No Blog Last Night

I was busy last night (Sat.) and when I sat down to blog at 10:00 PM a storm blew in and the thunder started to roll, so I shut the computer down. Trudy and Sadie had been over and I don't remember what else I was busy doing.

I went to the party at the Decker's house and had a good time. The weather was good and the mosquitoes didn't bother me. Bro. Decker grilled hamburgers and brats and every one brought a dish to share. I had cooked spaghetti and meat balls for Trudy and the gang, but they didn't eat it and the spaghetti didn't have enough sauce so I sent it home with Trudy. Anyway, spaghetti at a cook out would have been out of place. I took some cookies which were pretty sad next to the homemade desserts that were there! I've forgotten how to cook, unless its beans!

Tomorrow dad and I will go to H'ville to the Army base to get my pass renewed so I can shop at the commissary. I hope it will be a good trip for dad. I'll have my exercise class to go to at 9:15 Am and we'll probably go after lunch. Don't know though.

I had a good Mother's Day. Trudy got me a pretty necklace, Mary Kate sent me a funny e-card and Frankie just called me to wish me a happy Mother's Day. What more could a mother ask for but to hear from her children!

My Mother's Day Pesent

Trudy and Sadie came over today and brought me this beautiful present for Mother's Day! It took a while to work on the computer to figure out how to uploaded the pictures to be able to post the picture on the blog. Trudy wrote the instructions down so hopefully I'll be able to duplicate them and be able to post more pictures.

A Mother's Day card from MK


Don't send a lame Mother's Day eCard.
Try JibJab Sendables!
Aren't the pansies pretty? Well, they are artificial! Did I trick you? Ha-ha!
Aren't these flowers pretty? Yes, the are real dasies.
This is definitely a real Iris.

More Spring Flowers


Now these are real spring flowers! I need to dig them up and move them to a place where I can see them. They are in a place on the side of the house where they can't be seen by anyone but the neighbors!

Some Spring Flowers

How do you like my spring flowers? Do you recognize them? Yes, they are dandelions! The day I was taking pictures of the other flowers in the yard I saw them and they were so pretty I thought I would include them in the flower pictures I took.

Friday Again and Again

Already had a "Friday Again". The weeks are flying by, whish-h-h-h! My mood is lifted so I feel good all day.

My Stampin' Up! goodies came in today. I'll have fun learning how to use the watercolor pencils. I've got all the colors of card stock now so maybe now my cards will look better. The new stamps will be fun to use, too.

The party at the Decker's is Sat. night. Good thing I called today to see what time it was! Trudy and Sadie are coming over Sat. morning. They didn't get to spend the night tonight because Forrest wasn't feeling well and it was going to be a big rush to get the kids over here and then get to the temple for the 8:00 PM session. We can eat the food I fixed for tonight, tomorrow.
