I LOVE a Good Mood.......

and I have been in one all day long!! It began with coffee as all good days do! We have our morning Bible devotion and reading and today we started a 'new' book - Lake Wobegone Days by Garrison Keillor. It was published in 1985 so we are 28 years late in reading it! As soon as our morning routine was done it was time to head out for Tuesday Adventures!! My sister, Luann, joined me and we had a blast!

First up was our trip to Goodwill where we both found some treasures!

I bought 'this' for the quads even though I have no idea what 'this' really IS!

It plays music and there are activity things at the bottom of two legs. The babies crawled under it like a tunnel and were entertained. That's all that counts.

Next up - the MOVIES!

Man!! This was a GOOD movie!!! We all clapped at the end!

I HAD to take the toy over and get to love on the babies!

Kailey being KAILEY!

That Trystan is the SWEETEST thing!!!

 They are all four adorable - and that's not just a grandmother talking!!

Tuesdays are my FAVORITE! Art day! We missed painting last week! Just opening up the jar of turpentine makes the house smell like a studio! It helps that I LOVE that smell! So does Sabrina. Her car smells like 'art' since she transports her paintings between class and her office.

She chose this painting and it has been a fun project! I usually paint faster than she does but tonight I seemed to have got a slow start! Her canvas is larger than mine and she still quit before I did.

No worries! I continued to paint after she left! I don't have to get up in the morning and go to the office like she does! I am SO enjoying this 'retired' life - even though I have only worked a real 'job' for less than 5 years total! I have been a 'professional' housewife  and still am. So I guess I'm not really retired after all. I just 'own' my own business and can set my own hours!

I caught up with her before I cleaned up the art table!

We still have one more session before the FINAL one where we add the RAIN!

That will be exciting since we are planning to use the palette knife.

My cute little hubby! He sat in the dining room with me while I painted and he had his glass of evening wine.

We are grateful for his good doctor's reports lately! Blood work all GOOD! He doesn't even have to take his asthma medicine any more. He was never convinced he HAS asthma! May be just allergies. One more appointment with his heart doctor next week and he's DONE!

He went on to bed long ago while I have stayed up puttering around. I finished up the laundry and emptied the dishwasher. Tomorrow will be a big day. It is Sabrina's birthday and there will be a HUGE fireworks display just for HER after dark!! (It's not REALLY just for her - but we can play like!)  The next day is the 4th of July to most everybody - except US!! To US it is Moving Day!! We will be helping Amber and Mike move the quads into their new home!! Amber's 'Forever Home!' I'll be getting up EARLY for that occasion!
