Another two weeks go by...

I have let another two weeks almost slip by before I

post again, boy time is really getting

away from me!
Well, alot has gone on. I have gotten into
our local homecoming festivities, in the planning
stages, and sooo excited about what is to come,
that I kinda forgot to get my camera out.
(Will post more next time about our

Homecoming Celebration.)

So I decided, I would share with you some
of the pics we took on our way to California
to take Sam to her new home.

This pic is of Greensburg Ks where everything
is being built Green.

The house is being built from Styrofoam.
We watched them cut the windows out
with a knife. Hmmm.....
Here
is a bridge we passed still in Kansas

Kansas has its own type of electrical poles...

here is California's style...
makes you think.

Now for some scenic pis...
of someday I may be inspired to paint

clouds that fascinated me,

mountains and shrubs, and more clouds,
mountains,
sunsets,
this one is from behind us as we drive,

the purple in the clouds,

some more sunsets,

this time with the moon,

the overpasses, in Arizona

the tunnels,

some up close shrubbery,

the checkpoint coming into CA

we had to declare if we had

any fruits or houseplants.
Which we couldn't take in
if we did. (We didn't have any thou)

and this adorable little boy
playing with his tractor along side
the highway. LOVED THIS!!

(Is it memorex or is it live?)

Hope you enjoyed the tour.

Also don't forget to SMILE... You will get on in return!!!

Owe everyone BIG apology for long sabbatical

Hello All,

I owe everyone big apology, I have taken a super long sabbatical.

Alot has gone on since I was last here. I went to and got back from California
Went to Texas and came back, took alot of painted items down there, and sold them all!! :D (Or gave them as gifts to my cousins, and her best friend!)

Here are some of them I sold.

Here are some I gave to my cousins...

this one is a cousin that is into endurance racing, and her
husband is into motorcycles and repairs. Here she is...

the second on is for another cousins husband who belongs
to Boozefighters. Here she is with her dog... lol.

This is her garage that I painted three flags on.

There is a story about painting this Texas flag upside

down... long story short... neighbor caught it before I did...

lol. O well it is fixed now!! :D

These two belong to cousin and her best friend,
these are front and back!! :D

This one is mine... practice for the horses!! :D
Love it btw...

Speaking of horses... I loved riding this one!!
Such a sweetheart he was!! :D

Next I worked on some things for Christmas...
and have been for the months to follow...
until now... lol Here are some I have done...

Stockings... front door, stockings to hang on walls, stockings to give away...

snowmen candle holders for the daughters...

So now you know a little bit of what I have been up to in the last several months.
Oh, some really good news that I should have posted first... daughter that just got married... she is expecting her first child in Nov.!!! :D YEAH!!!

Also don't forget to SMILE... You will get on in return!!!

Going to California!! And got pics back from wedding!

Sometimes all you have to do to set things right
is say those three magic words, "I was wrong."
A new love is very delicate. Handle it with caring!

I would like to apologize for not posting this last week,
as I have been helping Samantha get ready to move
to California! And now I will not be able to post for a few
days...as we are ready to move her out there this week.
I get to go see where my baby will be living!!
We are hauling hers and hubby's stuff out to their new
home. I will take lots of pics and let you know
about our trip! (My first trip west!!!)

I am so tickled we got the pics back from
Samantha's wedding! So without further ado,
here we go...
This is the bride sitting with her maid of honor
on her lap, (her sister!!) and three bridesmaids.
L to R Tara, Kayla, Kylie, Samantha, Scoti.

This is both of my very LOVELY
daughters!! Samantha, and Scoti!
(Can a mom be more proud, I don't
think so!!) :D :D

Now in an earlier post I told you about
my daughter's cake, this is how she sees
the bride getting the groom to the alter!
I hope everyone enjoys the fun of this as
much as I do, and no one takes offense.

right finger!! (Sweet! Got a big chuckle
out of the crowd!!) :D
