How Could This Be??

Is it possible that this is again the last day of another month gone by?
We are having the worst storms... It started last night at 5:00p.m. and has gotten worse and worse... We are supposed to have them straight through until tomorrow morning... We have lots of water standing in the yard now....
Yesterday Jalyn got on the roof and cleaned out our gutters, just before the rains started!!! The Gutter Goddess!!!! Thank You !!Thank You!!
The female turkey is in the yard again today.. we have not seen her since the last really bad storms we had about a year ago... Welcome back...

I went to prepaint yesterday, the" Funky Chandelier" and it went  fine.. I have that class tonight... Anyway on with this rainy day!!!

LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN

I wrote a very nice[in my opinion] blog this a.m. with all kinds of interesting things that I did on my Saturday, then I added pictures .. right in the middle of all that we had a power outage or two, no three, each lasting only a few minutes, but causing the pictures not to load correctly.
Wy so kindly came to help and somehow deleted the whole bloomin thing...
oh well, I will try again.
Saturday ,I started off with breakfast at Mimi's with Jamie , very nice start to the day, Then off to get gas and to the grocery store...home to put stuff away and then  off to Jamie's for book club.The book was "Ella Minnow Pea" by Mark Dunn... Jamie had everything dressed in the alphabet and looking good. A weenie roast was the choice of food and it was yummy!!! Thank You Jamie!! I was very excited to get to meet Brady, and to spend a bit of time with Carter and Peighton Too!!!
At 4:00p.m. I was at work to do a private party of 13 people and we painted" The Cobbelstone Walk" and a great job was done by all....Home by 9:30 p.m. and pooped but happy....
 Today Mom called to say ,come over and see the new puppy she and Deb got yesterday and so I did and Willy is a very mellow fellow and very cute...
That just about says it all  ,so hope you have a very nice evening, bye for now....

Catching Up

 So much to say, so little time....
 Thursday, after my class was cancelled, I worked my tail off outside with wy, until 1:00 then went to p.w.a.t. to prepaint.,while I was there I was offered the teaching of the other class that was on for Thursday, so I stayed and taught that instead.... We had 11 people with a range of from 13 years old to 90 years old... We had a great time....
Now on to yesterday, Friday,  Jalyn was working at the  St. Pete Grand Prix, so Wy and I decided to go to it and get to see it and her.... It was another beautiful day , nice cool breeze.... Thank You!!! Thank You!!! A wonderful time was had by all....
On Wednesday I repotted all my little seedlings that have come up and ,then went to visit my Mom...
Today is another busy one, Breakfast with the girls, book club at 2:00 and work at 4:00.. wow!! Time does fly when your having fun...
 I wish you all the best Saturday ever !!!

What Now?

We had a great day yesterday, Thank You! Thank You!!! Becky was there to help me and that she did, Thank You, Becky! The boss was out of town and thank goodness all seemed to go well... We had 9 people and a very good time .....I then stayed after the class and prepainted, as did Becky, and got home after 6:30 and Wy had made dinner.. Thank You Wy!!!
 I guess I should have named this one Many Thanks.......
Now yet again ,no one has signed up for either of my next two Thursday night classes.. that makes four in a row and 6 for the month... I am trying to get used to this, and not take it personally, but that is proving to be hard to do......
Oh Well,   The weather  here is still beautiful and allowing us to still be able to work out side and still feel that its Spring, and again I am Thankful, for as long as it lasts ,before the heat drives us indoors....
I think that's whats up for today again , so lets get on with it... bye for now... have a good one all....

Feast or Famine

Here we are to Saturday and both my Thursday and Saturday night classes have been cancelled do to lack of interest... This is too many days of rest.... Oh Well I guess I will get used to the ups and downs soon...
Wy and I had a very nice day Wednesday, out to lunch and to the tax accountant, all seems well there...
Yesterday I was at work for an hour or so... Today its off to breakfast, so starting off well ...
The weather has been cooperating, Thank You!! Thank You!!!
We also had a very nice St. Patty's day , Dinner was a success and the company  was great....
Y'all try to get out there tonight and see the super moon... Its should be a stunner!!!!
Well that's all for now , Have yourself a good day today!!!

Oh! That's Mine!!

 WOW! How surprised and pleased was I to see the April calendar come up and two of my original paintings are on it... Thank You! Thank You!!...
April  looks to be a good month...
Yesterday Wy, Jalyn, the dogs and I, took a picnic lunch to the pond and had a very nice, nature filled experience!!It was warm and quiet enough to hear the birds as we watch them . Some splashed and bathed  in the pond and some soared above us ,while others darted from tree to tree.It was a most enjoyable afternoon....Some how food tastes better in a different surrounding, even just sandwiches...
It's Wednesday already and that means a day of prepainting for me, a happy day.. Midweek, Midmonth, How is this possible already????
Tomorrow is ST. Patrick's Day and I wish everyone a good one... I am making the traditional meal....
Meanwhile on with this day, My best to all....

This Day Off

WOW!!! We made it through three nights straight of work and all is well!!!!
I had 14 people last night and we had a ball.....Everyone did a great job on their paintings and I can't wait to see the posting from P.W.A.T. on face book...
I am pooped, but will  take this day to rest and re coop.....
It's 48 degrees and the sun is up....We changed the clocks forward, so this day is on speed dial ,but if we have to change them, this is my favorite ,longer days to come...Thank You!! Thank You!!!
Linda and I had a very nice breakfast visit yesterday, and from there the day is a blurr, it  went by so fast...
Oh Well! May you all have the best Sunday ever.....
Oops no rest for the weary... It's out I go to do a burn and pick up limbs... Oh Well ,maybe tomorrow ,rest will come....

Pouring



  The sky's have opened up this A.M. and down it is coming....The noise is frightening the dogs,but the water is most needed...Thank You!! Thank You!!! 
Well I have got to hold on tight for a busy ride the next three nights. I am teaching three in a row and am very excited  by the chance to see how it all plays out....
I prepainted the third one yesterday and it went well ... So I have high hopes for a good weekend to come....
I was able to get some seeds in the dirt yesterday, and I hope I don't  find them spilled on to the deck after such a hard rain, but we shall see, I planted Three kinds of heirloom tomato's and collards and cantalope seeds... anyway I hope everyone is well and happy and will have as good a weekend coming as I intend to have....  bye for now

A Little Sprinkle Of Rain

What a fun work day I had yesterday! Thank You !Thank You!  I started at 10:00 a. m. at P.W.A.T. doing a prepaint until noon. It was then off to Teresa's ,she made a very nice lunch for us ,and we two left to go to the Gasparilla Art Show..Always the best around....no exception again this year, it was wonderful... I was back at work at 4:00 p.m. to do a party, always a lot of fun....no exception again here either...., Home at 9;00 p.m. exhausted but in such a good way.....
We are starting today off with a bit of rain, only befitting the departure of both, John and Jeanette, and Woody and Mary Ellen.. All of which will be missed greatly... safe travels to you all.....
I am however sorry I missed A Little Sprinkle for Christine Last night,... I know you guy's had fun...
What is up for today?? We shall see.....

Good Day Too

Wy and I had a very good day yesterday...We met Woody and Mary Ellen and went to the horse track.. I won four show places in a row.. Nice!!! Thank You!! Thank You!! The sun was out ,the sky was blue, with a light wind to cool us and great company to keep us entertained... WOW !!! We than went to Tarpon Spring and had a great Greek dinner ....We came home fat and happy!!!!
Today is a long and good work day for me and also my fave.... Sorry I will miss the last breakfast, but wish you well on your way to the  North West!!!!!
Anyway on with the start of another good day!!!!!
P.S. I was in a hurry and these pictures are what I could find for now!!!!

Where is everyone???

We are certainly have trouble getting people to come to P.W.A.T. this week...Only one Friday, None Saturday, and none so far tonight, My night... Where are you?/ Please help us get this thing moving!!! It is really great fun... Oh Well, I will just consider this a night off and try not to worry about my new job!!!
I did go prepaint yesterday and that was fun...We did however have a power outage while I was there, it didn't last too long, Thank You!! Thank You!!
The weather here continues to cooperate and has been beautiful!!!
Amy came over last night and we had a very nice visit!!! She is certainly loving her new convertible in this weather.....

Well, I don't know what I will do with this day, but it's best I go get started and find out ..Hope yours is a good one.....

This is not goodbye

We had a very nice dinner last night in honor of the next great adventure, and knowing that you guys are family makes me know this is not goodbye, but just see you a bit later,  maybe even down the road a way's!!!
Know that we love you and will miss you, but hope this is the best time of your lives.....
We will be here a while yet should you need any thing, just let us know!!!!
Today is starting off a lot cooler than the last few weeks and it feels great to me!! Thank You !Thank You!
I hope to go get some prepainting done a little later today, but we shall see....
Other people's lives are changing too in our little circle of the everyday and what looks like a upsetting situation, hopefully will be okay and maybe even turn out to be a positive in the end. We must at least hope so...
Parting in these cases is such sweet sorrow!!!
Friends will always be friends no matter how far apart they are!!!!!!!

A little Rain

We are starting a new month with a little rain, which is very badly needed, so no complaints from me right now!!!Wy and I got a little more work finished outside yesterday, so it will be good to take a break from it today! We are both sore and tired, but in that good way, with a feeling of acomplishment! Thank You! Thank You! Things around here are looking better and better,espcially with the azaleas in full on bloom![another reason to be thankful for the rain today]
I am thinking about getting some seeds in pots in the next day or two to have a small container garden this year. [Just a start because I am so out of practice, and I'm going to be so busy with the new job.]We shall see!!! Anyway I am off to the store to pick out something to have for supper, what with company coming and all!! Hope everyone has a busy and produtive day!!
