Willy Nilly Friday Five - September 11, 2020

 Hello & Welcome!

So it's time for another edition of WILLY NILLY FRIDAY FIVE 

1.  First up:  I've started stamping cards again!  If you want to read about this particular card or check out any of my other cards there is a link at the top of my page that will take you to my stamping blog.


2.This is an "abstract edit of a photo I submitted for 52 Frames.  The original shot is below.  I had fun playing around with it to come up with this edit.


3.  We had a power outage this week on the 7th.  This happened less then a block from where we live.



 The tree took down a pole and lines and then split this pole which is right across the street on the corner from where we live.  We were without power for about 5-6 hours.   It happened around 4:30 pm and the power didn't come back until around 10:00 pm.  I usually sleep with a fan and the television running to block out snoring & other noises.  Needless to say I didn't get any sleep until after the power was back on.

4.  Hmm...what's this?  - Well we had a big event happen on Tuesday the 1st of September.  Can you guess what it was?  Check out #5


5.  Our daughter had a baby on the 1st.  Please welcome, 

Joelle Marian-Jean Martin to our family.  There will be more pictures of her for sure in later posts.

 We think she's pretty special.  So now Coleen is a "Big Sister."


 
Getting tips from her mom on how to change a diaper!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

  8. The smoke in the air was intense when we returned to Maple Valley last Monday. It was partially cleared by midweek, but has really returned for the weekend.

  10. Congratulations! She is adorable.

    That with the electric lines is scary..we had the top blow down out of neighbor's tree and hit the wire and it came down across the garage. Roger was in it. I kept hearing this noise and could not think what it was. I looked out and the wire was right in front of the garage door arcing...that is what made the noise. It melted rock in the cement of the step into the garage and caught a corner on fire.

    I called 911...was so scared I could hardly function. And they were right here in less than five minutes. Roger had had a bucket of water inside for quenching stuff he had welded...he threw water, bucket and all on the fire and put it out. But I was about sick after it happened thinking about what could have been.

I am seeing so many girls, it is a nice change as they say when boys are born, and we have plenty in our brood, war is inevitable. I pray.
