Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. - Les Brown

This is the first time I've been home at a decent hour this week!
I went to a par-tay Monday night....it was a blast!
Last night was Stamp Club.

Bonnie, you'll be happy to hear that our Stamp lady doesn't do Halloween either!
So I scored a Halloween Stamp Set for a decent price (she won it)!

We made the following.

We also made another Christmas card, but I haven't finished putting it together.

I wanted a saying on mine and it wasn't an option!

Hahahaha.

It was getting late!

Ray's going to a funeral Friday, so I'll let him have the Sympathy card.

Gawd, I must be tired!

I've got the heat on!

I need to sleep for a week!

Kalens renters move out Friday, and Beth(the cleaning lady I found) & I will be at the house Saturday at 9:00am!

Got new (hopefully improved!) renters moving in on the 7th of October!

One of my SIL's is a realtor, so we were a rental tag team!

Now we gotta get the place spruced up, and ready!

Vanessa & Shawn will be here for Thanksgiving!

We're in CANADA people, so it's next month!

I got the bird today!

I'm wondering when I'll have time for everything, cause we'll be eating on the Saturday.

I won't be fretting about it!

It will be what it will be!

Lastly, for those of you that just see a black box in this post;

I sweet talked my friend Darlene into sharing her photos from last night.

Hopefully when you click on that there will be 5-6 pictures!

When I e-mailed her to ask permission to share them with you, she said they're out again tonight;  nothing spectacular yet....but she'd be watching!

These are not color enhanced or anything!

They truly are that AWESOME!

ENJOY!

Gotta run!

Gotta get the AVON ordered!

Ta ta for now!

I'd love a weekend off!
Seriously!

I watched the sun come up yesterday.....nothing spectacular, except for the sun on the trees!

Then it got cloudy; so I started washing windows.
Got 6 done inside & out, and 3 more outsides. Just 3 more to go, and they're the biggest!
Here are the helpers on the deck.

Hahahaha!

This is my kitchen window.....

right after the public area windows were washed this spring, some over zealous bird crapped on it!

I've looked at that all summer!

Never mind....I'm a hurtin unit from hauling the ladder around....don't wanna do THAT more than I have to!

It's an awesome ladder though, you can go up either side...sturdy, only too big (8 ft.) & unwieldly!

Need about a 6 foot ladder!

Here's the after picture!

Which then led to the make work stuff!
I washed the drapes in the M bedroom.
Then did the valance, rug & shower curtain in the M bath!
Between yesterday & today, I've done about 6 loads of laundry; and had to have a redo of the towels cause the washer was still on delicate! YOI!

I tried out the rice cooker Vanessa & Shawn gave me last weekend.
I had cinnamon tinged Basmati Rice, and was going to cook a smokie over the fire, but was too tired!
How does that rice cooker know when the rice is cooked? hmmmmmm? It wasn't sticky or anything!
I was outside last night drinking beer by the fire pit, when a flock of cranes flew over.

Usually you can hear them and they're so high up you can't see them, and yes; they are headed south!

I was up at 5 am this morning....Gawd, I don't know why!

I did finish this little photo album though.

As Bonnie said, "Just do it girl!"

Here goes.

Originally; I wanted it to fit in this film canister I scored!

This last picture is in acrylic, cause it's on the back!

I don't want it to scratch.

Here's the finished product!

And of course it doesn't fit in the canister!

I'd have to use about 4 CD's and have no embellishments!

Hope I did ya proud Bonnie!

I'm going to take it to my mom, so she can brag....don't worry,

I'm trading mom for her pictures that are the same!

Now hopefully Bonnie forgives me for this next picture!

A Halloween card I made this week!

I'm really hating not liking that Glimmer Mist in red!

Looks like I killed somebody, and I was going for a fine mist!?

I got the card inspiration here!

The haunted house was a $1.50 in the bin at Michaels.

Got muffins in the oven for lunch for work, gonna throw the last load of laundry in the dryer...hey, I hung the other stuff out, and go have a nap!

That's the plan anyhoo!

Have a great week people!

Ta ta for now!
