Finding a moment

After traveling 300-something miles to Great Falls (one way) every weekend in May and the first weekend in June, and working and making my step-daughter's wedding quilt to get to the quilters by the middle of June......I'm here.

I have found a moment to tell we are good and I am alive.  My Mom, Hailey and I went to the PBR bullriding Friday night.  Then my sister, mother-in-law, mom, husband, daughter and I went last night.  It was great!

I wish I had taken my camera and taken all kinds of pictures for you, but I didn't.  I know, whip me with a wet noodle!

I have to be quick because in ten minutes I have to go pick up my daughter from swimming.

Mom's Day Flowers

Then I have to make to bindings for two quilts and get them sewn on.  Never mind everyone has been using them (including me) without the bindings on!  :)

I'll be back again..........

Cowboy Chocolate

In all of our traveling this summer, we managed to spend a day in Miles City with my family.  I got to see my new baby niece again, visit Mama niece and my sister and Mother.

We went into town and did a little bit of shopping and I found some of the coolest things.  Unfortunately I could not buy them all. 

I did buy these though (among other items).  I thought these were just awesome.

They are chocolate bars.

They are fun.......

....and they were good!  I only had one, my husband and daughter had the others.  Mine had the caramel in it, very good!

I picked these up at the Discovery Pond in Miles City.  I'm sure other people have them also.

Aren't they just cool?!  Wait, did I just say cool.  Never mind, I liked them a lot.

How to Bottle Faith

My daughter comissioned an old perscription bottle (viatimin D) to bottle a little faith tonight.  For those of you who are not sure how to do this, here are her instructions she gave me.

1.  Open the bottle.
2.  Put the bottle up to your mouth.  (Keep the lid ready....)
3.  Say the word Faith and blow a little air into the bottle.
4.  Then quickly place the lid on the bottle before it can escape.

That my friends, is how you reuse and old perscription bottle to bottle up a little faith.

Just so you know.

In my Brain.....

I haven't posted in so long I thought I'ld do a stream of thought. 

I leave tomorrow on a small trip and we just got back from Easter visit to SD.  Which was wonderful, but a LONG drive for such a short stay.  On the road again, without husband this time, and too much to cram into one weekend over there too.  I need to get all those O&M's together.  Did we pick windows for A.T. job yet?  I should check on the caulk for the windows out at L.  Did I call that Actioneer in GF for the meeting Sunday?  Crap....I need to do laundry TONIGHT!  Should pack the truck tonight....have to finish quilting that baby blanket on my machine first.  Did I call Crestwood?  Yes, left a message.  remeber to put the paperwork for Bonnie in my bag for GF.  At least I managed to get groceries this week.  Did I take something out for dinner?  Oh, yeah, I did.  What the heck am I going to make with chicken?  Have to get Hailey soccer socks.  Crap she has 3 games next week!  GS meeting next week.  Need to call 3 more parents today.  Does Mark have food for this weekend?  Yes - duh - got groceries this week!  Need to get money to go to GF this weekend.  Need to lay out one of those blocks before I leave tomorrow.  E-mail Hailey's teacher about me picking her up from school early.
Ugh- have to work on that aprtment floor plan.  And....clean up the PS steel plan.  I know I'm forgetting something about the L. job......  E-mail the crane guy about when the new chain will be here.  What am I ging to do with my Mom?  Should I go back over and just help her start packing? No, might make her mad.  Oh, I don't know.  What should we get Sidney for her wedding gift?  I wish the wind would quit blowing, my allergies are nuts.  Hmmmmm.......  Shit.......call the inspector to verify next Thursday!

Gotta go......

Well anyway, here is nice picture for you to look at.....Mark got a large fish a few weeks ago.

Aaaaaahhhhh SUN!

So the sun finally put out the warmth this last weekend!  Yeah!

This was my seat A LOT this weekend!  (Nevermind the broom, I wasn't using it.  Today.)

This is our new neighbor friend.  Isn't he cute?!?!  I do not know his name but he is a sweetheart!

Always.....
