Happy 4th of July!!!

Yippeeeee! It has been a great weekend so far! Beautiful weather. Great company. What more could a person ask for? We live at the lake so we thoroughly enjoy it when we have great weather!

We have been skiing, tubing, jet skiing, boating, party barging, floating on rafts and enjoying lots of relaxing moments laying in the sun! Enjoying the great company of Family and Friends.

I hope to get some great photos of Jon my hubby slalom skiing and Mark one of our neighbors who barefoot skis and his wife Bobbi Jo who also slalom skis.

And I just get to be the boat driver since my accident 3yrs ago August. Which I still have many difficulties with my knee. I soooo miss skiing & such!! For those of you who don't know...I had been moving a loaded 2 place jet ski trailer slipped on the wet cement floor in the shop. I slipped and fell onto the floor side ways. As I fell the trailer was thrown up. So when it came back down to the ground it dropped from 6ft in the air with force onto my knee. (Keep in mind that it was the little "V" section of the trailer that landed onto my knee-you know the "V"close to where it hooks onto the ball attached to the vehicle.)The Dr.s couldn't do surgery. They said you can't repair ground hamburger...try to imagine sewing ground up hamburger together to make it a slice of meat again. Doesn't work!!! So I get to be a constant boat driver. Yippeeee-NOT!!! It sucks to be the one who NEVER gets to enjoy a ride or two!

Was at the neighbors cabin last night till like midnight. They & a couple friends were making the coolest friggin things I have seen! They took many different sizes of rhubarb leaves, vinyl cement,sand mounds and tubing to create these one of a kind moldings of the leaves. They are going to use them for numerous things like...bird baths, fountains, water features, ashtrays, garden stones, etc. What ever their little hearts desire. They had a few already done. Painted and on copper poles posted into one of their flower gardens...it looked so friggin awesome! Reminded me of Anne Geddes photos of babies and flower pots, cabbage leaves, flowers,etc. You would have to see it to understand how cool. Maybe she will let me take a pic and show you? We'll see!

Working on a couple of scrappin things. Trying to find the motivation to do a couple of page calls. As well as trying to find some inspiration to work with the Trendsetter project #4. It is really neat stuff but nothing I have ever worked with before. I have made a couple of sample things for the Dow Company but have not posted them because they are not to my liking.

Well I need to get busy and I hope you all have an enjoyable 4th of July...stay safe! Neighbor saw someone at 10:30am 4-3-05 getting a field sobriety test. Can you believe that? Be careful all!!

Ro out!
