Bicycle.....Boat?????

Why not get out of the house & enjoy the beautiful sunshine.....take a drive to Historic Snohomish.....where you can enjoy wonderful shops full of great finds & fabulous food!
If driving isn't your thing you could ride your bike or.............

You could take a boat....although not so sure how that might go!!!



But however it is you decide to go just get there!!!! Timi will be at Annie's selling tickets for the bus ride to the Farm Chicks show!!!! This bus ride is the only way to go...NO BIKES....NO BOATS....just a bus filled with junk queens headed to one of the best junkin shows around!!!

Be sure and tell them I sent you....don't miss out on this great opportunity!!!

Happy Junkin'

~EASTER GREETINGS~

I found quote sometime back and thought that it was very fitting for this glorious holiday..............

It is SO the little things that make up our days, isn't it? Of course there are the BIG things and the in-between things. But I am most grateful for the little things. The things that we do because it is what we do. The day in and day out things-the everyday things. The things that we have done a zillion times before, knowing that they will need to be done a zillion times again. The repetitive solo dance that we do as we twirl through a single day. And when I get fussy and don't want to do some of these things I sternly remind myself how lucky I am to be alive and able to do them. And then I feel grateful again.

note: wonderful clip art came from www.graphicsfairy.blogspot.com she always has so many wonderful things to share

SHE'S AT IT AGAIN!

*~~HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!~~*

I started out this morning with great intentions to hit the gym..knowing that the day would be filled with wonderful treats that just needed to be eaten! But something pulled me to the computer to check Craig's List and low and behold there was a yard sale....so since my window of "free" time this morning was an hour I thought I would skip the workout and head for the sale....should have hit the gym!!! Wasn't much there but at least it was a clean sale no garbage but no treasures either.

I figured naked men on Valentines Day was a perfect fit so here is a picture of the men in my life. This was taken a couple years back (not sure if all three of them can still fit in the shower) but I still think it is a sweet picture and worked perfect for this post.

Make sure that you tell those special people how much they mean to you.

Shouldn't every day be Valentines Day? Well maybe we would have to forgo the chocolates although that would make more of us to love!!

Hope everyone enjoyed the special day!

"A BEACH OF A DAY"

WELL ENOUGH LOLLY GAGGING. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT TO SNEEK OFF TO THE BEACH FOR A WEEK THIS LATE IN THE GAME........WELL WHAT WAS I THINKING????? USUALLY IF WE GO TO THE BEACH IT IS IN EARLY JULY. SO THERE ARE A FEW MORE WEEKS TO GET HOME & GET BUSY!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE LAWN, GARDEN, FLOWERS AND NOT TO MENTION THE WEEDS LOOK LIKE AFTER BEING LEFT FOR A WEEK??? IT'S NOT A PRETTY SITE!!

THE BEACH WAS FABULOUS! GREAT WEATHER AND FUN TIME SHARED WITH FAMILY....OK NOT EVERY WAKING MINUTE WAS TO BE TREASURED (THREE SMALL CHILDREN CLAYSON 9, BROCK 8 & GARRETT 2) TRYING TO GET ALONG ALL DAY & NIGHT AND THEN YOU THROW IN THE 40 ISH YEAR OLD CHILD (MARK) AND YOU HAVE THE MAKINGS OF SOME PRETTY GOOD TIFFS. GARRETT WAS NOT VERY SAND CASTLE WORTHY HE HAD MORE FUN STOMPING ON THE BOYS CREATIONS WELL ALMOST CREATIONS. HE WOULD GO OUT TO THE "BIG SWIMMING POOL" AKA OCEAN AND GET HIS WATERING CAN FULL OF WATER TO PACK DOWN THE SAND SO THE BOYS COULD GET THEIR CASTLES MADE ONLY TO COME UP AND TROMP THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE MASTERPIECES!!

GARRETT WASN'T TOO SURE OF THE BIG WAVES IN THAT SWIMMING POOL IN THE BEGINNING BUT BOY WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS HE WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL. LOVED THE COLD WATER AND ALL THE BIRDIES!

MY MOM, SISTER & I HAD FUN SHOPPING......THERE ARE SO MANY FUN PLACES TO LOOK. WE WERE EVEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO STUMBLE ON THE ANNUAL OUTDOOR VENDOR SALE AT FARMHOUSE FUNK JUST OUTSIDE OF ASTORIA. THERE ARE SO MANY FUN SHOPS IN CANNON BEACH I THINK OUR FAVORITE THOUGH IS SEASAME & LILLIES. ALTHOUGH THE BAKERY AND FINALLY AFTER TRYING ALL THE COFFEE SHOPS IN TOWN TO GET A GOOD LATTE WE WELL ACTUALLY POPPY (MY DAD) FOUND WERE CLOSE RUNNERS UP. AND CERTAINLY NOT TO BE MISSED IS THE PACIFIC CREST COTTAGE IN GEARHART IT IS ALWAYS SURE TO HAVE A TREASURE OR TWO. JOY HAS SUCH A GREAT SHOP AND IS THE NICEST LADY!

UNTIL NEXT YEAR! THAT'S ABOUT AS LONG AS IT IS GOING TO TAKE TO GET RID OF ALL THE SAND I KEEP FINDING!!!

JUST A COUPLE MORE WEEKS!! BETTER GET YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW OR SHOULD I SAY "EMPTY TRUCKS IN A ROW" WITH THE VENDORS I HAVE LINED UP THIS YEAR IT IS A SHOW NOT TO BE MISSED! .....WILL TRY AND GET SOME SNEEK PEEKS IN THE COMING DAYS.....NOTICE I SAID TRY!!


KEEP COOL!
LESLEE

OK.....ARE THE DAY'S GETTING SHORTER OR IS IT JUST MY IMAGINATION???????!!!! DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE ARE ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY OR NIGHT FOR THAT MATTER!

WE HAVE BEEN BUSY WITH OUR BARN PROJECT.....IT WILL BE FABULOUS WHEN IT IS DONE! HOPEFULLY BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR IT WILL BE COMPLETE AS FOR THIS YEAR IT WILL BE READY ENOUGH TO USE FOR THE SHOW BUT SHE WILL BE A LITTLE ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES! OH WELL WHAT WOULD LIFE BE LIKE WITHOUT ANY PROJECTS????
