he's doing his part........keeping it GREEN!!!

yep......rex and i both recycle....and try our best to keep as much out of landfills as possible........however i'm not sure rex isn't taking this just a little too far!!!!!!!!!! as you can see, almost one entire side of our garage is full of engine parts, block heads (????) and lead weights for wheels.......i missed shooting the wheels that are also on their way to the recyclers.........this will all take place tomorrow...........then straight to the eye doctors.......wow.....i really want to get some really funky glasses........just don't know what kinda cost that would incur.........

wel.....still love my life!!

wow.............where does the time go????

the pool is closed......it was a sunny cool day.....and still they can't send a fun cabana boy to do the work.........looks more like a plumber with that butt crack going on..........and you KNOW i can't resist a great shot like that!!!!!!

spent a great relaxing weekend in innsbrook with these wild and wacky women!!!!! what a great time........i got to spend some time singing off key with a wonderful hairbrush mic....
also had some fun sliding across the marvelous hardwood floor......second oldest in the crowd and had to act like a 2yr old......oh well.....i LOVE my life! got little scrapbooking done......however can't wait to play again with these girls!!!!!!
tootsie (linda), michele and i had great fun while in vegas.......classes were fun.......little accomplished there, also..............hoping to go back to vegas.......not sure about it though.......will have to wait to see about funds.........and check things out with mr. butt............haven't had a holiday away with him in a couple of years......thinking perhaps the white sands of the gulf coast would be great.......perhaps see a couple of friends who live down there.........gotta chat with him and see what we can work out..............love that man.......seems like he works all the time and i would love to just spend some time with him!

mrs. erin had the icky swine flu while i was gone to vegas........she's better now.......thank goodness.........

well..........still love my life...........looking forward to the holidays..........low stress.........just peace......

what can i say.......SLACK QUEEN OF ALL!!!!

bad, bad, bad!!!

don't even know where to start......it's been sooooo long since i posted!    played with facebook.....got some trouble with that......so just figured i better stay off the computer!

  i also realized that we really don't have First Amendment rights any longer.......someone is always looking over your shoulder and critiquing all that is said!   crap.......i hate that i can't be perfectly honest!   a friend gave me a clipboard that says "it's not gossip if you know it's true!".....and i will always lay all my stuff bare!  it's soooo much easier.......and then someone can decide if they want to be friends or not!

   been working on some fun stuff for ClearScraps.......they have an event coming up in st. louis is august and needed some classes designed, instructions written, photographs and help with teaching these........so that's what i have been working on!   can't post any photos......well, maybe i can show just a teeny teaser of something,,,,,hope you think it looks fun!!

let's see.......perhaps i can update some things........last friday mr. butt and i celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary.........i was just a teenager when we got married........my daddy wasn't too fond of

 him, and asked me if i needed to change my mind while walking down the aisle!   NOPE.........love this man..........can't imagine my like without him!!!    we had dinner at a new place called Bravo......delish food.....fav desserts....creme bru'lee.., mocha gelato......hope to hit that place again!

the pool is open and just waiting for someone to jump im.........if only there wasn't soo much other stuff to do.......cleaning,,......laundry......working on design team

 stuff........love it all.....just need more time!

perhaps i can find one more little teensy tease......

well..........happy saturday night and sunday morning.......please pray that the woodpecker is quiet tomorrow morning....(he's having issues distinguishing between wood and metal guttering!!   oh what noise!

i LOVE my crazy life!!!
