Still picking up the pieces ~

after last weeks storm ~

6 tornado's were confirmed on Aug 7th, 2013

As promised here's some photos of last weeks storm.

We didn't have any damage ~

but surrounding communities did.

We were just without power for a day.

Boy I must say you don't realize how much you rely on electricity until you don't have any.

Some people and businesses are still dealing with the aftermath.

I was thankful that no one was seriously hurt during this storm.

No one had any warning that this storm was approaching our area.

The lightening was horrendous ~ it was like being on a dance floor with a strobe light blinking.

Until Next Time

Stay safe my friend

Where Oh Where have you Been???

Hello Prim Friends!

Sorry I've been missing again ~ it's been awhile!

I just can't seem to catch up with everything going on.

I've been trying to read blogs but fall behind ~ I guess that's life.

Now it's spring ~ finally ~ and there's so much to do.

I'll try to catch you up with what's been going on in my neck of the woods.

(WARNING)

Picture heavy post!!!

Last time we talked I was going to my nephews wedding.

It was a Beautiful wedding and we had a wonderful time.

Congratulations to Adam and Sarah!!!

May you both have a long life together with much Happiness!

At the wedding they had a anniversary dance with couples being married the longest.

As the years added up the couples dwindled ~ they got to 64 years and there was one couple left on the dance floor ~

Congratulations Aunt Tootie & Uncle Bruce!

Wow 64 years!!!

They asked for any advice ~ Uncle Bruce said: When the wife says something ~

You just say Yes Dear!!!

Spring has finally arrived ~ I hope here in Wisconsin.

I love to go for walks and going for bike rides.

On those journeys there is so much to soak in.

The robin came back and built another nest in our bushes.

No eggs yet ~ but I'll be watching!

The trees are starting to bud ~

and showing signs of new growth ~

and new life ~

The bunnies are out ~

along with the children ~

Oh I just love Spring and all that it brings!

I've also have been busy creating and working on projects ~

You all know that is never ending ~ that's what we love to do.

So I've been working on boards ~ so many to sand ~

because we all need a sign ~

I've also been making dolls ~

Nutmeg ~ TFC Folk Art pattern

Dreaming in Wisconsin!!!

What am I dreaming of here in Wisconsin you ask???

I'm dreaming of Spring of course!!!

This is what I woke up to this fine Wednesday morning ~

It rained all day yesterday and all through the night.

It lightening and thundered and the temps started to drop.

So I woke up to everything covered not with snow but with ICE!

Lets take a look around ~

(click on pics to enlarge to get a better view)

I'm Dreaming of warm spring breezes ~

I'm Dreaming of the smell after a gentle rain ~

I'm Dreaming of fresh linens on the line~

I'm Dreaming of seeing the first buds of life to appear ~

I'm Dreaming of walking barefoot in the soft grass ~

I'm Dreaming of sowing those first seeds ~

I'm Dreaming of warmth from the sun ~

I'm Dreaming of watching the birds build their nests ~

Then my power went out while I was writing this post and everything went dark ~

Oh No ~ the sump pump isn't running ~ after that everything spiraled out of control!

I had to carry buckets of water out of the basement to keep the water from flowing into the furnace,

After a couple of times of going up and down the steps the steps got slippery ~

Yep you guessed it ~

I fell down the steps

I landed face first into the concrete floor

I was soaked ~ the water was pass my ankles

I'm so Thankful I didn't get knocked out ~ because they probably would of put it on the news about some women that drowned in her basement!!!

I managed to crawl up the steps ( it was soooooo dark) and call my son for help.

(Thank-You Michael!!!)

I'm O.K. ~ My face is scraped up, I have a fat lip, my whole right side of my body is bruised along with my pride. Tomorrow will be another day ~ we'll see how I feel then.

We're suppose to get hit with another storm tonight ~ Ugh

There are some people in our surrounding areas that still don't have power ~ I pray for them ~ please be safe.

With all that I'm signing off ~

Until Next Time

Let's all say a prayer

for all the people around the country

that have been hit by some nasty storms today.

Be safe my Friend!

Blessings

It Snowed in Wisconsin!!!

Happy Saturday to Everyone!!!

Yep it snowed again here in Wisconsin!

Yesterday afternoon it started to snow ~ the big sticky snowflakes!

On my way into work ~ late yesterday afternoon. It was slippery and there were some cars in the ditch. I could only go about 35 mph or I would start sliding.
