Happy Father's Day

My Dad!! Hope you have a great Father's Day Dad!!!


Yesterday was another shopping adventure. The usual Starbucks coffee with Kim and Kelsey and then to Mystic Paper to pick up more Tim Holtz ideology stuff. Believe it or not there is some things we didn't have. Maija was at Mystic so we had a good visit with her. Lots of laughs over all of our adventures. From Mystic it was over to check out Domestic Bliss as Maija had not been there. Again we all had a wish list from there seeing all the new clothes, jewelry and such. Toured Blissful Living and saw the upcoming classes. I liked Beth Quin's glove mounted on a frame. Then on our way to the cars we stopped in to a sweet little hair salon and boutique "ADORN". Jackpot!!! 3 tops and capri pants for me, Maija purchased a sweet top and Kelsey talked MOM into a top and shorts. Good times. We parted ways as Maija wasn't able to do lunch due to prior engagements with sons. Lunched a Sweetcakes yum yum yum. We were somewhat revived and headed over to Scrapology to check out their store. Very nice store very friendly owner and all 3 of us picked up some new papers and flocking embossing powder. We were all hot and tired so it was homeward bound for all of us. I need to say Kelsey had a new hairdo and it was WOW really really cute both the color and the cut. She looked so darn cute.
Good day
So today it is put all the stuff away, finish the laundry, clean and oh ya shop for a few groceries as I am running low on important things like meat, milk eggs and DIET PEPSI.
Hope it is a great Father's Day for all the Father's out there

I so wish I could be there for one of your Saturday "field trips". They sound like so much fun! Next time you are at Sweetcakes, please have a pecan chicken salad sandwich for me (and be sure to let me know how yummy it was!)
Hugs,

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...
