The Aftermath

Our neighborhood was hit rather decently with what F-1 Tornado on Sunday 5/25. There were grills flying and garbage cans thrown about, enough patio furniture in my back yard to start my own store. Luckily, everyone was safely in the basement. We ventured out after everything was over and one of our good friends house had this lovely little 2x4 sticking through the side of their house. The garage side was blown out of the home next to them so that is where it came from.

Good thing no one was sitting on the formal living room sofa or they could have had this baby stuck to their forehead!

Like I said, we were mildly hit compared to the neighborhood about 10-15 minutes away. That neighborhood is plowed. I just felt like I needed to get a picture posted so that people could take a gander.

Again, blessings were poured our home as we had no significant damage. We are truly blessed!

Enjoy!

Check out my Slide Show!

If you have seen these on any other blogs than you will know how easy it is. I went to www.slide.com and added a couple of cute pics to scroll through.
You may also notice the Round Ball to the right which is counting where my visitors come from! I am excited about this because up until now, I have no idea who looks at this thing! I downloaded the counter from www.neoworx.net and this is the neatest little TRIAL thing. It costs money after 30 days but it might be worth it!

Fenn Family Car Wash

Ever have one of those days where your whole family sleeps in until 10:30? Yeah...that was us today. I have to say it has taken 4 long years of parenting to finally get a small pay off like that one....there is (1) down side....you wake up and it is almost lunch time!!!

Today was a day to get things cleaned, organizes and no one in the family was exempt. Mason even helped dad vacuum out the cars and wash them...I love when they think chores are cool!

A family day that was filled with Mom on the inside and boys on the out...just the way I have been dreaming about =)

Stopped me Dead in My Tracks

There are some things in life that I just do not pay enough attention to.....take a look at the pictures and you will see what I mean. Now, I am not normally this sappy kind of person, but to me I never understand how the most beautiful flowers created, how the sky gets to be sooo blue, how leaves change colors and create an aroma that is of the season. Amazing. These tulips stopped me dead in my tracks, I was on my way to Starbucks this morning (HA HA) and low and behold....I pulled the car over and started snapping. Needless to say, these are only a couple of what I got but I just had to share...remember these flowers when you are having a bad day...the colors just make me want to Dance....good thing I am not into web cams like I am bloggin!!!

A Creative Frenzy

So, did any of you think that I fell off the blog wagon??? No, I have been feverishly getting items ready for our neighborhood garage sale that is next weekend. I have many items but something I am trying to get a feel for is the frames that I have been making. I have made them for gifts and had 2 people ask me to make them for others! I am making a couple of sample frames to have out at the Garage Sale to see if there is additional interest. I do not want to pay for a craft table or booth until I get a feel for what they might sell for (if they will even sell at all)!

Here are a couple of samples that I made last night. I am missing some of my adhesive so, the words are not sticking quite as well, I will have to fix that!

Post a comment if you look at this blog and tell me what you think.....Again, I am just starting this!

Thanks for looking!

Menahga Visit

Greeting from Up North Minnesota! I have not blogged for a couple of days as we decided to take a short trip to Menahga to visit my mom and dad. I will have some really cute pics to post because we stopped at this great barn for a few shots...I am really digging the photography thing! It was windy and a little cool. The boys enjoyed golfing! Mom and I enjoyed a NAP!

More soon.

And its gone.....

I'm glad that I am bloggin this tonight and not last night when this happened...I was soooo angry and ticked off because Erik's car was broken into at a Church softball game of all places...He had to park far away from the field and accidentally forgot the laptop bag was in the back seat. Of course, his laptop, glasses and watch were in the bag. Thank goodness for insurance. We should have it replaced by the end of next week but in the meantime, this was not a day to mess with me. I was just in one of those...what's wrong with the world moods...

More happy times tomorrow...in the grand scheme of things this is no big deal. I realize that now....after heavy medication and a long bike ride!
