Prom Dress Fitting...

Couple of inches off the bottom and a little on the sides..... One step closer to being DONE with Prom preparation. Earrings, hair appointment and mani/pedi are the finishing touches. OH, and I have to order boutonniere for Dallas. Whew.....

Interview today...

Interview went well today. Now I wait, to see what happens.... Keeping fingers crossed that the perfect job is out there for the taking!

All clean!

Another day outside again! Cleaned front and back patios. Danny cut trees, so we can see more of the lake from the house. Two laborers cleaned ALL the grass from my flower beds. Cleaned concrete driveway in front of the house. Everything looks wonderful!!! A few photos below... (Again, can't turn the underline off, grrr)

Front walkway clean, check!

The one spot that I just can't keep the weeds and grass out of!

Please note, you can see a little more of the lake now.....

Cactus on the back patio table

Everything looks beautiful! I'll have a BIG reveal of the lake view....as soon as a few more trees come down. Exhausted again....

Texas Stadium....

Going

Gone

In just a matter of seconds, it was all a pile of rubble. I've enjoyed one Cowboys game at Texas Stadium, many playoff games, and even a couple of state championships. Celina was the last High School Football Team to play on this field, and Colby was on the field! I agree with those interviewed last night on the news, it will be very strange to not see the Stadium as I drive down 35.....

OMG....I can barely move!

Walking just a bit "stove up" at the moment.... Let me summarize my day. Up at 6:30am. Coffee, search internet for jobs (applied for one), off at 7:30:am to hit Crump's Nursery semi annual sale. Bought 13 flats of flowers plus 3 additional potted ones. Back home by 8:30 and hit the flower beds. Had everything planted by 11:30am. Shower, off with Colby to get a burger. Back and out to a big clump of cedar trees behind our barn. Went all the way around it with my clippers. You can now see thru the clump. Made 9 trips in the Kubota, to the old brush pile. Back in for another shower and I am exhausted! If we do wind up having to sell our house, at least someone will come down the driveway and say WOW, look at that! I did when we first bought the property, but it was because of the lake, not the flowers or trees being trimmed! I bet I pass out early tonight.

Colby spent the day running around with Tyler. Chelsey has had a "girls day" with friends and is at a Birthday party now, and then spending the night with Shelby. Dallas is spending time with his parents tonight and has a combine tomorrow.

Danny.....well he's got the chain saws in the shop in anticipation of picking up a couple of laborers on Monday....the plan is to clear out the fence line behind the house, so that we have a full view of the lake. Also having the carpet cleaned. I am anxious for my interview on Tuesday. I have to get back to work, this manual labor is going to kill me!

What a beautiful day!

Friday started out a bit chilly, but ended perfectly....Starbucks, Calloway's Nursery, Crumps Nursery, home to work in flower beds, picked kids up from school, dinner with Danny and asleep in recliner before 10pm.

Didn't buy a thing at Crump's, because TODAY is their semi annual sale....They open at 8am, off to get my shoes on and ready to weed my way thru tons of people to find just the right flowers for the yard! Photos to follow, I'm sure.

XO,
