Work hard, stay positive, and get up early. -George Allen, Sr.

Good Day!

I've been home for a week!
Tomorrow's a holiday, Happy Canada Day my Canadian peeps!
I told them I'd be in to work if it was raining. It's not.
I want to finish the yard work I started yesterday after the rain, and get my gazebo up!

We had to change Firepit Friday to tonight, as I did Happy Hour at the Old Folks Home Friday night!
I'm cooking hamburgers, making a salad, and I made pies yesterday.
I'm running to town for some fireworks too!

This will be a ton of pictures, and not a crafty thing in sight, so I'll tell you what I've been up to and you can skip the pics!

I went to pick up my mom & we went to the Amish Auction Sale in Rexford, Montana.
Mom & I went to see Duane Steele.
We went to Crawford Bay. A friend from waaaaay back & her husband bought property there, and are setting up an RV park.
We hung out in Bonner's Ferry, and Ponderay in Idaho.
We learned how to play Pickle Ball.
Had lots of laughs, and a great time............I need a vacation from my vacation!

Some pictures from the sale.
 
Sheds & log cabins
 

 
Squirrell feeders

 
Stuff

 
Gazebo we all liked

 
I bought one of these, when it gets settled in it's spot I'll show you

 
Here it is plugged in at mom's garage.
It has a solar light on top
 
 
Cute planters

I wandered into the quilt barn and this one went for $100.00

 
Cool table, look at its legs

I think we were parked in their pasture!

 
Turkey family playing in traffic

 
My nephew showing off in moms yard
Then he couldn't get down

 
In Creston


 
That's a lot of Mary Kay!

 
Since I've been home............
I made a Dr. Suess cake!
Not intentionally......

 
The happy recipient
See, I straightened it out with Cool Whip!

 
Inside

 
The weather........
On the right side of 0 degrees!

 
We hung out a Family Rebellion on Rays side.

 
The women on the left & middle are 2 of Rays sisters

 
Too much beer & heat, need a nap on the golf cart

 
Shouldn't have let him nap,
got our butts kicked at horse shoes!

 
It's all been fun & games!
Not sure when I'll get to make anything!
I've also been painting the firepit furniture.
I got all the chairs done, just have 2 picnic tables left!
 
Better go,
gotta get my work done before it gets really hot!
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

Sunday, June 8, 2014

I am grateful for........EVERYONE in my life.

Happy Sunday peeps!

It has been raining.EVERY.DAY!

In between there's been a lot of whippersnipping, weeding, and mowing!

I'm also packing my bags; it's that time of year for the Amish Auction Sale, and I leave Wednesday!
Gotta go pick up mom, then we're off for our sleepover at Eureka!
Last year we stayed in Libby!
Mom has some family coming, so should be a riot!

My vehicle's been to the shop 3 times in the last couple weeks!!
Needed calipers & something on the back end.
The air bag light was on..........broken wires..........
And yesterday I got a new wheel bearing on the back.......
Hopefully I'm set!

Thursday night when it rained, I was a cardmaking fool!
These were a package from SU, kinda a postcard thing.
There were 8, so I made 2 of each, and my mom will get 4,
and the aunt I stay with in my travels will get the other 4.

 
 
 
 I'm not sure where the fourth one went!!!! hahaha
I tried to find you a link, but they must have been on the 'Clearance Rack'!
 
I needed a birthday card to take on my travels......
a 'guy' card.

 
In other news,
work on the garbage stand in town continues........
 


 
Actually, it's painted,
has a lid,
just needs it not to rain so it can be put outside on its 4 X 4's & leveled!
I told Vanessa to call ALL her friends, cause it's heavy.
That way no one will steal it! hahahaha
 
This is what's going on at my house between rains!
I'm upping the property value of Shadows house,
seen here on the left!
 


 
It really is to keep my shoes from getting muddy when I go weed that flower bed.
This section will be done today!

 
When I get home, I'll tackle the areas around the gardens........
It looks 100% better!
 
Last week I had dinner with the gf's X 2 (different gf's)
I DID go to the wedding shower last Saturday.
I've been sick..............
not sure if it's just a cold or what.
Have a DR's appointment tomorrow for refills of my perscriptions, so will see what he says!
 
I need to make one more birthday card before I go!
When it rains today that's what I'll do!
 
Today sees a full day of weeding, and weed whacking, laundry, take everything out of my vehicle cause it's getting cleaned on Tuesday, etc.!
 
Better go; just want you to know that I'll be MIA for a couple weeks!
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
