What a difference a day makes or a week!

My last post it was sooo cold plants died. Today it was perfect and I was able to lay out on the lanai catching some rays.

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how to get something out of your head!!!
The last week bf #1 kept me laughing. However Wednesday I had a few things on my mind that I really didn't want to think about, dh is in Chicago, BF #1 on holiday, so I really needed distracting.

Otis tried to help in the Morning we went for our jog/walk & I had the headphones in and the iPhone blasting tunes.
Later in the day two other bf's helped out by texting & calling trying to keep my mind off things.
Friends on facebook were great too they posted on my wall, emailed and in general did what they could.
Then I got a brief text from bf #1 before Lost which of course was more than enough to distract me for the evening.

Today was much better, got a call from BF#1 then I had appointments until 1 then BF#2 called on lunch.
Gavin was here until 6:30 and while we were walking the last bf called to check in.

Have been chatting with friends on facebook again tonight. Now mind you Facebook can be addicting so enter at your own risk.

My suggestion to get something out of your head...call, email, text, chat or spend time with good friends!!

THANK YOU Anna, Monica, Lisa, Lori, Janine, Ashley, Cheryl, Lori, Melissa, Donna, David, Tom, Davidand of course Tyler, Sahara & Gavin, your the best!

Did you come back?

I hope so because I have some more AMAZING rug photos from the Florida Scrub Hooking to show you....


This is poor Otis after a tiring day at camp while Mom was away hooking..
poor pitiful thing so mistreated can't you tell?

On Saturday we had a wonderful breakfast & got back to our rugs....We also guessed at each ladies lie from Friday's game 2 truths & a lie, the ladies in class were too much fun! Most had trouble remembering the lie but others were completely obvious.
2 boyfriends....hahaha

This is Laurie Simpson's, Polly's sister, Hand Quilted piece.. everyone of us offered to take it off her hands
from the upcoming Flag Day Farm Collection

We also had our traditional Rug Show...all the teachers/students who want to exhibit a completed rug bring them to the lobby and volunteers work shifts to answer any questions of the other hotel guests or hookers.

Here are some of the rugs exhibited in no particular order.





I tried to capture the tag that went with them but some didn't show too well...sorry.

stay tuned....

Some wonderful photo highlights

It really is a challenge using an outdated program to edit photos to this blog so I emailed them all back to my desktop & ask that you forgive any discolorations or less than sharp images as iphoto is still not working on this machine...despite my attempts to restore it from a previous version....UGH

Sunday Morning looking over the Pasture/Parking lot

Time to leave & head home


Last weekend was a company campout at Hillsborough River State Park
I was completely impressed by the beauty and took over 300 photos....
don't worry I won't post them all here!
Our campsite backed up to the river & the Turkey Buzzard night time roosting tree.

I still haven't learned to mobile blog so I just updated my Facebook Status for family & friends.

Otis & I hiked 4 miles early Saturday Morning before everyone else woke up, we saw King Fishers & Herons.
Then we fed the squirrels breakfast

Later at the cookout/party


Lots of GOOD food and fun!
We sat around the fire that night and cooked more desserts and chatted!
Will post a few more of the critters I saw *More than my 10 years here* and some photos, from Sundays hike & Mondays Canoe trip.

Got to run & get ready for Community Group tonight we are still in the Financial Peace classes.

if it ain't one thing it's another

Well even though Casper hasn't left my side he does seem to be feeling better...Otis is a little out of sorts though LOL

Now that I think we can get back to some sort of normal Sahara tells me she has a sore throat last night.
She has been in bed most of the day with 101 degree fever.

In case I forgot "UNCLE, I give up" ...Please GOD enough.

Sunday, Monday or Tuesday? ALL of the above!
