Just had to share this song from Wicked...make sure and hit stop play on my music box!!
Went to the quarry with Emma (my granddaughter) and Cheri (BBF) to pick up some more flagstone. New Mexico Travertine, Inc. This quarry is located on 15 acres 30 miles south of Albuquerque. Their quarries are west of Belen, Albuquerque, NM where they extract the most beautiful Travertine in the world. www.nmtravertine.com
We picked out a couple of pallets that would suit our needs and the best fork lift operator came out to load them into our trucks! And he was the best...a true artist!!
My truck is the red one and boy did it load down when the stone was put in! Ha! Then we added stone from Cheri's truck to mine because hers was almost touching the ground!!! Oh boy! Do we get into things or what!!
Oh! By the way! I paid $67.50 for my pallet of stone!! How about that for prices. We picked from what they call their scrap pallets!!!!!!!! Amazing!! This was my third pallet by the way!
And here is what I have done with the flagstone....
Pretty cool, huh? And of course this path leads to the rock garden out front!!
On Friday, last week, Cheri, Emma and I went to Santa Fe to see

With all the shopping and placing of flagstone, I haven't had any time to spend on my collage!! Sigh! Now that Emma is back home, I must get back to work!! On the painting that is!!
Sunrise....
Just had to add these...I took them last week!! Fabulous!!
Ha! While I was placing the flagstone in the patio, my toe caught the edge of one of the stones and down I went. And guess what I hit? BOTH KNEES!! My bad, sore knees!! Waaaaaa!!!! And talk about hurt...wowzers! Did it ever! Now I have bruises all over my legs and arms. They are gorgeous shades of purple and green!! Sigh!
Did I tell you about my doctor visit? The knee caps are bad! And they really don't have a surgery to correct that. I can get them coated on the back side where they are pitted and worn but he said he doesn't have any current data on this new surgery. If it lasts or not!?! I could also get two knee replacements or I could wait and for 6 months to a year and he will have more data on the coating surgery. So I opted to wait! It only hurts when I kneel on them (excruciating); go up and down stairs and getting up out of chairs. Things where I have to flex them. Walking is no problem!! So that is good! Won't interfere with my exercise.
A couple of weeks ago, Emma and I visited Dr. John at his office. There Emma spotted a nice looking young engineer ( Lucas ) and he spotted her!! They were going to have an office cook out, so we stayed and of course, sat with Lucas and Dr. John! Lucas is a Princeton graduate!! Oh my!!
A few days later, we invited Lucas to join us at the Olive Garden for dinner...which he happily agreed to. We had a wonderful dinner and Lucas and Emma shared a dessert!! As we were leaving, he obtained Emma's phone number and called her on his way home!! Asked her out for the Saturday! Who knows...maybe we have started something here!! Ha!! He is a nice young man by the way and cute too!!
Well, I think I have Randomed enough for the day! Why not join in? Randomizing is fun!! And don't forget to check out Stacy at Stacy Uncorked and see what she is up to; as well as the other Randomizers!! As you know, we are keeping this going in honor of Keely. the UnMom, who has taken off to fight Zombies or some such thing and is taking a break from hosting Random Tuesday. We sure do miss her!!
So why don't you jump on in the Random Tuesday pool and keep the party going!! You can also join me for Silent Saturday where I post photos and poetry...or just photos!! Also a fun time!!
This has been fun!! Thanks so much for stopping by and as always, I enjoy and look forward to your comments!!
Have a blessed and magical day!!
Hugging you
