Scrap a Day, May 8th

[pawprints]

Hey Cherries. In the mist of a thunder storm right now. Some really loud thunder and big flashes of lightning. Luckily the girls went out to potty and came in just as it started and the heavy downpour came. We are back up in my room right now and they went back to sleep. I have a layout on my table that is basically done that I did yesterday am I’m going to start on another one today. My cleaning ladies come later this afternoon so I have some picking up to do first and I won’t be able to work in my room while they are here. But other than that I’m good to go.

Have a great day Cherries.

It's raining here today too, although I haven't heard any thunder. 

After the discussion of my roof the other day, I decided we should eat our takeout food up their last night. We got a beautiful sunset over center city:


and, in the other direction (Chris -  this image is for you) the small horizontal line is Citizen's Bank Park. And we were eating from the Venezuelan takeout place around the corner that a lot of the players eat at and occasionally they cater at the park, and they have become good friends with some of the players, especially Rojas. We pick up food from there all the the time and have never seen a Philly player there. 



On another topic,  47 people did step 3. Wow. I haven't counted steps 1 and 2 yet. And 44 people are eligible for sprinkles but that will be happening later.  You ladies are amazing.

The other exciting activity for my day will be laundry.

Have a great one!

Well, we do have snow outside this morning and it is 37* out. And the wind is blowing like crazy! I am so done with all this!  On another crazy note- suppose to be into the 70’s this  weekend.  Maybe planting will happen this weekend!  We shall see.  D D and I are off to a nursery on Sat. For their potted plant class.  Good to have some mother-daughter time before Mother’s Day!  
 
It’s cleaning day for me!  Vacuum, bathrooms, change the bed.  Then maybe creating time!
My room seems to be in more of a mess after yesterday, then it was all weekend!

I was up at 5 this morning…we had some light rain and now we have sunshine! I’m at our favorite coffee house waiting for Katie. Then some errands and home to scrap.

I guess we had thunderstorms much earlier but I slept through it. I guess being mostly deaf in one ear and wearing an eye mask allows me to sleep through those storms. Good luck starting on that second layout today.

Hey Cherries I've been up for a few hours now but I guess the storm woke me up lol I've had breakfast and coffee and meds but I feel a nap coming on haha! I've already played a couple games lol!
I've been crafting up a storm and expect to do more of that today!

What a beautiful sunset and awesome views, how cool to be able to spot Citizen's Bank Park! I think I mentioned yesterday that I decided to keep the fish tails because I prefer the look of them.

Good morning cherries! Well, we all survived Day One of Project. Yesterday was probably one of the busier days as we also had the electrician doing his thing. He was in/out, and had to remove the lights we had in and around the carport as well as moving the ac adapter several inches. The girls did pretty well, all things considering. Their new puzzle toys kept them busy, which allowed me to work. DH is coming home in the middle of the day to see how things are going and if I need anything or what have you.

Today is just the contractors. They will be pouring concrete in a corner where its lower than the rest of the "floor" and start framing.

I wouldn't want to be out there though. Ugh....we received our first Heat Advisory Alert last night for today. Excessive heat index 110 plus. YUCK. On top of the haze from the Mexican/Central American agricultural fires. They do these every year, at this time, but we don't always get the smoke. But this year, we are, so I'm not going on my walks until it all goes away. It might be an irritant and not an allergen, but it still messes up with my sinuses, which in turn mixed with the heat gives me a headache. And of course, if I'm not careful, turns intoa  migraine....which it did yesterday evening. But I'm all better now. Last night's migraine was probably due to ALOT of other factors.

Work wasn't too bad yesterday, thank goodness. Today, we shall see. I do have a virtual work-related conference today from 10am to 6pm. Luckily what pertains to me starts at 11:30am and wraps up at 4:30pm. I'll have my laptop opened to the sessions while I work from my desktop computer.

Already washed bedsheets and put them back on. While I drank my coffee, I worked on my layout I started yesterday for Laura's Recipe Challenge. It's about 75% done. Maybe I can finish it later, who knows. If not, definetly tomorrow morning!

TTYL cherries!

Awesome photos!  I LOVE the progressive challenge!  I wish it was more than once a year, lol.

I was up real early.  3:45 am.  Husband had heard sirens to our West last night; guess that mess passed us by/went around.  Of all things, the first Tuesday of every month is siren testing.  It is sunny right now, but more storms may show up.

Might go make another cup of coffee soon, but our beagle is wedged next to me at present.

So glad that it is in the works, finally!  A little inconvenience and a big reward.

Good morning Cherries, just stopping by quickly.  I am off today, taking YDS for a couple medical tests this afternoon. If you are the praying kind, please add him to your prayer list today. This mama is a nervous wreck.  Hopefully will be scrapping tonight after all goes well.

Bad day yesterday but compared to others, I really shouldn’t complain. On a great note, or DGD Paige FaceTimed  us to show us her graduation gown and the different tassels she will wear. She is graduating with honors from Ole Miss on Saturday. They will be streaming a few different ceremonies so we will be watching from the comfort of our home.

We were supposed to have hair appointments this afternoon but she texted me late yesterday to see if we could go Saturday morning since her dad had passed that morning and she had to work on arrangements. I tried to convince her we could wait a few weeks but she wanted us to come Saturday. We’ve become very fond of her and maybe she needs the distraction.

I started on a layout yesterday but I was having problems printing but finally got two pictures printed.
