Not sure what's Worse

   

Friday...For the past few days we've enjoyed abundant sunshine.  A few clouds here and there and no rain.  But our daily highs of mid to upper 90's with a heat index up to 109 keeps me indoors.  Jim has been keeping up with his walking but as he said his speed is way down.  

Had lunch with Sonsearae last Wednesday.  She and Jim shared a pizza while I had a Caesar salad.  A week ago we had the truck AC repaired and while driving on Wednesday it was flaking out again.  We made a run yesterday and it worked ok.

The rains returned Sunday morning and it rained off and on all day.  I'm sure at one point overnight I heard it raining and it is awful wet this morning.  Sun hasn't come out yet.

Spent some time with Chris and Sonsearae yesterday.  Mexican inspired meal with brisket tacos, Spanish rice, homemade salsa (thanks Robyn!), Pico de Gallo and some yummy pinto beans.  Chris celebrated a birthday on Saturday and we continued yesterday.  Cupcakes!  home made cupcakes

Daily dose of Rain

 How was your weekend?  Do anything exciting?

We had a  pretty relaxing weekend, didn't do much except watch it rain.  Seemed like every few hours. Just had a wee shower!  Jim has been grumbling because he wanted to get some chores done outside.  Instead we read, played games and did some chores inside.  I did take the time to roast up a couple pork loin wrapped in bacon and seasoned with Cajun seasoning.

Inked Botanical DSP from Stampin' Up!...so soft and feminine.  

I love this template from Robin Armbrecht!  I found her on YouTube.  For now I've just made two from retired DSP.  I shall make more because I think scraps could be used and every card maker has scraps

Using up some retired DSP...Love this Template from Mary Fish

Delia Borer posted  a lovely card in my FB group and I just had to CASE (copy and share everything) it.  There are two sets of score lines, across the top and down the left side.  New cardstock and ink, Moody Mauve.  The stem is Soft Succulent (retired). 

Not 100% sure but I think this card was made for a challenge, something about using Foil.  Seashells Embossing folder, the stamps are retired
