May Blossomed

It has definitely  arrived! Summer! I think Missouri just skipped over Spring. We have suddenly hit flip flop and swimming weather (for those inclined). 97°... locusts blooming and irises... 

As soon as possible (maybe this week) a carpenter is coming to fix a more accessible front door and to install new countertops in the kitchen. I am going for butcherblock... and I've ordered navy chalk paint with dark wax for the lower cabinets. These cabinets are vintage 1956 from Sears and Roebuck catalog! (And they look it!) I'm doing the painting, which is the main reason not to do the upper ones... 
Well, just checking in... work is coming along for the final wedding journal.. They've been super fun to do. And these were not my usual style. 
Then I made some tags that were more frilly... 
Have a good week!

Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner

Busy weekend... We binge watched the series finale of Ozark... [no spoilers from me...] I decided to rearrange the living room just a little bit. And I finally yielded to inevitability and dragged out my walker to help me transfer from my office chair to bed or my recliner..my office chair has no back and I installed rubber wheels that roll pretty fair for six weeks. Then my son puts on more... this last stupid set has go-go lights that flash as I roll absolutely everywhere.... like those teenager running shoes... I will not make that choice again. 
Sitting here wrapped in my blanket... I've become an early riser!  In fact, I just had a little cold, thin piece of Parmesan chicken with mustard... I always think of the health pin we tried to earn....Was it Kennedy's 9 point plan? We had to report what we ate for breakfast. I truthfully babbled we'd had apple pie. The teacher was pretty up tight about how wrong we were. I insisted my mother had to henceforth make oatmeal, juice from scratch, bacon, etc...and I dunno what... That blessed teacher never asked us again... lol...
I was commissioned to do some journals for our Zoom Bible Study... We are finishing a 30 lesson study on Matthew... 
I have some wedding journals to make this week... and some cards...
I had sent a book to a friend who moved to Texas. I mailed it on Valentine's Day, and she just got it last week? Wow! I'd say it got stuck under a shelf or something! I started a movie about that, SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED, but it was turning sad... so I bailed out on it... 
Finally... take a look at my spades hand! My son and I play almost every day... I had to bid big on this... wouldn't you?
