My Life - Pictures of the week

Time Flies! - Here we are again at the start of another week and I'm a day late for sharing,   My Life - Pictures of the Week.  It was just a BUSY week and with yesterday being Father's Day I waited until this morning to get my pictures ready to share.  Here they are without further ado.  No that is not my hair (I wish I had such curly hair)...Last Sunday evening Greta and Coleen were over and she was playing with Coleen's hair when she happened to notice something seemed odd about her hair.  That's when she discovered that Coleen had cut her hair.  It seems that while mommy was busy she found some scissors and went into the bathroom and cut her hair.  We ask her why she cut her hair and her reply was,  "Because it was just too, too, too Long!"  -  Then I ask her what she did with the hair  she cut off and she said, "Threw it in the garbage."  I'm not sure her mom wanted to cry or laugh about it.  The hair here is what we took off the back because that was the only part Coleen couldn't reach.  She actually got her hair pretty even on the sides as you can see in my next photo.  Not bad for only being 4 years old.  We've told her though that from now on if she thinks her hair is getting to long she is to tell mommy and mommy will take her to the Beauty Shop for a haircut!

This next picture is another photo of our cat, Harley.  He loves to lay in the bathroom sink.  He's so huge he barely fits but doesn't he look regal here.  Coleen was playing with him so that is why all his "toys" are laying up on the sink.  We have 4 other cats so eventually I'll be posting pictures of them too as I snap interesting shots of them.  

This past week was fun because we had a chance to meet a new family member.  My nephew, Michael who is in the Army and stationed in NC right now got married last year and we were not able to attend the wedding so we had never had the chance to meet his new wife.  They had some leave time and traveled up this way to visit family.  They were able to stop in for just about an hour (not near enough time) for a quick visit.  I took this picture of the two of them in my mom's front yard.  Michael hates to have his picture taken and usually makes a silly face but he cooperated for me and this is the result.  His wife, Kacie is really sweet and very easy to talk with.  I hope they will be able to come back again and stay a little longer as I really enjoyed visiting with them.

Have you ever seen such a messy face!  Right after Michael and Kacie left we drove out to Klicker's Produce store and picked up yet another 1/2 flat of strawberries and some fresh cherries.  Coleen loves both fruits and as you can see she had a grand time eating them.  Reminds me of clown make-up for some reason!

Wednesday when I went in to get my Allergy shot as I was getting ready to leave my niece, Krissy walked in so I spent a little time chatting with her and I was joking with her about her ever getting a "ring" from her boyfriend, Eric when she just popped out with the news that she was getting one on Friday.  I was so excited but she made me promise not to tell her Grandma so I had to keep it a secret until Saturday.  Believe me that was not easy as I have never been one to be able to keep exciting news from my mom but I did it!  They were able to come over and show off her ring on Saturday so I took this picture of them.  I took one of the ring as well but alas I am so not a great photographer and it was to blurry to really see how lovely her ring is.  No date yet for the wedding but we are still happy and excited for them.  Finally I leave you with a picture of the finished flower bed at our new church.  My mom and I planted the flowers on Saturday and our first service there will be this coming Sunday (June 28th).  You can see the weedy looking bed in this post:  http://faithartistry.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-life-pictures-of-week_14.html - I think you'll agree this looks so much better.  That's it for this week.  I hope you have enjoyed my little photo journey of my life in pictures.  Have a great day.

My Life - Pictures of the week

Hello Friends and Visitors - Welcome to yet another week of, My Life - Pictures of the Week.  I must warn you that this week some of the photo's are not the best of quality.  I have a really simple HP Camera and it doesn't take the best of pictures plus a few of those being shown I did not take so the person behind the camera is responsible for the quality of those photo's.

One of my favorite things about summer here where I live is fresh produce that is locally grown.  My favorte fruit of all time is grown here in our valley...Strawberries so rich and delicious.  I bought my first half flat of the summer (we're on the 2nd now) and made Strawberry shortcake right away. YUM!!!                                                                                                

My week was pretty quiet really but I did have a Stamp Club meeting that I had to prepare for and on top of that I was recovering from some kind of summer sinus/respirtory infection so I didn't feel real well most of the week.  I took a few flower photo's.  The red lily is in my mom's flower bed and the Clematis is on my side of the driveway.  That thing went CRAZY blooming this year.

Saturday my mom and I helped to weed out the flower beds in front of the new building our church will be moving into in a couple of weeks.  We worked for about 3 hours there yesterday (Boy was I sore later).  We then bought flowers and will be planting them this coming week.  I'll have a picture of the flowers next week hopefully.

I'm going to leave you with a picture of one of the cards we made at the stamp club meeting.  We used the Friends 24-7 stamp set.  The DP is Parisian Breeze.  
Maybe this week will be more exciting.  I hope you enjoy my photo's and don't find them to be to boring.

My Life - Pictures of the week

This past week was certainly interesting.  It started off on Monday with our dog, Angel going out to get a hair cut because we just haven't had the time to keep her properly brushed/combed.  Her fur was matted so the groomer ended up having to shave her.  Her she is with her new look.  She looks pretty silly.  Coleen expected her fur to grow back right away and was really surprised when she came the following morning to discover that Angel still looked, "funny".   Next up are a couple of more shots of some of our flowers - I say "our" flowers because my mom lives next door to Mike and I and we have a flower bed in the back where we park that is between both houses.  These are a couple of shots from that bed.  My mom takes care of this bed.  These shots were taken before the horrible Thunderstorms arrived later in the week and pretty much beat most of the plants to death.   The next two pictures are my husband, (Mike) and our Pastor (Dan) hard at work painting in the Sanctuary of what will soon be our new church.  We've been meeting in our local city Park in a small building there for about a year now and have pretty much outgrown it so now we've found and rented a much larger building but it needs a lot of work done to make it presentable.  Plans are to move in on June 28th so they have their work cut out for them the next couple of weeks.

Finally a couple of pictures of my niece, Krissy who just graduated from Nursing school today.  We are very proud of her as she has worked really hard to finish school while also holding down a part time job.  Now she faces the challenge of taking the State Boards but I know she'll do well and will make a wonderful nurse.  So that's it for what's been happening here this past week.  I'll be back next week with another installment of my life in pictures.

My Life - Pictures of the week

I am starting something new this week called, My Life - Pictures of the week. I hope to post every Sunday/Monday with photo's of my life.

First up today is a picture of Coleen that I took wearing a new outfit that Grandma just had to buy for her.

Next is a photo of our cat, Harley in one of his silly poses.

I'm following that with a trio of flower photo's from my flower garden.

After that is a picture of my niece Megan, her little boy Timothy and my mom. My niece is the one who had Type 2 Lymphoma while she was pregnant and underwent Chemo treatments. Her little boy is 19 months old now and at present my niece is over a year Cancer Free. They were up for a visit this past week and it was so fun to see how he's grown and how well my niece looks.

Lastly is another picture of Coleen this time she is trying to make Harley smile.

I hope you enjoy this little journey into my life and the things that I love.
