Stone Walls, Sewing Machines and Speeding Tickets..

Today was a BEAUTIFUL day and it gave me a good opportunity to finish wall 1 of 6. This first wall is made of red drywall, it's 3 1/2 feet tall and 14 feet long. Wall two will be tumbled buff drywall and will be the same length and height. I think it's all going to turn out pretty rockin! Now only 5 more walls to go and then the 6 different patio displays and I'm ready for our spring selling season. I just have to keep telling myself one thing at a time or the rock yard becomes overwhelming with all the projects I have in mind.

On to more domestic things... Stella got her first sewing machine for Christmas this year. We finally got a chance to bust it out and start sewing together strip of material just to get a feel for it. The sewing machine is a real beauty. This weekend Stella and I plan on hitting up JoAnne Fabric and finding some fun fabric she can start working on. I should put a disclaimer to this and say that I'm learning to sew right along with Stella. Its my mom that's teaching us! THANKS MOM!





On a final note. I had to drive to Alamosa yesterday to fight a speeding ticket. It was a REALLLLY long drive and I'm thankful that I had my brother along for company and it gave us a great opportunity to catch up. We got down there at noon and waited for the judge, explained why I was caught speeding (there really was a good reason) and the DA dropped all the charges and we were on our way back home! WOO-HOO, no points, no fines just a long drive. And in case you were wondering what my reason for speeding was.... I was on a two lane highway with a speed limit of 65 and in Colorado the law states you can accelerate past the speed limit in order to pass someone. Well I got clocked at 78 in a 65 right after I had just passed someone and I hadn't had a chance to slow down yet. The kicker was that there were 4 other people that were tagged by the same cop for doing the same thing.
I have made it a goal since last year to not speed anymore and I have been really good about it. Here's to safe driving....... :)

2013.......

Aaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!  What a spectacular, awesome, fantastic year. SO much to be thankful for but looking ahead I'm ready to kick some booty in 2014.  We got the chance to spend the holidays with family and I hope you all got to do the same! We've been on the go-go-go schedule so it was nice to slow things down a bit and enjoy each others company. I feel like there is so much to catch up on in the last few weeks but it seems like it's best to just move forward!!! Lots to look forward to in the next few weeks of the new year, Stella has her first race coming up this weekend, a race the following weekend and to add to the mix I have two of our largest shows of the year coming up for work. Flying by the seat of our pants..........Woot! Christmas Day skiing has turned into one of my most favorite family traditions!!   ....and of course Christmas Eve with the family is always great too!!!! It's so rare that we end up at the same mountain (not on a race ...

Change.....

It's time for a change.  I've been wanting to switch blog platforms for quite sometime and just wasn't finding the right one but thanks to a dear friend of mine I was turned onto squarespace. It's taken a minute or two to figure out this new platform but I'm loving it. I've imported all the old content from this blog and am ready to roll. In short, I've moved to a new neighborhood!!! Woot!  I'm humbled that even one person reads my ramblings but when my numbers started hitting the 1000's on a monthly basis I was blown away. For those of you who read this with love, THANK YOU and for those who don't THANK YOU as well. My gratitude runs deep for all of you...... Hope to see you here: www.linda-rokos-watts.squarespace.com
