Weekend Recap

The Bamsey/Vick family met for lunch at Firebirds at the Chandler Fashion Mall. TJ highly recommended the restaurant so we all decided (really me) to meet there for lunch today. Well, TJ was 100% right excellent food, drinks and desserts.

Sadera's dance recital was last night so all the Vicks were a wee bit tired.

The place to meet

TJ being patient with Mom as she wanted photos

A small glimpse of inside

Sadera and Anthony aren't they full of energy???

My fillet and shrimp with key lime butter yum!!!

TJ's plank grilled salmon. Note he was the only one that had the most sensible meal the rest of us had very large servings plus appetizers

Seared Ahai tuna guess John and TJ said it was good

And here we are as "we" didn't want to move to the benches in the shade for Mom to get the family pic so "we" are staring into the sun. Anyway we had a good meal and lots of laughs

Saturday I met up with Kim H at Mystic for a quick (ha ha) stop for some more of Tim Holtz embellies and I wanted to see the new Heather Baily line. Well my/our quick stop was a bit longer with a trip to Domestic Bliss, Adorn, Blossom and ya Sweetcakes for lunch. It seemed strange not to have Colleen with us, but she is in California with Mike and Tonya's 1st year anniversary celebration.

Found a really cute top at Blossom

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...
