Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all!

Halloween costume in the making!

My daughter found this Betsy Johnson dress for $15.00 at a second hand shop. Isn't it great! First thing I thought of was Pebbles. So off I go to the thrift to find a bone. Guess what I find! Take a look at Bailey in the previous post. I was so excited, I thought she would be also. But no, she wants to be a cat. Oh well, I will save it for next year. Anyway she might change her mind. One more day!

Halloween

Bailey is ready

I love these white pumpkins. I got them at the thrift for $1.21 each.

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween!

Homecoming!

Aren't they soooo cute!

Mine is the one on the right.

These are both mine. I'm so proud! They are both good kids.

She really liked her hair.

Thanks for looking and listening.

Why I go to Montana

The view from the front porch. That is Flathead Lake in the distance.

My little house. And yes, the living room is skinny.

My pictures are not very good. But I do hope to get better. I should have made the bed or closed the door. I didn't stay at the house because it is closed down for the winter. I stayed with my daughter in her new apt. in Whitefish Montana with a view of the ski mountain-not to shabby. She says she's living the life.

We call this the Florida room because it's all windows. We use it as a mud room.

When we bought the place there was a log across the doorway about 2feet off the floor. You had to step over it to get in the room. We have no idea why.

Another view of the Florida room/mud room.

A----- studying.

Friends

See you guys at Thanksgiving.

Everyone have a fun weekend.

Chaps!

I'm finally here again. I was in Spokane with my oldest daughter this week and couldn't wait to take her to my mostest favorite place-Chaps!

A----- absolutely loved it.

We didn't get there until 2pm and they closed at 3pm so we were the only ones there. It was great. Celeste came down stairs and was just to sweet. She actually remembered me from being there this summer during the Farm Chick Show. Really topped off our trip.

They are putting in a bakery. It will be done be Christmas. I'm sure it will be amazing.

So if you are in Spokane you have to go to Chaps.

Celeste, thanks for making me feel so special.

Look at what I got!

I'm so excited. My first Etsy buy and it could not be more perfect. From Tara at http://blondiensc.typepad.com/blondie_n_san_clemente/. The only problem now is she has another one. I can't have them all, I will let someone else have that one.
Thank you Tara!

Homecoming week!

This was 3 years ago. Now E.... on the right is a senior. My last homecoming, I have had 13 years straight years of homecomings. Lots and lots of dresses. I'm pretty good at it by now.

I have been pretty darn busy. Had a huge rummage sale last week at the school. We made over $4,000.00! Trying to buy our yearbook teacher a new Mac Lab.

And, I'm off to Montana on Monday. Meeting up with my oldest daughter A..... in Spokane so she can take her boards for Occupational Therapy Assistant. Then we drive over to Montana.
But not until we have dinner at Chaps. I better check to make sure it's open. My favorite place. I plan on checking out Spokane for some good shops. If anyone knows of good junk or thrift stores let me know.

I'm sorry I haven't been blogging much. If anyone is listening. I only know how to add my own pictures. I can't figure out how to add inspiration pictures or anything from other places, if that makes sense.

You all have a happy week!

Sue

WHAT IS IT!

This is by my front door right next to the mailbox. It's 6 inches long about 3 inches wide.

Woolly legs

Kind of pretty but scary.

I'm sure someone out there in blog land knows.

Sue

I'm here! Please don't leave me.

I'm sorry I have been a bad blogger this week. To much going on for me. I like it calm and maybe a little boring. We have a huge fundraiser going on for this ones yearbook class. $36,000.00! For a new Mac Lab. All three of daughters have been an editor with this teacher so I have been with her continuously for about 13 yrs. And an older lady hit my car in the parking lot today. I think she thought I would just pull out and leave. Just to add a little stress.
Bla Bla Bla Iwon't bore you. Anyway, I still just love blogging and reading all of your blogs.

This is us getting on the train to go from Whitefish Mt to Spokane Wa. It was so much fun.
Have a wonderful Wednesday to all my friends in blogging land.

Good News!

This is the kitty I couldn't catch. I thought she had died like her Mom, I just couldn't find her. Well, my neighbor heard her crying on Wednesday, I had search the bushes and did not see her. She was there! Very very thin, no food for about 4 days. My neighbor took her in and love her. She is a very grateful kitty. Happy ending to the story!
Have a fun weekend. We have family birthday party at the lake on Sunday. It's still 90 here! The only way I know it's fall is by looking a blogs.

She's driving!

My baby is driving! I can't believe it, time goes to fast. We just pulled in the driveway and she is off to her friends and then the store. I'm not a very good driving teacher. I had a difficult time with all three of my girls. It scares me to death. I'm a defencive driver and I hope it has rubbed off on them. Just remember the number of children you have is how many times you have go back through school and teach to drive.
Be safe everyone my baby is on the road!

Kitty update

Kitties go to a good home on Wednesday. We have really gotten attached. They are sweet little kittens and give us alot of entertainment.
The sad part is I have been looking for the mother and one other kitten for a few days. I found her last night in the bushes in front of my house. I don't know how she died, I just felt so bad for her. I saw her the other day running away from my porch with something hanging from her mouth. I think she was bringing me her dead kitten. She knew I was trying to help her. I just wish I could keep all the kitties but I don't want to be know as the crazy cat lady.
Have a good day,

Sue

Sunday Morning

This is what I do on Sunday mornings. Hubbie is off water skiing, I could have gone except I don't like to get in Florida Lakes and riding in the boat at a high speed just doesn't appeal to me. I can ski. I just wanted you to know that.

The flag was blowing so pretty.

Bailey and Miley enjoying the morning shade before it gets to be 90!

I'm sorry about the hose. Miley would have ran off it I tried to move it.

Off the get my baby(17) new jeans. Then a 4pm meeting fundraiser meeting for yearbook.

Fun Sunday to all.

My other bathroom redo!

This is not a very good picture and for some reason I'm not able to edit the pictures. Anyhoo, the water color is of the everglades. I paid 95 cents for it. I just love the soft blues. It's what helped me with the colors in the room.

The hooks I got at the Farm Chick Show in 2008. They where 2 bucks each. I saved them just for this project. Can you tell I put the wainscoting sideways instead of up and down. I love it.

There are two sinks the counter is quartz and the faucets I got at the Expo in the sale room.

I always wanted subway tile and I will put it in the kitchen when that is done.

Thank you for taking a look at my bathrooms. Hopefully the kitchen will be done soon.

Enjoy the weekend.
