I have returned!

Me and my nieces a few years ago camping at Easter time.

So yea I have been MIA, But I have great news.

As of today I haven't had a cigarette in 4 weeks.

Yes almost a month and I have been smoke free. I won't say its been easy, but then it hasn't been horrible ,awful, ugly, nasty either.

I am so glad that I have quit and I don't plan on going back.

The really good news is I am going to Alaska.

We have booked a cruise for May with a few days in Seattle before we go. I am so excited I am not sure how I am going to get through the next 85 days of waiting.

I have a pair of wild doves that I think are making a nest right outside of my window, They keep returning to the same branch will have to get out there soon and see if I can get some pics of the nest before the tree starts leafing out.

I have been sick.

I have been playing with getting night shots. This is the best I have got but still working on it.

I need to get my tripod out as I can't hold it still enough for it not to come out blurry, lol

And this picture kinda describes the way I have been feeling.

I suppose it was inevitable considering that everyone around me has been sick.

My hubby, the grands, everybody at my work.

I truly thought I had got off easy by Monday as I was feeling better so Tuesday I went back to work. Of course the weather was really crappy with it snowing and blowing so after spending almost 10 hours out and about I came home feeling pretty crappy.

So yesterday I took it easy and slept most of the afternoon.

And this am, well I woke up early took some Advil's and we shall see.

My latest project.

My latest project. I made this as a gift for my mom. She had been wanting a cell phone purse  and I told her clear last fall that I would make her one.

We discussed what she wanted and then I did what I wanted which wasn't even close to what she said she wanted.

And honestly it isn't even what I first thought it would be.

But I love the way it turned out and so did she so all is well that ends well right.

Morning visitors.

We had morning visitors. We haven't seem them for a couple of weeks and I was very happy to get to see them again.

We had our son and the girls over for the weekend. We took the girls to the circus and had a ball. As far as I can remember this was the first time I had been to the circus so I had as much fun and wonderment as the girls had. ( plus I would go anywhere that they serve cotton candy)

I have went back to work and have been working on a project (finished yesterday) so have been pretty busy. Look for finished project pics coming soon.

Work and things.

This is what I was doing yesterday morning at work.

We moved this swab tank from one drilling location to another.

It was a short day and we only moved 2 tanks I was back home by 1:30pm

Yes that is a full grown person and a full grown truck.

On to other things

I have Chellebelle and Witty here for the weekend and we are going to the circus.

Yay.

Gotta love those grand faces.

A new old job.

First off, I have no new pics to post and since I hate to post without some kind of visual.

I just picked one I love.

I am employed once again. driving pilot car.

Mostly its moving huge tanks from one drilling location to another but the scenery is great and the people I work with are great, And you can expect a lot of desert pics very soon.

Now I am off to get ready for work.

Have a great day everybody!
