A little of this, a little of that......................

Okay quick update on the last few days!!

My heart stopped about a week ago, when my Kitchenaid Mixer (aka: do all, use to death machine) DIED!! It was working faithfully on a batch of bread, it made a few clunks .......and died! Immediately I'm trying to justify in my mind how I can run that very moment a buy another one!! BUT - RANDY TO THE RESCUE!!!! He unscrewed the top off looked at the motor, we got online, the rep emailed us a diagram of the motor, Randy ordered the right part, and WALAH (how do you spell that?) it's working like a dream. Music to my ears........................................... Here she is shined up after a batch of bread and ready to run!

Nathan came by the other night with his newly issued hard hat - cute huh? Don't you love the sticker on the front - it's sure to earn him some respect!?!?!

As of today - the announcements/invitations for graduation are in the mail!! What a relief! My face looks a bit odd, but I was watching the final of American Idol - who wouldn't be tense!! Woo Hoo - Kris won!! I'm a fan! Did you know he's a happily married, Christian worship leader? I only know this because someone was spouting off on Yahoo about how the conservative people ruined it and Adam should've won - I don't agree!

Yesterday and today I've been plant shopping - just research. Tomorrow we start buying and planting!! I'll post pictures of the BEAUTIFUL patio my husband poured this week - can't wait!

Thanks goodness the mixer is fixed. That would make my heart stop too.

I can not tell you how relaxing this Spring has been since I have no Senior this year. It is fun but sooooo much work and worry and stuff.

It's spelled "voila" (accent over the a)...one of those crazy french words! :D
Have a wonderful graduation celebration!

Okay deary...it's Kris that won and no, we did not know that he was a worship leader...maybe Jason should enter this contest! Hehehehe...don't tell him I said that. I think it's great that all of these Christians are winning!!

Congrats on getting all of the announcements/invitations out!! One more think to check off of that to-do-list.

Have fun plant shopping! Can't wait to see where the "new" lilac bush went.
