Memorial Day Week-End May 22, 2009

We went to Pagosa Springs, Colorado for the week-end. Of Course, we had to spend the week-end cleaning the cabin to get it ready to rent out for the summer. But it was still so beautiful. It was misty all week-end. Nice and cool. Yesterday morning fog was covering the mountain so it was beautiful. I know now why Colorado is called "God's Country", it is certainly beautiful. The San Jaun River is in front of the cabin and it was out of its banks. they have had record rain this year. Which is wonderful for us, so we do not have to worry about fire dangers. Just wanted to share this beauty with you. More later.

Busy Times in May!

It has been really hot here and dry. We went to Del Rio over the week-end so I had a chance to cut out card stock for my Christmas Card Stamp Camp on May 30th and get my cute project cut out and ready for Stamp Camp & Stamp Club on June 6, 2009. That project is really cute. It is a bag with 4 different cards using the Friendly Words Jumbo Wheel. I think everyone will like it.

It has been busy as usual. Andy finished his texturing and painting in his room , put his new Murphy Bed set in and it is beautiful. He is so proud. As soon as he gets all of his tools out of there, I'll post pictures. He plans to start on the other bedroom with texturing and painting. Not sure if we will buy another Murphy Bed set for it or not. They are really expensive but so much more room and storage. So we will see. I have been working in my building...don't laugh..re-doing stuff again. I am going through all of my plastic drawers trying to clean each one out so I know what I have and where it is. So every afternoon when I get home from work, I am out there working. I really can't call it work, it is my therapy..I love it.

We will leave on Friday for Pagosa Springs, Colorado for the week-end to clean up the cabin for the June renters. So I will be exhausted when we get back. But since I have lost 10 pounds it will be a little easier to go up and down the three flights of stairs. I have been pretty faithful on my diet, it seems the last couple of days I am really starting to drop. I was on a plateau for 2 weeks and it almost drove me crazy. But now I am back to losing again. I want to lose quite a bit before Whitney's wedding in October. So I am really trying, walking on treadmill, drinking lots of water(which I hate), eating vegatables (which I also don't care much for), but I am determined I am losing and not gaining it back. (right)!

The sad news is ...we had to lay Jamie off at work..BooHoo!!! I enjoyed having her so much but it is really slow so we have to cut back..I know she will get another job before she leaves for college. She is bright and very hard worker. She is an asset to any company. Will miss her so much.

Guess I better get busy before I get laid off..Not a chance!!! He loves me too much.lol

May Showers (hopefully)

Hopefully, May will bring us some of the needed rain that Texas so desperately needs. It is so dry here. Had a really great time at the National Scrapbooking week-end on May 1st and 2nd. Made lots of cards and not much scrapbooking, but we had fun. Been making Mother's and Father's Day cards and they are so pretty. I am finally caught up on sending my birthday cards out. I vow to never get 3 months behind again. I am making about 40 identical birthday cards so I can be ready every month. Not much going on here, just staying really busy. Will put some pictures up tomorrow. later!
