Sherry’s Shelves #196 is my blog update from 9.22.19 – 9.28.19.

LATEST HAPPENINGS

Hello fellow bloggers. I hope you have all had a great week, filled with family, fun and a lot of great books. Woo Hoo. Two weeks in a row. As the summer winds down and the pool cools off, I am still enjoying the warm weather and spending as much time outdoors as I can. I will be doing the October Blogger Shame challenge and hope to get a lot more late reviews done and finish out most of the year. I will still be plugging in some tours, I can’t help myself. It’s so hard to say no. LOL

Most of you already now about my vacation to Connecticut, Rhode Island, Boston and Cape Cod, but I thought I would share some more photos. You can see the pictorial tour HERE.

I don’t know the name of the LIghthouse, but it is in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island.

Here’s another lighthoust in Narragansett Bay and we fished all around it.
I love all the flowers that were still in bloom
My mother in law had cut this one because the squirrels were relentless in their pursuit of a free meal.
Seems flower boxers are everywhere and I love them.

I have some great giveaways going on and a few reviews to share, so feel free to browse to your heart’s content.

Sherry’s Shelves #196 – Weekly Update

Posted on by

Sherry’s Shelves #195 is my weekly update from 9.15.19 – 9.21.19.

LATEST HAPPENINGS

Hello fellow bloggers. I hope you have all had a great week, filled with family, fun and a lot of great books. It’s been a while and I just returned from a vacation to the north. We spent ten wonderful days touring and visiting friends and family in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Boston and Cape Cod. You can see the pictorial tour HERE.

I did a lot of binge reading while traveling. Does anyone else hate to fly?

The weather here in the Florida Panhandle is still warm and sunny and I am lovin’ every minute of it. It was twenty degrees cooler during the day and even more at night up there. For the first time in a long time, we got rained out one day. We still toured around, but I shot all my photographs from the dryness of the car that day. Have I turned into a wuss? LOL

I have some great giveaways going on and a few reviews to share, so feel free to browse to your heart’s content.

My Adventures – Pictorial Visit To Connecticut, Boston and Cape Cod #CapeCod #BostonRedSox

Posted on by

First…I start out with a plan…We have more than a thousand photographs between us, Mr Wonderful and I. We shot with our phones and numerous cameras. I chose some of the highlights…and I have a headache trying to choose which to use. I hope you enjoy them.

I give up. No matter what I do, I can’t get the photograph to show properly, though it does in draft. I resized, cropped, changed the size, but the darn thing refuses to listen to me. LOL
Traveling…and I hate flying!
Image may contain: 2 people
We went from the airport to the Boston Red Sox Game.

Friday, Mr Wonderful went golfing with his brother and I hung around the house, binge reading….the Twilight series. It was nice to sit and relax by myself, getting ready for the upcoming whirlwind tour.

Image may contain: 3 people, including Sherry Snider Fundin, people smiling, sky and outdoor
Saturday we went to another Boston Red Sox baseball game with Mr Wonderful’s brother, who is an avid fan and his wife…who, at the moment, is missing in action. LOL
Image may contain: 1 person, standing, sky, ocean, mountain, outdoor, water and nature
Sunday we went fishing in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island with a good friend of our.

The big one didn’t get away. It’s a scup. A very pretty fish. We gave him his freedom.
Image may contain: tree, plant, sky, house, grass, outdoor and nature
The Cape Cottage
Image may contain: 2 people, including Carolyn Fundin, people sitting and indoor
Monday we headed to the Cape and treated Mr Wonderful’s parent to a 61st anniversary dinner.

Tuesday Mr Wonderful went by himself to play golf. Because of my arm injury I am still unable to play, so I stayed with his parents and brother and sister in law. Then I went for a walk on the beach.

Found some sea glass and shells for my collection.
Cape Cod’s low tide is .24 feet and goes to a high tide of 3.31 feet. I didn’t stay at the beach for dead low, but most of the water you see in the photograph will be gone and the bottom of Cape Cod Bay will be visible and people often walk out so far they get caught when the tide comes rushing back in.
My first Cape Cod sunset in 11 years. I was very fortunate to be alone and enjoyed the peace and quiet, before the weekend comes. Even though it’s off season, there is a big, men only, golf tournament coming up this weekend and the place will be flooded with renters.

Wednesday, Mr Wonderful took his mother to LL Bean in Mashpee to do some shopping. He’s such a good son. I spent some time reading and blogging. They came home with some lobsters and feasted. Me, I have an allergy to shellfish, so I had a couple of sliders. MMMMMMM!

Image may contain: Eric Fundin, smiling, food, closeup and indoor
Image may contain: 2 people, including Carolyn Fundin, people eating, people sitting, table, stripes, food and indoor
Every sunset is different, but unfortunately we had a lot of cloud cover.

Thursday was a beautiful day, but we got a late start, so we jumped in and out of the car shooting some photos and racing to the next place. We knew rain was coming in and wanted to get in as much ‘sun” time as possible.

Image may contain: shoes and outdoor
This is one of the few times we did not go whale watching. Each tour is a unique experience and I was sorry we didn’t have time.
One of the first places we hit is Chatham Lighthouse.
Fishing boat coming in to offload its catch at Chatham Fish Pier.
This is the first time I saw shark warning signs, but because of the huge rebound in the seal population, Great Whites like to visit for a yummy meal.
A few seals hang out for a free meal
Another anniversary dinner, this time with all the crew and on their actual anniversay day.

Friday, unfortunately was rainy and cool (I hate being cold). I spent most of the time shooting from the car. 🙁 We hit all of our must haves.

Pilgrims Monument in Provincetown. I love this place, but it was pouring rain, so I didn’t shoot as many photographs as I would have liked.
Image may contain: 2 people, tree, plant and outdoor
Image may contain: 1 person, sky, tree, plant, outdoor and nature

I have spent many hours on this front porch, though not so much this time.
I’ve also spent many hours at the Sunset House shooting phtographs.

A big thumbs up!
Hope you enjoyed the adventure.

Sherry Shelves #195 – Clydesdales at the Wahoos #Clydesdales #Wahoos

Posted on by

Sherry’s Shelves #193 is my weekly update from 7.28.19 – 8.3.19.

LATEST HAPPENINGS

Hello fellow bloggers. I hope you have all had a great week, filled with family, fun and a lot of great books. I keep meaning to catch a baseball game and was bummed that I missed a visit by the Clydesdales at the Pensacola Wahoos Friday. Mr Wonderful captured some fun photos, though. I can always count on him. Myself, I’ve been doing some reading, blogging, and movie watching. I’ve also been piddlding in the yard, one of my favorite things to do. Still can’t do too much with my bum wing, but I can do some cleanup and enjoy the pool. We sure do need some rain. How about you?

In Pensacola Florida, on 12th Street, we have a bridge that is known as Grafitti Bridge. People paint all kinds of things on it, without getting into any trouble. In honor of Shark Week, an artist added this fabulous painting and I love that noone painted over it.

Sherry’s Shelves #193 – Weeks Bay, Alabama #PitcherPlants

Posted on by

Sherry’s Shelves #193 is my weekly update from 7.14.19 – 7.20.19.

LATEST HAPPENINGS

Hello fellow bloggers. I have missed posting Sherry’s Shelves for the past few weeks. Not enough time in the day for doing everything and I knew I wouldn’t be able to respond to you in a timely fashion. Commenting and email take up so much time and I find it hard to stick to a schedule to make it easier for myself. How do you find the time?

Mr Wonderful had a freelance fishing gig and saw this sign and went in to investigate. Weeks Bay, Alabama. Now that he’s found it, he has to take me there! Pitcher Plants…I kept trying to remember what we called them as kids. We would find them in the woods around our house in Michigan…Jack in the Pulpits is what we called them. Fascinating plants.

The Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse of 2019 #BloodWolfMoon #Eclipse

Posted on by

.

Another impromptu road trip has put me behind in blogging, so here are some photographs of the super blood wolf moon eclipse of 2019. We have a super long lens, but it is so hard to focus that some of the photos didn’t come out so well. Still, it was so cool, I had to share it.

Mr Wonderful took the photos Sunday night. It was so cold, I wasn’t going out there. lol But, if he hadn’t done it, I would have. Now you know why he is Mr Wonderful!

Sherry’s Shelves #178

Sherry’s Shelves #178 is my weekly update from 12.30.18 – 1.5.19.

.

~~~

Hello Fellow Bloggers. Well, the holidays are over and I am still packing up the Christmas decorations, finishing up painting the shed (which Mr Wonderful has done most of and that is only one of the reasons why he is Mr Wonderful), sucking leaves out of the pool when it isn’t raining (which it has done entirely too much, but the sun is shining today and they say we will have sun for the weekend) and I hope to do some yard cleanup. There are a lot of those pesky little oak tree branches that seem to be a never ending problem. The weather has been warm, not like last year. I remember being in New Orleans for the 2018 New Years celebration and the wind chill was -35. This year I was on the golf course for New Years Day and it was in the 70s. BUT, there is no such thing as global warming or climate change here in Florida. LOL

I don’t know about you, but I have upgraded to the new WordPress and am tearing my hair out. LOL I accidentally hit the button, but I figure, sooner or later, they will make us upgrade anyway. There are a lot of cool features I am figuring out, but I hate the learning curve. How about you…did you click that button too?

I hope you all enjoyed the holidays are have a wonderful new year filled with fun, family and a lot of good books.

MAIL CALL

I won Renegades by Marissa Meyer from Lauren @ Always Me. I have read some of her work and am super excited to have another one of her books. Thanks Lauren and Marissa.

I received a package of seven novels from Diverson Books. Thanks so much! I have already read the two by Leigh Perry and loved them, especially Sid!
