Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot! Today my snapshot is of a tree frog. Have you seen or heard one of these? Cute little critter! One of my absolute favorite thing to do is sit outside in the late evening (dark) sitting by the poolside, the solar lights glimmering and the sound of tree frogs. Peaceful.
This is the first time I had the opportunity to get up close to a tree frog. It was on the side of our cabin (down by the pond). It was a beautiful day when my daughter and her family came out for a visit.
Isn’t it so cute?!
Have a wonderful week!
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi, welcome to Gma’s Photo. Another month has come and gone. One of my photo memories that popped up on my phone is the featured image I selected for this post. It really doesn’t have anything to do with July, however- I found it funny. I wanted to share a funny! Seems each month goes faster than the last. In five, we will be preparing for Christmas. Image that! For now, I will concentrate on what I did in July. Here is my one line a day for July.
01. Monday. Linda is busy with her firework stands. Our virtual walk is postponed until after the firework season has ended.
02. Tuesday. Making a list of things needing to do before the party.
03. Wednesday. I miss my virtual walks with Linda.
04. Dinner and movie night with Adam. Lots of people shooting fireworks! Adam’s little dog, Illi, did not like the sounds throughout the night.
05. I took the day off from work. Went to the hospital for the Prolia shot. Spent the rest of the day getting ready for our July Summer Party!
06. Kevin made pulled pork. We asked our guest to bring a side dish. So many delicious foods were brought. My sister in law wanted a sibling picture. This is Kevin’s parents and siblings.
07. Drove Adam home after breakfast. Once home worked on the blog and went to bed early.
08. Back to work. Busy day after holiday weekend. Washed Dixie, our Australian Shepard. She had an encounter with a little white striped kitty. 🤭
09.
10. Dinner and Movie night with Adam. For dinner we had some left over pulled pork. Oh so delicious!
11. I sure enjoy my frozen dark sweet cherries with low fat vanilla yogurt!
One of my favorite summertime breakfast!
12. Went with Erika and her family to see the Little Mermaid musical at Starlight Theatre.
13. Had a sleep in morning. Worked on my blog. Took a nap. Watching the news and seen Donald Trump assassination attempt. Scary.
14. Went apartment hunting with Adam.
15. It’s Monday again. Linda and I are back to our virtual walking!
16. Tuesday. I didn’t realize just how much I enjoy walking with Linda.
17. Wednesday. Movie and Dinner night with Adam.
18. Thursday. Typical day at work.
19. TGIF! The best time of the weekend is 5.30pm. I have the whole weekend ahead of me!
20. Saturday. Mom asked that I drive her and dad to his appointment Monday morning. I had to get the details of Monday and make arrangements for work.
21. Sunday. Spent the night at my folks house. Wanted to be there in plenty of time on Monday morning. Had a wonderful visit with my parents.
22. Monday. Went with my parents in the morning. Dad had a colonoscopy scheduled and I was the designated driver. All was good. Amen!
23. Tuesday. Kevin’s 59th Birthday!
24. Wednesday. Virtual walk with Linda.
25. Thursday. Dinner and movie night with Adam. I have no idea what to have for dinner. We have lots of tomatoes from the garden. A salad is sounding perfect! Movie, Land of Bad. Not a family movie, but I must admit a good watch.
26. Friday. Our 38th anniversary. Took the day off as a vacation day. Kevin is cutting hay this weekend before the next round of rain. Next week is supposed to be hot and will need to get the hay put up before it burns. For lunch a repeat of dinner last night. Home grown tomatoes!
27. Saturday, I am bored. Have you ever had one of these days? I did a Google search for events in my area. This is what I found. On my way to check it out!
28. Sunday. Spent the evening in the ER. Kevin had been working out in the pasture. He had come to the gate, parked the tractor. He had gotten out of the tractor to open the gate. He heard a popping sound. That is when the tractor advanced, pinned him between the tractor and barbed wire fence. The hedge post kept the tractor from possibly breaking a rib or several. So with the cut from the barbed wire on his arm, Kevin was very lucky. 13 stitches later he is sleeping.
Three hours at the ER!
29. Monday. Work as usual. Felt tired all day.
30. Tuesday. Woke up with a really bad stomach ache. Held the throne with the trash can between my knees very royal like.
31. Wednesday, Another day with the stomach bug.
It’s now August 1st and I am still not feeling the best. Called in sick and have a doctor’s appointment for follow up. I just want to make sure the ‘bug’ is not more to do with my Crohn’s.
Hi, welcome to Gma’sPhoto! I was out cleaning the pool and this little frog was taking a swim. Each day I clean the skimmer and scoop out any leaves in the pool. Well, today I saw the leaves in the bottom. To my amazement, a frog was in the mix of leaves.
Look what I found in the swimming pool!
It’s always fun to see what little critters the pool attracts. So far I have not come across a snake!
Have a fun day.
Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 20! My husband’s favorite holiday is Independence Day. For the past 8 years we have been driving to this one particular fireworks warehouse, PJs Fireworks in St. Joesph, MO. This year he spent more then ever before. Kevin was like a kid in a candy shop. As we rounded the end of one isle we were face to face with a new firework we have never seen. It’s the Kevin image above. Remember, my husband’s name is Kevin. We both laughed. Very fitting for him. Check out what’s in the cart below.
Of course we had to get one! Many different options to choose from. Always fun to see what he picks out.
We have a nice pond area. A small cabin with a fire pit is on one side of the pond. All the girls and kids get to set and watch as the guys are on the other side of pond lighting the fireworks.
A grand time boom, bang! I am looking forward to seeing this year’s display.

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 18. We had an invite to go to a fish fry. Kevin’s friend, Ed, called last week and extended the invitation. Kevin and Ed have been friends since their high school days. Ed’s large extended family celebrated several graduates, birthdays and an anniversary. Lots of family and friends, food and fish! The fish was excellent.
The pathway that leads to the outhouse.
The gathering was held outside, quite the distance from the main house. Ed had his uncle build this luxury commodity. Much better than finding a ‘tree’. ❤
Brand new outhouse.
In case you were wondering about the truck; the blue barrel filled with water, had a faucet that could be turned on or off. A bar of soap is to the left of the barrel.
On the walk back to the fish fry, this was the view of the pond.
In short, I never have liked using an ‘outhouse’. I have always cringed at needing to use one. This time the experience was somewhat ‘pleasant’. Very unexpected 🙂
Have a wonderful week!
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
