Hello y'all

I know I have been so missing in action

oh but you will be so very very happy to hear that in between all my weekend work and home duties along with 3 hours of yoga I managed to be in my craft room from 2:00am to 7:40am on Saturday morning and Sunday was pretty much the same start time but was able to sneak out even a little later like 8:30am

It was a fabulous play in my craft room kinda weekend

really enjoyed the creating and the class prep time and oh yes I worked on my swap cards - I bet you will be thrilled when I share the cards that I receive!

OUH la la so exciting

I also managed to get all the laundry done - I baked and cooked for the entire week as I knew the week was very hectic

and oh yes it is hectic - oh but wait friends I LOVE it that way

so very very full of gratitude for work for myine and Renee's company and the work for Rex and Evan's company - how very very blessed we are!!!!

so onto what I have to share with you all

good day friends

I am really not sure how Wed. got here so fast!???

so after all my modem and dlink box issues last week

I was blessed with more issues yesterday

oh my.....................

deep breath BUT I managed to fix THE ISSUES

 oh wait did I mention 4 hours on  the phone with support tech

oh yes fun stuff uh?

but all office computers are back up and are also talking to each other

and they are printing

yhippy it's a small victory for me!

so today will be a perfect day - he he nothing will go wrong

it will be perfect

I am setting it in stone LOL

------------

onto a recipe

okay I took sometime yesterday evening before picking up my chickie from the airport

to create this

 
this is a wonderful waffle recipe

my family really enjoys it and I like to make it Sundays if I don't have a class

I also usually double the recipe as they freeze really well and they taste

so much better then the frozen store bought  ones!

yhum

oh I wanted to share this photo with you today as well

 
the geese were so close to the deck yesterday morning

they are so beautiful and I enjoy their morning visit

 
here is a typical day for Max at work

he is so hard at work don't you think??
LOL
all right friends I know, this one is Short

sorry but I got to go to work

I had a late nigth and could not get up at my usual 2:30am

seigh

so 3:45 it was but I did not get any sleep before midnight

my grandma used to say that sleep before midnight was worth double the hours

she knew this stuff you see she was  a school teacher

ahw makes me smile thinking about her

her birthday was july 7th and she was born in 1918

so I always thought of her as being so very wise

oh my again too much blah blah sorry folks

after our walk Max was so tired that he slept for hours

look at this

 
Ahw Max

poor Goldie had to stay home - she is doing okay with her new medication - her knee is a bit better - still not great but she does not seem uphappy at all

we will continue to monitor her and see how she does

she is going back to the doctor for a check up on Monday and they will renew the medication and see how she is doing

poor old girl it's going to be a sad day when we say good bye to her

although she was stray that just wondered off the road one day almost 8 years ago - she has been such a wonderful pet and I know that Evan will be heart broken as he claimed her rigth from the get go

and our Max will be super sad

deep breath it will all be okay right??

all  right I will give you some nice news

Renee is doing fabulous at college and loving every minute of it

Rex and I are just so proud of our beautiful bright daughter

a week from today our baby girl will be 18 years old whow I am really not sure where the years have gone

it seems like it was just yesterday when I was getting excited for our baby to be born

seigh he he

all right enough rambling on

sorry friends

I wish you all a super wonderful day and I will see you tomorrow with our

Stampaholics challenge

Taco Recipe created on My Digital Studio Stampin Up!

Good day it's Wed. Morning and I am sort of behind

was on installs yesterday and I have just kinda ran out of time this morning in the office

but I am pulling it together slow but sure

to top things off we had to take our Goldie back to the vets - Rex took her about a month ago

she has really bad hips and the last couple months have just gotten worse

and this past weekend was really really bad (really sad sigh)

anyways She went back yesterday and I went to meet with the doctor when I picked her up and the news is grim

Her hips are bad but to top it off she tore her knee and that is why she is having such a hard time walking

she seems still so happy and still wants to chase the birds and play with Max

but it is so sad to see her not able to walk very good

anyways I have pain medicine for her - but we will have to make a family decision

I don't want to see her struggle - if any of you know me or my family - you know that my dad had a long lasting illness and it was very very difficult on our family and on my very special dad - so I would not wish that on anyone and I don't want to have our Goldie suffer either

anyways

here's a photo of Goldie driving home from the vets last night!

 
she was very happy to sit in the front sit of my Hummer

too cute uh?

Max was sitting right next to me in my seat - I don't think that is legal?? lol

soooooooo just had to share that with y'all

I have a recipe for you promise

here is a taco recipe that I really enjoy making it's yhum and fun!

 
so I created in my Digital Studio

I like the look don't you??

hope you enjoy this recipe

oh and to make some fun stuff on my blog I want to show you a photo of

Bailey

you see my Friend Tammy has  a new little baby

 

 
he is so tiny uh?

too cute I am so happy for you Tammy

enjoy your new beautiful little baby!!!!

oh speaking of babies we have little baby geese at our house

 
they are so cute

 
they are going for a little swim

 
front yard after lawn mowing

okay one more photo of some sandwich boards that we made

and then that will be the end of my post for this Wed.

 
Sandwich boards that we made

and decals also to match

so that is it for me today my friends

I'll see you tomorrow

hope you did not mind all the details in my post today

but hope you enjoy the recipe
