OMG, I am so behind in everything it is just unreal. I need a week off just to re-organize, finish some things up and clean my house. But,,,,,,let's get real..... it ain't gonna happen. I can't take a week off right now and if I did, seriously, just how much house cleaning would I REALLY get done? But it's a nice fantasy.
I only have just a little bit of time this morning to post this. I'm off to Kelley's soon to finish up some work in one of the hallways. One of these days I'll take some pics of all the work I've done there and post them on here. But, not today. Working for Kelley is a lot of fun. She's so young and funny. I really enjoy the time I spend with her and her family.
Pictures today include some new earrings I made, some bunny jewelry I made and then gave to Kelley and her girls and 2 bracelets and a pine needle gourd I made for a reunion in Wisc.
The reunion in June is on the Menominee reservation in Wisconsin. Its the first Robinson decendent reunion. Another reunion this year is the Coopman reunion in Iowa in May but I won't make that one. I'll contribute some things to it as well but haven't picked anything out yet. My sister and niece were in charge of the quilt this year and I'd like to see it when finished as I think it'll be pretty. Lots of butterflys.
B's birthday was last month. On the 14th actually. He turned 53. A niece has a birthday on the same day - she turned 13. For reasons I won't vent about on here I didn't share in her celebration. I did think about her and hope she had a good day. Anyways, B got a GPS from the girls and I which he liked a lot. As he gets older, I find it harder to buy things he really likes. Anyone else have this problem? His kids and Emma were home for the day which was nice. They all got to do a little fishing. Glad the weather cooperated for them.
On the day of B's birthday, wouldn't ya just know it but some Jehovah's Witness's showed up. I wasn't home at the time but him and the girls told me about it later. Not a surprise to find out that the adults sat in the car and sent two young boys to the door. Well, as much as I hate the Jehovah's Witnesses, B hates them 10x's more. But, he kept his temper because they were just boys and told them to go back to the car and tell their parents not to stop here again. I asked him why he didn't march down to that car and read them *&%$* parents the riot act and he said it was cuz he didn't think of it at the time. Damn cult.........
Back to something more cheerful. I'm back to working at the greenhouse part time. I've cut back my hours this year to only working one night a week. However, I've taken on a couple of landscaping jobs so there's goes the time I gained by cutting back on greenhouse hours. Luckily, one is just a plan to work on. The other may involve some physical labor but am not sure when it might start. I got a new laptop so I can put the landscape stuff on it and take it with me when I go out. Very nice. Speaking of the laptop..... with our tax refund, B got a new trailer for the Trike and I got the laptop. Which just about took all of the refund. I'm still looking for some cycle boots but have had no luck whatsoever in finding any. I'll keep looking.
Suppose to get our waterfall installed this spring. Have talked to someone about putting it in for us as I've come to realize B and I will never get it in. Have had the parts for almost 5 years now.....it's time it got done. We have also decided we will try to find someone to build the West deck for us this summer. It's a job we could do ourselves but just don't want to. That's what savings accounts are for - right?
Till next time,
