5-min Crafting Moment

I spotted this cute idea somewhere on the internet or a magazine... I forget where... but I thought, I can do that! easy peasy if you pleasy!

 cute, don't ya think?

Well here is mine in a golden color... I even added a little tendril like you would see on a vine.

I am ready,,, how about you? 

!st Dinner.....

OK so we have been living amongst chaos for the past 2 weeks,,, but I just had to add some normalcy to our world,,, and invited our dear friends, Pam and Ray for dinner.... yes, I found enough pans, dishes and wine glasses to pull it off!

They brought me the lovely plant.... I brought the wine...  :>)
Tonite we had Brie cheese & crackers then onto Raviolis, veggies and a Amaretto cake topped with Nutella & whipped cream... oh Yum!  I may not be 'Martha' but I can pull together a yummy dinner in the midst of trying to move in to our home.... by the way, tomorrow our new carpet gets installed Yippee!....Then we can really start to unpack and get settled in! Finally!
Happy Wednesday!

Meet Hairy

Meet Hairy... my latest rescue,,, for my friends who know me, know that I will m iss lunch dates,, and cut my shopping time short to rescue an animal... well today it was Hairy... Gary spotted the tarantula slowing crossing the side road to the Post Office,,, I said stop,,, jumped out of the car and scooted 'Hairy' across to the other side... then I ran back to the car grabbed my camera to take a photo of him... Now I have heard that tarantulas can jump,,, I don't know if that is true,,, but if he had,,, my friends in Colorado would have heard me scream.... lol! SO what did you rescue today?    :>)

FYI,,, October 26 is the annual Tarantula Fest up here in Coarsegold,  ya'll come visit!

Bragging Oma....

In Germany, where I was born, I was raised to call my German grandparents, Oma and Opa... so naturally when my daughter and her husband adopted 3 wee ones,,, I was now the Oma....

 Sweet Leilei just turned 4... OMG! where did the time go?

 Jaja and her trusty side kick, Bella,,, make a great pair... sort of the Dynamic Duo!

And poor Aideman... he has to take power naps to re-store his energy to keep up with his 2 sisters...

To say I love my grandkiddos is an understatement... I love them "to the moon and back"....
It's great to be an Oma!

And the Fun Begins!

Now for the fun stuff,,, the stripping of wall paper, the removal of that old fashioned 'popcorn' ceiling,,, new paint, new carpet as well as new light fixtures, faucets and ceiling fan... and if that were not enough... removing trees, shrubs and weeds from the property... oh what fun!

 it almost looks like something out of a Sci-fi flick!

 maybe we should rent the house out for Halloween.. as a Mystery House! lol!

As much as we hated to, we had to have the oak tree cut down,,, it was a safety issue... it was 10feet from the house, very overgrown and was getting ready to split which could do major damage to our house if we had a bad storm. But we do have plenty of Oak trees on our property....
I will be glad when all the renovation is done and we can settle in for the Winter....
Do feel free to roll up your sleeves and come play....  :>)
