Grass

Grass is about to take over my life. We have had plenty of rain this spring and summer and from what I can see - we've also had a bumper crop in grass seed. I seem to be in a never ending cycle of pulling grass from my flower beds, then I go to garden (mind you the flower beds are not yet even close to being grass free) to pull grass out of the green beans, onions, etc., etc., etc., THEN back to the flower beds so I can keep chipping away at them. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. And, if that's not enough, the weather has gotten hot. Not just hot..............hot and muggy.

Sadly, I have no new pictures to post. I meant to have some before this post but it just never happened. It's that grass thing again!

I did actually take a break from the grass pulling. I went to Colorado with my parents, my brother, his wife and their 3 girls. We took my parents Motorhome and had a good trip out and back. We were in Colorado Springs area for a week and had the best time. The girls are 12, 10 and 5. We went somewhere about everyday to do something. The girls were very well behaved and all of us got along just great. My nieces are all just AWESOME!! All 10 of them are such good girls and so much fun to be around. I don't get to see all of them very much - SAD!!!! which just stinks at times.

B and I will be going back to Colorado in September for his other Nephews wedding. Then we plan to go to the 4 corners area and spend a week riding the Trike around there. I'm looking forward to the trip although B will have to step it up a little if he's going to be half as much fun as the girls were on this last trip out.

In my spare time - which there is precious little of - I've been working on some new jewelry pieces. They are a lot different then my past stuff so I hope they go over well. Personally, I think they are awesome. Hope everyong agrees. My mom took some of my pieces to a Gold Wing Rally in Montana recently and attempted to sell some things for me. I guess one of the Rally sponsers asked her why she was pushing my stuff. I'm going to tell her next time someone asks her a question like that she can just tell them she's the Vice President of her daughters non-profit business!

Tomarrow I get to see my niece - Reannan and her friend (my newly adopted niece) Bryanne. They are coming to a swimming party B and I are having. B's daughter and our grandkids are coming as well. It'll be a small gathering but a fun one I'm sure.

Bryanne recently gave us her cat. So now we have 3 cats. Just the one full time indoor still (Desa) but the one (her name is Piper) we got from Bryanne was in the house full time. So now we're trying to teach Piper to be an outside cat. She is doing just wonderful. Almost too wonderful at times, as I get stressed out when I don't see her every few hours and have to go looking for her. She's a really little cat so I worry about something getting her while she's outside. But that's the way it's got to be. I just can not have 2 cats inside. Although I love Desa to death, one is PLENTY.

Guess that's all I know for the time being. I'll try to have so pictures to post next time. Till then..............take care.
