On the Road

Got Lost

I am sorry I have not been keeping my blog up, but I did have a very good reason. I lost my password. Okay I forgot it. After so many tries you get blocked out, so finally I found my magic book with all my passwords in it. I do admit to age affecting my memory so I make sure I have a book with all my craft passwords etc in it.

Well we soon will be back on the road again. A new adventure and now we have Princess to keep the Gnome company. Although the Gnome is a little ticked at us, as he has been left behind. We must find a better way to fix him, his head keeps falling off.

This summer was a awesome time, we got to meet new relatives at the Island. Uncle Bev's son who was given up for adoption was welcomed into our lives. What a joy to meet him. It is strange that you can see so much of Uncle in him. Along with him he has a beautiful wife Clair and 4 great kids. Welcome to our crazy family.

This past weekend we had a lovely time at our nieces wedding in Dresden Ontario. It is so much fun to remember her as a young lady who I meet 16 years ago. Now she is married and ready to start a new chapter in her life.... So now that I can get into my Blog i will up date it more often

Cheerio

Wow time flys

It is hard to believe it has been almost a year since I blogged. Please forgive me. A lot has happened and life goes on. Well to bring you up to speed. Bob got a part time job at the Casino when we first returned to Ontario. It was a Contract of 6 months at a time. In May they renewed his contract. Now granted it wasn't big money only a few hours a week but it helped to pay for our bike & car insurance.( Yes we are Insurance Poor.).
Anyway the long and short of it all is they didn't renew his contract this time around. The same old story budget cuts.
So now he has become another house husband. With recipe instructions he is becoming the master chief. Let me see he has made a great tasting pot of stew, Chili and home made buns to go with both of these. We made Pizza Lasagna on the weekend and it was really good. Of course he is still the master chief on the Barby cue.
Princess Leia keeps him on the fresh air walk, of course we are lucky to have a dog that has a bladder the size of her little body. No kidding she goes out at 9 pm for her last walk and will stay in bed until 10-11 am. That little girl does not do mornings at all. You try to take her out of bed sooner than she is ready and the look she gives you....WELL....

We were sad to hear that Bobs' daughter Stephanie and her husband separated. It is sad when things like that happen especially when there are children.
Bob's son Mathew went to the Navy Boot Camp at Base Borden during the summer, it was a proud day for his father to see him all dressed in his whites on Graduation Day.

So it is time for me to get into the shower and get ready for another day of the working woman...Sucks I tell you just plain sucks......

Secret Sisters Card

In a couple of clubs I belong to we have secret sisters.

My Red Hat SS wrote down that she liked Sunflowers. So my theme for her this year is going to be All kinds of Sunflowers. Her Birthday is soon coming so I did up this card. I can not post my cards on Facebook as she is a memeber, so I thought I would share them here instead.

I cut the flowers from the Doddlecharms (Shadow) Cricut Cartridge in sizes 4-3 1/2- 2 inches. I shaded them with varoius shades of chalk. I was looking for a big orange button, but as per the Murphy's Law couldn't find one, so I just put a brown circle in the center with a bumble bee on it. I curled the leaves and botton layer outward, and the top 2 layers on the Sunflower inwards. A little poem on the inside and a fancy cut with a Martha Stewart Cutter and Viola!

Bringing The Gnome to work

Once a year employers let parents bring there children to work to see what happens in the work place. Well I don't have young children, so I took The Gnome. We all know how bossy he is so he was right in his element!

Wow My Lady brought me here. Can you imgine
how much mischief I can get into?

Now ladies I am boss today so Keri get to work counting the pills, and Bonnie check those scripts.

I guess Keri is not going to listening to me eh!

Where is my white coat? How come Bonnie and Claudia have one?
I want a white coat!

I do not fight in her ear. My Lady take me away from this human called Keri. She is doing nasty things to me

The Gnome and the Accident

Safety first..... My Lady bungee cords me to her seat.

Take a good look at My Mardi Gras beads as this it the last time you will see them on me. On my long ride, from Highriver to Midhurst which is close to Edmonton they where lost some place.
Oh well My Man just said we will have to go back to New Orleans to get me some new ones.

Yep don't I look good all strapped into my spot. Better than riding in the saddle bag is where I will end up at the end of this trip..

Stopping for lunch. I am so lucky I get to come in to the restaurant with My Man and My Lady

Then we had to get gas, My Lady thought it was a cute sign, told me it reminded her of me sometimes. I am NOY KRANKY, I can be difficult sometimes and get into mischief, but other than that I am just like any other Gnome.....But I am adopted...

Our new trailer. Imagine that we will be sleeping and camping in it...

Hmmmmmm now I can drive this baby. Three wheels, no worry about my balance. yahooooo

Tractor, wow I got to sit up on the seat of this baby. An oldie but a goodie. I wonder if it still runs... How does this Baby start.. let me at it...

Well here I am on top of the Bulldozer which changed my whole life...
Imagine that I was just standing on top of this baby and a gust of wind came along and down I went..

Crash Bang...

well this how I looked when My Lady got all my pieces gathered up.

Boy does my head hurt!

So Dr Debi the Ear Dr and Nurse K8 figured out the surgery needed to put me back together again.
Is this going to hurt....

First we have to put all the pieces back in place to see if My Lady has all of them.

Listening for a some mumbling, Gnomes mutter a lot, aah I hear some nasty words coming out of this Gnome so Dr Debi will proceed with the
Super Glue.....

Yep Good Old Super Glue works wonders

The Dr and her Nurse doing the final touches, he looks good. A few pieces missing but we can re model his nose with clay and give him a paint touch up.
