Here's The Buzz

Its sad...but we had no chose
We don't have a bee keeper in our area
so we had to call the"bee killer"

I hated to kill them but they had to go
The bees where attacking us as we went up our stairs
We tried to close them off and kill them naturally
but that didn't work.
"They didn't survive the ice age because they were  dumb"

We had to cut a hole in the flooring to get to the hive



We started with a small hole and had to keep cutting

First Day Of School


I was checking my face book yesterday morning like I do every day and found it was the first day of school for many of my friends. While I sipped my coffee I enjoyed looking at all the children getting ready for the first day of school throw the eyes of their mommy’s cameras. A sudden sadness fall over me, I realized this was my first time in 22 years to not send a boy off to school. I couldn’t help but remember the many new backpacks, tennis shoes, haircuts and by the way the hair will never look as good as it does on the first day of school…. lol



My DH was feeling my pain and said….”Let’s get out of here” We went to Port A to visit a friend and then off to Corpus Christi for a little shopping and then back to Port A for dinner on the water.


I have the best Husband!












Awesome full Moon


I think I’m going to like this empty nesting stuff
Best wishes

A Project in Progress


My sweet hubby is building me a place of my own
I'm naming it after my lovely grandmother Pearl

Here are the beginning stages of

The Vintage Pearl





OMG

I realy need a space of my own



 The laundry room will have to stay in my art studio
O well
At least the laundry will get done


My walls..teehee


 The front of The Pearl will have a french door and
will be hidden behind the garage doors when
 I'm closed for the winter
I'll keep you updated with our progress
