things happen






good morning. things happen around here, but then you have a 94 3/4 mom, 2 cats that dont' really care if the other eats or not, me and the innocent bystander..john.

so when mom decided to stay up for 30 hours straight I thought it was a good time to go thru the ' projects in process' drawer along with the ' stuff that didn't make it' drawer and added to that a box that had too much crackle ( so got stuck under the table) and a card that Sandy had given me says " messengers of dreams "..and whalla!!!

the nurse said sometimes the elderly, near the end, will stay up for 4 days straight..and then..well whatever. but after 30 hours mom decided she was tired of all this and went to sleep...awoke slowly the following day..until she was up with eyes open around 4pm..and reported that ' i was close to death'..(like we didn't know) .

meanwhile i took this can-van i had painted and didn't like and copied the card onto the center along with a post card on a separate sheet and used them for the inside of the box. found some orange ribbon and a buckle ( had to use this because the top kept sticking shut and needed something strong to pull the box open). the wooden angel ontop..well that was in the stack somewhere...and there we have one more project finished!

oh yeah and don't forget loeke, moms cat...hung in there the whole time so she got a treat!!!
