Oh where have the last 2 weeks gone??

Wow the past 2 weeks have just flown by. Between working some crazy hours at the unit, getting a BBQ pulled together for Warren (leaving after 8 years with us) and helping my sister get ready for my folks 60 th anniversary time is flying. But.. surprise surprise I managed to take a class in between all this.

Warren has been with WSD for 8 years and has been a steadfast, loyal employee. He will be missed by our patients and staff. BBQ we had for him was perfect as we actually got to sit and chat for a long time. I wish him good luck at his new job and with his new endevor Liberal Christian Trio.

Jennifer and John and kids are doing great just so busy working and lots of activities with the kids.

Class with Michelle at Devine Memories this was such a fun album to make in a picture frame. Love it Michelle
Sneek peek of just a little of what I'm doing for the anniversary celebration

Card class at Jan's on the 6th. Fun cards and we missed Colleen as she is in Germany at her son's wedding. It was pretty quiet without her


And lastly a surprise visit from Colleen with Mr Rooster now residing in my home. Love my rooster Colleen and the parrot does
NOT like the rooster. If the parrot gets too loud I sit the rooster next to him and he suddenly shuts up Love it
So on to another week finishing up projects, a class, and hearing all the details of the Germany wedding. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Catch ya all later

Final Goodbyes

Image
It has been a gut wrenching sad and emotional two months for the Struchen's. We have said our final goodbyes with many tears, laughter, sadness and breaking hearts. Dad passed on Feb 25th and now Mom has joined him on March 10th.  We knew Mom was very ill but none of us expected that she would go so very quickly. And now as my sister says we are orphans.  We are still family but right now without Dad and Mom to bring us and keep us all together as they had worked so hard to do all these years. As I had written on Caring Bridge Dad was our hero, our mentor our DAD.  It is so hard to realize there are no more early am text messages or emails  no more 4pm Sunday phone calls.  There is a giant void in my heart Mom seemed to think she always took a back seat to Dad.  But she was always there to help us, give us strength hold us to a higher standard.  "We Struchen women are tough" she used to tell me when I was needing a listening ear.  "You c...

Where did the weekend go????

Image
It doesn't seem to matter if I have 3 days off or a normal Saturday & Sunday off, it is never ever enough. Here it is already 7pm and I am getting ready for work tomorrow. Last early day and then back to the old routine. So what did I accomplish this weekend?? not too much as far as the home front goes. Just the usual laundry and clean but no yard work. Now on the creative level I had a great inspiring weekend. I rode to Payson with Earleen and Annette on Sat am for a class by the 2 gypsy girls Debbie and Paula . I had my doubts I could construct a house that would stand. Due the patience of the 2 Gyspsie Girls my house is still standing today:) I loved this class. The roof holds the little album and the clever use of the 7 Gypsy elastics made the page signatures so easy. After class we joined Annette and her family at their reunion. Invited crashers we were. We feasted on Alaskan Salmon thank you Robert and all the yummy goodies from a reunion. A couple of q...
