My Poor, Neglected Blog!!!!

I haven't had a new post since January and it has been busy, crazy around here. We have been traveling for work and for play. Don has been working in California, I went to Winnipeg, Canada where it was painfully cold and then we thawed out a bit in sunny Florida for President's weekend.
Mom had her knee replacement surgery and she did fantastic. We are all glad that the surgery is behind her.
While in Florida taking advantage of our annual Walt Disney World passes, our little princess paid a visit to the Bibbidy, Bobbidy, Boutique. Here she is in her Rapunzel costume and fancy hairdo.
We took our daughter in law, Erin with us. Corwin is in Kuwait for a year so we tried to keep her company for a little while and get her to thaw out a bit.
Here we are in in the new 3D Toy Story attraction in Hollywood Studios. We had a blast and it was sunny and 80 degrees every day.
Been busy this week volunteering up at the school with another art project and I finally have time to finish poor Yvette's vintage smock. I have not had any crafting or creating time in for over a month.
Heading out in 2 weeks for Santa Monica, CA for more work and a trip to Denmark is in the works. It will be April and Easter before we know it.
Well, I m off to do some cleaning and catch up on my domestic goddess chores.

Not a Flea Market, but a Swap Meet.

Despite the fact that there was no junk in sight and the crafter's corner was a let down, I had a really good time at the swap meet in Orange County. I first found out that they don't call it a flea market. It is known as a swap meet. It was a high end place to shop. Everthing from hand-made items to patio furniture, custom baby bedding and yes even convertible Mercedes and BMW cars.

There was even an entire section dedicated to every ethnic food you could think of. Fresh meats, bakeries, produce. It was really cool.

I did find a few goodies which included a crocheted bracelet with beads and hand beaded rings. It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed the walk around. So it was not a total bust.

Well, this is my last week in California and I lost my voice all weekend from a cold, I guess. My voice is almost back to normal, but I woke up this morning with what looks like pink eye. Looking for an eye doctor this morning so I can find out if I have an eye infection or not. It is always something.

Have a great week friends.

Just Doing a Little Catching Up!

I mentioned in a previous post that I was going to a large outdoor shopping mall while I was out working in California. It was absolutely beautiful. Here is a ferris wheel in the center of the plaza. You just can't beat the site of these tall palm trees.
I did get to go into Anthropologie. The displays were terrific. I made a request to take pictures, but the Manager said NO! Oh well. Maybe my next trip in I will sneak a few.
Everything was so pretty. The attention to detail in these stores was fantastic. Atlanta is our hot spot to shop around my neck of the woods and nothing compares to what was at this mall.
Here is what I hauled back to the hotel. My big splurge....
I warned Hubs that I was going after a pair of new shades. They rock!!
Here is the shirt I bought at Anthropologie. I love all the ruffles.
Of course I could not come home without anything for the mini chick. These were her goodies. The kids around here are going absolutely wild over the Sketchers Twinkle Toes.

The following week I flew home and we celebrated a Sweet 60th Birthday for Judy!!!!!
We got together as a family and all took Judy to dinner at Natalia's in Macon. We had our own private room. It was lovely and the food was fantastic!
Here is Shelby and I before we left for Judy's birthday celebration. She is growing up so fast. She is such a girl! We had to have our purse and our lipstick before we could leave the house.
When I got home, we colored some Easter eggs, packed Daddy up for California, celebrated Judy's birthday, had an egg hunt, opened treats from the Easter Bunny, got Daddy off to the airport, had egg salad with Mom for Easter dinner, and then packed up again for Spring Break.
We were here for three days:
It has been a very busy 3 weeks. And it doesn't stop there. I am getting ready to go back to California this week. I leave on Sunday. I am doing some last minute visiting with friends, completing a new art project with Lee which will soon be revealed and finding a little time to spend with Don this weekend. I will stay in touch. Until then, have a great rest of the week, y'all!

I am Still Here!

Where is here... it is not middle Georgia. This is the view outside the airport in Orange County, California where I have been working the last week. The weather has been beautiful and the landscape and scenery are a feast for the eyes. Work has been going very well and we are plugging through the project.
I have not had much time to do anything but work, but I found this fun place while grabbing some lunch yesterday.
I took one look at this place and knew exactly what was inside.
CUPCAKES!!!
These were a work of art. I did not splurge, but maybe before I leave next week.
I am missing these two more than anything!! Hugs and Kisses to you, my sweeties.
Well, today is Sunday and my first day off. I am going to a very large outdoor shopping mall and get some sunshine and checkout Nordstrom's, Brighton and Coach! I will take pictures. Thanks to all my buddies who have been emailing and calling to check up on me while I am away. You are the Best!
