Happy Memorial Day. As we all enjoy our picnics, BBQ's, and gatherings, let's take a moment to remember and honor the oh so many men and women who have given their lives so we have the freedoms we enjoy today. May we never take them, or our freedom, for granted.
JANA - so sorry for your family loss. I hope you have some good memories of this SIL. And you will get the hang of those insulin shots. Is Michael giving them to himself or are you doing it? I'm sure in diabetes classes you learned to vary the injection sites, stomach, thighs, etc. Most people can't reach their own deltoids so that site is often used when other people administer the shots. My good friend, at one time, had to give herself 6 shots/day. She is now doing just one a day, will be 87 in a couple of months and going strong! I hope those wasps vacate your BBQ soon! UGH!
JUDI - how was the big graduation dinner last night? How did your knee hold up?
CHRISS - bye bye bed! Glad you have a comfy couch. Moose must have his comforts! All we have are loveseats. Scottie fits fine but he wouldn't want to share with us! We talked about new furniture, a long couch included, this summer but we ended up getting the new bed instead. So I think furniture will have to wait another year.
MARY Q - I think I caught your energy burst yesterday. I ended up doing my entire kitchen. Polished cabinetry, appliances, granite countertops, mopped floor. I also did the bathroom and polished all the wood furniture and vac'd the entire main level of the house. And did a load of laundry, made a charcuterie board to take to friends, and still had about 2 hrs to sew. But I was tired last night!
LORI - Loved your quilt! What size is it?
SHARONA - You are right - those bamboo sheets didn't breathe. They were really hot. We put on our Costco cotton sheets and now are much happier. What do dates taste like? Hmmmm.... They are a fruit, a bit sticky, not too sweet. I love them. There are different varieties so some are larger than others, but they all pretty much taste - well - like dates! Whenever we go to Arizona, we have to have a date milkshake, a treat we don't find here in WA. I don't blame Jim for wanting to skirt the big cities. We do, too! My local friend loves Chicago and thought we were crazy for purposely avoiding it (while pulling a 30-ft fifth-wheel trailer!). And I think she is crazy for purposely going into the city! And yet we're friends.
LYN - glad those storms missed you and you enjoyed a great day out with the kids. Beef stroganoff rolled into crepes?? Trying to imagine that.
Well, my house is clean now, laundry is done. Maybe I'll go look around outside for something to do. We've had a lot of windy days and I know the yard is full of little twigs, leaves, cones, etc. And it's time to feed my roses again. And of course, I'll work on my butterflies some. Today my son, Mike, my middle child, turns 49. He was my one and only that was born on his actual due date. Lara was 22 days over and Autumn was 6 days early. Though my second two deliveries were planned C-sections, and my sisters accused me of cheating when Aut was born on my dad's birthday.
Remembering our lost military personnel. God bless them, their families, and our country.

guess we're all on the same page..... this year is zooming by it seems to me.
and then yesterday I cleaned my sewing room and Frankie installed my window AC for me and needed my help and it was Dad's night so I made fries in the air fryer and Frankie cooked burgers on the grill.
