OK, Folks

I thought here it is almost June and this is what we woke up to this morning


It is almost noon now and it is still snowing and we are under a winter storm watch until 10pm tonight. See it is coming down pretty hard.


And it isn't very warm out either. My plants in pots went in the garage Thursday night and are just hanging out. Hopefully the others I planted will survive.




Yesterday I managed to work most of the day and I went in for a few hours this morning and came home on call. So have managed to squeak out a few hours at work and won't have such a measly pay check.

My Passport---it's Here!!!

My passport was due to be renewed in September. I was really anxious to start this project again, as last time the process took 9 months. They kept rejecting my photos-it took 3 attempts before they finally accepted one. And that was very costly to have to keep resending it.
This time I did things different. Curtis and I took a quick run to Lethbridge, Alberta and visited the CAA. I figured they should have it down pat.
About 5 weeks ago I sent off the paper work registered mail and it arrived back earlier this week. I feel like I am held hostage while it is out of my hands. It means there is no traveling out of the states until it returns. But now it is my hot little hands.


Have kind of neglected my blog the last couple of days. Trying to get the outside work caught up since they are predicting rain ad snow,at the higher elevations, for the next couple of days. And it is cold out-our furnace has been coming on today. My plant in pots are in the garage.
I have been quilting some blankets for the babies in the NICU. Have been taking call for work. And I get to work the next two days. Kirsten has a derby match tomorrow and She asked me to sew a banner for them, which I did.
Anyway, I will l leave you with a layout I recently completed. I've been working on a 8x8 album for Harlee from our trip last summer to Yellowstone.

It was just one of those Days

When not much gets accomplished.
I had to have my yearly check up today, followed up with my mammogram this afternoon.
I did manage to get the bathrooms cleaned somewhere in the midst of running around.
Then this afternoon I watched Nic for a bit so his mommy could run to Harlee's preschool for an update on her progress. The final verdict is in- she is ready for Kindergarten

Monday, Monday

And so we start another week. I am going to get showered and head to Home Depot for some dirt. It is time to get my gardens planted . I actually have some coming back up that I planted last year.

Miracles of miracles, I actually got to go into work for a few hours yesterday afternoon. A few changes since I was last there. Haven't really worked since we came back from Hawaii.

A couple of layouts to share of Lugnut that I recently have created.

She's a Hoot

I took these photos a couple of weeks ago when we had the grandkids over. Toots discovered her reflection in the sliding glass door.


















Pretty chilled out Saturday. I didn't sleep well. Was awake at 1230, up from 1:30 - 2:30 and still awake until 4:30. So I was glad when work didn't call for me and I was just on call. But I did get all the ironing caught up and watched a movie while doing it. Quick trip to the grocery store and Curtis and I visited Kirsten at Wheat Montana for some lunch.

Feeding the Ducks

Since we got back from The coast Harlee has been asking to go to the park and feed the ducks. So, yesterday I picked her up from the bus and we headed to the park and the duck pond. It seems to have a lot of Canadian geese that are quite bold. And they are almost as big as she is. She wasn't afraid, but I was for her, so I put her up on a bench so she would be a little further away from them.








And, of coarse, we had to stop at the playground, too.








This morning I headed out to Target after my walk to pick up some items for Kirsten, as she had Nic sick at home. And I got my floors all mopped and the vacuuming done. They sprayed my lawn, so it was watered too. And it is raining this evening so that will help the grass too. It has been pretty hot the last couple of days. I even had the A/C on yesterday.

Our Graduate

Sunday was busy with Caitlin, who was officially graduating from University of Puget Sound. New, she has been done with classes since December. She wanted to walk with her class and friends.
She and her friends had a brunch on Sunday morning. I went back with her to her house to help cut up fruit we had bought. These are the girls who provided brunch for their families rather than pay $18.95 for the brunch provided by the college.


Curtis and I headed over to the stadium to get seats and Kirsten headed back to the hotel with the kids. The lucky graduates got to sit on the field for a couple of hours. The weather was gorgeous, but rather hot down there on the field. There were over 600 undergraduates and over 100 post graduates. And then trying to find her on the campus afterwards with all those people was a nightmare. And to think this is a small college.




We are so proud Cait. You worked very hard getting all your work done in 3 1/2years. Can hardly wait to see what your next adventure will be!
