Don't let yesterday take up too much of today~Will Rogers

 Hello!

Just had to show you Kalens birthday card I made!

I love this hot air balloon die I got. I have used it lots already!


 

I used my busiest paper behind!! He laughed, the inside says Keep it Real, with a kinda goofy looking bird.

I want to say it's some kind of Z fold card!

Now you can get on with your day!!

This was Bryson & I face timing this week.


Always good for a laugh!

It's been busy in the yard, and at work. Hopefully It will get easier somewhere!

I have had a week like this!


This is a scrunched up flyer in my mail box. My post person must have been having a bad day!

Am I the only one who's amused by being asked for photo ID while wearing a mask?

Anyhoo, stay safe, wash your hands, and I'll talk to ya later!

Focus on the step in front of you, not the whole staircase.

 It's 'kinda' spring here!

We have sooo many projects on the go!

I am on project #2 for me. Project #1 is clearing up all the dead branches in the back 40. I am bringing them to the front, so if when the trees come down in the front yard, they can all be chipped up for use other places! I pull out all I can, but when they're still froze down, I move on. Project #2 is trimming the cherry trees. I am on tree #2 but can't go up & down the ladder anymore today, so came in to try & finish my Easter cards.

Kalen is on project # 29 out of; I am not sure how many he has on the go. He did finish one yesterday. His greenhouse is up, needs a few tweaks, and now he's marking where the posts go for the guy that's going to push them in. Oh yes, he has one section of trellis up for the secret garden!

I made 2 get well cards. One for my friend Helen who had back surgery.


One for Kalen who stepped on a nail Monday, and drive himself to the hospital for a tetanus shot!

 

It looks pink in the pic, but is really red!!

Moms St. Patrick's Day card.


I am not sure why it's so tiny!

In other news, we've started some plants. They are happy in the little inside greenhouse, with grow lights(we have to wear Men in Black sunglasses for), and heat mats! They're for the secret garden.

I haven't face timed Bryson lately, but his mom sends me pictures!

Did you know they have karaoke in pre school!?


Oh what fun!!

 And he's learned how to wink!

 


He stands on that stool for his picture, so I think he's getting so tall!

That's all I got! Work is busy.

Mom got her first vaccine!

Kalen might be getting one now, as at their job they're considered essential workers.

He said he didn't know how he felt about that. His co worker, and I am in agreement, said, when they call your name, go.

We will all have a turn, and if Canada gets their poop in a group, it should be sooner rather than later!

So for now, keep on keeping on!

Wash your hands & wear your mask!

Talk to ya later!

Stay safe!

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.~Oscar Wilde

 Hello dear peeps!

Sure hope you're doing ok.

Vaccines are rolling out.

Mom, who's over 80 can call March 22 to get put on a list.

I made some cards for an order.

I'll show you those so you can get on with your day! I made 6 so she could have a selection, and she took them all! I still will make a birthday card for a 1 year old after Easter. 

I also received an order for 2 grad cards.

Can't quit my 'real' job, but it's a nice change!






I made 2 of the middle one. 

Of course there's no picture! It's a feminine one though, with flowers and stuff!

Bryson called me one night to tell me he was sitting outside in the car.

Cause the firetruck was at his house!


He told me the smoke detector kept going off. It was in fact the carbon monoxide detector.

Smoke detector is easier to say!

Vanessa had texted me to tell me that, I told her to call 911, and go outside. It's a free service the firemen do, and they'd rather show up for a false alarm. Turns out their detector had expired (who knew)!

So all was well!

This is what Bryson and I do when we Facetime!



I change into whatever pops up, and he takes pictures.

He said his mom needed them to send to people! 

Hahaha! I would hope not!

He also thinks he looks blurry, so I took a picture:


 

Kalen dug another hole to replace a hydrant in the yard. It's been one a year. We have 4. I am just the assistant, and I run for stuff.

I don't really run. I was put on a list in Cranbrook last year for a new knee. The wait was 2 years. They called last month, and the wait is ......2 years.

I got referred to Kelowna, I have already got an email from the optimization team at the hospital, and had a call from the surgeon. The wait is 6 months.

I have a friend who is ready for an all expenses paid adventure!

When we discussed it, she said, 'I can't wait for your surgery'!

She's kind of in my bubble. She's a nanny for a doctor, and neither one of us go far!

It is starting to pick up at work, now people aren't so afraid of travel. We just had an awesome compliment at the hotel.

It said, the cleanliness is essential. Please don't lower your standards when Covid is over.

I broke a tooth about a month ago. My dentist had to pull it, as it split right down the middle. I will be getting a bridge at the end of April. Saving my pennies for that!

Also called the hot tub guy. I'm going to try to get to Cranbrook in the next couple weeks to check them out, and sit in it!! I still need someone to build my deck. 

The trees in the front yard aren't down yet, but they'll just have to be careful! I have waited long enough!!

One of my friends got hacked and was messaging me through Instagram. I messaged the real her to tell her. She had just got out of the hospital from back surgery. I am going to make her a card. I also have 1 St. Patrick's Day card to make, and my Easter cards!

The daffodils are up right next to the house. 

The garlic in the garden is up, the strawberries are coming! I am so ready for Spring!

Hope you're all staying safe!

Talk to ya later!

Wash your hands & wear your mask!!
