Strange to not have a job!

It's strange to not have a job. I will admit I like being able to get caught up on lots of things! I've cleaned out the garage, condensed Jason's stored things, replaced the food in our 72-hour packs, cleaned out cupboards, planted the garden, crocheted, read, washed all my kitchen decor, cleaned and organized for Amy in her studio and down in Phoenix for Jason and Brandy. It's fun to visit them and see our new sweet, darling, happy baby granddaughter - I made three trips in her first six weeks of life! I certainly couldn't have done that if I was working!! So, being sad at the end of my job didn't last long, not with so much to do and a new grandbaby to dote on.

Tomorrow I am painting the kitchen! I've put this off for years because I didn't have time. It will be a bold blue on one wall and pale blue on the other walls. I took all the Wizard of Oz stuff down and I will re-organize what I want to put back. It will be less and more eclectic - when you look at the items you might have to think about how they play a part in the movie. Of course I will still have my favorite Oz cookie jars and other items - I can't get rid of those!

Riley and I are going to Yellowstone sometime this summer and we have a trip planned to the Grand Canyon with the family.

And with Parkers living just 22 minutes away, there's always a project in the works with Jera! We made several quilts this spring, painted at Ben and Kristi's house, we're going to put a wallpaper border in her sewing room and we've found a few antique stores for ideas.

I know there is a job down the road for me - just don't know what it is yet. I did write an article for the Church News this week and it was good to be writing again. Plus I am editing an online newspaper in Springville and that's fun. Today I made five pair of earrings with my friend Tamela. we've been trying to do this together for about four years. Yes, I think I'm ok not having a job for now!
