Sending love

I couldn't resist putting these together.. it was fun & used up small pieces that I had laying around. Mailing them out wasn't an easy task but with alittle more postage who wouldn't love receiving these?

I made a few more Valentine's I hope I will get to share too! Can't decide which is my favorite.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Manly Monday

 The 1SGT and I headed to the family's beach house in Delaware, though it was just the two of us... HE was attending a High Power Rifle Match, about an hour north of where we were.  This meant I would be in charge of meals and entertaining myself for about 10 hours a day. (what a weekend getaway right?) 

With sunrises like this at 0600

Entertainment during the day 

  

And evening walks along the water

 

I didn't feel bad about making 8 Christmas cards, finishing 2 paperback romances,  and purchasing a Chicken BBQ dinner from a church fundraiser. Instead of the "to do list" I had in mind.  

I also made 5 cards for the 1SGT while he is away this week in VA, for training. I snuck them in his briefcase (since he obviously wasn't around) - one for every day this week while he is gone.. I labelled the envelopes and hope he not only takes notice to them but opens them on the promised day.  

So here is Monday: 

  

I went with designing a handcarved tree and added our initials. We have never put our initials in an actual tree but we have done found postcards of trees and done this numerous times. Its fun, its manly and I only had limited supplies with me. {wink wink} 

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY! HAVE A GREAT DAY!  HUG THE ONES YOU LOVE! 

Pursuit of Happiness

When I was with my son Saturday, at his JROTC Raiders scrimmage, it was cold.... it was windy and I am talking 50 mph wind gusts. It was brutal! We adults couldn't believe we were huddled in our cars with the heat on but instead on metal bleachers cheering our sons/daughters on as they competed. The events were a physical fitness test (2-2-2 they call it = pushups for 2 minutes, sit ups for 2 minutes and a 2 mile run), then its off for first aid training and rope bridge. This started at 730am.

When we left, and begun to thaw out, I asked my son, what makes him thrive to do this kind of stuff. Since lets face it - some of those kids wined about the weather, while others did what they needed to do to bear the weather! He tells me, it give him great satisfaction to be a part of something that will prepare him for his future. WOW! That coming from the quiet son is alot! So I thought about it - hes in the pursuit of happiness!
