Lots of disappointments in my life right now... I'll skip over those.
I have started working on Aiden's quilt (it is for Christmas shhhhh :). It is coming along quite nicely.
And I got all of Amber's Christmas presents already. Yay! And I've got a present or two for everyone else, too. :) Shopko had a really great sale, so I took full advantage of it!
And Steve & I have been taking a hike every evening. I'd call it a walk, but it is a walk in the foothills that we live near, so it is more of a hike. :) I really love getting away from time into the outdoors as often as I can.
In the next day or two you will be seeing a picture or two of Amber. Her birthday is tomorrow, and she will be 18! Another one grown. Time flies when you're having fun. :)
A success of the day is that I got the picture from my give away a few months ago sent out in the mail to Joy, Coffee Bean, Tammy, and Becca. Let me know that you receive them alright, would you ladies?
I think I'm going to hit the hay now. It has been the first calm moment of the day. It was end of term for my 3 public school teens today, so last night we were up until 1 am and then back up at 6. I've said it before, but I mean it when I say the old grey mare ain't what she used to be. ;)
Take care of yourselves and I'll see you at your blog tomorrow. If you are a lurker, please let me know you are here and leave a link to your blog; I can never have too many bloggy buddies. :)

Another 18 year old...my, they do get there fast, don't they? My next 18 year old's birthday is in June, so I have a few months to brace myself again.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to get the pretty photo! Thank you!

Oh, thank you for the picture! I'll let you know when I get it. Your photos of your garden are so peaceful and calming. I love the colors and the feeling in them. Happy birthday to my most incredible niece!
ReplyDeleteI got my pictues. Thank you so much. They turned out beautiful. Happy Bday to Amber.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the highschool time. This is our first year of highschool and it has rocked my sleeping habits. She has to be at the bus stop at 0630. Yikies. Let's see I only have 6.5 more years. But I know it will fly by fast.
Have a great weekend,
♥ Joy
I got the pictures! Thank you so much Melody!!!
ReplyDeleteLife sure is full up hills and valleys... and mountains to climb. Disappointment is well known entity in my life. Sigh...
Those walks/hikes with your husband sound wonderful. I wish we could do that during the week.
LOVE my pictures!!! I'm going to frame them and hang the dandelion one over my kitchen sink.
