So We Picked Up Some Babes

Saturday we had plans to do some LONG awaited Yard Sales.  We were very organized. The address sheet was arranged in order so we could maximize our time.  Off we go to pick up some fun junk that belonged to a previous owner.  Then it happened, I saw an add for dress forms for 5.00 each.  It was an hour away but who cares. I wanted the dress forms all 3 of them. They were from a closed store and had been stored for a while,well used and abused but fantastic any way. So, we picked up Lisa (my baby sister) with a mission and a Starbucks in hand we hit I-15 south and retrieved 3 dress forms and a table top display.  The bodies were stowed safely in the trunk, a side trip to IKEA and homeward bound. What a great day.  Lots of laughing and cracking jokes about the girls in the trunk.

The ladies were safely in the sewing room.  Later that evening we herd rumbling,squealing and sirens. We are just a block from the Fire Station.

The next morning I went into my sewing and well the rest is history.
I don't know what happened.  Do you have an idea what may have happened?.  I need to know before they get out of REHAB!!!!!

Your input is very important I need your help.  Have a look at the Photos, Please let me know I need your comments H E L P!

Always Making Something........................................

St. Patty's Decor and Crafts

The first thing I worked on these cute and super easy Shamrock Pins. My sister wore one to work and everyone wanted one so I made a few more. They only cost about 30 cents each, and took no time at all to put together.

Next was the Table Runner.  I am not totally happy with it but it does look OK on the Table.

Then I made the Shamrock Garland It was fun and I really like it. Sorry the pic is not really very good. I will try to get a better picture and post it later.  The Buffet Runner and a Globe of whirling shamrocks sparkling too.
That is what I have been up to this week.  I have so much stuff left over I may have to do something else with it too.
You Know the way it ends.   Always Making Something...................................

Sarcasm

I was out with my sister Lori last week.  We were at Target, hobbling through together. (It is a sight to behold).  We were looking at the greeting cards, laughing hysterically, people were staring but we didn't care, it was too much fun.  

Suddenly, I saw the perfect card,  I was searching my brain for the best person to give it to. Now, as every family has its dirty little secrets, ours is not any different.  

So bravely I asked Lori, "Do you think #2 daughter would like to send this to her husband?"  

"Does it have sparkles on it? You know THEY can't have any cards with sparkles it" ( Can you see where this is going?).  

" No, no there are no sparkles or glitter or any thing shiny" I said. 

 " Read it to me" Lori said.  

"No I think you should read it yourself"  I said.  So I handed it to her.

 She began reading and I could not wait for her to finish. It felt like forever, and then ............... 

We both burst in to the most unlady like laughter, belly laughing, someone may have snorted and there were tears too. I thought I was going to have to crawl into to the shopping cart to recover. The pain was reeling through my body from laughing so hard. 

Lori was sitting on the floor with her legs crossed and laughing into her purse.  

I asked her what the heck she was doing she replied "I don't want anyone to see me". 

So now I will tell you what the card said.

"Valentine, I will always have your back. If we were in prison I would take a shiv for you"

 

Now you may say why is that so funny? 

 Well it just so happens that my nieces husband is in Jail.  Long story short he was in a fight he got stabbed and almost died. He was in the hospital for 4 weeks. Unfortunately before he passed out he hit the assailant with something metal.  He had to go to the ER.  

My niece's husband is a LEGAL ALIEN.  He has lived in this country for 26 yr and his Green Card was in order. 

Unfortunately he was charged with a felony.  He is awaiting  deportation back to England and can never return to this country.  

The other part of this story. My son is a Federal Agent he is Office of Investigations currently working with ICE.  Is this a funny story?  

NO, it is very sad. 

There is nothing that can be done. 

My son has to go by the law and go by the law he will.  He is a justice fighter.  He is not even involved in this case he lives in another state. But he can not even talk with his cousin regarding the situation or even offer any advise.  

Does this sound crazy?  Well it is.  But the Card took us some place else for a moment.  The Law is the Law.  And the Card was sarcastic if only for a moment.  

Someday, I am going to write a Family Biography, but they will put it in FICTION because no one will believe it.  

I am going to call it Mostly Functional Dysfunctionals or The Trailer Park.  Any way we love them.

And I am always Making something..................
