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

From PaperCoterie

 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?

08.18.2011

Oh

The Exciting Life of a Widow

Yup!

I'm watching football

Have Mercy!!

08.17.2011

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!!!

08.15.2011

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

08.09.2011

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

08.07.2011

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

Cindy

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
