Baby Kadi our youngest daughter back when! A friend Tiffany's baby

Well this is about the only Art I have done for awhile other then a few Jams. Tiffany saw my drawings and handed me a pic of her little girl!I drew this while Ron was in surgery!I finished it up at home later!the Pic of Kadi i did on the way to the VA for his checkup and while we were waiting!I also finished it at home!Sorry about the marks in the lower corner must be something on my scanner!

Us Artsy girls are getting together Thur. at Precious Treasure's cropping room! Amy the owner is really nice! This will be great as it was my turn to have it and I will take some cheese dip and tortilla chips to snack on!Hopefully I will get back some creativity!

update!

Ron is doing real well so far considering surgery was about 3 hours longer then they planned,they had to graft some bone to his hip,which is cabled wrapped,he had to have a couple units of blood,also.He tested positive on his nasal swab for MRSA,although it is not active,and because the surgery took so long the consultation was over the phone,so I really didn't get to talk one on one with the doctors,I still haven't,as they come in the morning!It is a 50 mile trip down there and I don't drive in Omaha,so my youngest daughter and I went today,and my parents took me Thurs.Anyway I was freaking over the MRSA and was asking the nurse what they were doing to take care of it ,she didn't know much,but the doc's told Ron it wasn't active so they didn't need to give any harsh antibiotics at this time.Yes it was an ordeal so far ,but as soon as his plumbing starts to work he can come home!He was already joking when we first seen him,but looked so much better today!Thank you for those that kept us in your thoughts and prayers!I really appreciate it!

Been awhile!

Last Christmas Mom and I started to work on A scrabble tile necklace for My Great niece Kayla,we finished it and Mom took it to her a while back,this shows the front and back Of Kayla's and the Necklace I made from a scrabble tile swap i did on an atc's site I belonged to. I still have three left and plan on doing a blue,green theme with them. These are fun because you can add trinkets of all kind to them as you go!

Well we are less the 2 days away from Ron's surgery,so if it takes me awhile to find time to blog don't be surprised!It all depends on how badly I need to get some time away from him and how crabby he gets!lol!He was feeling good today even though he can't take any painkillers or tylenol until aftewards now.Don't worry my whip is always close!lol!If you feel inclined to say A prayer for him I would be grateful! our 2 youngest Kadi and Cody are taking off from work for the surgery ,so now Mom and Dad won't have to spend all that time setting around with me!I will be glad of the company!Thanks for checking in on my blog!

The Aftermath!

Howdy From Dry Gulch Colorado,As you can see Mom And I might have to make that our new address for awhile! I was holding that Rock up fine until Ron insisted he and Dad could do it better! I refrained from taking pictures of that disaster,Ok so maybe Mom and i pushed the Rock a little from the other side!Dad fared better,but that didn't keep Mom from nailing that coffin shut anyway.Ron as you can see croaked from that falling rock.Mom and I couldn't get our stories straight so that old Sherrif put us in the slammer!They burried Dad and Ron in the new cemetary in Dry Gulch!


Seriously we all came out in one piece and had a good time,Mostly it was me getting out and taking pics,while everyone else stayed in the car in the shade!

Vacation

Sorry This is are only chance to get a mini vacation in . We have a family re-union the 5th and we might take a couple of days and go out to Colorado and see some sights!Ron can't do a lot of walking so we will mostly take the scenic route and drive!Mom and Dad are going along.Lets just hope we don't all kill each other before we get back!lol! Seriously I wanted a little fun before being house bound with Ron during his recovery!By the time one hip gets recovered it will be time for the other,so it will be a long slow fall and winter!

Last journal page Finished!

Well this is the last of my journal Pages!yeah!One gal dropped out,so I am done!Well i took a little time away from my Art,as we had so much going on! We had Bubby again Thursday night and karaokee,Friday night!It was cold out on the patio of the bar we played,it is right on a private Lake!Sat. night we had A wedding!Ron was so kind and let me bow out!Weddings run about 6-8 hours for us!He was Lucky though and got Home and in Bed before Midnight.He got to visit with A lot of his Classmates at the Wedding,so he enjoyed the night!This summer is all booked up for us,so I probably won't get to go back Home this year on the Fourth of July again. It is so hard for Ron to walk anyway and we usually walk up and down the Carnival to see some of our friends and my old classmates!I hope his hips hold out until August!

Artsy Gals

Well it's been awhile! Our broadband has not been working right for about 6 weeks,so hopefully it got fixed today!

This was the Art frames we did at our last art get together at Vicki C's house. Only Stephanie and I made it. It was A fun laid back day and we mostly talked!We lined the three frames up and took pictures,but I just didn't care for the silver frame so I repainted mine white with some green paint and brown ink to add some color after I got home,I also added the pink bow!Vicki had this pic of my Grandmother,Mother,Baby me and my other 2 sisters and brother in my goodies to use and the challenge was to use only from the stash she gave us. Ok so I cheated and used the verse from the goodies Stepanie shared and the bow from Vicki's Valentine goodies she sharedlast time here!Vicki was telling us the deal she got on these pretty pearl stickons,and when we tried to take them off the paper and put them on our art they fell apart!She laughed and said maybe it wasn't a good deal!Anyway we got them on as well as we could!Ok so none of the rooms in my house are pink!lol!Well anyway it was a supper fun day!Thanks Vic!
