My Week in Review

There are many things I wanted to write about this week, since I use this blog as my journal.
It started out on Monday with me working on the samples for my card classes this coming week. I was able to get 5 finished and really had to struggle with the 6th one.. I discarded 3 samples, that seemed like good ideas until I got them put together.. So I slept on it and on Tuesday morning I was able to create one I loved. So then it was cutting, punching measuring and getting pieces cut for all the kits. I worked a little on this all week and finished yesterday and was able to clean my mess off the dining room table.. Yeah I love to see a clean table.

Tuesday afternoon I looked out my sliding doors to my patio and saw something moving.. much to my surprise I had a baby bunny on my "enclosed" patio. My patio has a 4 foot wall around it and so I couldn't figure out how he got there.. He was only about 4" tall to the top of his ears, so a really tiny bunny. I have a small hole at the bottom of the wall to let out water and it is about 2" square and it must have gotten in that way. He was scared and was trying to jump up over the wall to no avail, so I thought I would just watch from inside and not go out on the patio any more and in a few minutes he was gone.. How he squeezed through that tiny hole is amazing.. but it was fun to have a tiny visitor for awhile.

My beautiful purple bushes were back this week. Every where you looked while driving or walking you saw vibrant purple. The bushes are loaded with these purple blossoms, this is the one just off my patio. They only last a few days & are all gone now, but they will bloom many more times this summer bringing beauty to the landscape around me.
On Thursday I went to "2" ballgames.. both at the same location on 2 different fields. Coleton is in his first year in the majors. So we started at his game and watched for a few innings and then went across the field to see Logan's game. (Coleton won their game).

Logan's dad Don is his coach and their game was the semi-finals in the minor league playoffs. It was a great game.. Very intense and we could hear the crowds across the field at Coleton's game, so we knew it was intense too. I have always wondered what I would do if a hit ball would come toward me...WELL I got to find out in the last inning of Logan's game. We were sitting behind the 4" fence off of 1st base and one of the boys hit a line drive and it was headed right for "ME", I couldn't move, I knew it was going to hit me and I couldn't move.. I had been nursing my right knee and it was starting to feel better after 3 weeks of meds., ice & heat and the ball was going to hit my KNEE. I put my right hand down to see if I could protect my knee and the ball struck both my right wrist and my knee..OUCH ! both are OK thank goodness.. I guess I now know what I would do if a ball was coming toward me.."nothing".

Each evening about sunset there is a guy in a motorized para-sail floating over the golf course out my back view. He is just about 6 to 10 feet off the ground and floats around for about 10 minutes in the evening.. fun to watch.

I have had deja view this week.. My grand kids are all attending the summer movies designed for kids. The theater puts together a package of 8 movies for a great price for summer entertainment for the kids.. When my kids were little we also went to these movies during the summer time many, many years ago.. So I had great memories of the time I spent in the dark theater during those hot summer days in the southwest.

One of the best things that happened this week is that finally they have working traffic lights at the corner of Deer Valley & 56th Street..YEAH.. We have all be waiting so long for this to happen. Now my blood pressure can calm down and I won't have to stress about getting hit when I go in or out of our complex.

I had switched out my bed linens to summer ones and needed some accent pillows to go on my bed, so I ventured to a couple of my favorite stores to see what I could find.. but found nothing. So I decided to make my own. I bought the pillow forms and some fabric and put these together.. Since my furniture in my bedroom is black and I have other black accents black print was my choice.. All done.. love it..

Next week I have my card classes on Weds. and then on Friday Kristan, Don & I are driving to Colorado for the other reception for Morgan & Trent.. Cool weather and beautiful views are anticipated here.
