If you want to be happy, be. -Leo Tolstoy

Hello, thought I should get back into practice!

I made a Birthday card before I left, and haven't posted yet!
It's a 'guy' card, and was well received!

Been working in the yard, and at the house in town.
I'll have to find a 'before' Picture.
The deck on the house in town was 40' long, and 10' wide.
Faces south.
No one used it.
We're cutting almost half off, putting lattice around the bottom (darn cats!), and putting up a gazebo, for shade.
It will be lovely!!!
Hoping to finish it tomorrow, if it doesn't rain!
The gazebo comes Wednesday!

Our fireworks for Canada Day were a big hit!
Everyone brought a package.
We lined up spectator chairs; set the fireworks up by the dugout, and waited for dark.
Who knew there was so much smoke!
It was already foggy!
The only one who didn't enjoy them was Shadow, she turned into a large lap dog!!
We know for next time! She'll be going in the porch!

Better go, I came in here to make a couple cards!

Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

Work hard, stay positive, and get up early. -George Allen, Sr.

Good Day!

I've been home for a week!
Tomorrow's a holiday, Happy Canada Day my Canadian peeps!
I told them I'd be in to work if it was raining. It's not.
I want to finish the yard work I started yesterday after the rain, and get my gazebo up!

We had to change Firepit Friday to tonight, as I did Happy Hour at the Old Folks Home Friday night!
I'm cooking hamburgers, making a salad, and I made pies yesterday.
I'm running to town for some fireworks too!

This will be a ton of pictures, and not a crafty thing in sight, so I'll tell you what I've been up to and you can skip the pics!

I went to pick up my mom & we went to the Amish Auction Sale in Rexford, Montana.
Mom & I went to see Duane Steele.
We went to Crawford Bay. A friend from waaaaay back & her husband bought property there, and are setting up an RV park.
We hung out in Bonner's Ferry, and Ponderay in Idaho.
We learned how to play Pickle Ball.
Had lots of laughs, and a great time............I need a vacation from my vacation!

Some pictures from the sale.

Too much beer & heat, need a nap on the golf cart

 

Shouldn't have let him nap,

got our butts kicked at horse shoes!

 

It's all been fun & games!

Not sure when I'll get to make anything!

I've also been painting the firepit furniture.

I got all the chairs done, just have 2 picnic tables left!

 

Better go,

gotta get my work done before it gets really hot!

 

Hope you're all well!
