Hello~

I did not realize it has been near 2 weeks since my last post....my goodness where has the time gone.....well I know where some of it has gone so here is the updates from my little corner of the world!

Basketball first and foremost....Our girls made it to sub section championships...They did great but we did lose in the finals but second place to get that far is nothing to sneeze at so we are still very proud of them.....Our daughter was not able to participate in the final game as she was in Costa Rica for a week with her Spanish class....Once I get some of the photos on my lap top I will upload a few of them for you to see...she took 450 some photos and they are BEAUTIFUL! I just might have to travel that way some day!!

So yes between basket ball.....and youngest was gone for a week..the oldest came home for Spring break....LOL I feel like I had a revolving door for a few days. But I loved spending time with her and getting some major house work done!

A co-worker and a friend from work....her mother is in a battle for breast cancer and I am assisting her in creating a small quilt...we do have a few blocks made and it coming together very nice....so that's anew project I am working on...Will share photos of that too hopefully this next week!!

Our ground is bare.....but been battling floods....*ugh* We go from one extreme to the next. so yes this next week I have some good photos to share with all of you.

Today oldest daughter announced she took yet another part time job that could have potential for full time position and she has signed a lease for an apartment ....so we got the fun day today to go search fro some furniture....she found a darling recliner and an entertainment center...end table and a queen size 7 pc bedroom set and a lamp...so she is well on her way to having her new place completely set up!! We are so proud of her....I had to laugh as she paid her down payment to her apartment and she said to us...I am so proud of myself....I didn't have to ask you guys for money!! Did we raise that girl right or what!!

My Reiki Studio has been extremely busy the last two weeks as well,...It is alsmost like people came climbing out of the woodwork....but that will be a fun update for another time...perhaps later this Spring.

Until then....I hope all of you are having a great weekend.... and hope the week ahead bring all things great for you

TGIF

Am I the only one that is glad it is friday!? WOW what a month I have had.

Well we had a bitter sweet game this evening down in Marshall MN at SMSU, we took second place in tourney and certainly nothing to look down on. So proud of our young ladies and the season is now complete. they went home tonight with their silver medals...and a trophy. Our daughter did get to call just before the game to say hi to the coach and wish the team well...(mom didnt handle that so well) but was her choice to go.
As she complains to about 35 of us on speaker phone "Its sooooo hot " LOL I said well you could have stayed in frozen ville and put up the 2 inches of rain we have and now soon in flood stages and surrounded by mud and water.... Not sure what she expected when she was going to visit so close to the equater...LOL.

Now my life is gonna slow down some...Im happy hubby is already wondering what we will be doing and I guess neither one of knows what we will do now for entertainment but I will make sure should we come a cross something that I will share with all of you.

I am cutting this short as I am exhausted from over time and long hours in my shop and tomorrow is a catchup day on cleaning and laundry after I get home from taking a co-worker out to eat.

Hope you all have a great weekend. I know I plan to get some R&R done as well!

We made it to Subsections Championships

Oh wow what a week.... We play Friday night over in Redwood Falls, against Yellow Medicine East and won...Bitter sweet win for my daughter a s she has dreamed of this since she was a little tyke and we were going to games. But as some know she departs this evening for Costa Rica Spanish class trip for 8 days....and she will miss our next game on SMSU floor in Marshall....and she is sooo bummed... but she told the team they will win any how and she will be back to help stomp em in State!! WOOT Lets hope so huh!!
Sisters sharing the moment after a huge win...you'd never guess the short one is the oldest huh....LOL.... People g et them mixed up all the time due to height and size
Becky with her medal...she was so proud. She had a hard time fighting those tears and so did mom!

Winning team!! What a week.....So proud of these young ladies! They did a great job. Even though our daughter will not be present at the next game in Marshall, we play against Pipestone Friday, we plan to go tape it for her and we plan to cheer them on on her behalf!

Good Job ladies we are so proud of all of you~


Now a new week begins, not sure why but I just hate Mondays, oldest is on Spring break for a week but only home for the weekend....here to see her sister off on her trip then headed back to college for her job, She informed us she found a lil apartment with utilities furnished, but she needs some furniture..I said to my husband" HEY this is perfect timing cause we have a graduation next yr! " LOL not so sure he liked that idea..... But none the less will be fun shopping for her!

Other wise not much new. Weather wise has been nice....snow is slowly melting and we can actually see part of the driveway! Predicting rain on Tuesday so should be a sloppy mess! Ahhhh Spring!!

Have a good week gang!

Well not as bad as it was a few weeks ago but still deep...but the good thing is we have seen SUN for about three days now, which in my book is totally awesome! I am sooooo ready for summer!
Not much has been happening here, been actually in a funk I guess. I have not done any crafting, cleaning or anything else., too busy at work and then next week now my youngest leaves on a Spansh Class Trip to Costa Rica...But we have now hit a snag............. We are now in our basketball playoffs...we won our AA sections last night and have a second Game on Tuesday night.....if we win that we have one more game then next Fri but if we lose we are done......so shes got a bitter sweet feeling going on....if we win both and go to State shes gonna be Costa Rica when that game comes....so now we have to figure out how and what to do if it comes to this......she wants to stay with the class on this trip but sh e also wants to be part of the basketball team either way win or lose...UGH always something it seems.

Oh and yes Prom is coming thus the new dress for a girl who hates dresses...LOL colorful I must say but fits her personality!

It is a perfect for her I do not even need to alter this one!! WOOOOHOOO

well it too 3 days but we finally got plowed out somewhat still icy and snow mounds evr where but such is life I guess this time of year.
After being stranded a few days in town it certainly is good to come home even if we do have a yard full of snow! Then a few days later we get nailed again just when I think we cant possibly have any more room for snow.............


I love it when people call into work over a storm day, or because they can not see and yet some how I always seem to get there, However I usually do not get there with out some type of assistance as you can see in the video. I apologize for the bad quality as I am not one to have such a steady hand but I am sure you get the idea after seeing it. This was taken on January 16 at 4:00 a.m... We still have to dig our way through the railroad when the winds pick up. Did I ever tell you I have a wonderful husband for taking on such a task!!


Not much else new here other than the weather, I am still cleaning out closets and drawers and cupboards, I did get to Montevideo yesterday and went shopping and got some new things ordered for a basketball scrap book. Hope to begin on that in the near future, I am getting behind and soon March is here and will be time to plant a garden again.

Hope you all have a great week and keep being creative!

Well I have not started the new year off so great at my posting updates...Hopefully that will get better as time goes... But to get things on the right track I want to do an update and get square my duties I signed up for creative every day. The theme for January is Body....so with much given thought in all of my so called passions which are too many to write about I will share some of the photos of the past week I have taken in regards to body.... Above photo is my youngest daughter trying on a dress she bought for next months winter formal at school...I must say for a tomboy for this one to get in a dress is literally shocking!! I think she made an excellent choice! I love the style on her and the colors too..





This is a snow bank..or *coughs* a body of snow outside of one of our garages.....we had a three day blowing snowstorm....trust me this photo isnt even close to what we had but ya all get the idea....I got stormed in at work for three days...hence another reason I am so far behind in posting....I simply was not home

Two more bodies in my home..hubby in his usual pose reading the paper at lunch...and of course his best buddy....our rescue cat Smokie... she such a brat but now and then you can manage to get a pose of two out of her!

Yes..was a good day I managed 2 poses out of her!!


Any how, that is my few little doodles for the first week of January and the theme Body~

hope eveyone stays safe and stays warm! Until next time!!

Oh I love new beginnings.....I have been working on my project for creative every day the theme is body....so definitely a good theme for the new year and so many things humming in my head! LOL oh just to get them done!

Well I started on that organization project,...well sort of.....I spent about 3 hours taking strips out of a plastic bag that some of the fabric is in as hubby sat and watched the football game to show him it does take TIME....ahhhh time, not always on my side...but will make the best of it right!!?

Last few days have been -30...-32...-28....high of the days still in the negative teens....too darn cold to do anything!

Nothing much happening here just day to day activities for the normal household, or at least as normal as we can be !!

Well until later this week...Ill post a photo of works in progress by mid week....in the mean time keep on creating!! Stay warm and blessings to all
