Goodbye June ~ Hello July

Can you believe it, June is out of here

and July is in?

Where did June go?

This coming week on Monday

my sis in law has made an

appt for Smokey. Smokey is the 

stray that is no longer a stray 

Russian Gray that apparently was dropped

at their place. He is a sweetie and it is 

a given that he used to be an indoor cat.

So....Kim is making an appt and I will go

over with my brothers help and catch him

and take him to the vet to be checked.

Hope is, if Zuzu and Zora (Becky) will allow

it, to move him indoors. 

Lucky cat!

Then on Tuesday I am driving to visit

the grandson's and their other nana is 

riding down with me. That is an hour

and 15 min drive each way.

Wed. I will cut the grass and pack

cause the next day is 

my trip to......

to visit with my son and daughter in law.

When I return from Calif. I will rest

for a few days. I know my body will 

be yelling at me to do that then I will

spend a morning decorating for the school

reunion which will be that night. 

I have a one more of these

to spit out this weekend...yes, I have been

putting it off only cause I have had so

many down days and then several creative

days that I worked on other stuff.

But it will be ready.

From the reunion to the last day 

of July I will have  a couple of 

good weeks for resting.

YAY...

Then I will photograph a very simply

wedding at the Bright Place

(James and Julie's place) 

for Tn Tiny Weddings. 

I gave up shooting weddings cause

my body just could not do it anymore but

this will be so different, these weddings

consist of a bride and groom and guest that

usually don't go over 20 people.

No getting ready shots, not a lot of 

after shots. Simple, easy and my body

will love this!

Between now and then I hope to have

produced a sign for the 

front of the house.

I have been thinking about it and I 

knew I wanted it to be different.

I was thinking on the lines of 

the base looking like this below.

(by the way, these slats came from 

a wooden basket that I broke down and 

put together to paint on).

Only the slats going in the other direction 

and not lining up on each end.

But then I ran across this.

Course it would be more colorful

and I thought that the first 

slat would read,

"Welcome

to"

the next would read,

"the 

Whimsical"

and the last 

"Way"...

or maybe just to slats and 

the first reading that way

with the second reading 

"The" - painted at a slant 

and

 "Whimsical 

Way".

Speaking of The Whimsical Way

what better coaster to have on the 

deck than a clay saucer!

Yes, you know that they will not

go unpainted for long!

What are your plans for the 4th or for July?
