Well ladies, almost time to call it a night...finished grass and it's after 8pm..have the picture hung in the hallway so not a complete waste..just came in and the gentleman down the street that I commissioned on Fri. to do a frame for the outside art project I want to do next weekend brought it over..more work to do..not sure what color it should be - green with gold trim might get lost amongst the trees, blue with gold trim might be ok or stain and painted trim...don't know...will order 2 - 10ft. 4x4's and 6 bags of cement..if I can get the frame painted, maybe Friday morning it will be up waiting for shrubs and my painted chairs..now on the hunt for huge trailing hanging basket for the centre..anxious to see it done....

Best thing that happened to me today...got everything - plus accomplished...

Worse thing..mixed feelings about that one..Michelle, the young woman with 3 kids that just returned to her husband who turned to drugs went back to him last week because he saw what he had done to them, well yesterday he left about 2 and at 6 still had not returned so she said she saw wisdom in leaving him, coming back up here and staying with mom and dad until she can find accomodations..

What did I learn today...that I miss my old painting buds, will have to make a point of painting with them more often, but when you leave at 7am and don't get back till 6:30pm it's pretty hard to go painting till 11...oh well, I'll figure it out...

You've all posted such fun things but my apologies, no more energy..quick bath and off to bed I go...but tomorrow at work, it will be relaxing so I'll have plenty of time to play with you all...

I so enjoyed your posts...

Here's the frame I just had made...it's 5' long x 4' wide..4 feet should be wide enough to house a big hanging plant wouldn't you think...ideas and/or suggestions please...lol
