The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.--Debbi Fields, Founder of Mrs. Fields Cookies

Hello everyone!
You almost got a twofer last night, but I got sidetracked then I got tired!
Thank Goodness you say!?
There's not a crafty thing in sight, so you can quit reading now if you're so inclined!

The title makes me want to use a stamp I have that says "Whatever you are be a good one."

It's been hectic for some reason this week, maybe cause 2 of my 3 bosses have gone on holidays!?

Here's the sunrise one day this week!

 

I know it's Spring because the geese, crows & swans are back.

If only the snow knew, and disappeared!

 

These swans are pretty hard pressed to find some open water!

Earlier this week they refused to co-operate for the photo shoot!

 

Yesterday they got their stuff together!

 

This is how we rednecks in Northern Alberta take a walk in Spring!

 

  This is the driveway at the beginning of the week.......

 

This is the main road......North.

 

Main road.......South.

 

These are my boots at the side of the road.....I changed into my shoes!

The road's dry, the driveway's not, and my new walking shoes are suedey leathery things, that probably won't like the mud and water!

 

Ray had to fire up the tractor last night to clean some of the snow at the top of the driveway, cause I'm having trouble getting in and out!

6" of slush plays havoc with my van!

 

I saw this moose trying to hide one evening on my way home!

 

There are 2 hanging around in the hood!

One has ticks really bad, and one looks pretty good!

 

I'm off to the movies tonight.

The Great & Powerful OZ!

 

Tomorrow night is a fundraiser for one of the churches in town.

Dessert & Silent auction!

Pretty sure there'll be something there I can't live without!

 

Next week is a crystal party at one of the gf's!

Again, I'm sure there will be something I can't live without!

 

Yes, I'm at work.

Yes, they've gone & left me alone!

And YES. it's coffee time!

 

I started this in the middle of the night, and uploaded the photos!

 

Better go, have some stuff to finish before I go to town!

 

Hope you're all well!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

Good morning, or afternoon, or evening......whenever you're reading this!

The O/S is home from his sail!
Sent me an e-mail, he needed bills from the house he owns in town for his income tax!
So I made him this card to go with!

I just let the cardstock do the work, so it might be a little girly.....oh well!

The inside says "Just walking on sunshine"!

I added "It's all good", and told him to have a great day!

The day after I mailed that batch of papers he needed, he texted me, telling me he needed more papers!

I told him to get his S#!& together, and I made him this card!

He's having surgery tomorrow....no, nothing serious!

That's a little more masculine!

I put a real bandaid over the stamped one!

He'll get 2 cards in one week....that will be something of a record!

I was excited to hear he'd be home at the end of March.....

his birthday's April 1st (go ahead, have a laugh!)

Try & tell your friends & family you had a baby on April 1st!

One of my gf's said,"Yea right, April Fools!"

He's the child, who, when he was about 8 or 9, and I asked him what he wanted for a birthday cake; asked , "Why do we have to have birthday cake? Why can't we have Birthday pie!?"

I have made him Lemon Meringue Birthday Pie when he's home, ever since!

Yup, you can put candles in pie!

This is how cold it was Friday morning on my way to work!

I.KNOW!

Here's the beginning of the sunrise the same day!

Yesterday I had a few recipes I wanted to try so my friend P came out to sample them with me!

Ray sometimes forgets where he lives when he's done work, so I dine alone!

We had Mexican Cheddar & Rice...I'd make it again!

Gnocchi & Mushroom sauce.......I'd make it again, and I'd actually even make the Gnocchi!

And I whipped up some fresh buns to go with!

We drank wine, had a few giggles; she likes to see my latest creations!

Better go, gotta post my Cards for CCAYR!

Maybe work on a HM stamp!

Make some muffins for my lunch, and maybe Ray's read the instructions for the log splitter,

cause I sure haven't!

Have a great week people, and thanks for keeping in touch!

Ta ta for now!
