Happy Mother's Day

What a wonderful day this has been. Actually it has been such a good weekend all around. From my previous posts I think you all know I bought myself a new camera and from previous posts everyone knows how much I love it. Well now my kids love it too. I took many pics and so did Jenn and TJ unfortunately TJ eliminated all the pics of himself. So the following pics are mainly ones Jenn and TJ took. We all met at the Elephant Bar for lunch and to celebrate all of our birthdays and Mother's Day.
Sadera and Anthony were exhausted from the sleepover on Sat for Sadera's birthday party.
Good good food, great desserts and lots of conversations. Following lunch we all trooped over to REI 3rd time this weekend for me and came out empty handed. TJ and I came home and he fixed my leaky shower faucet after a brief trip to Home Depot. Now I am kicking back and looking at all these pictures I have snapped. Great weekend!!!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!!!!

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????

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...
