RAFFIA SISTERS

5 minute Friday

Just turned ito 10! boy I must be in a slump...had a hard time finding anything I wanted to pin!

But hey there is always something....

someday...

love the bookshelf for the kitchen...If I just had room..cause I have the bookshelf...

can someone come do this to my bedroom...PLEASE!

just sweet...If I had raffia I may have to had found these...

and these.

 I don't even own a pair of tennis shoes but DANG those laces are CUTE!

I think I have pinned this 20 times...I just SOOOO love it!

wonder if it's true?  let me know???

And with that, wishing you all a wonderful little weekend.  Lynda off to the Valley, us celebrating many graduations, watching Daniel play a little BASKETBALL and HOPEFULLY spending some money on flowers! Be safe....and find some time to relish in some memories.... 



 
 

Sorry for the pictures with a few wrinkles....

As I lay in the bathtub soaking a few muscles I had forgotten I had, I made a quick flip through my Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine. Not my all time favorite magazine...sometime a little too out there for me... but every now and then I find a photo I like.~ok lie...I always find photos I like and food that looks good just to much for me to recreate. But I loved this little to do thing...although I can guarantee I will never do it...but it is why I hang onto my ice cube trays up in the furthest corner of my house. (don't lie you still have yours tucked somewhere JUST IN CASE!)

all the cool things one can throw into an icecube tray to make your drinks taste oh so much better...a couple of my favorites...

~cooled hot chocolate thrown in the tray and then served in iced coffee! 

 

~pickle juice in vodka!

~hot sauce then dump into beer!

~not so into the fresh chopped parsley in carrot juice...

~ and what kid wouldn't like this in their cola!

Super cute! 

Super happy! ALL NEEDED!

Best climb to the cupboard above the fridge... (isnt that where everyone keeps their ice cube trays?) Happy Thursday!

I figure if I ever do get back to a regular blogging schedule I won't have any readers!  Can't seem to take or make time to sit down and actually come up with something creative or inspiring. Stuck in the middle of spring madness with what seems to be a fairly poor attitude.  

Have been extremely grateful for the rain.  Its hard if your not in agriculture to truly know the value of what the weekend brought. and I continue to hope showers come our way! YES WE WILL TAKE MORE!  (hey maybe deadwood would help the attitude).

Kids graduating around me LEFT AND RIGHT! Good friends, family, seems like everyone I know has someone graduating! ( maybe all the parties have me sleep deprived).

 

Clogging recital this past sunday.... (more sleep deprivation)

Setting up fixtures at Western Ranch (aching muscle's...need the irrigating work out to get back into shape).

Saddened heart for Oklahoma and for our friends in Laurel who have recently lost their son.

 

So there you have it! a reason to stick with the blog! HA! PURE HAPPINESS!

But truly good! just feeling a bit overwhelmed like the rest of the world today!

Hope your all good! promise! yes, truly PROMISE! good stuff to come soon!

I should get up this early every morn.  When it's just the birds chirpin away, before the sun has peaked out.  Just me, my coffee, and peace and quiet at the blogging computer, before the craziness of getting everyone out the door begins ...but this morning it was~~just couldn't sleep...billions of things running through my mind....nothing of much importance....how the summer is already disappearing away, ai season this weekend, thoughts of getting cattle to the Valley, and of course WRS near opening...

Finished branding the last of our cattle Saturday and then headed to the cousin Krafts on Sunday...

 

 

trying to remember to slow down and enjoy spring!  still praying for rain, but loving the sunshine!  

i took these about a month ago...my heart pounds when things start popping out of the ground....

and while I have learned the gratitude of having even just a little spring moisture...

can I just say!

THANK GOD THE SUN SHINES TODAY!!
