Easing into Spring

We had wonderful weather this past weekend. So nice, in fact, that I went for a long walk along the river. It was my daughter’s idea. I’m glad I went. It felt good to get outside in the sunshine and no jacket! There were still chunks of what remains of the ice jam that moved through a week or so ago, and it’ll be another month before the grass turns green and we start seeing buds on trees…but it sure was refreshing. Ahhhh….I love Spring. Everything is new and refreshed.

We celebrated St Patrick’s Day a little early…..on Saturday. We went to the Lansingburgh Veteran’s Club and had a nice time. Music was by Aged in the Hills. They’re wonderful performers…very talented. They were at the Vet’s Club last year, too. They’re folksy, with a nice selection of traditional irish tunes.

Does it look like we’re having a good time?

I’ve made a few cards and another scrapbook page:

Till next time…..Peace.

Think Spring!

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready!

This and that

Nothing much going on in my little corner of the world. I’ve been home from work for a couple of days..with a pain in my back. It’s tough to get old, eh? Back to work tomorrow!

Last week, one of the roller derby girls forwarded an e-mail about a derby girl from Ft Wayne. This girl has an ill child, and his story tugged on our girls heart strings. So yesterday, Mama Honky (that’s me) put a package in the mail to the little guy. It’s a box with several get well cards, several packs of stickers (because what kid doesn’t like stickers), a Dr. Suess Activity book, and a little sketch book for the youngster to put all the stickers. I doctored the front cover and inside cover with patterned paper and a few embellishments. I never took a picture of the sketch book….but here are the cards:

I can’t imagine what it’s like to have a child with a serious illness. Please keep her and her son in your thoughts and prayers.

I haven’t worked on many scrapbook pages lately….so I thought I’d work on a few. I’ve been wanting to create several pages of my Dad as a soldier in the Army. Here are the first two:

The next one is of our kitty named Pepper:

That’s it for now….until next time….Peace
