Saturday Round Up

I am going to try and get back into the swing of things and toward that end, I am going to try and close out the week every Saturday and include some of my silly thoughts.

There was lots of stamping projects posted on the stamping page and I even posted a new recipe.  I haven't taken any pictures lately but I am going to pull out my camera this week.  Hopefully, it will be some thing besides my flower bed.

My goals for the week are as follows:

   1) Get back on the treadmill.  I would love to walk/run three times this week.
   2)  Stay on top of the housework, especially in the kitchen.
   3)  Continue to stamp...
   4)  Start organizing my recipes again.

That is a starting point for goals.  Let's see how I do on them.

Thoughts for the week:  I didn't write a lot down this week.  I will have to remember to do this as the week goes by....

   1)  Where has the summer gone?  Public schools start back the week after Labor Day in Michigan and that is two weeks away.  I am ready to go back to work but I will miss being at home all day and the summer weather.  Fall will fly by with lots of activity and before we know it, there will be winter.  Enough said....

   2)  Organizing...I am usually a perfectionist.  I am always looking for quicker and better ways to do things and every thing has to have a place.  I have let some things slip but it is time to re-evaluate.

   3)  Fall flowers...What fall flowers do you like?  Especially if you live in Michigan.  I usually just put out some mums.

I am going to close with a rose picture from the world wide web.  As time goes by, I hope to use some of my flowers.

That's it for this week.  I hope every one has a great week.

Summer's Almost Over

It is hard to believe that schools in Michigan will be starting back in less than six weeks.  Where has the summer gone.  My husband and I talked about several short trips/vacations but nothing came of the talking.  We have spent the summer at home.  And that is okay with me.  I have just relaxed and enjoyed the time off.

At the beginning of summer, I got a couple of new rose bushes.  I ordered through the mail and they were all bare roots, so they have had to grow alot.  I wasn't expecting any roses this summer.  One was a peach color and yesterday, I cut the first rose off of it.  The bush is still small, but it is blooming.  I am still getting roses off my red and yellow bushes.  Plus the yellow/pink multicolor bush is loaded with buds.

Well off to read for a little while.  I hope everyone is enjoying the summer.

Until later.....

Last Day of School

Today is the last day of school.  Bring on summer vacation.  I am so looking forward to the time off.  I will still be working my other job, but it is just part time so I should have time to work on some projects.

I hope everyone has a great summer.  Time time to enjoy it.

Have a Great June 1st

No picture today.  I just wanted to take a moment and welcome in June.  I can't believe it is June 1st already.  I have two more weeks of school.  I can't wait.  I am looking forward to summer vacation.  Hopefully, I will have more time on here.

I didn't post as much as I would have liked last month.  My migraines have been giving me fits.  I don't know if it is an allergy thing or what.  Hopefully, they will level off soon.

My son is come from college so I should have some pictures of him to post soon.  Plus my flower bed is doing great.

Off to do a few things around the house.  I hope to have some cards to post on the stamping page today and maybe a recipe or two on that page.  Check back later.

Have a great weekend.

Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to take a moment to wish all the Mothers Happy Mother's Day. 

May already?

I can't believe it is the first of May.  I took a short walk today and I just had to take a picture of the community entryway.  The trees are so pretty.

Spring Break

This week is spring break at the local high school and that means I get the week off.  I am so looking forward to some down time.  I have a few household projects I want to get done, but I am planning on relaxing some too. 

I am leaving my Easter things out until later in the week.  I so hope spring is on its way.

It is lunchtime and I have gotten the master bedroom and bathroom, the craftroom, and entryway clean.  The laundry is also washed.  I am off to clean the dining room and fold the clothes.  I also want to start a summertime project list. 

Well I will chat with all of you later.  Have a great day.
