Happy Weekend All!!

Hello everyone! Whew! I got the invites for the combined graduation celebration for Nick & Samantha just fine. No hassles, and now the separate ones for Nick, and what we will do the day of his graduation...ugh! They took a long time to get them, then they came without the envelopes, then the 1 picture I edited that was put on the invite came out dark....and time is getting shorter too. I emailed them right away as my invoice showed 'with envelopes' and asked them what I was suppose to do now. Then, I told them if they would have gotten these to me sooner instead of taking so long that I maybe could have had a little more time to fix this. Well, they were good about responding, and gave me a coupon to order up to 50 free. So, I went back into the sight, readjusted how the invite was to look, used different pictures, ordered, pd for the 2 day delivery service, and within a day I was notified the order had been shipped! So, now I am watching for those to be here anyday now...hopefully tomorrow maybe?

Other than that moving right along with getting things done. Monday I will be with Ashley for a bit out of town, and think I will stop and pick up some of the things needed for May 30th in regards to paper plates, plastic wear, and so on. Got the coffee for all you coffee drinkers, and Diane talked to the owner to see if we could use their pot there which we got the ok on. Diane ordered a cake, and I am gonna talk to someone about ordering her potato salad she makes, and then probably get some ham & buns for sandwiches too. Just get it as we go sort of thing:)

Hope everyone is doing well. Nothing new here. Work, work, work. Oh, yeah, Ashley lost her wedding ring, and got a new one in place of it. Bigger of course, and she loves it too. It is pretty, and she did good:) Karma being a little girl doing the girl thing with purses, playing with make up if she can get a hold of it, talks to the horses & likes to feed them with grandpa too.

Well, late, and gotta get some sleep. Tomorrow Chuck plans on being in yard working, and cleaning out garage. I want to work on piles of things I made upstairs in the craft room & spare room, and organize it more. Hope this finds everyone doing well. Have a Great Weekend Everyone!:)

Hello to Everyone

Well, been a little while since I have been by here. Sorry about that. Life:) Hope everyone in the family, and friends are all doing well. Friday was able to get most of the invitations sent out to those I had addresses for. Then, of course ran out of stamps. So, today I was able to finish off a few of them that didn't go out Friday. Diane, did send one to you as not sure if you would want it for a keep sake for Samantha's things. Also, the addresses Diane wanted me to include for both the kids was put onto the back of the invites.

Chuck is out of the truck again, and is back with the construction crew he worked with last year. They are maintaining equipment, and getting things ready to 'hit the road' with I believe by the end of this weekend, beginning of next week.

Nick is still with Fareway working, and like any other kid wants to make more money. He did get enrolled with NCIC in Sheldon for the fall where he will be taking welding, and he will also be taking auto mechanics. He wanted a back up, and so that is what he has worked out, and plans on. Like any other senior just waiting for the year to be over with, and to get it done!!:) Nick did buy his own car that He wanted...92 camarao, and he has been insuring the car himself too. He says he might as well, gotta learn it sometime, right? Hmm...grew up a little bit more than intended, but is doing well with it.

Ashley has been the stay home mommy, and has now started babysitting part time. Kids Karma's age, and gives her a few more play mates. Also, I do not know what happened, but Ashley lost her wedding ring. Thank goodness they had it insured, and she has now gotten a new ring & is very happy with it. The ring is close to what she had the first time, but is just bigger...course she likes that:)

Me? The usual, stay home, clean, cook, pick up after everyone, and take care of what all needs to be done.

Hope this finds everyone doing well, and the weather is getting better for everyone too:) Take care, and hope to see everyone at graduation in Storm Lake for Nick & Samantha's combined gathering. Remember it is on Sunday, May 30th from 2-4...or how ever long we carry it, right? Take care all:o)
