It's been quite an exciting week.

I wrecked the truck Monday night after work. As you can see the front end doesn't look terribly bad, but the estimate is $4200.00 to fix it. Problem being I had a 500 lb cast iron stove and a bunch of wood in the back. That darn stove slammed into the cab of the truck, bending the bed and cab. That's the expensive part... And don't you know I was talented enough to hit a truck with a big badass hitch on it, who rearended a mini van. Got a hefty ticket too.



Cody is flying solo this spring. No more sissy training wheels. He is doing pretty good on his own...





I rushed home Tuesday night to meet the tow truck driver. As soon as I opened the car door I knew I was in trouble. As I started across the driveway I saw him. He was standing on the sidewalk waiting for me, acting nonchelant, like he didn't notice I was there. I paniced and dialed Joe with my cell phone. I knew he had beat me home, and could come to my rescue. But he wasn't answering.... As my intruder walked up to the door and stood in the doorway, barring my entry. Now what? I tried Joe again, and finally he answered. He suggested I sneak around and come in the front door, so I did. But I still had to get rid of my stalker...
I finally had to take the broom and push, poke and herd him out away from the house. He was very resistant, but didn't spray me. I went in and got my gun to shoot him, but he must have sensed I meant business. When I came back out he was gone. Smart skunk!


Thanks to inspiration from surfing the internet, I have begun making found object dragonflies. Here are pics of a couple I have recently made out of ANTIQUE chair legs, porch railings, insulator hangers, and chair spindles.

Slacker.....

I've been a major slacker at updating this blog the last month. I normally don't feel I have much to say, of interest to most of the world, or I'm busy, or exhausted, and just can't get into it...
Hubby and I have been sick all weekend. Kaylee was sick all last week, as were Rachel and Joe. I am so ready for warm weather so we can get outside more, and stop sharing all our germs.

I just wanted to post quick to let everyone know I'm still alive, but this won't be a real post. Maybe in a few days.

Be safe.

He gets his good looks, and his coordination from his Granny

My poor little man..... he was running at daycare on Monday and tripped over his own feet. The table jumped out and smashed into his head. He has 8 stiches and a very sore eye. He was worried about the scar but I told him I have all kinds of scars. I told him it is his first of many if he is as graceful as his Granny.
