I HATE CANCER!!!

I hate it, I really do...   A very dear friend, father, christian  is with our Lord right now, in Paradise, where there is no pain, no fear...just peace and calm and our Lords loving arms wrapped around him.  It's great for dear Bill, but I am just so mad at this disease...there are beautiful children and an amazing wife left behind.  Kids that have to grow up without there father's wonderful energy and good teaching.  A little girl who is the same age as I was when my dad died.  I know what my mom struggled with and know Anne will be going through the same things...It's just so hard when you know someone you admire so much will have to go on without her love and helper in life.  I know Bill is in a good place, like my dad and Gerry my fil...but damn it...  Hug your kids, tell them how much you love them...give them those words of wisdom that you want them to know...You never know when the good Lord will need you with Him.  Bill will add some excitement to heaven and will be rarin' to go to work...so keep an eye out for our newest angel in heaven

Here is one of my very first scrapbook pages, years ago, when Christian was their only child...Big Bend...we had the best of times!

Labor Day

Ashley and I had a chance to escape to the lake Sunday afternoon. Mom and Donald were there. Monte, Stacy, and the kids were there. It was great sitting in the dock drinking Lone Star Lite longnecks and visiting. Of course there were a million boats zooming around, rocking the dock in every direction but it was still good. Monte grilled burgers and we had birthday cake to celebrate Donald's birthday. Later Michael and Sean came up after a day of dove hunting at the farm. We spent the night and the weather was nice for sleeping on the porch. Today we tie-dyed tee shirts. Fun fun fun! Heading back after we eat so we'll be ready for school and work tomorrow.

A little color in this desert...

Hot and dry. Would love for some rain to come our way. We have one stray cosmos holding on...


I've done a bit of spinning , searched my stash for my 2 bumps of Funhouse Falkland wool from David. http://www.etsy.com/shop/comeinspinner The colors are looking beautiful, he's very talented with color and can't wait for the wonderful surprise after spinning and plying. Amy of spunky eclectic is starting a stash down tomorrow the 1st. I plan on takin her up on that. This is going on in her Spunky Club Ravelry group. http://www.spunkyeclectic.com

another monday

Another week has begun. I'm at the store this morning trying to figure out what's up with the computer, the phone, and what needs to be ordered. I got the register working. That is good. Figured out which phone was working, that is also a good thing. Now if we can get all the lines changes over that will be even better! It is time for hunters to buy new licenses and thankfully the new rule books came in. So I think I'm set now.
I watched Shutter Island the other day, very different movie...but I enjoyed it lol they had me convinced! I have the movie Amelia on now while I'm puttering around the liquor store. Very good so far! I love Netflix. Don't know what I'd do without it. Especially the watch immediately in my computer! Anywho enough is enough. See ya later

Finished object and cal

I'm going to join in on the Bernat CAL that is starting on sept 22.
I'll probably go through my stash and knit in wool. It is supposed to start out simple and get more difficult as it goes. I love learning new stitches in both knitting and crochet so I think it will be fun. If you want to join in go to http://blog.bernat.com
Wonder what I have to work with.
My finished garden stake from the painted plate. Love the way it turned out!
