Much loved company visits and my big book announcement

Sorry, I have been busy, busy, busy with company and a big announcement at the end of this post. We still have more company to come, baby Aubrey for one (oh yeah with her parents), as well as Lisa, Charles, and 2nd cousin Layla before our time comes to an end at Star Mountain. At least until Christmas...

Garlic Mike's yes!

Great time had with Cliff and Tish. Some fishing, eating, and shopping were activities of choice. And a grand herd of elk with bulls bugling as we stopped on Ohio Creek to enjoy. Our bucks were full on enjoying our yard and under the deck spa. What a craziness our animal world is here...

A little mushroom hunting had in between company with good friends. Unfortunately it was a bust this year. We've had marvelous luck with chanterelles in the past but not so this time. Great nature outing anyway.

Lot of changes happening. Temps are dropping in the 30's, leaves will be in a blaze of glory soon and deer are changing to gray by the day. Oh the seasons go so fast here.

of course magic spring water 

bad selfie but at least we're represented

Secret Stash and yes pizza was had too

Great friend Ellen was here from Naples. What a wonderful visit was had. We did the sights and sounds and I loved loved having her. Come back another time please!

And BIG announcement: my book is going live on Amazon tomorrow!! It's been a 2 year labor of love and please visit my newly created website for updates. http://www.gretchenleeadams.com/
This cover is one of my photos and the people pictured are terrific friends who we took on one of our favorite jeep trips. This is my journey through autoimmune disease and all of the practical  research I found to help everyone live a healthier life naturally. Many thanks if you care to explore.
