June? July? Where are you?


i've never been one to wish time away, but June and July 2009, may have been two of my most challenging months. First off, I don't do well with illness or confinement, both of which occured in June with the onset of shingles and then a chest infection that lasted until mid July. Just getting on my feet and ready to enjoy some summer, and a good friend, employees husband, the man who remodeled our current home, passed away by his own hand. Spent the entire last week bringing food to family and supporting my friend. My husband in turn had to do his job and hers, making his life challenging as well.....plus temps here in Wyoming were only in the mid 60's, hardly summer like weather. So Welcome August, bring on the heat and the renewing strength we need to pick up the pieces of our life and begin anew!

Dressing Table/ Vanity's @ the Paris Apartment

Claudia at the http://parisapartment.wordpress.com is having a vanity for humanity pic posting! Go see all of the beautiful vanity's there! I really use mine though, not just a pretty picture!I love, love, love my vanity and have had one since I was 14, can't imagine not sitting down to my daily rituals every day! Every one should have one, none of this standing in the bathroom stuff!!

The above is my jewelry, accessory dresser! All of the bling lives here!
My vanity sits in a nitch that was part of the original homestead house, 2 foot thick stone walls form the walls, this was a pass through into a bedroom that now houses a huge bathroom, the vanity if from the 40's and painted a color called Ruby Slippers, the pink chair I got on Ebay for a song, it still goes up and down with a foot pedal and the pink vinyl is original!

Still storming!!



Okay, the last heard from me, was shingles, sprained ankle, kids shipped to Grandmas.....it got worse!! Oh yes, managed to find a lovely chest cold to next in my lungs, that required not one but TWO rounds of antibiotics and the shipping of my sorry self to Grandmas! Back at home with a week of relative wellness under my belt, but I'm afraid to believe it is truly over. Calendar is still cleared and I will be attempting re-entry at a much slower pace. It is the middle of July and only 68 degrees here in Wyoming, maybe it isn't just me that is missing summer, seems the whole state is a bit off kilter!!

I don't camp because of campfire smoke....stinky!

So when I drug this cutie home, my soul mate was in shock!!
No intentions of camping, this gem is going beside the creek, for some glamping!









Glamping, means close to home, all of the amenities, pretend camping just for an hour or two!! Then back to the real world with hot baths and bathrooms!!
