Surgery, Haircut, & Fabric Stash

Raeanne had her ears drained and tubes put in today. She is doing OK. I had this done when I was 6... I think... MOM!!! was I 6? Well, she is soon to be 28, this April. After I heard she was out of surgery, I hit the Haircutting place... I had about 6" cut off. I get home and DH didn't even notice... Is something wrong with my man? He can't find stuff and doesn't notice short hair on his long haired wife ! LOL I think he is overworked... Yeah, That's It !!! The man has been home since 12:30 pm and has been asleep since then. It is now 10:15 central and I been cleaning out that front craft room. I Did It !!!! It is done to the best of my ability.... and that is the best it is going to look. Still no closet doors.... urghhh
I did go to Hancock Fabrics after haircut and got some fabric to finish pin keeps and pillows. Got some big wide Rick Rack, eyelets & punch to make floss ring tags. I also ended up at Hobby Lobby.. I love that store !! I will try to post pictures of fabric and maybe some finishes tomorrow. I told Raeanne and babies we may go to target this weekend to do some Easter shopping. Till Later....

The Million Dollar Question

The million dollar question was asked this past weekend. DH asked " Do you know where my hammer is?" I did not answer because I am so tried of looking for all his tools and other misplaced things. I think men have a gene that makes them ask where something is, instead of looking. If they do look, it has to be able to jump out and say " Here I am !!! " He will open the cabinet and say, " Are we out of Whatever?" My response " No, move stuff around it is in there."


Why is it they are that way? My dad did the same thing... and I married a man that can't find anything without asking where it is. Well... yesterday I was looking around the sun room ( junk room) to see what needs to go down to the shed. Ok... guess what I found? You are right!!! A hammer, not just 1 hammer but 2 hammers!!! lol In a box right beside the door from the dinning area.. Here is a picture of the proof they do exist ! LOL

Ok.. I see that they are in my post office mail carry box. It says for mail use only. I know that this is not mail use... LOL DH may have seen it empty and decided he would use it. Anyway, there is the answer to the million dollar question... This is only 2 hammers in our collection of at least 10. Where are the others??? I have no idea !

I will give DH some credit... If your sun room looked like this, could you find anything?



This is just one end of the room. We are enlarging this room and putting new windows in. All the stuff we are doing this with, was giving to us by a friend. So no cost, other then us doing it ourselves. Here is a little snap of the back, where DH is enlarging.


Please don't pay attention to all the mess. I go around each weekend and pick up about a trailer behind lawnmower full of Crap !!! A Work In Progress !!! Well I will leave you now with these crappy pictures... Hopefully I have not lost my great blogger friends over all that junky-ness ! Is there a group for people that have problems with not finishing jobs. I need to sign up DH. We can form one. Hubby's Half Ass & Not Finished Yet jobs. ( HHANF for short )

Now to get dressed and go to the Porch Bubble Party at Joshua & Zoe's House. I made the Funfetti cake. !!! Whoooo Hooo Till Later....

It's A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood


I want to thank all ya'll who read my blog. It is something fun that I like to do. I also love reading other blogs, as you can see from my sidebar. This afternoon I have Josh. We have rode the lawnmower at least 20 times around the neighborhood. Here are some pictures of my flowers.




Peonys that are coming up !!!


Lily Of The Valley



These wild violets were all over the yard before I cut the weeds ( aka. grass) this weekend. I left this little patch. We have a big jack rabbit that comes out of the woods beside that fallen tree. I left these for him or her...






Here are some pictures of Josh doing his everyday thing !



That has been my day. I did get some clothes washed and kitchen dishes loaded in dishwasher. Then is was outside to enjoy my day. Turn in to tomorrow's blog... When I heard DH say, " Have you seen my Hammer?" ( quote) That is a million dollar question! LOL

Headline Mom who had cancer has to help daughter with yard clean up! I know.. I look Bad !!! But, what can I say... Mom likes to clip bushes !!! lol Raeanne ( dd) says she is having bush and shrub withdraw.. LOL She used to go to Raeanne's house around the corner from her with her clippers in the car. Raeanne said before she knew it, she would be clipping and pulling weeds... Not making fun of you, mom. I appreciate any help I can get !! But it just don't look right. I promise to go to her house and pressure wash patio, under pergola, house, and tidy up her yard !!! When you ask?? uhhhhhh. Just kidding!

What is that in the Sky ?

Why... It is the Sun. I awoke to the phone ringing and the sun a shinning ! LOL It was Josh wanting to know when GiGi was coming to get him and ride the lawn mowing machine.. That is what he calls the lawnmower. LOL This was after he tried to call me himself... He got the message that says, " If you would like to make a call, please hang up and try again." He told his mom when she took the phone away he was talking to GiGi.. LOL Cracks me up !!!! So I had to get dressed. I can't wear those pajamas all day when the sun is shinning!! My norm is to get awoke and wear pajamas all day because what do I do or where do I go? Had to run to the closet and hunt something for a play day. After finally finding sweat pants and a tee shirt ( boy, did I dress up.. lol). I walked across the road to his house. He was watching for me and burst out the door, like a racehorse at the Kentucky Derby. I started the lawnmower and off the went on our drive... He likes to stand in middle between the seat (ME) and steering wheel. He drives... We then mowed his grass ( oh, Weeds) and cut up the leaves.
I was having a good time singing and thinking it is a beautiful day that The Lord has gave us. I will Rejoice and Be Glad in It!!! Looking at the Blue Sky and the birds singing. Just Beautiful!!!
Zoe and her mom came out to the porch and we put Zoe in her walker. Those few Twigs of hair was a blowing in the wind and she was laughing and giggling ! Very happy girl. Loves the outside like her brother. Poppa met us for Bar-B-Q . Everyone was hungry !! All Play and late Supper makes April a Dull Girl !!! LOL So, now time for bed and to raise up early tomorrow. Hubby is on a roll on the sun room enlargement. I will have to help him tomorrow, and I can barely get up after sitting down now.... Hope everyone had a day like I did !!
