PRETTY GOOD WEEK

We had a pretty good week around here last week. Grandma was here for awhile so I got "out" of the house A.L.O.N.E. Hopped in my truck with the tunes just a blastin'....singing my little heart out. Sounding a little like Dolly with a bit of Trace Adkins mixed in for good measure. LOL

First stop - shoe shopping. I had my eye on a strappy little number with a 3" heel. ROFL In another life maybe...
Actually, I hit the hardware store....pockets loaded with gift cards that needed redeeming. I bought 4 more cases of canning jars, new oven mitts, some mini bread pans, cheese cloth, big honkin' cheese grater and one of those stick blender thingies so I can puree soups right in the pot. 1 1/2 hrs later, I was back in the yard (still singing), done with my adventure and ready to pull the draw bridge back up.

The weather was mighty fine here all week too. Could NOT get the kids off the swings!!




Friday night we took the girls to a farm to JUST HAVE A LOOK.....lol


Introducing Jasmine and Kailyn:

Look at those little faces....aren't they sweet?! They can come home in 11 sleeps! I can't wait....I mean, the kids can't wait. hehe

  2. You seemed pretty happy as you were leaving the place Cath. I was kinda in suspence to see if you were actually going to return home again. But I knew would. Three inch heels? Those would work real good to punch holes in the ground for seeding the garden, would'nt they? The kids look pretty happy, I'll bet thats going to be a long 11 sleeps.

  3. Puppies and kids...all you need to add is a photographer. :) I love Dolly..you'll catch me singing "stumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition and yawn and stretch and try to come to life!" pretty much every morning. Not sure if those are the exact words to her song but they are to mine!

  4. Morning 2 Tramps! The breeder advised us to get one to start unless you're the sort of person who ISN'T a push-over. You need to be in charge and let those pups know it. Ummmmm, okay, I'll show them who's boss - in week 2! LOL

  5. Hey Mark! You made me snort my coffee!! LOL Those heels would work terrific in the garden...good plan! And if they were mired in the dirt, I actually could stand up in them. Are you planting anything this year or are you going to be too busy building?
    Hey are you anywhere near Red Deer? My sister has a conference to go to this week...you know, just asking!! Like I said, you'd make a mighty fine brother-in-law! hehehe

  6. Hey Penny! That was a great rendition!!!
    And yes, I need a photographer...but I'll never be able to afford you! LOL
    By the way, did you order up a surf board and ziploc bags yet? I think you could give that guy a run for his money...

  8. Hey Tony! Yup, 2 sweet little fluff balls. We have a border collie now who will turn 12 in May so we thought we'd better get the little ones under her wing NOW. She's been such a good ole dog and will definitely show them how to behave.
    As for those 2 little girls...holy moly, you just blink and they grow.
    Thanks for stopping in.
    See yah too!
