“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” ― Dalai Lama XIV

Good evening!

I finally had a minute to play, only I'm not sure why I'm excited about it as Canada Post is on strike! 

And that was after; checking the trap line (rodent), making & put away poppycock, did some laundry, hauled wood to my little wood box, updated my 100 year old resume (OK, maybe 20; Kalen helped), there's no end! I'm so tired of cleaning & scrubbing with bleach!
Must be working though, knock on wood, as I have not caught a mouse in a trap yet. Even after they licked the peanut butter off one, and I put more on! Pretty sure I have shares in warfarin! I also have several bait traps.
Hopefully ALL the holes are plugged. Guess I'll find out as it gets cooler outside. 
And there's raccoons! I used to think they were cute, but they're very destructive!

Went to The Grinch last night. Had to see it in 2D, as mom has vertigo. 

There's a fall supper coming up on Saturday; there's also a Tea Party at the Library! And a flea market, and the usual Farmers Market! Sunday there's a Coffee House (music) in Canyon.

Anyhoo, here's the cards I made:

Brysons Christmas card, hoping it looks like a penguin, and isn't an EPIC fail! 

 This one is for his parents. Not much shaking going on with this card! All the sequins seem to stick to the sides!

 This next one, I made 4 at the Crop I went to in Calgary!
Just had to finish them!

There you have it!
Who knows when I'll get another minute to play!?
I am also missing a bag(?) of my Christmas/Winter punches!
I have no idea where they could be! I wanted to add snowflakes/holly to the inserts of the cards!

I have to download my pictures to my computer.
Got a new phone, and will go to town to get it activated etc. tomorrow!
Sometimes, that doesn't go well!

Better go!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!

Hello!
I am doing my best!

I am in the process of making supper for the commune, my mom, and her friend Dorothy.
It's pizza night, and I made the one hour cinnamon rolls! 

This is what my hat looks like after pruning 15-17 fruit trees in the yard.

There's still 5-6 in the back 40; they will have to wait for Spring!

This house has issues, but I'm up for the challenge!
My nights are quieter, think I've (knock on wood) won the rodent battle!
No one's lived here for years.
I spent yesterday replacing insulation in the basement.
It was dirty, crammed in where ever; and we know insulation looses its R value when it's packed in!
It's fluffed and lovely in one small section. OI!
Don't judge! Took hours!
I filled holes, and don't think anything I vacuumed up was recent!

This was our redneck fix for the ramps (came with the house) that ice up when wet.

I'll get a runner for the flat part, when I go to town tomorrow.
Need to go to the library to print some stuff.
I NEED a new printer! It's really only printing what, and when it wants!
Also had my prescriptions refilled here.
Picked them up on Saturday when we checked out the Marketplace; that's people who have home based businesses, and the Craft sale at the Seniors Centre.
The pills for one prescription are not the same as I've been taking.
Going to ask why!

Making a list for some handy guy.
I have limits! Haha
I have a slow leak at an outside tap.
Need spray foam sprayed in one section of the basement. I am NOT a good spray foamer.
Need a deadbolt installed.
One plug in the kitchen doesn't work.
Need a 100 pound mirror hung......
There's a list!

2 weeks after I got here, I went to Calgary to a Scrapbook crop!
I'm a card maker mostly; I had a blast!
Lovely time, fun was had by all!
First time I'd ever been!
Sorry; I'm going to show you some of the Halloween cards I made there!

 
 I DID make Christmas card fronts too!

I had a lot of kits, and I cut out dies I didn't have on the big shot!
Also cut out stuff for my friends!
It really was a good time, and I'd go again! 

On a sad note, I missed Bryson's second birthday:

And going Trick or Treating with Sully, from Monsters Inc.
I didn't even dress up(horrors)!
I have NOT seen a child in this neighborhood, and no school bus goes by.
Had no children; that's why you buy Halloween treats you like! haha 

 
We face time at least once a week.
He's coming to 'bisit' and stay for 2 sleeps!
Haha

Better go, cut my stuff up for the pizzas!

Hope you're all well! 
Talk to ya later!
