RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

It has rained and then sunshined here all day. Our garden really needed a good drink and so did the grass that just got planted, but I do hope it's just about done. I don't have anything crafty to share tonight now that Charlie's back to work I don't have alot of time :( I do have 3 anniversaries coming up at the end of the month (oh my that's like next week!!! uhggg!) that I have to get cards made for and I still need to do Charlie and my dad's father's day cards. We'll see if I can get crafty in the morning after bible study. There's not been a whole lot going on just back to the regular routine of the running the kids,grocery shopping,paying bills same ol' same ol'

I just wanted to touch base and hope that everybody is doing wonderful!
