Good morning, what a beautiful day today is going to be.
Sitting here in my recliner with the front door open, a full cup of coffee in my favorite Cal Poly mug, and the comfort quilt that El's Angels sent to me when my grandma died. Surrounded in comfort and love. It's good to be me.
Last night was dinner with the parents, more sandwich fixin's and a fruit salad. Dad loves fruit salad. I did notice that the leftover sandwich stuff from last week was still in the fridge so maybe we need to have BLT's next week. Or I need to figure out something light that we can eat. Jerry and I eat so much less than we used to and they eat less than us.
Today is oil change day. I will get there when they open and go through the express lube. When I bought that car I wisely got the lifetime oil change. If it's time to rotate my tires that is only $10. I have to travel to Fresno 1 1/2 hours to the dealer to get it done but that is also where some bigger stores are and I would like to find some summer tops that fit.
If time permits I will also get my hair cut. I'm looking pretty shaggy. And when I get home I a going to make a Mothers Day project with the boys next door for their mom. I'm going to make the same thing for my step mom too. just a jar with artificial flowers, it will be in a gift bag that we have to design ourselves and there will be a card to go with it.
Velda, thank you for waking me up. sounds like a great visit with your sis.
Lois, just got my Joanns email. 20% off the total purchase. The Joans in the town where I get my oil change is much larger than the one closest to me so I may just take the tour and see what I can find, heaven knows I need more. What a treat in your lunch with the kids
Becca, hope you and your nieces have a great visit. I would love to sit in your yard on a nice evening with a glass of iced tea and have a visit. For me when you talk about your family visiting I always picture a joyful place to be.
Flo, dang it with you and those UTI's. I didn't realize you had a third kid. A grandbaby is a perfect reason to travel. Love Llamas, it will be a cute baby quilt. check your email from me.
Maryz, I am curious to see what bedroom set Bill picks out. Not sure we could go from a king to a queen size, we have a Moose sleeping between us. work is still at home. We are supposed to have a conference call on the 19th with more information but until then I am home. It was a year in April and I have to say I don't miss not going in to the office. The only draw back is I don't have a printer. I refuse to use my personal printer for office work.
Jana, is the ceiling delivered? can the handy man start? This morning we are at 51* but should see 80* before the day is over. still sleeping with the windows open which I love.
Diane, glad to know the mamo was routine. I get all my yearly doctor stuff done at the end of the year because at the beginning of the year we have to show we have had a yearly company paid for physical to qualify for a discount on our medical insurance. Glad you have panels for those donation quilts, it sure will make them go faster.
Sherry, sorry you couldn't go to the show with Judi. I imagine it would be a lot of walking and standing, so not good for knees.
Sharona, I have seen the leafguard gutters but wouldn't you still have to sweep the needles off of the screen? Sorry about the snow, We sure could use it in Cali, I'm predicting it to be a drought and fire season this summer.
Judi, amazing how cigarette smoke penetrates everything. you can smell it on people and everything they touch. I am so thankful Jerry doesn't smoke anymore. Glad you enjoyed the quilt show, and the quilt shop. what a fun day it must have been.
Katy, what plants did you order from QVC? flowers or veggies? happy gardening.
Maryq, When will those Canadians get there? i'm thinking soon but can't remember the date. Glad David got to AK. where is his family? Enjoy the garage sale at Viv's, gosh it sounds like something I would love to go to. you are a whirlwind, so many exciting things going on for you.
Lori, I loved the picture you posted on FB of you and your mom. Two beautiful ladies, I could see the love in your smiles. I am glad you are near enough to your parents to get to see them often. When you see your dad give him an extra hug from me. The house is surely quiet for him with no one to chat with all day. He is blessed to have you nearby. I am also glad your mom is being made comfortable. xo
Well guess I need to hit the shower and head to yucky hot Fresno. Not my favorite destination but it is what it is. You all have a super day and a wonderful Mothers day weekend.

That's nice that you are helping the boys with Mother's Day gifts. I loved helping my kids make things for their grammas.
