Shadow Shot Sunday

Here's one of our concrete workers using his long handled trowel tool to signal the concrete truck down the street. It just happened! What a week--rain and more rain and in between we had this huge project...I need a vacation now that it's almost finished.

Skip over to Tracy's blog and see all the very unique Shadow Shots! Mine are boring and blahhhhhh compared to those you'll find in her weekly collages. She does a great job on the meme!

Happy new week, everyone, and thanks for looking!

Good Times Father's Day Card

I threw this card together today, and I think it's going to become a "redo"--right now I'm calling it one of my pathetic attempts! If so, I'll post the before and after! I'll call it a practice card (I need a LOT more practice!) because I messed up on the water color in places, have too many things going on both on the front and the inside, and have to rethink it all after a good night's sleep! The inside is a pull-out meant to have a fishing license attached--something we girls in the family always give to DH for Father's Day.

We're getting some gorgeous weekend weather, so I'm going to lock up the studio and take a breather. Tomorrow we're going to a Strawberry Festival in a quaint French river town nearby, and will be back next week, hopefully with newer and better things to post!

Enjoy your weekend! God bless you REAL good!

Exercising Patience with Concrete Work

Monday was spent watching the workers prepare the new sidewalk area and driveway (it's huge--3 car width). Tuesday brought the concrete trucks and some fast moving concrete workers to get the job done. Our driveway is half-poured and curing nicely.

But God had other plans for the last half! A big thunderstorm came through our area Tuesday afternoon and evening. Thankfully we didn't get the high winds and hail that people north of us got. Huge trees were uprooted, roofs were blown off, and 3,000 homes are still without electricity.

Yesterday our city street crew started painting lines in front of our house and the neighbor's house. When we asked whattsup with that, we found out that they plan to replace a width of the street early next week! So glad we asked!

WHOAAA! Now the driveway project is on hold until the street work is completed. NO WAY are we going to risk having our driveway jackhammer-damaged.

We WILL be patient and trust that the job will get done well in God's time. More photos to come...maybe one showing me with my rollerblades on and taking a whirl.

A blessing from the storm=cooler and pleasant air and almost NO humidity! Thank You, God!
