A Waterfall and a Buffalo





It was just an ordinary Thursday yesterday. However, for a few hours, I felt like I was on vacation.


 With Maria and the granddaughters I went to a little waterfall. It is a beautiful little setting and only about 15 minutes away!


Both girls enjoyed the water. The spray felt good!


Cordelia and I were wearing flip-flops so we felt free to splash through the shallow creek at the bottom of the waterfall.


Elise thought she should do the same.


It was relaxing and fun.


I had beautiful company...


...and lovely water. 


It just doesn't get better than that!


We drove back into town for another adventure. Maria had received notification that Cordelia had won a little drawing at a local grocery store. Her prize? A Buffalo! She wondered on the way there if it would be a real buffalo. Were you wondering that as well? That would be absurd but my Mom once won a Shetland Pony!

Thankfully, Cordelia's buffalo was a manageable size.


What a sweet couple of hours out  of my day!

She is still insisting that the buffalo is named Cordelia Rose Wimmer.

Yes, as beautiful as your area is, exploring nature there WOULD be like a vacation! Love the buffalo (named Cordelia Rose Wimmer!).

Thanks, Michelle!

Well, it looks as though I won't win that one.

Funny you say that, given that you live within 15 minutes of the place we've flown to for our big vacation...three times!
