I never had a chance to post a few things I was excited about ,so I am cramming them all into this one post- if you are too busy, either come back later or grab a cuppa and read on-mostly photos...
My sweet dil Julie Neal,bought me this lovely basket of flowers for Mother's Day! Thank you Jules!

| Chum did not want to be left out of the excitement so he decided to grab Mommas slipper to be photographed with! |
A huge box arrived from Amazon and in it was a huge blue velvet bag with a letter saying do not open the card yet- keep the surprise going!
Inside was a beautiful treasure trove of sweets and treats and gardening gloves and tools as well as some flower seeds!
Best of all it was from my wonderful children,Lindsey, Lenny &Neda!
I love you all soooo much and miss you!!xo
Such a riot-look at these cute little pieces inside!!
Freezer tape(lol),mini basket with,vegetable pushpins, Pineapple stapler,
Celery stalk pen and block of butter sharpener
Strawberry Cheesecake tape measure
and crafting scissors tucked in the back!!
Such a fun little surprise! Thanks my sis and Tim!! Love you!!
Next up...the first of our barn,lawn/weeding out sales! More came out as the weekend went by, but ohhh so much more stuff still to come!
...and then there is picking strawberries every two days.
Yes, they ARE as YUMMY as they look!
Covered head to toe and sweating profusely!! Too many mosquitoes and hot sun for me!!
Next, I received some lovely art from my online art friend Pam Wildeboar. You are just a honey Pam!
Okay, here is where you find out,just how sick I really am! So we are having sales to get rid of things right? Well, we certainly cannot drive by a (okay,maybe 2 or 3)good garage sales without checking it/them out!!
Anyhow, check out this score!!!
Also,we went camping for eight days! And let me tell you, it was glorious! -More photos another day!

| Momma and Chum swimming and playing catch the ball! |
And finally for today...
last Sunday, my husband surprised me by packing up a picnic dinner and took me and Chum down to the lake,Lake Ontario...
It was 90 something that day with 100% humidity and Chum needed a swim! I would have gone in, but about an hour before we left there was a huge thunderstorm with lots of wind and rain and the water was a bit choppy-Chum didn't care- Obviously!

Have a beautiful Sunday-and Happy Father's Day to my reader's and their families!

What oodles of lovely photos and goodies on show today. My mouth is watering when I see those strawberries, and I just LOVE that little fridge with all those great things inside it! Great post! Hugs, Valerie
It is so fun to see a peek into someone's real life. The things they love that inspire their art. It lets us get to know a friend we never met :) thanks for the photo filled post and I wish I could grow those strawberries!
Jackie, I so envy you those strawberries! They are my favourite fruit and these look super yummy! I totally agree with Shel C who commented before me that taking a peek into your real life is like getting to know a friend we never met - such a lovely and perfect way of putting it. You really enjoy life, Jackie, and that is so reflected in your art, which is so full of radiant colour and a spirit of adventure and fun! You don't do anything half-heartedly. Visiting here is always a tonic! xxx

What a fabulous summer you're already having...LOVE the garage sale scores, and that mini fridge is too cute for words. Wishing you more of the same on all counts - family, friends, finds and freedom...xoxox
Mansikat. Oi taivas, miten herkullisia ne ovat. Tuoksukin on herkkua. Nyt en näe postauksessasi muuta, kuin mansikat. Täällä ne eivät ole vielä kypsiä.
Minä olen ollut myös retkellä. Kiipesin tunturille juhannukseni ja vaeltelin muutenkin. Oli seitsemän päivän retki.
I'm late; I'm late! What a fun post to read, and I didn't even have any caffeine! What a wonderful DIL you have to send those beautiful flowers! And sweet kids to send you a gift! Now this fridge...how cute is that???!!!! a DOOR able!!!! And what a garage sale score you have there! Don't you just love trying to find a place for everything? NOT! And, hun, that's not camping, that's RVing! We used to camp a lot as kids, and we slept under the stars! Not now; camping is staying at a Holiday Inn! I just might be talked into RVing sometime! Thanks again, for a lovely post and all the photos! Made my day! Hugs! PS Thank you for all your sweet, sweet comments on my blog!
What a wonderful post full of gifts and goodness and so much more.
Precious gifts from your special ones Jackie!
Your berries have me drooling...I would be in trouble being around them because I get hives when I eat too many (same goes with tomatoes and I adore both!).
I would have been in big trouble at that sale where you scored all of those treasures too. So many of the things I have a weakness for.
I have been knee deep in clearing out paper and stuff stuff stuff that I won't be using anymore...how many decks of playing cards can one person alter!!!
My collecting days are drawing to a close...found so much good stuff while digging it will keep me busy for a long long time.
Lake Ontario sure looks inviting.
Really fun post Missy!

So many great pictures and surprises! You had quite a lot going on in June! Love that cute little mini-fridge, and in that shop I would've been walking around for ages.... And those strawberries..... YUM!
Wish I could be with you Jackie dearest friend! special person! lovely girl! Lol!
However it would be rather a long flight so guess I will just have to go back and have another look at your photos and watch you enjoying yourselves.
Have a great week, Angela xXx
Well, what a treasure trove of a post, from your vintage haul (just as well you've been clearing things out... now you'll have room for this lot!) to all those yummy-looking strawberries to the tiny fridge - so cute. Looks as though you've been making the most of your summer weather too - I'd love to go for a swim in that lake, it looks amazing.
