Happy Easter


Happy Easter to all my family in Iowa and friends here in Arizona. What a beautiful day it was with bright blue skies and sunshine. This year I decided to take advantage of Super Suppers Easter dinner special. What a lot of great food we had. Pork loin, ham and cheddar strata, praline french toast, swiss cheese vegetable medley, twice baked potatoes and lemon pie. all of it was fantastic. Anthony loaded up on the deviled eggs. He loves those.
After our meal the games were on. The competition was fierce and in the end Anthony and TJ won the final round. Anthony plays with complete abandon and he is so fun to watch. Sadera is a fierce competitor and hates losing. and then there is John and TJ oh my do they compete to beat the "girls". It was a fun fun day with family.
So what is one of my posts without the pictures. Sit and relax and enjoy our family Easter.

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...
