I am grateful for........EVERYONE in my life.

Happy Sunday peeps!

It has been raining.EVERY.DAY!

In between there's been a lot of whippersnipping, weeding, and mowing!

I'm also packing my bags; it's that time of year for the Amish Auction Sale, and I leave Wednesday!
Gotta go pick up mom, then we're off for our sleepover at Eureka!
Last year we stayed in Libby!
Mom has some family coming, so should be a riot!

My vehicle's been to the shop 3 times in the last couple weeks!!
Needed calipers & something on the back end.
The air bag light was on..........broken wires..........
And yesterday I got a new wheel bearing on the back.......
Hopefully I'm set!

Thursday night when it rained, I was a cardmaking fool!
These were a package from SU, kinda a postcard thing.
There were 8, so I made 2 of each, and my mom will get 4,
and the aunt I stay with in my travels will get the other 4.

 
 
 
 I'm not sure where the fourth one went!!!! hahaha
I tried to find you a link, but they must have been on the 'Clearance Rack'!
 
I needed a birthday card to take on my travels......
a 'guy' card.

 
In other news,
work on the garbage stand in town continues........
 


 
Actually, it's painted,
has a lid,
just needs it not to rain so it can be put outside on its 4 X 4's & leveled!
I told Vanessa to call ALL her friends, cause it's heavy.
That way no one will steal it! hahahaha
 
This is what's going on at my house between rains!
I'm upping the property value of Shadows house,
seen here on the left!
 


 
It really is to keep my shoes from getting muddy when I go weed that flower bed.
This section will be done today!

 
When I get home, I'll tackle the areas around the gardens........
It looks 100% better!
 
Last week I had dinner with the gf's X 2 (different gf's)
I DID go to the wedding shower last Saturday.
I've been sick..............
not sure if it's just a cold or what.
Have a DR's appointment tomorrow for refills of my perscriptions, so will see what he says!
 
I need to make one more birthday card before I go!
When it rains today that's what I'll do!
 
Today sees a full day of weeding, and weed whacking, laundry, take everything out of my vehicle cause it's getting cleaned on Tuesday, etc.!
 
Better go; just want you to know that I'll be MIA for a couple weeks!
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.-Maya Angelou

Happy Saturday peeps!

It's all good, and I hate to repeat myself, but life is really getting in the way this year.
I'd say summer.......but.......... (insert maniacal laughter here!)

Since I posted last I have had

- Vanessa's birthday supper


 
She got her quilt from last years Amish Auction sale



 
We got a puppy at work....her name is Cardi, (short for Bacardi), no we didn't get to name her.
She likes to sleep in the boot tray, and yes, her face is in my shoe!
 
 
 
I got the lawn mower stuck..........hahahahaha
 
 
Made a card for a shower!!
 
 
I've also:
 
- Took the seniors at the home to the 2 local greenhouses to get their flowers
- Drove the handivan for the community run
- I DID get the lawn mowing & whipper snipping done
- Sprayed the dandelions/ I'll be doing that again....tis the season
- Been to Peace River with Ray for an appointment
- Went with Vanessa to the lawyer (twice) to sign Kalen's mortgage over to her
- Been on the phone trying to get my cracked window replaced before warranty is off
- Was on the phone with the satellite people, cause both receivers quit one week;
we had no TV for almost 2 weeks, which didn't affect me! 
- Planted the garden
- Wednesday dinners with the gf's
- Firepit Fridays
- Caught my fingers in a log when I was using the wood splitter
And a million other things too numerous to mention!
 
Today on the agenda is:
 
The shower I made the aforementioned card for
Building a garbage stand for the house in town
Shopping at the hardware store
Buying some peonies & strawberries.....mine winterkilled!
I'm sure there's a firepit in there somewhere.....with a beverage!
 
Better go, the laundry awaits!
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
