I know I have been missing in action. We are on vacation next week, so I have been trying to get a lot of last minute things done before we leave. Plus I have been spending way-way-way too much time on Pinterest! If you have been living in a cave and do not know what Pinterest is, it is a website where people post photos of anything and everything. You create an account (free) and then set up your personal "BOARDS" for various topics - like "pets" and "travel" and "food" and such. Then you can download your own photos ("pin") and/or "pin" any of the other photos that you like. You can go into other people's boards and "pin" from there as well. It is a neat way to collect photos of things you love. If you have 2-3 hours to spare, go to my "Board" and see all of the items I have collected. You will see that I am spending way too much time there.....
I was just on a blog and saw this saying that resonated with me and wanted to share.
"What if you woke up tomorrow morning, only having the things you thanked God for today?"
I don't have much to say today, except "hey"!!!! While at my sister's house last weekend, her two "very friendly" dogs both jumped up on my lap at the same time! Morgan probably weighs 30-40 pounds, but thinks she is a Lap Dog. Callie is cute as a button but dumb as a fence post! My sister calls her "blah blah blah".....
The weather in Georgia has been absolutely GORGEOUS. Our trees still have leaves on them in beautiful golds and reds. It is hard to believe it's almost Thanksgiving!!!???
WHERE OH WHERE DID THIS YEAR GO???????
HAPPY DANCE - HAPPY DANCE - HAPPY DANCE
Our management contract at work expires March 17, 2012 and my boss has decided it is time to retire the company. Fortunately, I am close enough to social security to go ahead and retire then. I have been willing and able, but the great salary and benefits would have been hard to lose (after 30 years). So................I already have a list a mile long of things I want to do but never had TIME.
It is exciting, but also scary to realize I am THAT OLD!!!?????
It will be hard to concentrate on work
the next five months!!!!
Well, my niece thinks I am a "great" aunt, but now that she is a new mother, I am a great "great" aunt!!!!
My little sister is finally a grandmother! Her daughter just had a baby, named Emma. We are all so excited, no babies in this family for a long, long time!!!! So I sat down to make a "congratulations" card for my niece and this is what happened.
I am in Georgia and they are in Illinois, so I have not met Emma yet, but hopefully soon.
No, I did not fall off the face of the earth!!! We spent a week in the Vancouver/Seattle area with friends and then I came back to work for three days, then spent another three days at a beading class with Laura McCabe (which was wonderful). Hopefully, I can get some pictures up soon of my latest projects.
In the meantime, this is a typical Sunday morning at our house:
I think our kitties are way too stressed, don't you????
WE DON'T DIAL 9-1-1 AT THIS HOUSE!!!!
You will not believe it!!!!! My hubby and I have been talking for months/years about me learning to shoot a gun. We have one (or 2 or 3 or 4) guns at home, but if something were to happen and he was not there, I had no clue how to use the gun. So we went to the shooting range over the weekend. Here I was with my ear cuffs and glasses on, watching my hubby show me how to hold it and point it and shoot it. So I step up and take the gun and shoot.................
BAM!
OMG - it scared the crap out of me!!!! I did not know how "powerful" a hand gun was and the "kick back" to it after you shoot. AND, I did not know FIRE would come out of the gun! I put the gun down, walked backwards and said "Oh Shit" - two young men next to us were cracking up. All I saw was a FIRE flash and my wet pants.....
But anyway, my patient hubby talked me into trying it several more times, which I did (against my better judgement, afraid I was going to kill someone in the room). It was not quite as bad after a few times, but it is still unbelievably awesome and scary. But now I know what to do if some poor bastard tries to break into MY house!
Look at these adorable chicken coops! People are so imaginative. I found these on the blog at www.theartofdoingstuff.com. The gal's boyfriend bought her some baby chicks for her birthday so they are deciding how to make the chicken coop. That is a cute blog, worth reading, she is precious.
Also, you animal lovers need to go to www.cuteoverload.com again today. About the third or fourth post down dated May 5 are some videos of new baby colts jumping around in the pasture and after that there are more videos of kitties "making biscuits" on anyone and anything which are precious! Have a great weekend.
I found these photos on a blog which show a bowling alley at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. I am not a bowler, but I think I might just be interested in this bowling alley???? Can you believe this?
STRIKE ONE!!! Oh wait a minute, that's baseball, isn't it? Who cares, I would just sit at that gorgeous bar and watch!!!!!
