Still doing 'Grandma weekend'.  That's all!

I need to stay focused today and get my chores done (which didn't happen the last two days!).  It's going to be a 'Grandma weekend' with both boys.  Woohoo!  Picking them up from school and day care this afternoon and they'll be spending the weekend here while their parents have a weekend out of town for their anniversary!  Win, win for everyone!  

Have a great day!

Photo Sunday - my haul at the Farmer's Market yesterday.  Palisade peaches are the very best and watermelon and cantaloupe from Green River, Utah are my favorites!  Now I just need to pick up some Olathe Sweet Corn and some local tomatoes!  I love fresh summer fruit and vegetables!

No big plans for today except a trip to the grocery store.  I am thinking I might be starting a new project, just have to decide if I am in the mood for that.  It might be a book and nap day!!!

Have a great day!

Saturday quote.....

A bit of 'Grandma time' with Ethan today.  Jeff and Hudson are going to see the new Paw Patrol Movie, soo Ethan and I will hang out  here for awhile.  Before that though I need to run to the Farmers Market up the road for some peaches!  I'm out and I need to feed my habit!  Love the fresh peaches here and have to take advantage while I can!!!!

Enjoy your weekend!

The card - background is done with a strip of patterned paper with an added die cut scallop piece.    The yellow piece across the bottom part is embossed.  The circle is die cut and then stamped with the sentiment and flower.  

The rain certainly cleared the smoky air out of the valley yesterday. Yay! It was so nice, we really needed it.  Going to have to wait to mow my lawn though, it's very wet this morning and it's almost chilly enough to turn on the heat.  (ok, I will resist, but it's hard!!)   I have to get busy in the stamp room, I have to have a calendar topper done by tonight and I haven't even started!  Oops, better get to work!

Have a great day!  

The card - background is patterned paper with some added grunge.  Butterflies are die cut and popped up.  Happy Birthday is stamped directly on the background piece.  

Good news - Ethan's Covid test came back negative.  He can go back to day care starting today!  So glad he is ok!   And maybe I can get back into my routine - ok, maybe that is just a dream!  But, I'll try.  I do have a list of things I need to get done!  Maybe I can get started on that list today!  Or at least this morning.  Looking forward to an afternoon with the knitting/handwork group - yay! - some adult conversation!  

On another note:  if you follow my blog by email you may have received a notice from 'Follow It' asking if you want to continue to receive the emails.  This is legit.  Blogger discontinued use of the old subscriber and I've changed to 'Follow It'.  It's been a bit confusing to say the least and I haven't quite figured it all out yet.  (leave it to me to wait til the last minute)  Hopefully you are still receiving the emails as before with no problem.  Getting it under control is on my 'list' of things to do!!!  

So, now I'm off to start on my list of things to get done!  It's pouring rain at the moment and I think it's supposed to last all day - that may keep me from running errands, but there's plenty to do here anyway!  I'm just so glad for the rain!  We need it so bad.  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - flower is stamped, die cut and then popped up on small die cut matted panel.  Pretty darn easy!

Photo Saturday - (from FB)  just the latest mess from the mudslides in Glenwood Canyon.  This is 

I-70, which of course is closed and has been for several days.  They have no idea when they will be able to open it again.  Because it is the main route from the western slope to the eastern slope of Colorado it is causing a multitude of issues.    

'Grandma time' today.  A fun overnighter last night - dinner out with friends at our favorite local hamburger place and then Hudson and I watched most of the Disney movie Luca.  No big plans for today - the smoke from the California fires is pretty bad here so it's better to be inside than out.  

Have a great day!
