An uninspired mind is a handicap we all can do something about. --James R. Ball

Good evening!

What a weekend, and yes I had to work today!

I cooked on Saturday!
Ham, scalloped potatoes, the works, made a Raisin Sauce for the ham!
It was DELISH!

Here's a picture of the dessert that made everyone smile!
Including Vanessa, cause it's her favortie color! HA!


 
Just google Clouds & Sky...all it is is jello & whipped cream!
But just what we needed!

The fun didn't stop there!
For our next trick....after supper, dessert & wine............
We; Vanessa, her friend & I went to unload the treadmill I bought, and Vanessa brought!
Ray forgot where he lived, and wasn't home!
Vanessa:"It took 3 guys to get it in here"
Hers is the white SUV.
I went & got the furniture dolly, and we slid it out onto it.
Both tires were flat!
We got it to the steps outside on the flat tires.
With Vanessa & I on the 'Heavy End'- that's what it said,
and Carol at the top of the stairs, we pushed & pulled it to the door.
Carol flipped one of my entry way rugs over, and we slid it the rest of the way into the kitchen!
I made Vanessa take pictures so she could "PROVE" that 3 women got it into the house!
 
Here's the sad, flat tired dolly!
 
 
I need you to notice all the SNOW we still have!
 
The disaster in the entry way!

 
Here it is........in the kitchen!
All 335 lbs of it!
 
 
Here's Carol & I with our farm gloves on!
 
 
And our boots & shoes; told her not to worry about it!
 
Then on Sunday, Vanessa & I put it together. TWICE!
OMG!
We got it together in the kitchen,
and it wouldn't fit through the doorway of the bedroom it's going to live in!
 
Ha, we're both taking pictures of the unbelievable NO FIT!
That was ok though, because Vanessa had dropped one of my little screwdrivers into the handle part, and we couldn't get it out without taking it apart!
 
 
There you have the rest of the story!!!!
It's resting comfortably in the master bedroom, which is humongous;
it has it's own spot, and Ray won't be home when I use it anyway!
We put a little table there for my CD player, cause I listen to audio books while I'm on it....
Only I might check out an ipod!
I have an MP3 player, but we can't get a book to download onto it!
Yes, I've had it to the computer store, the library,
and anywhere else they might know something about it!
 
I need to find a home for all the stuff that came out of the bedroom!
Including that little computer table on the left!
Think I'll take it to the second hand store!
 
I did make a few cards last week!
I tried this technique I got from my friend Myrna's blog!
 
 
 
I made 2 of them!
The second one, I made some pretty trash, cause I tried to run the lattice through the Xyron!
Run the cardstock through the Xyron before you use the die!!!!
They're very pretty!
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. --Helen Keller

Hello everyone!
Hope you people in Canada are enjoying the long weekend!?

Ray got back from Phoenix Wendsday night.
Sicker than a dog!
The funny thing is, he didn't get sick from anyone or anything in the U.S. of A.
He got sick cause his BIL arrived sick from Canada, and they all stayed at the same house!
I hope I don't get it....knock on wood!
He did good in the shopping department though!
Our coffee pot crapped out a few days before he left; I bought a cheap one at Fields until they go on sale.
He came home with this!
Oh Happy Day!!!
He also picked up some new phones that were desperately needed!
Oh yeah, the wedding was wonderful, he figures there were about 100 people there, and except for the 4 neighbors they'd invited, the rest of the guests were Team Canada! hahahaha

Anyhoo, I was going to make my go-to wedding card to send the new bride & groom;
of course I had to look it up again because I can never find the template! It's here!
I dug out my Xyron I got at the Garage Sale, and can honestly say I'll be using it more often!
For everything!
It turns what ever fits in there into a sticker!!!
Who knew!?

 
I put all the pieces through.....

 
Stuck them on some light (cereal box type) cardboard......

 
Cut them out, and put them in a marked envelope!
Of course I'll remember where I put it! HA!
 
Here's a crappy picture of the finished project!

 
It's a gatefold, her dress closes it with a little magnet;
I put a little envelope inside so we can send some cash.....
US cash, cause they have a condo in Phoenix!
 
The weather's been lovely,
Shadow & I will go for our walk today before the sun heats everything up to slush & muck!
 
Vanessa will be here today after work!
Also one of her friends from town is coming for supper!
I'm cooking today, the scalloped potatoes are already in the slow cooker!
Making an amazing dessert, I'll try to remember to take pictures!
 
Vanessa's also bringing me a little present I bought myself over the phone yesterday!
A treadmill!
It was advertised for $2199.99.
I.KNOW!
It was on sale; I used the points I'd accumulated on my credit card,
and paid less than $700.00! (With GST)
It has a lifetime warranty on the motor & frame.....
I shopped around!
Ray's sister took hers back, and I really need excercise of some sort in the winter!
I'll be setting it up next week,
because it won't be long before Shadow & I have to take a break....
It will just be too muddy!
 
Hope you're all well!
Thanks for popping in to say HI!
Your comments alwasy make me smile!
Happy Easter everyone!
 
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
