Good monday morning all you bloggers!
i have the day off, well, mostly, i go into work today at 4:30. it will be nice to have the day to do what ever i wish. Hannah and i are being whisked away to Brucemore, for story time by Sheila and her crew of co-horts :) that should be interesting.
Michael is getting ready to go into work today and leave me wihtout a car. our truck has lost all its break fluid. we are getting it towed and will have to see what the diagnosis is. Michael thinks it is something with the wheel valve, stem internal combustion thingy :>
Hannah is still asleep, which is great for me. once Michael leaves i will get out my vacuum and clean my house! one thing about having a small place, is that i can have it all cleaned in about 40 minutes! well that, and i know how to clean fast! like lightning.
we had a great weekend. Saturday we went to Rachel's wedding. She looked so beautiful, i had to keep telling myself it was Rachel! She looked great and i was so blessed to see the love between the two of them! Michael came too and actually danced a few times with me. something we havent done as a married couple! i know, married 4 years and never danced together.
after the wedding we headed home to change then over the Healing the Heartland at the Ice Arena/kingston. there were thousands of people there! more than i have seen at a single event in a LONG time. it was awesome. we got right down in front, right in front of all the speakers, Michael's choice, and waited for Newsboys. i knew most of their songs, it was wonderful praising God with all the other people there. two band members fell on their butts running around. it was a bit funny, but that is what you get for running on a slippery stage in a previously flooded area. there is still a lot of moisture in CR.
speaking of moisture, i had a lady come ito Michaels wanting us to rework a shadow box she did. because it kept 'falling' inside the frame. i asked her if it was in an office downtown. she said yes, i said, well there is still a lot of moisture down there left over from the place being under 8 feet of water less than a year ago. she said- its a brand new building. as if moisture only creeps into old buildings. DUH!!
well, Hannah is awake :( i wanted to get the place cleaned before she got up, oh well. she is a good helper, maybe i'll get her going in the tub scrubbing away!
have a great day all!

ha! you couldnt see the stuff from work because i didnt post it! i forgot to delete that line and it was getting late to get to work.
watercolor a customer brought in. it already had the beige matting on it.
i designed this look with a fillet, which has to be cut at an angle and fit to the matting.

i went with a suede mat, it has excellent texture to it and looks rich with all the highs and lows in the color of the matting
The frame i chose has all the colors from the watercolor in it, but also a bit of silver to bring out the light from the birch tree. The bronze coloring on the frame really worked well with the fall colors in the backround

here is the completed piece. what a fun job i have! i enjoy it greatly. i will try to take more pics of pieces i create!


i think i have the best job in the world, well on days when we actually can help customers and they are willing to take our advice. i have been doing this a while and like when people take my opinion. some just ignore the options we give them.
have a great day!

ouch
Here was the most exciting thing to happen at the Mantz home this weekend...


ouch!
Hannah was running with her arms in her sleeves cause she was cold. hit the concrete and flipped over and skinned her knees. I didnt see it happen, but forseened it happen. i just knew when i saw those arms in the sleeves she was going to biff! Thankfully Sheila was near and scooped her up until i could get to her for comfort. Thanks Aunt Sheila! we love you very much!
we were at Ben Gray's grad party and Jeanne let us use a washcloth and band-aid. Hannah and i were both grateful for that. nothin like a skinned knee, and face for that matter.
thought i would show you some of my work from work.

what can separate us from the love of Jesus Christ?
nothing this world can even change
though i once was lost, now i've been given grace
it's a mystery, that i would not chase.
You, You, You are are all this heart is beating for
Jesus You all this heart is longing for.
i dont understand it, how you love the way you do
even when ive fallen you always bring me back to You.
what can seperate us from the love of Jesus Christ?
so, this is the song i worshiped to on the way to church yesterday, and boy, let me tell you it was a very freeing, tears flowing time. that is probably the thing i love the best about days, being able to worship God anywhere, anytime. this just happened to be on the way to worship with other believers.
yesterday was one of the hardest days since Dad went to be with Jesus. after arriving at church and listening to the Bible study-which i cant even tell what triggered the thoughts-but i just sat and cried. thinking about the elderly couples there and their life-long relationships just made me sad for my mom...i reached over and squeezed Michael's hand and just gave him the "i am drowning here and really need a rescue" he scooted over and put his arm around me and just protected me. what a man! If it would have been just women, i would have shared my heart. good thing Anita is starting a women's cell group! YES! sharing time for me.
Michael continued to protect me through the pre church chatter by just standing there and being close. when i saw mom, i had to tell her how i was feeling. then i felt bad, because i know she was feeling bad that i was feeling so bad. at one point she said she wanted to go home, i am so glad she didnt.
then the music started...
i could see and hear dad in the 2 introductory songs, swaying his body back and forth and raising his fist high in the air in surrender to Jesus. i know he is fully aware now of the power in the songs we can but sing about. butt dust... :) stuelke-speak
then it was my turn to be the protector, i just stood there by mom during the greeting while wonderful friends/family members came to share in the tears and human longings that dad wouldnt even be able to understand now. he is free in every sense of the world. (that was a pun on every sense of the word, by the way)
by the sermon i was feeling better, there were many Dad-ism jokes and that made me feel better. i am glad for my sense of humor to stave off feelings - stave it off 1, 2 ,3. (stuelke-speak)
after church, we came home to get changed and headed for garage sales, which were flops! at home we washed the car and did some more yard work. i think i'm gonna like it here, again subtle Annie reference, for those who dont know Stuelke-speak.
we had a nice Sunday here at 515, now i am off to work to have fun this monday morning, have a great day!

so, i dont think i will be mobile uploading. it has to be sent via txt mesage, and the limit of letters is still the same. so i f you see my posts from yesterday, you have to read them backwards to understand anything.
i am work free until 10AM today. i really dislike the 10 - 6:30 shift, but can't really do anything about it for now. work went well yesterday. the 3 day weekend i have every other weekend, have been and will contine to be very hard to come back to work from. any and all problems from the weekend are left for monday morning. ah, the joys of management. i was able to work through all 7 or so problems and get them fixed totally, or partially! go me!
i think my favorite part of my job, well other than helping people spend hundreds of dollars on a layout i choose for them, i cuttin mats. it is a very fun process and i enjoy getting to layout the lines and use the fancy cutter to do all the work. it is fascinating to get all your beveled edges to line up and come out clean. i cut a mat with 5 openings in it the other day! it was quite the feat. in middle school we had to do a bit of drafting, which really piqued my interest. i remember as a young girl using a ruler to make shapes and patterns. That is what i get paid to do now :) what fun!
i had a good 3 day weekend. Friday i cleaned a house, repotted my indoor plants, headed to get mom and go to Liz's to get some popcans/bottles she had been collecting-it filled the truck bed! after that we moved a couch from mom's to my house. we got pizza for dinnner and after braiding Hannah's hair and munching on pizza we went on a car ride to view flood damaged neighborhoods. it is a sobering reminder of the fleetingness of life and physical material items. a good reminder for us to continue to pray for these people.
saturday i awoke with the dawn, jumped out of bed(literally) and took Chapman for a walk. i even let him off his leash to run in the field at Erskine. i do love early mornings, something i got from my Dad! after our walk, which was quite chilly. i started to clean out our garage. we still have some things left from the previous owners that had to go through and pitch some. when Michael got up, we loaded the truck, another full load, and got ready to go to the dump. before the dump we headed to mom's so Michael could get her lawn mower started. we had to get into the garage, and that was hard for both mom and myself. seeing traces of Dad, and knowing he didnt take anything with him was another reminder of fleeting material items...
Michael started the mower right up! it was great. mom had to go to Chick Lits and we headed to the dump, dumped and headed home. our plan was to load up some things to take to the cabin and to Michaels parents cabin, and mow out there. we got a bit sidetracked here and i ended up filling our yardy with yard waste and a tree i nippered down with my fancy nippers. all the while, michael was scrubbing down the innerds from our cabin fridge that had molded a bit. i also had him scrub down my NEW laying out chair! new, that we recovered it from flooded ace hardware and never cleaned it. it is clean now!
we headed to the in-laws cabin to find them not there. so we dropped off their plunder and headed to our vacation villa. michael got the mower started, and Hannah and i picked up sticks and started a fire. i did a tiny bit of landscaping-or weeding, landscaping sounds much more interesting. and the mower wheel fell off. that was the end of our cabin trip.
i have to be going. i'll post about mother's day later, maybe. im headed to cash in my $20 worth of bedding plants/flowers! yee haw!
