Weekends Just Fly!

This weekend passed quickly as they normally do.  Trying to cram a ton of activities into 2 days.  We had such nice weather that I was glad I was able to go out and finish up some yard cleanup.  But before I tackled that I went with my friend Stacy  (Crawford Clan Weekly) to a craft show that is held every November.  I don't always make it every year but I love to go when I can.  I bought just a few little items but it was fun to see all the people and the crafters and see what is new and selling.  Wool items are big! I spied some really lovely mittens but they were a bit out of my price range. I did nab a couple of cute kiddo hats that will find their way onto some Grandkiddo's head.

Here's just a small example of the crowd and wares and of course Stacy! After the show we headed back to her place so she could help me with a video I'm doing for work.  I've compiled a few pics over the year and even some old ones I dug up...like this one:

I'm the one on the left...Donna on the right...in 1983.  She was pretty close to delivery with Chelsea and I  was about 3mo. pregnant with Jordan.  There were 6 of us pregnant in surgery that year! Crazy! I put together the photos and Stacy helped me to put them to music and add some text and hopefully everyone will like what I did and get laughs,  good memories,  and an appreciation of what we do on a daily basis.  I wanted to get it done last week but ran out of time.  Last week was perioperative nurse week.  It's also the 100th year anniversary of our hospital . I'm presenting it this week at our weekly inservice and I'm serving breakfast too...so everyone is welcome to come!  A big thank you to Stacy for taking so much time and effort to help me out and I have your "thank you" gifts Stac!  The rest of the time was spent running the usual errands and Church time on Sunday that involved an hour drive to Stake Conference.  Before we left we caught Eddy the boxer in this pose:

Looking wistfully with his paw under his chin no less! What was he wishing?

To go outside I think!  That's the backyard and he was intently gazing out there until he realized he was being photographed.

Then I got this look...it says "Please can't we go for a walk into the Creepy Woods?"  That had to wait until much later!
Before the weekend is truly over and this special day ends, I want to say another big THANK YOU to our Veterans.  This is Veteran's day and I'm so thankful to all who have served our fantastic country.  Men like my brothers Phil and Greg who served in Vietnam and super cool men like my Dad who served in WWII.  I sure wish he was still here so I could tell him in person.  I miss him everyday. Dad, you were always my hero!
