oopsy

I owe a blogger friend $10.00 and haven't sent it yet. My head isn't on straight these days. It will be in the mail by Monday...really it will.

Join me in my Official Glitter Toe Day...7-26-08

Glitter toes in Sedona.Violette posted a pic of her freshly painted glitter toes and a pic of her mom's flower toes, so I thought why not have a Glitter Toe Day where we all paint our toes and post pics of them!
Saturday July 26 is going to be that day.
So, if you'd like to play along just post a pic of your freshly or not so freshly painted toes on Sat the 26th.
I can't wait!

A fun 4th

The daughter and her fella.

Our hosts...the three B's...

My boy.

Happy 4th of July!

Have fun in the sun, or in our case under the clouds!

Forgot the pie

We had a caramel apple pie served to us as well at our Sunday barbque.
Katie insisted that I report that.
Yumm.

I sure don't like pictures of myself, but here we are. I definitely have my dads face and nose. Then again, I look like my mom and grandma on both sides. Thank goodness the kids take after their dads family with the body shape!
I HAVE to lose weight or at least lose enough to feel better. My dad died from congestive heart failure and it is possible for me to have it since he did. He was always after me to shape up. I just thought he was mean, but I think he was worried. He never told me about the congestive heart failure all the years he had it. I only found out a short time before he died. I took him to the heart doctor and he fell and broke a rib outside the door, then we went to the emergency room where the told me he'd had a stroke at some point. He got pneumonia and never really recovered, so a visit to the hospital was next on the list and while there, the hospital doc gave him hours to live. Well, a week later, I moved in with him. Hospice came and helped out, then a little over a month later, he passed on.
It wasn't until he was in the hospital that I found out about the CHF. He didn't want to worry us, so he never told us. He left here in July of 2006...
Well, before I start feeling bad, I'll move on to the next photo.
That's big Mr. B and the little B. Lov "em.

Friends and Family time

On Sunday we went to our friends home for a barbque.
I say friends, however, they are more like family.

This is my daughter with Steve. He has been our friend , well since high school days...a long time ago. He's actually my best friend. When he and Maria were married, I was his best man...or woman...anyway, he is family. I don't have a close up of his wife, but shes in the next picture in blue...well her head is anyway. :) Oh and his kid is with the long hair. Marias best friend and our friend, she's in the pic as well.

Here is the friendliest of the family...Inka. Whatta guy!

This is their bamboo "garden" with a kiwi vine beside it...so crazy! Look at it grow!
It's fun.

Have a wonderful sunny summer day!

I won, I won , I won!

How exciting it is to have won a fabulous prize from Michelle at Faerie Dust Dreams! I love to visit her blog, so you might want to pop over yourself and give it a look.
I saw the email from her in my inbox and at first figured it was spam...me win something?...doesn't happen... but I won!
I am giddy with excitement!!!
Yee haw!

Happy Thursday to you!

I've been playing around with polymer clay again. I made a few of these ladies, but I broke one.
I think next time I won't roll the cane so many times. i used about eight colors, but with rolling it so many times, you ccan't see them all. Oh well, lesson learned.here she is from behind. Her tails a bit big at the end...another of those lessons.

Oh here is my pal scratch out roaming out in the field before it was cut down.

Here he is patrolling the property for us. He likes to keep an eye on the vehicles.

Buttercups...so pretty before the field was cut.

Have a Buttercup kinda day!

Happy Saturday!

These are my porch greeters.
Very appropriate for life on the pond wouldn't you say?

Friday warmth

It's warm enough to sweat around here today, no bright sun, but that's fine since it's still a beautiful day.I made a birds nest charm. I see them around blogland and had to make one, then two, then three...

My lumpalicious buddy Logan is enjoying the day. Gotta love the rocks. He rolls and rolls and does his shedding on the rocks! It's great.This is pretty miss Crazy Cat. She's all that and a bowl of nuts. She's sweet when she's not getting spooked and flying across you scratching her way out of the place!

I like this flower. Don't know what it is, but I like it. It's a plant I inherited from my Mom's place.

I've had a headache and sore face on the left side with my gums not feeling good. Last night I laid in bed and was starting to feel better and rolled over , then BOOM! I pulled my bedside lamp off onto my left eyebrow. Now it is a bit puffy and hurts still this afternoon.
Did I ever mention that I'm a klutz? well, I am!
Oh and a few posts back I mentioned a man, Tom Hunter, and that he had CJD? Well, he lost his battle with the illness this morning around 3:30am and passed on. He will be missed by many.
Enjoy life and all it brings your way.
