Colleen's Farewell Tour


Oh my gosh it seems like Colleen just got back into Arizona and it is already time for her to head out again. Last weekend Kim and I took her to lunch at Houstons and so I planned a bit of a "Farewell Tour" of our favorite places for this week end. After a few adjustments to the plan I was able to take off Friday and so off we headed for a leisurely coffee at Starbucks. It was good to just sit and relax and catch up. From Starbucks it was to Mystic. Jennifer was busy moving and Kim J was by herself in the store. We caught up with her and then it was off to ETC. We were lucky and ran into Carol W. What a sweetie and we had such a nice visit. Plus we were able to have hands on viewing of her newest kit. Loving it.
Then it was to the Needlework Attic so Colleen could pick up some more silk thread. I hate going into that store as I almost always buy a needlework project that sits by my chair. :)
TC's was our lunch destination. As usual wonderfully good food. Again Colleen and I had a long leisurely lunch. And then it was home to unpack, organize and put away ha ha all my goodies.
Colleen will be leaving Sunday safe travels dear friend. We will all miss ya

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...
