Just a run of the mill hot week

Nothing really new and exciting to share with all of you. It has been a typical work, eat, sleep kind of a week. The weather has been hot and dry with no rain in site. Wishing for lush green and cooler temps. I am afraid that is not happening right now.

I am officially on cat duty while my daughter and family have been in San Diego all week. So I am feeding and watering the little felines. They seem to be happy to see me these days. Guess they are bored without family to entertain them ha ha. Usually they won't have a thing to do with me but these days I am greeted at the door as I walk in.

Today it is Bountiful Baskets so am wondering what I will be eating for fruits and veggies this week. It is organic week. Need to pick up my order early this am. Then home to get ready for lunch with a friend. Looking forward to that.

So you can pretty much see I am boring!!!
Ok off to get ready to go get food baskets more later

Wednesday night was an extra class at Jan's house for Stampin Up. We completed a beautiful card, 2 containers for treats, flower pops and got to play with Stampin Ups new home decor line. Loving the vinyl stuff.






I will leave you with this quote I found while blog hopping:

When we constantly choose to be grateful, we notice that every breath is a miracle and each smile becomes a gift.
We begin to understand that difficulties are also invaluable lessons. The sun is always shining for us when we are grateful, even if it is hidden behind clouds on a rainy day.
A simple sandwich becomes a feast, and a trinket is transformed into a treasure

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...
