Today I'm Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving weekend Canadian peeps!

I've already been down the back alley to put the turkey in Vanessa's oven!
Potatoes are ready for the oven, sweet potato casserole, carrots, salad, and pie are all finished!
I just have to find a minute to make 2 more Double Layer Pumpkin Pies for tomorrow!
I've hung a mirror, did laundry & the dishes! More.Than.Once!
I also delivered a piece of pie I traded for 'real' cranberries!
We only have one grocery store, and they either ran out, or didn't order any!
This past Friday was too cold for Firepit, we tried it, then went in!
We have crafts planned for whoever wants to play along!
I am happy to say that last week I FINALLY finished my second Welcome Sign. First one is here! 

This one is living at Vanessa's.
I made Thanksgiving cards!
They've all arrived at their destinations!

We had a heavy wet snow last weekend, and it's snowing now.
Not all the farmers were finished. They're still hoping it warms up, or at least stops snowing so they can get crops off!
I just seen a huge flock of cranes going over.
The geese are still around, and the silly robins!
Supposed to be lots of snow this winter!

That's all I got!
Been cleaning my craft area, sorting & labeling stamps.

Set your scales back 10 pounds, and enjoy the turkey! Or ham or whatever!

Have a great week!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!

Hello!
We've been having lovely weather! Unseasonably warm! 
I'm not complaining; I'm sure we'll pay!
It was pretty darn cold out this morning; however, the sun is shining!
This is a St. Patrick's Day card I made.
It's already on it's way to the recipient!

 

I have 3 packages of cards, with all their bits & pieces I hope to do today! they are Thank You, Congratulations, Thinking Of You, and Birthday, although they could be whatever I want!
I'll find a good movie on Netflix, and work away!

I finally have an appointment with the surgeon! Next month!
I've been fighting for 6 7 months to get the screws out!! I'm not leaving without a date to do so!

Craft night Friday was a wash! We've been taking turns doing supper and taking it over! Friday we just visited, ate & drank! That's all right too!
I'll be finished my Welcome sign next Friday.....maybe! 

The family reunion on mom's side is scheduled for July. Always a
great time!

Better go! Finishing the laundry, and I should get busy!

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

Hello, and Thanks for stopping by!

 

I finished my Welcome Sign I've been working on at Friday night craft night!

If we can't have Firepit Friday, we need to do something to keep busy so we stay out of trouble!!

 

And it's a blurry picture....learning how to use my phone!

The "WELCOME" letters really aren't crooked!

 

These turned out so great!

Below is mine on the left, and my friend Peggy's on the right!

 

I'm always amazed at what happens when you start out with the same materials!

We're also not sure why her tall sunflower is taller than mine!

(I might have drilled the hole deeper for my sunflower stem to sit in!)

I'm making another one (of course it will be totally different), and so are 2 of the other girls.

They started coming to supervise, and now will be making one of these!

I think they were pleasantly surprised at how awesome these turned out!

Peggy is starting her work on painting the panels of an old toboggan for outside!

 

The Northern Lights this past week were phenomenal

between 4-5 am! Don't ask how I know!

I don't have a camera good enough to take pictures, but this guy did, and I'm hoping you can make this link work!

They honestly look like that.

If they ever happened in the summer, you could lay on the grass for the show; it's just a tad cool for that; they really are spectacular!

Just makes me smile!

When the sky is lit up like that, you just don't know where to look!

 

Vanessa's counting the days for the rod coming out of my toe, and getting her entryway painted at her house!

We also made Beer Can Chicken on the BBQ last Sunday, and it turned out wonderful!

I have a picture on my phone, but click on the link above, it pretty much looked like that!

 

Must go finish the laundry, and finish preparing for Sunday Supper!

 

Have a great day everyone!

 

Hope you're well!

Talk to ya later!
