If you can't return a favor, pass it on. --Louise Brown

Good morning everyone!
It's really foggy here this morning, as it tried desperately to rain last night! (1 mm)
I'm sure as soon as the sun burns it off, it'll be hot, and I need to get the yard work done!
Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, (with pre op Tuesday), pretty sure I'll still be able to mow the grass (riding lawn mower), but the whipper snipping might be out!
I made a dessert last night, as we're going to an 85th birthday pot luck supper later today!
Hope I have a card in the stash for her! (DH's aunt)
I'm making dessert & a salad for tomorrow nights supper too; my husband has relatives here from Germany, and we're getting together at my SIL's cabin a few miles from here!


I received 'Happy Mail' yesterday!
I won a jar of Strawberry/Ameretto Jam from my friend Barbaras blog!
Can't wait to try it!
Thanks Barbara!



Vanessa also suprised me last weekend with a photo album she scrapbooked all by herself!
Said it took her 2-3 months!
It's wonderful, and I'm so proud of her!


And here's my mom's birthday card! FINALLY!
It's already in the mail!
Remember I got this off Sonias blog!?


Turned out pretty wonderful if I do say so myself!

I've got 2 more cards on the go; want to have them ready to mail Monday!
Have to see if I get a minute!

Have a great weekend!
Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

Best of luck with the surgery. I really think you need to take a break with the foot and give it a chance to heal. The grass will be there when you find the time.
WONDERFUL, GORGEOUS card for your mom. She will love it.

Glad to know the jam got to you alright! The card you made for your Mom is absolutely STUNNING! It must look like the garden of her dreams, I'm sure. Best of luck for your surgery and I totally agree with Myrna: the grass will be there when you are ready for it!

Hope and praying that your surgery goes well and you won't be in too much pain.
I have been really busy with my fruit these past few weeks so it has been hard to get caught up on anything but hopefully everything will calm down now for awhile until we pick the apples from the trees.
I love your card with all of the flowers it is very beautiful. Great job!
