T Stands for This and That

Happy T Day everyone. Time to share our drink related photos for T Day, already. 
Hope you'll join us for T over at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog.
Today I just have a little bit of a lot of different things.
I'll start with a drink related tag for Tag Tuesday By the way, beverages is their latest theme.
And a couple of food/drink related posts from this past Sunday when we went out boating.
 My husband with his beer.
And my daughter having a cookie after lunch which the dogs were very interested in.
We were anchored off the beach (which you can see a little bit of in the background) where we spend a very low key afternoon. We had a picnic lunch and then everyone else took a little nap. I stayed awake but lounged in my chair reading.
 And last Friday my remaining juniors in microbiology and I went out for an ice cream. The seniors  were done and were graduating that evening.
Too bad I had to white out their faces (the expressions are half the fun) but I love this photo. We had fun posing for it and having another customer take it for us. These a great group of kids.
The ice cream was good by the way, but I forgot to take a photo.
Friday's the last day of school for the kids.
And I have some new blooms in my garden.
 My first rose of the year.
 My irises are in bloom.

The pink flowers (which some of you asked about before) and my ground phlox.
That's all for me today. 
Have a great T day.

That's a gorgeous tag, and I love the sentiment, great stamp. Thanks so much for joining us at at TT, much appreciated. Your hubby looks so happy on the water with his beer, and your daughter and the dogs do, too. The dogs seem t be mesmerized by that cookie! And that's a lovely photo of you with your group of students. Have a great week and a happy T Day, hugs, Valerie

Its a super tag Erika, I liked the sentiment you added.
The photos are all great. i loved seeing the dogs looking longingly at the biscuit, I hope they got a treat as well, they were very patient.
It was good to see the happy end of term photo, I'm sure your group enjoyed the icecream.
Happy T day wishes Erika.

Finally...flowers and sunshine! I bet you're so pleased, lol. Could do with you sending some over here...our flowers are thriving in the rain but there's not a lot of sun or heat around...it's only been 12C some days :-( It's a LONG time since I put the heating on in June!!!
Love your page - very USA to include a cowboy, lol - very masculine and a wonderful mix of images... love it.

Such a happy post! It looks like you're having lovely weather and it's so nice to see your boat adventures again πŸ˜€. The dogs made me smile, did they get any of that biscuit? ...lol πŸ˜‰. I'm loving the photo of you with the kids, it looks like you all were having fun! Your garden looks beautiful too! Happy T Day! Jo x

Hi Erika. Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog. Hope the hives go away soon, my hubby suffers from them too and they are no fun! In answer to your question, our pie is "meat and potato" which is much loved in the North of England, you probably won’t find this pie in the South of England. It’s served hot and goes very nicely with a pint of beer - yum πŸ˜‰. Happy T Day! Jo x

Love the coffee tag. It's wonderful. I love the stamp, too.

In KS, if you are caught drinking (even beer) in a state lake, you get fined. That's what a friend of mine who goes boating all the time told me. He said there are even signs that show it. Your husband looks happy with his beer, though.

It won't be long until school is out for you. Just think. Lots of time this summer for art and travel. Love the flowers in your garden.

Thanks for the wonderful drink related photos and the garden shots for T this Tuesday, dear Erika.

Love the tag! Perfect for T Tuesday. The dogs drooling over the cookie made me giggle. Lovely flower photos.
Happy T day!

Jeanie said...

That iris shot is a competition winner should you choose to enter. GLORIOUS!

And what fun both on the water with your husband and with the kids. You're lucky to have a really good group. But I bet you'll be glad to let go for summer!

Great play on words, and I like that ribbon trim :)

Your daughter's sun hat is great! I always like seeing folks in hats :) Your flowers look so pretty. Thanks for that name. That ground phlox is what we used to call "thrift" and made a lovely border plant.

Happy T Tuesday!

Your tag is lovely. Looks like the weather has been nice for outdoor fun. I like the dogs eyeing the food. The photo with your students looks nice. You have beautiful flowers growing in your gardens. Happy T-Day!

Very cute tag, Erika. Love the phrase. Your boat outing looks sooooo relaxing. No wonder most people took a nap after lunch.

I thought the white-out of the faces was ice cream - just kidding.

Happy T-day! Eileen xx
