Good Morning Girls
Another whirlwind weekend around here... so obviously I didn't make it here to check in and chat! Kids are off to school and I think Kris is lounging in her room, so it's nice and quiet here. Looks like a beautiful day and the leaves are turning such beautiful colors out my window. I don't think they will last much longer tho, as we have had a few strong winds lately... soon they will all be on the ground!
Judi.... Can't say I'm a huge fan of baby showers etc anymore either... I think it was a lot more fun when I was young and having babies
But for you it was a good chance to see family and I suppose that made it all worthwhile!
Izzy.... SO SO glad to hear you are feeling human again! Did your DD get sick at all! Is she still able to go to her school/daycare now? I hope your DDIL has some good books or something to do while she's quarantined... I don't know but I think I'd go nuts laying in bed ALL day...
Velda..... Do you have the Joann App on your phone? If not, check it out.. there's always coupons there too! For a minute there I thought you were going to be traveling for the Grand daughter's graduation, but then I re-read and see you are dog sitting! Congratulations to your DGD...
Becca... Cleaning here too.. just can't decide where to start... Or if I should ignore and go sew instead, though my sewing room is a huge mess and I'm not sure I can even get at my machine.
Maryz..... "Rocks in the backpack of life" Love that... I'm going to remember that. It's not just for the material stuff we have around us that makes our lives heavy... it's the mental stuff... resentments, and unnecessary grudges and hurts of the past that can weigh us down. I think I'm carrying some extra rocks I need to get rid of.
Jana... SO SO glad to hear that Michael is home. That virus must have hit him really really hard! But it's such wonderful news that he is home. I just know you must be ecstatic! I've thought of him often! How are the kids doing?
Chriss.... WHAT????? you tested positive??? Where in the heck did you get exposed???? Hard to tell I bet. With the vaccine I hope your symptoms are really wild. Seems that it can vary a bit even with the shot. My niece was vaccinated and got terribly sick, but her DH was + and never got sick at all! Are you quarantined? We just all got over nasty colds and coughs here.
So it's Monday.... a new start to the week, a blank slate.... Lots to do, since I did NOTHING over the weekend. Saturday Peg and I went to a huge outdoor craft fair. Lots of cute things.. none of which I needed--more stuff! Somethings I can do, like fancy dish towels etc. I did buy a darling pair of those legging pants for Evie for Christmas and a couple really neat books, that a gal and her husband make... like a new address book and calendar for next year. Yesterday Evie and I went up to the big craft store in St. Cloud. She had some money burning a whole in her pocket and loves doing those Diamond Art things so she picked out one. And of course I couldn't get out of there without a little fabric... the had some really nice stuff for 40% off and I found some pretty orange flannel to make Shawn and Brennen shirts for Christmas.
After another cup of coffee I'm headed down stairs to wash up the fabric, and it's time to wash my sheets. My ADD has kicked in big time and I have 5 projects I'm in the middle of so I need to tame them this morning and try to concentrate on just one at a time!
so... off I go... Wishing you all A Marvelous Monday
