Week in Pics

Another busy but productive week. I seem to have accomplished much more than anticipated and am slowly getting caught up with paper work. Yeah me.
Just a quick update as I am sure everyone is tired of my woes. I have done well this week. Strength and stamina are improving daily, mobility is improving and my weight training and knee rehab are going very well. Slowly ever so slowly the left thigh muscle is coming back. Next Friday I will be liberated from my cast and put in some type of knee brace and then I can really start the rehab thing. enough said

So lots of little things to report, but will do it in pics. Grab your favorite beverage as this is long!!!
I joined a Valentine Tag Swap with Heather at Speckled Egg. Yesterday our tags arrived and what fun it was to go through them and see all the different techniques. Heather included a great little package of goodies. Thanks Heather.
She divided the tags into pink and red groups.

My new best friend is this container on wheels. I had told Kim that doing laundry was a pain on crutches as I either made a bizillion trips back and forth with a few pieces of laundry or I piled it all under my shirt (looking very fat and pregnant) and made my way to the washer. Jenn and I found this last weekend and my life is wonderful as I can throw everything in it and pull it behind me to the laundry area plus when the clothes are finished drying I can throw them in there and haul to the couch where they can be folded.


Wednesday nite was Stampin Up class at Jan's. We made 2 cards and 2 containers. Lots of fun. Here is one of the baskets


Another little container using my favorite new Stampin Up paper

And since I didn't get pics from our last class before here are the 3 cards from last class


So there you have it. Rumor has it my son is coming in this am to take me to the bank to get some things taken care of and then we mite have lunch with my daughter and her family.
Hope you all have a great weekend

Hi Sherry!
I haven't visited you in a while...it's good to see you're up and around, at least a little more! I loved all the tags, too! That was a great swap, and I'd sign up for a tag swap in a heartbeat from now on! I loved YOUR beautiful tag, the layering and coloring is so pretty! And to top it off with a metal heart---fabulous!
Take care, and don't pust your leg too much (like shopping trips???)

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...
