Savannah & Jonas' Big Day Out

I took both cages outside....put a little fence around them and let them out...Savannah the trouble maker wanted the BIG world and tried her best to get out...Jonas on the other hand had reservations about the whole thing. I scrubbed the floors and was able to get all the bunny debries cleaned up as well as arrange furniture around. You know that it never looks the same from one month to the other around here...A gemini thing!...

And Wa-La .....

Finished! I'm finally finished with the Princesses room....I feel bad that it took a whopping two days... In my defense it was cuz the chandelier did not come till Tuesday. And we still had not shopped for a few last moment things. Getting enough time for both Ang and I can be a challenge. Anyway I read that the room was a huge hit and that we will start on the oldest sons room soon...I already have the right paint for his walls and some other treasures that have been in the barn for some time ....

I beat the traffic as I flew out the door and made it home just in time for Flash and his little brother to work on a few things for two hours...It was a great help. All the plants that were next to the house and in the two foot wide beds have been moved and most of the items on the concrete patio area have been removed as well. I will hose the mess down and then we will be ready for Bruno and I to do our three deck making stunt...

I spoke to Mum and the planned Friday supper for my sister was settled and I would finally get to see her for a few hours and hear her stories of Iraq!

My Friend Liz is struggling about the rescue horse " Buddy " as his health is up and down and she may have to put him down...He is a mini and the sweetest thing...So keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

I'm taking the bunnies outside today for the first time....It will be warm enough for them and then I can scrub the cages so be spotless.

I hooked up one of those retractable laundry line and it being made in China lasted all of ten minutes before it unknoted itself and I resorted to two eye hooks instead. So much for my $7.00 solution. I did manage to save the $16.00 that I spent last week on the stupid dryers at the laundry mat. I too discovered that the washers are poor at best...mud still on the knees of both pairs of pants. I do love the freshness of laundry dried in the sun....YAHOO!!!

Brunos best friend is in town from the Delta and I have asked Bruno to take a few of his days off to spend with Bondo. If it wasn't for the fact that we are building a deck I'd say spend 4 days there...I know what will happen...beer, wine and food including the beloved bread that only can come from Anjou bakery!!!I hope you both have a great time....

Well kids I've put it off long enough....tons of work awaits me and I have yet to even get socks on...Be well everyone.Hope the day is perfect...I HAVE SUNSHINE ALL OVER ALREADY!!! And each and every window will be tossed opened until it gets cold....Love you all...

My poor hands, back and feet....


I spent the entire day digging up the patio areas garden....I never did like wearing gloves (regrettably) and now I indeed am paying for it...even the nail scrubber did not get all the black dirt from my hands. I transplanted all them just fine, the lavender may or may not make it. The huge California lilac is about to bloom and I worry that she will suffer. I soaked here with some jump start and will dig her up today and pray that it is not to late in the year to do such things.

I will scrub with garden scrubber soap before I leave today to go hang the chandelier and then off to the other house to finish up.

What I really want to do is work on another series of "see - thru" necklaces....like the one above. Mom & I had created several items on her new printer and I just can't wait to do a couple of them done...

Bondo is on a road trip heading North and has requested Brunos presents at the shack and I told Bruno to go and visit with his friend. I am thinking one day is not enough for them and will tell Bruno to stay a couple of days....Bondo will then hopefully come out to our place for a stop over on his return to California..

No plans for the week other then the deck...The last one Bruno and I knocked out in record time. We work very well together and I think we will do this one in three days or less.

Well kids that is it for now I have so much to do and I still do not have the kitchen all fixed from the wreck....I did get the frame for the blinds put back up and cleaned but now it looks snowy white while the rest have kitchen dust on them...I should think that id Bruno stays up with Bondo till Monday he can recover with rest and food and I can have two extras days to clean.

Silent Sunday so far....

And only because I have shut the ringers off the phones. Life HAS BEEN pretty hectic around here and one can only hope to find peace and sleep minus stress...Who knows if that is even possible at this point. On top of that my sister is suppose to be in from Iraq but I have not heard if she arrived as of yet.

And the good news is that by beloved Bruno has managed to get a FULL WEEK OFF!!! That is my Birthday present!!! No, we are not going any place, he will try to recover from all the stress and the workaholic damage for a few days then we will build another deck off the back kitchen door. I know that does not sound like a break to most of you all, but we really do work well together and usually have a good time building things together. And I get to MAKE FOOD FOR HIM!!!!Yahoo. One of the things I miss most about him being gone.

Well I did go to Ang's yesterday and we put a bed together and got most of oldest bedroom done. I still have a few things to get out of the barn and a last minute thing or two.

Okay that is it in a nut shell...

I am hoping to get some things done around here before I leave for a few hours to finish another house out in Lake Stevens!!!It will all be done today. okay it is now time for me to go...Be well and yes I read every bodies blog....
