"Narnia" The Bamsey/Vick Adventure

So when we were at lunch last Sunday "we" decided to go see the Narnia Exhibit at the Science Center in downtown Phoenix. Jenn went online and purchased our tickets and our time was at 11 AM today. TJ drove in and picked me up and off we went. Met the Vick's at the parking garage and we were off. Not only were our tickets good for the Exhibit but for almost all the exhibits in the Science Center. Darn we didn't have tickets to the Gross something or other:)
Disney put on this exhibition so unfortunately no photos allowed. It was too bad as there were some awesome photo opportunities with the throne etc. We all enjoyed "Narnia" and had a blast with all the other exhibits. I think most of us thought the Forces of Nature was the best. We were in a hurricane, earthquake, monsoon, tornado, volcanic eruption, wildfire. So we were rained on, wind blown, heated up and shaken. It was a cool exhibit and since it seemed to be hot in the center the rain drops were wonderful. Following the tour we hit the road again and headed to Benihanas on Chandler Blvd for lunch. Great California rolls, sushi and good chicken and rice. FUN FUN day as a family.

TJ and Anthony. Anthony was the food critic giving TJ expert advice on all the food and whether it was a thumbs up or down. He cracked us all up.

So another great weekend is almost at an end. It is back to work tomorrow

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...
