In all the chaos stay focused on your dreams. --Vanessa McLean

Good morning!
You were going to get a twofer last night, but I was too tired.
How tired was I?
WELL, I didn't realize until this morning that I posted my HM creation (previous post), and didn't link it up at the HMFMC til now! OI!

I know I've been remiss about blogging.................
can I just say the summer's too short, and I really like to spend time outside while I can!
I even napped on my swing last evening; it's my favorite place in the yard!

I've cleaned my desk off, made some cards, which I will get to so you can get on with your day, and I'd also like to welcome Mary Ann! Don't know if you'll learn anything, but you might get a laugh or two!

Also, can you please go over here and send Curt some love!?
He's hurtin and hasn't posted for 2 months.
I miss him!
And, my friend Bonnie over here, lost 2 furbabies within 5 weeks of each other.
She does have a new little one to help fill the holes in her heart; Bugsy!

Alrighty then; I made these cards for someone.
I have another 3 to go, and I can't say who,
cause I think they read the blog; darn followers by e-mail!
Anyone know how I can see who they are????

ANYHOO.........................

 

 

I made this encouragement card for a Rodeo Queen wannabe!?

She is! (Second from left!)

 

 

My strawberries are happy in their garden.............

building them their own box is on the agenda for this weekend.

They are so sweet!

 

 

It's been cloudy here most of the week, and rains at least once a day in the vacinity!

 

 

Sitting in the swing enjoying the birds, there's a birdbath to the right, and the Robins really like it!

 

 

Shadow smiling for a bellyrub!

 

 

I went to Peace River last Saturday; picked up Vanessa, then we spent the day at a swim meet, watching the middle grandchild! (Long Story)

His mom liked that we came, made the day go faster for her!

 

 

It's hard to get a picture of them swimming, but pretty sure that's his coach in the blue!

 

 

Here's a field of Canola right across from where I work.

The tracks are from the sprayer.

You know;

"The crop is genetically modified for control of the weeds"!?

 

 

That's all I got!

Working on a mini album for my mom with pictures from last years Family Rebellion.

 

It's supposed to rain today, so the dusting & vacuming might get done.

I want to start on the strawberry bed;

some nasty wasps have made a nest in some of the lumber I'm using.

Yup..................More of this!

 

Hope you're well.

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

Life's most urgent question is: what are you doing for others?-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hellooooo peeps!
I'm becoming a slackard!
Not really, but you think I'd have more time to talk to ya!
It's August, we're not going to have rainy weather summer for too much longer!

I've been starving the kittens! Not intentionally!
Who knew they ate so much!
Remember I said I thought they were too little to leave their mom!?
Well, I'd been feeding them a little porridge with whipping cream or canned milk on it!
Every time I went over to the cat house garden shed, the dish would be empty, and they'd be crying!
I glanced at the dry cat food, which is what we feed the big cats, and it's just crumbs!
The little dumplings can't chew it up properly!
Now they get a pie plate full of canned cat food, porridge, and canned milk, and we're all happier!
Jeez, the things I do!?

I have tree hugger kittens! hahahaha

Kitty toys....I know there's only 4, they're gonna have to share!

I'm going to Grande Prairie tomorrow!
Gonna limp take the van to Fairview!
Different dealer.
I've got a rock stuck somewhere it shouldn't be, and I have a horrible shimmy on the highway!
I spent 20 minutes Wednesday night at the car wash, but I think the van needs to be lifted up.
Some of that crap dries like cement!

Sunday and Monday I'm working volunteering at the Casino for Minor Hockey!
I.KNOW!
It's the same with every organization.
Everyone wants to do these fundraisers, but no one wants to help!
These are the same MOTHERS that would bitch if their kids registration fee went up!
Fundraisers like this keep the costs down for kids, and pay for a few extras....usually!
I LOVE working the casino!
If I lived in a city I'd so be working there, as a cage supervisor, or count room supervisor!
I guess I'm a people watcher like my dad was!

The outdoor furnace has a new seal!
Hopefully I did it right!

I used 2 thingys of the gasket cement! It said to stick the newspaper in the door before you shut it so it dries.

I'm thinking whatever sticks, burns off!

The lines have been raised in the dugout!

There's Ray studying the situation!

I've been whippersnipping and mowing haying!
Especially by the dugout!
And it's gonna be bad by the camper too!

It was really thundering out a while ago.
I think whatever was going on, missed us!

A few cards.

I got this paper pack, and decided to make them all the same recipe!

I got the idea Here!

There are 5 different colors, with about 6 different patterns, so I have the orange & pink to go.

I'll end up with an assortment (sort of)!

I figure I'll stamp the inside as the occasion arises, cause some could be used for a couple things!

I also found another wedding card I want to try, but I think I'm out of white vellum!OMG!

Got my hair done today....yeah it needed it!

Medical, and drivers license, I'm good for another 2 years I guess!

Gotta go, have a great weekend!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!
