13 days and counting...

feel as if I shouldn't open my mouth in front anyone at this point (except to breathe)... seems like every time I start to say something I'm spewing out absurdities... ramblings of psycho babble.   I've had the time of my life with Sar the past 3-4 months, but my brain is in fry-mode and my personality doesn't leave much to be desired.   

I am SO EXCITED for the wedding; for my Sarah and her TJ... to reminisce over her very brief life so far on this earth (it's been too short and now I'm bawling... time flies, but she'll always and forever be MY little girl)... to be able to see family, old friends and new... just being together with those we love.  I was particularly ecstatic this last weekend when at one of Sar's showers three of my sister-in-laws decided they were coming back to Boise with me to help with reception #2... they're my Godsends and just having them near for support means the world to me.  I also couldn't be more grateful right now for Rob... my Dutch Boy builder and creator of several  projects that will make the wedding spectacular, for Ally... her smiles, kisses and hugs, for my parents... wanting to help in EVERY way possible, for lovely lady friends who have been completely selfless in volunteering their time and talents... to so many.  I feel so VERY blessed and am filled with gratitude everyday for having you all in my life.  Thank you... from the bottom of my heart.  What you've done for me and my family has not gone unnoticed... most days I feel as if I'm living amongst angels... humbling.

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage".  I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...
