It’s Crazy Out there

As you know I’m in my second year of Community College working on re-educating myself, so that I’m a little better qualified for jobs in my area.  I spent today going over a list of companies that I have sent resume to, and deciding which companies  I need to follow up on.  Soon I’ll be in the unemployed group category that has changed careers in order to find a job.  It’s crazy tough to find a job these days.

Have a great Day!

Finding that niche

I’ve had my blog now for a couple of years, and I’m still trying to figure out what my niche is or do I have one or am I just a rambler?   I write about some of the projects I’ve done, about being unemployed, being on food management, being a widow, going back to college after all these years, raising teenagers.  Hey! I do have a niche it’s my life at “My little Colorado Cottage”

Have a Great Day!

They’re Here & Now They’re Gone

 

I got a surprise visit from my grandsons last week. Things happen and apparently the communications got crossed on which day the boys would be picked up and dropped off, I happen to be mid way where the boys get dropped off from one parent and picked up by the other parent.

Don't get me wrong I love seeing the grandson’s but this week wasn’t a good one for me.  What every one didn’t understand, was grandma and auntie had midterms this week!

Thanks goodness auntie’s girlfriends they came to the rescue and watched the grandson until I got back from school.  thank goodness all went well with midterms we all survived the week. 

 

 

Aren’t they just the most adorable boys.

Really had a great time seeing them they grow up so fast at this age.

We had a few great days so that the boys could play outside.  Grandma’s house is pretty little to handle all the energy these boys have.

This little guy wanted to got outside every time brother went out.

 

This is big brother making a trap with string that was laying around.  I don’t have a clue what it was he wanted to catch but this project took about two hours

 

 

 

 

My daughter picked them up this afternoon.  This evening I’m just re-cooperating and enjoying the quite time and reminiscing about the week I had with the grand babies. What a big job it is raising little one.  There’s a reason that most women over fifty don’t normally have children I don’t have the energy any more I’ve notice my patience is not what it used to be also.

Have a Great!

Spring is creeping into Northwest Colorado Yipee!

 

The snow is slowly melting and the temperature is staying above zero!     In my front yard up next to the house foundation, I notice Daffodil’s and Crocuses trying to sprout up. I think Spring may be coming

This is the back of my house that is shaded by the garage and doesn't get much sun, but the snow is melting very quickly. I took a picture of this same wheel barrow last month and you couldn't see the wheel due to all the snow we had.

 

This is the front of my how that get most of the morning sun.  There is still snow in the shaded areas, but I have faith that  warmer days are coming.

Have a Great Day!
