Ten on Tuesday

1. Can anyone say – busy week? Lots to do at work and home this week – and as you can see, I’ve stuck with my tried and true [color-coordinated] calendar – while I use the calendar on my phone for the occasional reminder, I won’t be using it exclusively anytime soon.
2. It’s fishing season! [When’s it NOT is the real question – ha] and Craig’s had a couple of relaxing outings with friends. Good for him since he’s covered up at work too.
3. Good {{GREAT}} news from my sister's recent eye surgery. It makes me happy.
   
4. Flowers are blooming everywhere around here, y’all! The rose bush we moved is sprouting new leaves – yay! It usually blooms in May and June. I’m so happy it can grow in a spot with wild abandon!
5. Speaking of which – what is your opinion of forsythia? Mine? It should be allowed to grow wild and free – love to see those yellow spires waving in the wind! A sure sign that Spring is here!
6. Craving the calmness that a de-cluttered home gives me – and we’re getting there – I still have a roll of Christmas paper tucked in a corner of our dining room, should I even admit that? But I did finally get everything unpacked from the crop I attended last month. [Priorities -Ha.]
7. Bought a GREAT piece of glass at Hobby Lobby for $5 that fits on top of my scrapbook table perfectly. I’m so happy about this because it’s nice and thick and made for this purpose – in the past I’ve used glass from large picture frames I’ve purchased at Good Will and let's just say those don't hold up well to eyelets being pounded in...
8. I found the ‘funnest’ blog this week – love – love – LOVE her art! I know I’ll be working on some things inspired by her!
9. And it’s always fun to see the circus parade when they’re in town [it’s really just the walking of the elephants from the train depot to the Von Braun Center – a short walk from our office. Thanks to a co-worker for the photos.] But I can’t help but think, “Really, Barnum & Bailey? I know it’s their day off, but couldn’t you toss in a few clowns and a fancy-dressed woman on top of one of the elephants? “
10. And finally – our Sunday School moved to First SS [it’s always been ‘Second’ after 1st worship] so we gave early service a go with it’s traditional hymns – very nice… but the verdict is still out since we like the contemporary service too...
