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!

Happiness is not a matter of fortune or wordly possessions. It is a mental attitude. It comes from appreciating what we have, instead of being miserable about what we don't have. It's so simple, yet so hard for the human mind to comprehend.

Sorry for the long title!

I'll show you Kalen's Birthday Card I mailed to him, then you can skip the rest!





I am aware, as Vanessa pointed out; that the 45 is prominent on the front. I used a numbers embossing folder, and that's just how it worked out! He's not even close to that, so hopefully it's not the first thing HE notices!

The kids and I spent Saturday & Sunday in Rainbow Lake helping one of Vanessa's friends get packed up to move home to Manning.
Make the map of Alberta bigger, find the red Highway 35 in Northern Alberta. Manning isn't on it, but is between North Star, and Notikewin. Go north to High Level, then west. They have tons of snow, and it was cold!!

I am finishing laundry and getting ready to go to work.
It's a payroll week, I have an appointment in Peace River this afternoon at 4. My surgeon appointment is tomorrow in Grande Prairie, and Friday is a holiday! I'll getter done!

My friend who's been living the good life in Arizona is on her way home!!
There's a heavy snowfall warning through the Whitecourt area today. They probably won't be home til the weekend sometime!

That's all I got!
Hope you're all well!
Have a great week!
