Fall Decorating and "The Girls"

I did a little decorating today. As I said before I LOVE fall, I just don't like that winter is not far behind. I'm not a cold weather person. Oh well, I'll enjoy the weather as it is and not think about what's ahead.

I did take a few pics of my fall prims and the locker hooked rug I'm working on. And a New pic of the girls.

Thanks for looking.

Fall into Creating

It's a Great day to bring out the fall decorations!! Back home and going to be here for a couple of days. The weather is cool and drizzle, the perfect day to get the inside ready for fall too. I am bringing out some of my fall prims, and trying not to bring out the Halloween just yet. But Halloween is my favorite holiday. My BIL even says I ride a broom!!! I LOVE getting out all the fall things.

I'm working on a locker hooked rug. I'll post a pic later today, forgot to take one before I did this post. And I also make locker hooked candle mats, I need to get a few more of these made, love them in the fall colors. And they work up quick and fast and are very portable.

I always get creative when I start into the fall mode. So I keep a pad and pencil handy to jot down my ideas. I seem to have my best creative thoughts when decorating.

Until later..................Prim blessings

A New Week

After last week in Los Angeles, and ending in Minnesota, we had a couple of days to relax. Well, sort of. Thursday was rainy and cool, a definate sign fall is on the way. I'm not ready, well, I am just not for the cooler weather. Anyway, my Sister-in-law and I went shopping. Me with my hood and she with her umbrella, lol. She was kind enough to share it with me, until it did the upside down Mary Poppins thing! Omg, what a hoot. We had fun though, we don't get to shop together much anymore. Oh, and my package came, so Thank you to BIL for accepting that for me and NOT opening it.

Ok, then Friday. We had to do the renew the Drivers License thingy. Not bad just a vision test, and the picture wasn't too bad either. Back home to relax, do laundry, give the girls a bath, all that fun stuff. Cooked out for supper and packed to leave on Saaturday.

So now a new week, On our way to Denver and then who knows where.

Just wanted to post a quick note. More later.

Until then............Prim Blessings

It Really was "Nun" of my Business

But I had to ask. You know somedays you think I've seen it all, and then you really haven't.

Burns, Wyoming, just east of Cheyenne, we had stopped for fuel and a bite to eat. As we were walking in to the building I saw a Nun walking out to a truck. I said "wonder what she's doing". We did our normal routine, got a bite to eat, our fuel tickets and walked out the door. I looked over at the fuel isles and there she was getting in a truck!!! I said "surely she's not driving that truck", I have to talk to her. And I did. Yes indeed she was driving the truck, Sister Marie, her fuel rewards card even said Sister Marie. Not just one Nun but two, the other one was along to keep her company. They were from a poor part of Chicago and building a Church, with not a lot of funds for what they need, and the congregation not able to support the church fully they have had to do what has to be done. They can't afford to have the materials brought in to them so they are going after them theirselves. They got a load, pulling a flatbed no less, in Wisconsin, strapped and tarped it by them selves in their habits and were heading west to get a load of lumber for the roof of the church. This will help pay for fuel to bring the lumber back. I forgot to ask where they were going to get the lumber, but most likely Washington state of Oregon. And Sister Marie said this was her first time coming west and she had some concerns about the mountains she had to go over. This was not her first time driving a truck, she's been to Texas and Florida and has been driving , or had her license for 2 years.

Now, I did ask to take their picture, but she said no and told me why and then also said I would have to have permission from the Mother Superior first. I respected their reasons why and totally understood them, but she also said no one will beleive I know, LOL.

I wished them a safe trip and blessings on their way. I'm still in shock and so wished I had been going the other way that day. I would love to know how they are doing! And I hope I run into her again someday.

I guess you really never have seen it all, there's always something new around the next corner!

I've more to tell, but later.

Until then...................Pink Prim Blessings!

And, Sister Marie, I know she'll never see this but, God Bless.

At the Races

I haven't posted in awhile, it's been a busy week. Our week started out with loads to Paramount, Ca. We arrived at he job site on Thursday evening. We were in a fenced in area with a security guard. the football field was brand new with nice Astro turf, the girls had a blast running around on the artifical grass! We unloaded on Friday morning, this took awhile as there were 3 of us there. After unloading, dispatch had load for me about 25 miles away, so off I went. when I got there, I thought I'll never get this Big rig backed in there!! and, without the help of another driver there I wouldn't have, BUT I DID IT!!!! They gave me a Gold Star for the day, LOL. So, I picked up a load of hip waders, yep I said hip waders going to Sauk Rapids, Mn.. Hubby picked up a load of machines of some kind going to Chicago.

So, after getting our loads we headed to the TA Travel Center in Ontario, Ca. We need to take our 34 hour break. And, it just so happens that Nascar is here this weekend. After a hot shower, getting laundry done and a relaxing breakfast, he was off to the races. I don't mind, he knows a lot pf people affiliated with Nascar and so enjoys it. I said go and have a Good time. I'm sure he will.

The girls and I are in our traveling home, lol. It's quite comfortable for us, a comfy bed, computer, a good DVD, and food in the cooler. And I have my crafty things I'm working on. Still working on the penny rug candle mat and the pinkeep. Almost have them done. I'm posting pics of the place I had to back in and of the thermometer in the desert in Baker, Ca. I think it was 93 degrees when we went through that morning.

This part is for my brother-in-law, he knows which one he is, lol. I'll see if he really reads this! I'm having a package sent to your house, since I'm not home to get it.

I'm excited to get my package, it's my Mary Kay order. We have "New" Mineral Eye shadows and blushes. I've ordered some samples and if you're interested in seeing them let me know. I can't wait to get them!!

We'll head out in the morning for our destinations and will run together until we reach Des Moines, Ia where I'll head North. I hope to be home sometime Wednesday, probably late. Hubby should get back in on Thursday.

Hope you all are having a fun filled Holiday weekend!! Have lots of fun ans stay safe!

Until we meet again..................Prim Pink blessings.

Weekend Water Balloons and Water Guns

Did we have fun or what? LOL! Spent the weekend for our 34 hour break with the kids and had a blast. There were water balloons and water guns and an all out war with Papa the boys and Daddy. The daughter and I have decided this will be an on going thing, with the artillery only getting bigger as the years go on, LOL. Like who will have the biggest water gun? Well they had a great time, even though one little boys pants kept falling down. That didn't stop them though. We cooked out a fab supper of BBQ Pork chops, Hobo potatoes and green beans with yellow watermelon for dessert.

The girls had fun running in the cool grass and getting squirted with water, too! And they had a bath at the end of the day. No wet doggie smell here, lol.

We cleaned out the trucks and did all the necessary laundry early in the day so as to enjoy the afternoon.

I'm posting a couple of pics of the water fight and of the girls. Hope your weekend was as fun as ours.

Until we meet again..........Prim Blessings

I've Been Keeping a Secret

And I've been dying to tell!! Lol! Our household had grown since last Monday. We added 2 "New" members. I'm posting a pic, now it's not the best and I'll be taking more, but you'll see them any way. Meet Maile and Sofie! We finally were given the OK to get a pet and we did! One is mine, Maile, the other is his, Sofie. Both travel with me, LOL. They are so cute, Maile is the loveable one and Sofie is the fiesty one.

We delivered in Atlanta and then reloaded just north of there. On the way back to the north we have stopped to see the grandkids and daughter and son-in-law. Well, imagine the surprise in the eyes of 2 little boys at seeing us and then ten fold that when they saw "The Girls". We had a fun afternoon, the girls got to run and play. Pappa brought water ballons, so he, the boys and Daddy had a water balloon fight in the late afternoon. Too, much fun!

We will leave here Sunday morning to head to our delivery points for Monday morning delivery. Then meet back up at the home terminal to pick up loads for California.

Hope you all had a Great day. Wishing you a weekend as fun as I know ours will be.

Until we meet again.........Prim blessings
