Although today was not necessarily a Happy Day
I did receive some "Happy" Mail

 I have created and ordered a couple of these Memory Boxes
 The first one I received was for my MIL
This one I will keep
And fill with some of the treasured items I received after Mark passed
 I plan on placing all of the cards, letters and printed emails in it
As well as a few other precious items
Like my favorite photos
PaperCoterie is definitely
A place I am learning to LOVE to shop!!

It looks like we may be in for
A little Stormy Weather tonight

 But
Certainly not like what the East Coast
Is preparing for


Praying for all of our
East Coast Friends

I LOVE Happy Mail Days
And Today was a Perfect One

Last week I ordered a memory box for my MIL
I plan to put a few select items in it
And send it to her for Christmas
I'm sure she will add some special treasures of her own

Well...
It arrived today


It's hard to tell from these photos
But the box is about 9x13
And will hold many pictures
As well as lots of other treasures

I like it so much
That I will be going on-line tonight
And ordering one for myself

Today
It has been 8 months
Since I lost my precious Mark
It's been a tough day...

Getting ready for the weekend
I cannot remember the last weekend
When I didn't have plans outside the house

So,
Saturday I will be heading to Home Depot
To purchase


Some more of this
So I can finish a few projects
I LOVE this Dark Truffle


And stuff to put in these
We have WAY TOO many BUGS
Around this house
And I am freakin' out!!!

I also plan on taking a meal
To a friend who had surgery last week

And maybe spending some time with my
Granddaughters on Sunday
That always makes me Smile :)

What about you?
What are you doing this Weekend?

HONESTLY

NO
I DID
NOT
TAKE
THIS
PHOTO



However,
Coming home from a long day
And hearng that the boys
found one of these
by the pool today
Does NOT make this Momma happy

SO
This weekend I will be dawning
My
"Have No Fear Armor"
And Spraying
EVERYTHING
In and Near my home

I suppose when you don't take care of those things
For a year
Well...

Let The Sorting Begin


I finally had all of my photos
From my trip to California
Copied and placed on CD's

I ordered several copies of each photo
Now I just have to sort them all
And prepare them for their final destinations

A long night ahead
I Do Believe!!!

Just as I was getting ready for a quiet evening
These precious people
Stopped by for a swim

I'm so blessed
To have my kiddos live in the
Same neighborhood as I do

While searching for a few items
I needed to give myself a pedicure

I realized that I might just have
An obsession with
Make~up brushes




I think I was better off
When they weren't all in one place

Too bad I left my Kabuki Brush
At a resort last year
Never could afford to replace that one

Oh My
Do they have counseling
For this sort of thing

Today's Photos come from our little
Trip to California two weeks ago

We stopped at the World's Biggest
Dinosaur (museum) of sorts

It's just outside of the Palm Springs
Palm Desert area
And a perfect place for a
Quick break on a very long trip




And besides:
It's right next door to the
Brighton Outlet Store
And you know This Girl
Wouldn't pass up that place

Here's to a Super Week

GIRLS JUST GOTTA HAVE FUN

In these intense and sometimes long
Work days
As we prepare to upgrade our
EMR system

Some days you just
Need to take a minute to laugh

My employer and I had just
One of those moments yesterday

She is in the last days of her
Mini mouth restoration  
And I am in the first weeks
Of my Major Mouth Renovation

We wanted to get a quick
Photo before her braces come off
Next week




Because I have clear brackets on the top
She didn't think anybody could see
Enough of my metal mouth

Let's just say this turned into
A comedy of Sillies

SMILE :)

Hi Photo Peeps :)

I just don't know how this happens...

You leave town for a few days
Your desk is completely cleared off
You arrive back home
And find this...


Are there mail fairies in AZ??

I guess we all know what I will be doing tonight!!!

At least I got a license plate for my new car:)

Have a great one!

This week I will share just a few photos
From my trip to visit with my MIL

Here I am with her (Liz)
On the last day of my trip

It was so wonderful to share
Some precious time together
