MIA, Beckham, Lily, Friends and Watercolors

 I bet y’all wonder why I am missing in action!!

I am doing better in some areas, numbers are coming up but energy still sucks. I drove  to James and Julie’s for a get together on Sunday. Left here at noon and I left there at five, putting me at home around 620 or so. 
I was out of commission all day Monday. 
Saw a quote on FB that said something in the context of trying to remember what it is like to live and not just survive.? To, I wonder. 

I did muster up energy on Sat. evening to go to dinner with son in law, Amber, DJ and Munchkin Man Beckham. 



Oh what a mess this boy is!!

Been doing a lot of Lily love.



Weather has been bouncing back and forth and with that, she wants mom. 

I only took a couple pics at the get together, I just day and visited with folks. 
Me, Vic, Julie and Lisa. 

I do miss these ladies. 
Course James missed having me to pick on and I miss picking back!

We had BBQ cooked by one of the guest, and a table full of baked taters and fixings! 



 Always good food!

I have been working hard on making watercolor cards for the art guild and the vending machine. What I have now and what I did before puts me at 98. 



  










Got them done but still have to go into Dickson next week to drop them off.
Watercolored some bookmarks also for an upcoming craft show. 
Painting is relaxing to me, soothes me and since I am feeling some better, between cleaning and even some cooking of throw together meals, I have been……..
You got it, painting!

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Coffee Table Redo

Image
Morning all. Couple weeks ago I found this at a neighbors home put out on the side of the  road. Loaded it up in my Prius. It was heavy and LONG.  Standing it up next to me it comes to my shoulders and I am 5'2. My daughter Amber had told me just that week that she needed a coffee table. I think it was meant to be! Basic maple with a traditional  look and a formica top. that you can't do much with. So after checking with my daughter to be sure size would not be a problem I got to work. I built a frame. My thoughts were that if I made a frame and attached wood to that I could slip it right over the top of the existing table top.  Oops....forgot a step... before making the frame I spray painted the base in an ivory color.  Now with that step added in I  move on to what it looks like with the wood attached  to my frame. It slipped right over the top ...

Another Chilling Day - Brothers HOuse

Image
House/dog/bird sitting at my brothers house.  Of course this was Lily's first trip there. Dakota  has house sat with me many times.  Lily was not too sure what to think about Ms. Lola. She loves the ledge at the large windows! My brother has some really pretty sunflowers.....all about to give it up for the summer. Wasp drinking from the hummingbird feeder. Just wondering if these are hot... haha...I will pass on trying them  out though. Bell pepper hiding from  view. Check out the spider web. Loving this shot with the barn in the  background.  This is a form of a bush called Datura stramonium ,  known by the  English names   jimsonweed  or  Devil's snare , the seed pod.  Lily pads. Another bell pepper. Hovering over the pond. My sis in law has been canning.  Messi...
