Nice doesn't mean doormat, it simply means being kind in your interactions whether its a yes or no.

Hola people!
Thought I'd bring you up to date, sort of!
Here's yesterday mornings temp.
Waaaay better than the last 2 Mondays!

 
In other news,
it's dark when I go to work. :(
We sprung ahead!!

 
I have 6 cards for the aunt!
Maybe 12 was a stretch, but hey it's not June yet!

 
Here's some deer which moments earlier were playing in the traffic!
 
 
Here's an escapee from Hogwarts!!
He's a really big feller!
Was at the entrance to the driveway yesterday!
 
 
Here's my bottle tree a friend of ours made!
He brought it over on Sunday!
 
 
It's not where it's going to live, but I had to try it out!
He did a really good job, and is making 2 for himself!

 
For our next trick at the Luck House, Kalen went hiking yesterday!
He called me yesterday morning to tell me he was hiking from China Beach to Bear Beach (hoped he wouldn't see any bears).
Me: "So you'll call me by supper time tomorrow?(today)"
Kalen: "Well I'll probably be up early so I'll call by noon."
Me: "OK"
Noon today and nothing from Kalen.
I went to town for the mail for work, giving him the benefit of the doubt;
 they ARE 1 hour behind us.
At 2:00 pm, I email 3 Navy friends, and 2 park email addresses I found on their sites!
Of course I sent a warning text saying "I was sending the calvary!"
He texted me at 2:30pm, just when the nice lady from rlc parks called me back!
I told her all was well, better safe than sorry, and Thanked her profusely for getting back to me!
Meanwhile, Kalen texts at 5; jumped the gun a little didn't you!?
I said Nope, you didn't call!
Turns out he got to the campsite; 9- 10 kms, and as he's walking, his back is getting sorer & sorer!
He put up his tent, and layed in it from 5 pm yesterday, to 8 am this morning.
Took his tent down, packed up as best he could, couldn't even tie his boots,
and took forever to hike out!
The terrain is rough going!
He called me tonight AFTER he'd been to the hospital,
and got pain killers & muscle relaxants,
but holy moly, this kid is in shape.
Any path is a good excuse to go for a hike........
Maybe he won't go so far next time....
I don't know, it's what he likes!
My question is; "When do you stop worrying about your children?"
Then I think, Never mind........
I tell my mom the day I'll be at her place!
The only rule is I have to be there before dark!
If I give her a time, she just worries!!!!
 
Alrighty, better go!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

March Challenge over at CCAYR!

WARNING:
This post contains a Christmas Card!
 
Hello peeps!
You know I like to have my Christmas cards done for the end of November, so I'm playing along over at Christmas Cards All Year 'Round!
The challenge for this month is:
"is to create a Christmas themed step card."
This wasn't the step pattern I was looking for, but it worked!
I made 2 of these.
 


I'm also going to link this up at
and
 
Vanessa & I spent the day in PR, getting groceries,
a few things she needs when she moves to Kalens' house in town,
and I got an Ice Maker!
Of COURSE I NEEDED it! hahaha
We have one at work for Happy Hour Friday, and it's the coolest thing!
 
My family's all at the local hockey game, so I'm going to try & finish the quilt cards that I have started; I also need a birthday card!
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
