The Beauty of Nature as Well as Fun

Wow, don't know about all of you, but around here there are  lots of activities, gatherings and parties this time of year .

Last weekend was a whirlwind and there was very little time for relaxation. It was go, go, go.

Upcoming are a retirement party, two birthday celebrations , two  Holy Communion ceremonies, two college graduations and on and on.

Whew! I love celebrating happy occasions but it's a little bit  tiring as well as expensive, too, don't you think?

An anniversary dinner party last weekend was in a club overlooking a beautiful lake. 

The vistas were absolutely gorgeous so I was glad I brought my camera. 

The photos are shown in this post.

WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT ALL THE GIFTS NEEDED FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR?
