When nothing goes right, go left.

Hello everyone!
It's the occasional blogger here!

Arrggghhhh; one day I'll be better!
Just remember that I am, (trying) to keep up with all your blogs, and the many contests that are out there!
We've been really busy at work, so that's cut down on my blog surfing (and game playing)! hahaha
Even at lunch!

I have made cards! As needed of course, but just the same!

I have been out for dinner with the gf's (LOTS), celebrated my birthday, worked a casino, shopped til I dropped, the yardwork is caught up, the gardens need watered; and later today we're going to a birthday party (one of Rays' friends turns 60 OMG!), and a 50th anniversary party tonight.
Oh yeah, Vanessa's coming for a sleep over too!


I wanted to try a Buckle Card, the pearls hide some unfortunate ink shmeers!

 
It's already been used for a guy birthday card!

 
The flowers are happy in their new flower bed!
I've got lilies......

 
Tiger Lilies.............

 
More lilies...................

 
Gladiolus..................


 
 
Marigolds................

 
Dahlias...................

 
This was what I drove into one night on my way back from somewhere!?
Heavy, heavy rainfall!

 
I made rhubarb pie one day; this is mine with the Canadian Vanilla EH ice cream!

 
I've worked at my job for over 10 years, and no one ever knew it was my birthday!
WHO BLABBED!
This was my desk when I came back from town a week or so ago!

 
Vanessa & I will be off to Victoria next Friday for 10 days, to visit with the Able Seaman!
 
That's all I got........... I have more, but apparently the pictures are still on my camera!
 
Hope you're all well.
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

Your flowers are gorgeous - and what a great summer you must be having for the dahlias to have grown that much already! My Dad's are still "getting there"! Love your buckle card... the pearls look as if they were meant to be there!
Love how everybody thought of you for your birthday - all my best from side as well, how belated it may be.

Love the buckle card Gail ... so cute. And I can't believe you have time to grow such beautiful flowers when you are so busy with everything else that you do. Happy Belated Birthday ... looks like you were spoiled (just as it should be). Enjoy your time with Vanessa and your son.

Happy Belated Birthday my bestest blog buddy! I'm so sorry I missed it. I feel that I'm missing everything these days, including my summer. Your photos are beautiful as always. Hope you are doing well and enjoying the visit with your "seaman". Hugs, Curt
