Friday the 13th

Just realized the day/date....Scary? The only thing scary about it is to sit and wonder where the time has gone...Maxx turned 6 months on the 11th and Maddysen will be 6 years this next month on the 19th! wow...we got word yesterday that the flights home for Kevin are being arranged...and word has it he will be HOME...RIGHT HERE...a week from tommorrow (saturday!!!)...I can't say it seems like yesterday that he left...seems more like we are living in two worlds...the one that drags on and on until his return and the one zipping slipping by where the kids have grown so much...

Sunday is the big flea market and i have my list of things to look for but i always keep an open mind. because you NEVER know what will be offered...that can be transformed into something else.

I received some beautiful artwork this week....I'm just in awe of all the different techniques that make us each the same but individually unique! Did some photos as well....

Well off for a new adventure today and who knows where it will lead to...

give yourselves HUGZ and til next time.................................

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY....AND SHOPPING..

BIG HUGZ

BATHING IN YELLOW RIBBON...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

We spent 7 hours at the zoo yesterday! Then i received 4 bolts of ribbon to make wired bows...to tie onto the fences for when the guys come home from iraq! that means IT'S COMING SOOOOOON! less than a month! We won't even discuss the RUMORS...going around...it will shadow the happy homecoming!

and and and...I GOT TO FEED A GIRAFFE AT THE ZOO! I LOVE GIRAFFES! MY FAV ANIMAL! maybe it's because in my "old age" i'm shrinking (per my son) and they stand sooo tall and are sooo elegant!

well i made 44 ribbon bows last nite...thinking if i work at them each nite...they will be done in a couple days!

THINKING OF YOU ALL!

HUGZ
