Work in Progress

I used to be a painter, and I still really miss it sometimes. I just don’t have time to do all that I’d like to. I’ve had a piece in my head for a while, so I decided to do something in watercolor style on fabric. There’s still much to add before this piece is finished. [...]

Odd and Ends

As I posted a while back, my husband bought me containers so that I could plant a few things in my yard and not have to worry about the dogs digging in everything. It’s also much easier on the back! I found a vegetable, which excited me terribly!  LOL.  Yes, I’m easily amused!

Having a party in Scappoose, Oregon!

I thought I’d report in on the party that we’re having at the home of Carie Shields in Scappoose, Oregon! I know that some of you are sitting on pins and needles, just waiting for the report! LOL.  NOT!  With the help of Carie’s wonderful husband, Jim, we got everything set up last night. We [...]

Fun Prezzies!

Before I left for San Diego, I got a couple of suprizes in the mail. Susan Italo knew that I could use a smile, so she picked up a little funky something for me. She sent me these flamingo socks from the Wild Animal Park in Southern California. I now have happy feet! LOL

We just returned from 10 days in San Diego for a baseball tournament.  This was our 4th summer with this team, so we know the other families very well. We always look forward to spending time with friends while the boys all hang out together. We played several games at San Diego State University. Tony [...]
