Three Pictures I'm Loving Right Now from @cgarske

Instead of my normal "three things I'm loving right now" I thought I would change it up by showing you my three favorite pictures taken by @cgarske from our Michigan vacation.  She had a lot of great pictures and it was hard to narrow down, but here's what I came up with!  Big thanks to her for letting me borrow them :) 

My brother and V.  Despite not seeing him a lot she still wants to marry him, and is convinced he'll move to wherever she lives.  What a great couple they make ;) 

Up early in the AM for fishing (I couldn't pull myself out of bed that early but I got to see the pictures!)   I love the hot air balloon.

The usual scene sitting on the deck watching the sunset.  Beautiful picture!

More of my vacation photos next week!  Have a great weekend everyone. 

Possum Kingdom Lake

C took me to Possum Kingdom Lake for my birthday weekend.  I had a great time, it was so nice to get out of Dallas and slow down for a while.  

Mia had a great time, swimming and acting like a hunter :)

The area is so gorgeous.  It's a must see for anyone that lives in the Dallas area.

We visited the area last year around the same time, you can see my post here.  They were having a lot of wild fires around the lake, and we saw the outcome of the fires as we walked around. 

I know it's a good thing, as C has told me, but it was still sad looking.

There were bright areas though, that were starting to bloom again.  

I love this picture.  Among all of the damaged trees, new life. 

Thank you C for the great weekend!

Things I Miss Aboout Michigan

Sitting outside in the middle of summer. Without sweating.

Having family around to help with anything and everything.

Old friends.

Old friends laughing at old jokes.

Pontooning.... need I say more?

Enjoying sunsets on the lake.

Watching fireworks while holding hands with friends I've known for going on 9 years.

Miss all of you, I'll be back soon :)

More Pictures of Lake Texoma

I have a few more pictures of camping at Lake Texoma to show all of you.  I wanted to share the perfect dinner to try while you're camping.  C and his family came up with this, and I must say it's awesome!  I cut up a bunch of different veggies and kept them in a Tupperware beforehand.  Also used hamburger meat and rolled them into meatballs with an egg and some pepper and garlic seasoning.  Every thing's ready before you leave, then when you're camping you don't hardly have any work to do.

Put all the veggies and meatballs together in tin foil and make a little packet to throw over the fire.  C added some store bought gravy to his packet, I didn't, but both were tasty.

Here it is all finished cooking.  YUM!  The veggies and meat together kind of marinate each other and it turns out to be a great dinner.

We finished cooking dinner just in time to watch the sunset over the lake.

Very beautiful and relaxing!

The next day we decided after two days of camping and baring the heat, we would venture back to civilization and found the Highpoint Marina bar and grill and it was perfect to hang out in until the fireworks started.

Yes, I ordered a blended pina colada... I was pretty pumped to be back in the land of electricity!

The place had garage doors all the way around it that opened so we could sit and watch the sunset and fireworks over the marina.  Pretty cool view!

If you ever have the opportunity to take a trip to Lake Texoma I'm sure you'll like it just as much as me.

See you tomorrow :)
