Giving Thanks, Family and Recuperating
I started to write this post last Monday! I still feel a need to catch you all up on everything, so here it is as it was originally written: I can’t believe it’s been over 2 weeks that we’ve been home from Kauai! I spent the first week back recuperating from travel’s strain on my [...]
My 40th
Today is my 40th birthday. I don’t know what 40 is supposed to feel like, but I don’t think I ever expected to feel so young at 40. Of course, many say that 50 is the new 30, so maybe I’m just hitting the new 20? I remember that upon turning 30, I felt different [...]
Stress and Cathartic Creating
The last week has been a stressful one. My father-in-law had a heart attack and needed two stents put in. They live about 40 minutes from us, so we were very involved in making sure he and my mother-in-law were cared for over the past week. My father-in-law is feeling much better and is home. [...]
More sewing, friends, and more!
Well, I am in love. My new Pfaff is JUST AMAZING! I even went out and bought a case at JoAnn’s at half-price, because I know I can’t take Katie Kendrick‘s class at Art Unraveled in two weeks without the NICE machine. I can’t believe I planned to go with the other machine. I don’t [...]
Vacation Continued
I know I said I’d share some photos, but, well, it’s vacation! We had a fabulous time. I’m so lucky, because Dave and I really enjoy time together. We listened to books on our iPods, music, and talked for all the hours we were driving. We shared the driving and stopped frequently for coffee! We [...]
Snowbird, UT
Dave and I are in Snowbird, UT now. We left at 2 am on Friday morning to drive from Phoenix all the way to Snowbird, which is southeast of Salt Lake City. I used to do a lot of travel into UT on a regular basis for my job as publisher of Scrapbooking.com Magazine. It [...]
A week of art and adventure…
I’ve been busy this week. I’m sorry I have neglected my blog. On Monday, my husband had hernia surgery. He’s fine. He’s recovered quickly, and is a fairly easy patient. I’m lucky, as I know many men turn into babies when they are ill. Dave is a trooper, and, though I’ve been helping him frequently, [...]
Catching Up!
Well, it is already Wednesday. it is already June 5th, and I have not yet written since our anniversary celebration. We went to Eddie V’s in Scottsdale on Friday evening and it was lovely. I had, upon making the reservations, I had told them that we were celebrating both our 15th anniversary and Dave’s birthday. [...]
May 31st
May comes to a close and so much is going on today! Dave and I celebrate 15 years of married bliss today. We’re just going out for burgers tonight and tomorrow night we’re doing the fancy dinner. Tomorrow is also Dave’s birthday. Yes, he chose our wedding date! Said he’d never forget the date that [...]
