Happy September --and Happy Labor Day 2025

 Dear Blog Friends,    I can't believe that it's September.   It's a month we have always loved.   Fall is almost here --and it is a favorite season.  Love the cooler, crisp air,  and of course Football Season.  

Happy Labor Day also.   We are headed to Mark and Robin's home in Friendsville  to spend the day with them.   Should be a great day.

September is also the month that George and I loved to travel all through the years.   SO --I'll share a few photos from our September Travels.   Hope you enjoy them!!

Have a great month!!!! Get out and enjoy the weather!!

HUGS,

BETSY AND GEORGE

More of This Year's Roses

 Dear Blog Friends.....  WELL---it's August  and it's my BIRTHDAY MONTH.....  Yeah!!  Hubby is taking me to Maggie Valley for a couple of days.   We are looking forward to just getting away.   I was born on AUGUST 5,  1942,   so the numbers say that I'll be 83.....I'm glad to still be here to live my glorious life with George and my family and friends.... 

My August post are more of the beautiful ROSES that have bloomed and are blooming in our yard this year...  We don't have nearly as many flowers anymore like we used to,   but that makes me appreciate what we have even more.   If you want to see the names of the ROSES,  just put your mouse on each picture.

Hope all of you are doing well.   

Love to all,

BETSY and GEORGE
