Footprints in the sand of time were not made by folks who stood still. --Unknown

Alrighty!
Hello, Thanks for popping in!
I have promised you Amish Auction pics for a month!
I'll get right to it!
 
First; they were paving by the tunnel this side of Cranbrook.
Quite a lengthy delay.
It's ok, it's summer people, that's when they do construction!
This is the temperature.
Yes I'm stopped, my cruise is just set!
 
 
This is the lineup behind me in my rearview mirror!
Goes way around the mountain!
Doesn't take much to amuse me!

 
Rexford, Montana
Quilts being auctioned off in the quilt barn.

 
Whimsical playhouse

 
Furniture barn.
The back of my mom on the left! hahahaha

 
These next 2 pics are doll furniture!
I realize I didn't get a picture of the bed, but you can see it's tiny little quilt behind the tiny night stand on the right!


 
Experiment......

 
Awesome workmanship!

 
Interesting pieces......

 
This next one is at mom's.
It's her 'man' gate, something tried to get in!

 
Did I mention that I LOVE the mountains!?
This is on highway 22 south of Calgary!
 

 
There, you finally have a condensed version!!
 
I must go get my muffins made, then I'm off to paint!
 
Yesterday I participated in our parade float for rodeo weekend here in town.
Then we all had lunch out at the office.
I cleaned my saskatoons I had picked the night before (they were picked before Firepit Friday), did the laundry, painted one of the window frames on the garage at Vanessa's, emailed my aunt 2 recipes for rhubarb, and was drinking wine with Sarah shortly after 8 pm!
Today is a second coat of paint on the window frame, washing the entry, and it's Sunday supper!
 
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!

Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud. --Maya Angelou

Hello everyone!
Thanks for dropping in!

I attended a wedding last Saturday & needed a card!
This is not the labor intensive one I started,
but I was able to whip it up fast, and I liked it!

 
Got the inspiration over here!
Thanks Claudia!
 
I always think I sound like a broken record when I tell you how busy I've been!
Of course I'm busy, or I'd be making more cards & blogging!
The push is on to get the house & yard ready over at V & H's before the social!
The fence is ongoing as it's been so hot, we ran out of paint (& I refuse to buy another gallon until it's on sale!), and something bit me!
 
 
Here's Cinderella/ AKA Vanessa doing the bottom foot or so!
That's her job!

 
We have 5 sections left and when the paint is on sale, that will be the priority!
We've hired a girl to paint the entry....
that will be done on the 23 & 24;
what a load off my mind, as I was scared of those 12 foot walls!
 
The whole province is on fire again, as are BC & Saskatchewan!
 
 
We had to quit painting fence one night because of the ash!
 
Lots of planning for the social for the kids!
It'll be fun!
I'm working another casino later this month, our rodeo (scroll down) is next weekend...........
 
I have the last load of laundry in the washer (for today), then I'm going to check my gf's place.
They're on their way to the Yukon & Alaska, and I'm not sure if they'll get there!
They keep closing the Alaska Highway because of fires!
She said I don't have to water anything....they know how dry it is!
Just make sure nothing's leaking etc.!
I'm babysitting later tonight so V & H and their friends can go to the movie!
 
Gotta run!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
