Happy 4th-staying busy here

We went to a parade yesterday and fireworks last night. I loved it-it was all only 2 miles from my house and I didn't have to fight the crowds to go downtown. Been busy painting my family room. Going over everything with a bas coat and then sponge painting 3 different colors into the big picture frame pannels on the wall. Really beach as the colors are a light terra cotta, sage green and a blue. Also trying to stay busy as this is the 1 year anniversary of my mom dying. It's not as bad as I imagined it would be-just lots of memories. I think it helps to be here in Texas as I left all the bad stuff in Ohio. Hope y'all have a great weekend. Hey where's the rest of the Texas gals-Mary? Elena? MJ?? ((HUGS)) Becky

Hi Becky!!! Glad to hear things are good down there Texas-way! Love the color combination you're using on the walls, sounds really pretty. I'm soaking up all the ideas everyone posts to use in the future house, God knows it needs a makeover in the worst way! Very 70s! Dd says the wallpaper in the foyer has to be the first to go! It is really yucky!

You've had a hard day to go through, hope you're hanging in there, girlfriend. You're not missing much here in Ohio, just hot, humid and violent weather, same old, same old! LOL!

Take care, and pop in more often, This board is getting pretty lonesome these days.

Love and hugs, Pam

Becky,

The colors for the walls sounds great. An earthy kind of feeling I think.

Been a few years since my mother passed. The first year it just seemed so unreal. I think the second year was worse for me. Time does help tho.

Hugs,

Rain

Here, Becky...When are we going to have another Texas get together??? Elena might be in Peru for the summer but I want to meet MJ before she runs off to CA and gets married. Also, at the end of July, Debby will be there around Houston. I haven't heard from Janet, Jeri or KC in ages, not even sure I have a correct email addy for them any more. Seems like the last few came back.

Been busy here, working 2 days a week, keeping every Friday for Bill and cramming everything else into the other 2 days of the week. My gardens are looking great, especilly with the June and July rains. Hope you are staying high & dry. BIG HUGS. ..Free/Mary
