I'm so sorry...
I finally got my photos all cropped, ready to go, and was just about to start doing some posting when Matt came home from school today with very bad news. The eight year old brother of one of the boys in my Outdoor Ed group was hit by a car and killed on Saturday. Joey (the brother) and two other boys Matt goes to school with witnessed the accident. The world has stopped turning, for the moment for us, for them...who knows. So sorry to do this but I felt the need to share. Please keep Joey, The Anastasi family and friends, and the other children effected by this in your thoughts and prayers. He was Vincent, Vinny, Anastasi and he's the one who is in the bossom of his Savior, happier than any of us can imagine. We, however, are trying to catch our breath. Might I suggest listening to When The Saints Go Marchin' In, Superman, and This Too Shall Pass?

Whewwwwwwwwwwwww!
Okay, so the rundown on the last really long week was birthday party on Saturday followed immediately with swimming at the community pool the rest of the day. Soon after, Momma's gettin' ready for Strawberry Days at The Pink Cabbage.
And somehow during the time I'm trying to get all these things ready I find time to paint the front doors AGAIN. They were so week-before-last. I really heart them this time.
It had been even too much color for me. Maybe I'll go back to it in the fall when we need color more but for now I'm happy with Honey Dew.
And pretending to catch fish is all I had time for but the vignette changes a little each day. It relaxes me to play with my porch and flowers.
Even some items that couldn't fit in the new, much smaller (ha!) Doojies have to be put to use whenever possible like the planter lamp on the porch.
Voila!!!! Here is my-from-over 100-square feet-space-to-my-10-square foot property!
Several folks have been very complimentary on how it looks. This was in one day. Out of big space, into new space, garage full, check, full circle. I did press Fran and when I asked her if it looked like it had been vandalized she giggled. I'll work on it when I get back from...
...Outdoor Ed. Three days of camping with the sixth graders from Matt's school starting tomorrow. Camping in screened in cabins, now that is what I call camping; I can't wait...
...I think it's been two weeks since I had a day off and a week since I've had a night or day off so this is probably what we should expect to see late Friday...
But, when I get back I'll have not only party pics from the camp out but I'll share pics from the last week. You're eyes will be rolling soon on...love and safety to all until then-S
Oh boy, was it fun! And very successful! We are proud to support The American Cancer Society and that our customers do too!
Fab foodies too!!!!
