A rambling post....

 Mimi and I found this groovy Barbie case last week......
 and some of you maybe remember me talking about wanting to paint 
my trim white on this half of the house....well I'm finally starting this huge
project....the worst is all the prep work!
 Then I can be as happy as Barbie in her new digs....
 This little stinker as I was taping off the floors and windows
was coming behind me ripping it all off.....he's like a little kid!
look at those eyes though.....sorry Mommy.
 We hit 80 degrees  yesterday and so Mimi and I walked the boardwalk
along the Kenai river after playing in the park.....
 and watched them fish for a while....
 It was such a lovely day and with the breeze, no bugs!
and last but not least heres the fireweed as promised!

What have you been up to?
any projects?

Heidi

    What a fantastic find that Barbie case was, I have never seen one like it.

    Love that your little 'stinker' stole the tape as you put it down..I agree, just like a kid! xo

    I love Barbie's new place!

    Hi Heidi, that looks like a big job, but well worth it in the end I am sure. LOVE the Barbie case! Not much doing in this neck of the woods :) Tam x

    Hello Heidi,
    Good luck with the paint project! the case is beautiful, I'm sure Barbie will be very happy. Poor little guy...mind you I think the sad face is just a means of manipulating us.
    Big hug,
    Giac

    It's been so hot here in the UK for a change that all the projects are on the back burner while we enjoy the sunny weather :) x

    Very cute Barbie set. I didn't know that Kenai had a boardwalk - looks fairly new.

    What have I been up to you ask?? Well, one of the things I did in the last few days was visit your beautiful home and meet your great family. It was wonderful to meet you, surprise you, meet your husband, Mimi and George and Milo. And surprising you was the best of all!!!! Great to see you in person, Heidi. Diane
