WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Blackheart]

You go Sal, I'm the blood drive captain this month here in radiology and we appreciate you life savers!

[Dirty Denim]

BH..I have given blood probably 20 to 30 times since high school and platelets about 2 or 3 times.  Its something everyone should do atleast once a year.  I mean if u can do more then even better.  I look forward to it for the free cookies of course   If anyone is interested my Older brother works for the blood drive and is always having huge events like today at Citi field which was a pretty cool experience walking around that place.  I have to say going to any stadium other than Yankee stadium felt weird but for blood why not

2 weeks ago I did a hiking trip to the beautiful Saxon Switzerland in the near of Dresden. 6 days just I, my dog and the bagpack. 3 times sleeping outside, 2 times I took a room. It was really great to get away from the daily routine and to get the head free. So I want to share some impressions with you.

First days sleeping place.

2nd day

The Saxon sandstone is famous for climbing.

Sleeping place for the last night. This is a official place to spend a night in the national park, called Boofe.

Hope you enjoyed the pics.

God yes. Those pictures have really stoked my wanderlust. I have a week's break from work from today and will be getting out to the Peak District national park again. Cannot wait.

[Madame Buttonfly]

Lovely updates all, what amazing places we get to visit on this thread 

Great to see all the UK pix from Sugar Mountain and the Trons!

Holy cow, that herb garden is amazing.  Julie keeps trying to convince me that we need to start one, but I'm worried that Texas heat will annihilate whatever we try to grow…

[Giles]

I'm normally super anal about cutting the herbs back to ground in the winter, I didn't get around to it this winter and FECKIN VOILA…....

[Giles]

A couple more of the herb jungle….

And one of the pond that Paula, Alex and I built (with a little bit of help from a grunt my best friend…..)...

[Blackheart]

The pond!

[Madame Buttonfly]

@Blackheart:

The pond!

One of these fine days we’ll have a beer and or glass of wine by the pond - just need to get you over here 

[Blackheart]

Oh absolutely MB, I'm looking at next year after all the Olympic dust has settled!
