Made It Through Wednesday!

Here's a pair of earrings I made a while back. Aquamarine and copper accents. I just played around and this is what happened. The funny part is that a lady saw these at the gallery and was very impressed with my interpretation of lightning and rain~~~which goes to show you that the interpretation of things is all in the eye of the beholder!

Good day today. I believe I really helped a few patients. The cranky radiologist was relatively pleasant. And the day flew by!! Yay!

Bless you all this evening. May your Thursday be Jesus-filled!

Happy Tuesday!

Well, last night our doggies took a walk with my brother in law. They were in the hills, off-leash, when they tried to make a new friend. A skunk. Peuuuuwwww!!! So last night was a round of baths, baking soda, and a smelly household. My DD was here from Sacramento with her husband and she jumped right in with the doggie bath duties. What a blessing!

May your evening smell nicer than ours did last night! Bless you all.

Cattle Drive

When we were at Poso Flats near Bakersfield, we got to see a cattle drive! My DH ran into the thick of it to take pictures.

The cattle had to cross a creek to get onto my brother's property.


This cowgirl kept them thar dogies in line, yessir...(embarrassing attempt to sound "cowboy" is now over. You may stop grimacing.)
It was a fun addition to our trip, and my brother said he spared no expense to make our visit really special...LOL!

May you have a cow-poop free Tuesday! And bless you all, my friends.

"Renew"

Blessed Sunday all!
"Renew" is my latest resin pendant. Copper, brass, nickel, silver, garnet and peridot are all included in this piece.

A beautiful day in Northern California~~86 degrees so far. I pray that this week is full of kindnesses and joy, with several grins and a few shared laughs thrown in daily. A hug to you all!

Yay Friday!

Happy Friday All!!!!
Here's a funny resin pendant that I made yesterday. Leftover resin, a circle of copper, a wire cross I made a long time ago, and teeny seed beads. Voila!

Hope your weekend is amazing~~ God bless you all.

Doggie Vacation

Dakota and Sierra had so much fun on this trip. They got to play in the water. Many times. Occasionally they were tossed into the water after they rolled in cow poop. Yep, cow poop. Apparently it's a great doggie body lotion and a yummy snack.


They got to hang out with horses. And the horses did their best to ignore them.


Still, I get the sneaking suspicion that my DH loves the dogs more than me...


Now where would I get that impression? I don't know.... And I promise not once did I roll in cow poop and I never never ate it. Ever....

God bless you, all my friends. Our week is winding down. May you be a blessing to someone else~

Bakersfield~Poso Flats Adventure

Dakota the Lab and Sierra the Border Collie/Lab did OK on the 6 and 1/2 hour trip to Poso Flats this last weekend. They didn't enjoy being in their crates, but we did stop frequently and take them on potty and water breaks. Here they're hangin' with my DH at a rest stop.


Here's my little brother's barn at Poso Flats! They also have a living quarters there, so there are bathrooms and a place to sleep. Isn't it cute? My DH is envious!

It's so pretty here! Lots of oak trees and granite rocks and horsies...


And here's the "Party Meadow" where the birthday festivities will occur...no, the little house is NOT an outhouse! It's a well house. If you have to go potty, walk back to the barn, OK?

Hey, we all made it through Wednesday!! Woo hoo! Bless you all and keep looking at Him. He loves you so much.
