She's always sending pictures of her area to me, so I'd better get busy.

See you soon.

Love - Momster

B - U - T - ful pics Peg! You missed your calling - shoulda been a photographer!

Glad you enjoyed your trip - everyone looks so wonderful!

Love,
Mars

I agree Mars. Peggy has certainly missed her calling. Those photos are amazing. Peg you are a very clever lady. I have actually saved a few of them if you don't mind Peg. So that bird is a golden pheasant? I was wondering what it was. And I just love the one with the honeyeater. Going to use it as a desktop. Like to know just what is in that huge drink as well.

I bet you all had a great time together. You all look so happy.

Love

Liz

You gals look like you had a great time. Thanks for the pics.

Love,
Cristi

[Peggy]

Hey Liz,

We did have a wonderful time. I don't mind a bit if you use any of the photos, I'm actually flattered that you would Too bad there is a fence in the background with the hummingbird, but at least I got his/her wings.

The drink is a margarita; tequila (only the best, Jose Cuervo), a margarita mix - lime based, salt rimmed glass, and ice.

Love
Peg

Thanks for posting these awesome pictures Pegster! You really are good with the camera. Looks like you ladies had a great time!

It's fun to be able to put a face with a name and Marsha, this is the first glimpse of you if seen. Your beautiful too!!! Glad you could all get together.

Love,
Joanna

Thanks so much Peg for posting the pictures. Your camara (and you) takes such great pics except with people, it always adds 20 lbs. We had a great time. I just wish you lived closer. I miss you!

Marsha, I need to hook up with you again before you fly south with the birds.

It was so fun meeting another potty people. I wonder if MC affects the brain/personality? I swear everyone I meet just fits right in. Marsha is so cute and funny, loved meeting her and look forward to the road trip with her to Oregon next summer.
Love Gaea

Gaea,
Definitely affects the personality -- you've described me to a "T." Luce
