It's been a long week...

well...I'm working on my second week of work and finally getting back into the groove. I really didn't miss it, but I do like the money hahaha! I've been crazy busy all week long with work, scrapbooking classes, a convention meeting, and helping my mom move a ceramic business from Winnipeg!!! I'm so looking forward to doing a little scrapbooking this weekend at the Brandon Scrapbookers Convention...I just have to get my class stuff ready.


Last week, on my first day back at work we had a grass fire near our house which burned a lot of area. It went about 1/2 a mile long and I'm not sure how wide. Take a look. It came close to the house but luckily did not touch it. We do have a burn patch on our lawn however. It started out on the road, but no one knows how it started. But with this weather it's going to be dangerous until we get some moisture.
This was what our yard looks like. I had just taken this picture when we went back to see how close the fire got to the house.
This was the second wave of fire. They had it all under control and then got their truck stuck in the slough that the wind started it up on the opposite side. We had just gone home and Marc was watering down the tree line when I saw a little flame behind him and went outside to warn hime and this is the second fire.
This is a picture from down our lane looking toward the house. It burned quite a big area
This is from that second blaze. Heading past our house.

Weekend is over...

Had a great weekend. Scrapbooked all day Sunday at Scrapbooking at Shelley's I got a few layouts done which was great as I've been trying to scrapbook at home and I don't seem to accomplish anything LOL! Will post a couple of layouts later.

Right now I'm enjoying my time away from my son as he's in his new Daycare which he will be starting fulltime next week! I did a run to Maple Leaf to make sure that I could still get into my locker and timed it to make sure I had enough time. I am so not ready to go back to work. I need another year LOL!

Went for a walk today

Took a walk with Preston and my furkids and took along my camera to take pictures for a Photo Challenge on Paws On Scrapbooking Forum. What fun! Only got 2 photos for the challenge, but I took some photos to make myself a banner on my Scrapbooking blog. I'll be working on that tomorrow. I'll post a couple of my pics later as my little man is calling...Later!
