Here’s a picture of the sun this morning. Super red from the fires. The next picture is what my in laws are seeing in their drive home in southern Oregon. 
 

The other picture is my sweet nephew who turned 1 this weekend. He is the absolute sweetest and his smile is joyful. 

Your nephew is adorable! 
Those Smokey pics are eerie.

What is Chippie "Ponch" doing sticking his head inside the window? 😉 

 

 

 

 

Turns out he one of the owner’s sons. He was harassing his brother who was getting his and his partner’s lunch. It was really funny to watch.  On top of the fact he is quite tall and had to really hunch to do that.

I have had problems with seeing other people's pictures once in a while so I know it is frustrating.  I will try another method and see if all of you can see my bears.  The last time I just copied and pasted.  This time I saved in my downloads and uploaded where it says choose files in the reply box.  Fingers crossed!

I can’t see it either. 

How many of us who can’t see the picture are using iOS devices (iPhone/iPad) - please raise your hand. 
 

Count me as one. I’m browsing with safari.  I think Kazu uses an iPad.....

Bingo. It works here.

Ditto.  IPad for me too unless I am on the laptop doing the spread sheet for my new cruise.  I can’t believe how much I fell in love with the IPad.  It was bought to be just a gadget for travelling.  It’s my go to now. 😉 

[Live4cruises]

Yep, iMac, iPad.  All Apple, all the time.  🙂

[rafinmd]

I couldn't (but can see the new one) on a laptop with Win10 and Firefox.

Also just tried with Edge and Chrome.  No luck with any browser.

Haha!  I just noticed I put a second photo I took of the bears and not the one I originally posted.  Enough confusion for today!!

Cool pic! Down here it's UCLA & USC. Makes for interesting dinner conversation 😉

That's hilarious!  We had to go to a flag shop in Columbus near Ohio State and buy a school colors flag for Ohio State and Michigan to fly on game days.  It was divided diagonally with OSU's scarlet and grey O, and Michigan's maize and blue M.  Must have confused some of our Virginia neighbors.

[TheKingD]

We have a University of North Carolina and University of South Carolina divided family, so we just fly both flags off the tree on our corner.  DH was so excited to take the picture that he forgot to move his ladder out of sight first!

Success! Thank you for going to the trouble!

I guess those of us on safari are doomed for some pics 😉

Seems strange as that’s how I post my pics on CC and everyone seems to see them?

[lazey1]

I couldn't see the first pix and I am o my desk top computer using chrome, switched to firefox, still couldn't see. Thank you for reposting the dueling bears.

I have my trailer hooked up. Under evacuation orders. Four more boxes and we are on the move. Sun was pretty last night at five thirty but it was already dark. 
 

 

Have been there several times.  Be safe. God speed.

[Overhead Fred]

I am very late to the party today, I had to relinquish my office area to our son. The cable company completely screwed up internet installation at his new house. He is a public defender and almost all trials are being done virtually and he needed our internet!

 

One quick picture; MailBoat passing in front of Atlantis in Nassau, 2019 -

Yup!  Though I think I want a new IPad Air.  We were going to buy a new desktop but DH said why not new iPads as that is what we use most of the time!   Maybe Black Friday?  Not spending money on what I’d prefer to.  Just ordered AC cause if we have another smoky summer which sadly seems inevitable.

 

I am so sorry for those affected by fires and smoke.  We lost most of a city a few years ago and the memories of having weeks of air quality literally off the scale and worse than Beijing still tightens me. Stay safe!

Thank you to all who checked in and let us know they were safe.  Please continue to do so!   

 

I am on a PC with Windows 10 using Chrome and I couldn't see the original picture.   I think it has to do with the copy and paste rather than the operating system.  When I used copy and paste people complained they couldn't see the picture.  When I used choose files, all was fine.   

 

The roofer did not show up today.   I'll give him tomorrow and then I'll call Dan the Handyman.  I think it just needs to have the flashing fixed.   

 

I'm turning to food porn now.   On our cruise two years ago we did a b2b Boston/Montreal/Boston.  We tried to experience the major food in each city.  Many were lobster, so that was a given.  But, we truly enjoyed the mussels at Prince Water Street.  Hoping to get back there someday.

Good luck on your roof, Debbie. But shame on the roofer for not even calling you.

Thanks for the daily reports, and photos, we see some of the fires reported on our TV news, quite horrific.

☀️☀️☀️

Good morning to all!! To both my sisters 🌺Joy and Ann and to all who were concerned Roy, Rich, Jacqui Angel Cat and TIOGACRUISER thank you for caring!!

Took a long time to catch up on all the posts this am prior to leaving Mammoth!

A lot of smoke but we are safe no worries!!

Our fire department here helped in the Creek fire with the rescues of the campers and hikers at Mammoth Pools area.

We will be on 395 highway to the 5 home. All clear. It takes depending on traffic around 6-7 hours heading home! Tomorrow I will check back in!!

Paisley Shawn and our dear friends who are Shawn’s Godparents and Shawn’s best friend we all had a wonderful time!

Got to go now! Paisley and I are checking on our house make sure all is closed up!!

🌺Hey sounds like your picnic was a great success Joy👍👍👍👍 

I want all to know what a great Daily Family we have! So surprised how you cared!

Denise😊

 

So pleased to know that you are safe.

[Sharon in AZ]

Thank you for the Daily Rich. And Roy for the Care List. 
 

I love teddy bears!  I even kept my 39 year old daughter’s teddy bear because I loved it so much. 
 

My husband loves “flinty” white wines. Very earthy. I can usually drink half a glass and be happy. I’ll have to tell him about this one. 
 

Have a great evening everyone!

Ah ha!  That makes sense.  I think the copy and paste may explain it.  I’ve always used “choose files”.  It seems easier to me than copy and paste - especially on the IPad 😉

Bummer on your roofer.  I hope he shows up today.  Why pay someone else for the job he did?

 

Yum on the mussels.  I just might have to buy some today for dinner 😉
