One of those days.....

Yesterday was a day that I felt every one of my almost 50 years old. I work with the most clever, creative, smart and above all nice people I could ever hope to work with. Not a single one of them make me anything but happy. I was just so frustrated with myself. I even threw a silent temper tantrum for my idiocy. My mind just doesn't do some of the things I want it to. Most days I'm trainable but yesterday....... Then, it took me 40 minutes to get home (this is normally a no more than 15 minute drive), you know who was in class and the animals were just not interested. I just felt awful.

Sew anyway, and that's what I did.

I will never make another. Minky stretches. A lot. I mean it. K, well, maybe I would make another. Not sure. Maybe, if I have another bad day and it takes me a long time to get home and you know who is in school and the dog, cat and chinchilla are not enough..... maybe, because I am good at this and it makes me happy.

Do you have pictures that just make you happy to look at?

Ok so that is a ridiculously long title... but so what... it's my blog and I can do what ever I want! I actually have projects that are done but I haven't taken any pictures. So I was looking for something pretty to put up instead and came across this. I think my brother took it, it is the same place as my banner just in the winter (Austria). I want to be there right now!

Ahhh... smell that fresh mountain air? I am up to the right on the mountain... in a lounge chair.... just perfect...

...please don't disturb me.

p.s. for those of you who would like a real post I will try to get on it tomorrow!

Beach Day…kinda

Since Fey came through I wanted to head out to the beach to see what it looked like I was hoping for some cool shells or teeth. We went out there this morning we like to go to Hanna Park it is great there usually aren’t a lot of people out, there’s plenty of parking and the beach is clean. We paid to get in and 1 minute later (literally) the sky opened up and poured…. So we hung out in the car for a while because weather changes in Florida every 10 minutes and then we headed out to the beach when it stopped raining

We didn’t get to do a whole lot of walking because we didn’t want to get stuck too far away from the car if there was another down pour since we weren’t dressed to be wet just for a walk. The beach looked TOTALLY different there used to be a lot more sand the beach went out about 15 to 20 yards farther then where it is now. About a quarter mile down the beach was a washed up navigation buoy (Uber is so smart)

I never realized how big those things are! Usually the life guard chair would be out where the people are in the water. Here's the closest we get to a good shot together... Uber's specialty

The swells were HUGE...compared to normal and there was a ton of foam... not sure exactly what causes foam but it kind of creeps me out… there were some people out but they weren’t getting very far into the water it looked slightly dangerous out today with Hanna messing around just South of us (which now is apparently heading almost right for us this Friday as a Category 1… what gives?!?! Oh Uber says we should be good though...)

I messed around looking for shells there were a lot but with the way the beach has changed the water gets deep really fast and the waves coming in are larger so unless you want to get wet it was hard to catch anything good I did find this shell though and it is pretty awesome it only has one little broken spot at the top other then that it is intact. I got to get away with looking because matt didn’t want to go to far (YEAH!!) and he was on the phone. I love looking for shells!

Well after being out there for about an hour with occasional rain drops scaring us the sky cleared and it got extremely hot to the point of feeling like your skin was sizzling off so we decided rather then get burnt we better head in for the day since we hadn’t slathered any sunscreen on. It was nice to get out there though…

Stuttgart Weindorf

Stuttgart has the best fests and the Weindorf is no exception. You know who and I were downtown last week and saw the building process begin. It is so cool that they will build tiny timbered houses for two weeks every year. I checked, they have been doing this since 1974. So here are pictures of before and after..... Some of the food we ate View from the Rathaus

I have no idea what he is trying to do but the lady standing next to me was cracking up. I think she was hoping he'd fall in....

Bandanas in the tree. I don't know why.

These booths are extravagent.


Anyway, it was a nice day. If you havn't been, you should try it. Eat yourself silly, that's what we did!
