Air Show

Hello one and all!
These are just a few recent pics from the last week. The first one is me and Tiffanie. She's so cute! She's one of my best friends. I just love her to bits. The second is my Josie doing her climby thing. I swear that girl has been climbing almost since birth. Even when she was a baby, she climbed even before she knew how to crawl or walk. The last pic is of the famous "Blue Angels". We went to the air show on Sunday. It was really fun and the kids loved it but got bored. I couldn't use their ATM (no visa) but didn't realize it, yet they still charged me a buck for trying. Scammers! Tiffanie and family and the kids and I then went out to Cracker Barrel. Nummies! Mike (the hubster) had duty so was gone for the night. I have to say, Mike and I are doing really good this refit. Typically we grouse at each other, so it's been really nice because the stress level seems to be staying down longer. I'm sure a week or so before he deploys, things will get nutty but neither of us mind that so much. Mike's been taking a class for teaching firearm safety and seems to really be enjoying it. He likes shooty things. LOL!
Tucker is working on a research paper on...chemical changes of gases in the universe when there's nuclear fission on Tuesday while chewing gum at a 45 degree angle. *huffs* ...Actually he put it off for 3 weeks and sprung it on me a couple nights before his initial index cards with 50 facts written on them were due in. Next day...teacher calls. "Tucker hasn't been taking advantage of the time given him to do the assignment". Apparently it's more fun to read the Guiness Book of World Records 2007 than to work on a research paper about universe gases and particle accelerators. We did get caught up but a great deal of whining silently to myself was necessary in order to get through it. I don't care what ppl say, whining does help! LOL ok maybe not but it was better than thoughts of military school or indentured servitude.
My other best friend, Heather got me flowers for my birthday. They are so pretty. Huge blossoms in fall colors. Then my Hubby sent me flowers from 1800flowers. A dozen roses in red and pink and salmon and white and peach. So lovely. Then my other best friend, Amber (there are 4 of us in our gal pal crew) sent me to candy pink highlighted roses. My art desk looks like a garden. Mike took me out to dinner (oh did I forget? I turned 37 on the 24th). Then I hung out with friends.
I also had a photography gig. I took pics of an author/illustrator at a local school and our charity person and her dog. I'd post pics here but I don't think I have permission. It was cool...channel 4 was there doing a story on it. I'll be working on more illustrations soon. I remember praying when Josie was a baby, that if I ever was able to use my art talents, I wanted to dedicate my first job or the proceeds from it to charity. A kind of "first fruits" in honor of my Lord. So it seems fitting and wonderful that the first opportunity I've had to use my talents is a charity. I'm so pleased. Just dropped in my lap. Thank you Lord.
Well I plan on doing some beads today. I have my new torch but have been distracted from all sorts of stuff going on. I'll take some pics of my beads and post them soon. Well folks...need to get on with my day. Thanks for stopping in and God bless you and yours.
