Imagine what you could do if you weren't afraid to try. --Michael Ritter

Hello!
How are you?

It's been a while!
I've been making Sympathy cards.
Not my favorite.

I'll show them to you then you can get on with your day!
The first two were part of kits from Stampin Up. I get the Paper Pumpkin monthly.




The next two I made last night. My stuff is still all over, so I'll make another couple today.
 



 I made Shadow an appointment to get a hair cut last Monday.
I  had just got into my vehicle to go pick her up when the groomer called & said we had to reschedule.
The hospital had called, it was her mom.
Her mom died that day.

Then my SIL's grandma died. 
Long story, but his grandparents raised him.
Her funeral is tomorrow.
I'm picking up a few peeps and we'll go.

I've been trying to stay out of trouble.
Been to a few movies.
Eddie the Eagle.
Zootopia.

Had a Firepit Friday or 3.
Going to work at the casino next week in GP.

Haven't heard anything from the hospital about getting the hardware out of my foot, so I called.
I'm not on a 'list', and the paperwork hasn't got there!
I tried calling my surgeons office.
I listened to the message twice.
The 'phone' hours are Monday to Thursday from 9:00am to 12:00pm, and 1:00pm to 3:30pm Monday to Thursday.
I called Thursday at 3:33pm.
So I faxed their office from work on Friday!
Good golly!
It's a painful process, but I'll be persistant!

I think the only project going on over at the kid's this summer is the painting of the deck.
I have to get the website for the gazebo, as the snow last May collapsed some of the roof bars. It was a heavy, wet snow. We need to order some replacement roof support.

Kalen is graduating in June.
I have to pick my travels carefully.
I'll go to that.
FYI, lawyers are expensive!
 I'm in the wrong business!
The annual Ammish Auction sale, and the Family Rebellion might have to wait until next time.

Have a great rest of the weekend!
Have a great week!

Talk to ya later!
Hope you're all well!

Don't quit. Take a break, rest if you must then go for it. Don't quit.

Hello!
Nice to see you!
I hope you had a wonderful Easter!

I had my visit with the surgeon on March 22. As soon as he started saying "We'll talk about it...." I almost cried! I said, the screws have to come out, I can't live with the pain! And I have a very high pain tolerance! My poor foot has been swollen and bruised since the surgery. It's not a happy foot!
He said that they would get a hold of me within a couple weeks, and he'd remove the hardware. Next Tuesday will be 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything.
I'm going to have a local anesthetic. Call me crazy, but if they put me to sleep, he might as well redo the operation like he wants to! That would be the third time, and I just can't!

I forgot to take a picture of the treats I made my peeps and the kids of the bosses at work for Easter until I had them packed up to deliver.




 So again, I was treated to an artful Thank You!
Just makes me smile!



One of my friends gave me this coffee mug!
It makes me smile too!
There's a normal mug next to it!
 


I bought the following on the local Buy, Sell, Trade for $20.
I've been wanting to make my own laundry soap for some time.
You know how it goes; do the research, make a list.....and that's it!
Anyhoo, at my local grocery store the Arm & Hammer, and the Oxi Clean added up to over $20. The lady I bought this from even gave me her grater for the bar soap!

 
The geese are back! I've been hearing them at night, but didn't see them until today!
I'm working on some cards. I'll need one for an 8 year old next week!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Talk to ya later!
Hope you're well!
