Today is our very last day of babysitting. We have so loved every minute with this little unexpected little girl, but we're both ready to go home. Yesterday she walked several times anywhere from 2 to 6 steps at a time. She'll be really cruisin' the joint in a few more weeks. Time for us to go!
CHRISS - I'm so glad Jerry is having some good days. That chemo can really take it out of a person. I hope you get your grocery run in today. Will that happen while the aide is there or do they provide a respite person to hang out with Jerry while you run errands.
JANA - glad you are all set for Valentine's day. What kind of cake? I'd really like white, please. When we leave for the winter, we usually are home end of January so I put out my Valentine stuff before we go. So when we get home, we'll be all set - except that this year we unexpectedly extended our stay and Valentine's Day (and our anniversary) will be long overwith! lol! Fortunately, my tablerunners are backed with St. Patrick's so it will be easy to simply flip them over.
MARY Q - that is one awesome ironing station!! Bless your brother! Sorry I confused the brothers. You're going to get your cabinet from KC today? Sounds like she is taking a lot of stuff with her. Don't let on to her brother what all is coming his way. He might cancel the plans!
And if she misses that plane, there is always another one right behind it. The airport has cots and there are always neaby motels. But just in case, I'll say a prayer. Did you get your lotto blocks made yesterday?VAL - whew! Glad you got that quilt in under the wire! What day in March is the tea that you made it for? If it's later in the month it really gives you a cushion of time. Do you think Josiah will go home today? Will family transport him or will he go back the way he came? And will you be able to make a visit soon?
LYN - for starting slow, you got a lot done yesterday. At first I thought you were happy to find a yellow gun safe! lol! Then I reread what you wrote. Guess I should have my coffee before I read the forum. As for your borders - I'm voting for the phlange. Let us kow how that goes! So you had a BBQ tasting and found one to be more smokey than the other. But you didn't say if you thought that was a good thing or a bad thing. I would go with the smokey flavor. Love it!
SHARONA - I hope you enjoyed lunch out yesterday. I remember you saying some time back that your DBIL was having back surgery. Did he not have it yet? And really - wouldn't a surgeon insist on full exams before he does surgery? They don't just do such operations on request. How is your tee shirt quilt coming along?
JUDI - well, I hope everyone is in a better, more appreciative mood this morning. You can always invite your sis and friend to stay home next time! We've had very little "sitting-out" weather here in Austin this winter. It's warmer than home but not by a lot most days, so if it weren't for the A-Team we might as well have stayed home. Glad to know the name of those birds is sand hill cranes. I don't know if storks are white in real life. I've never seen one except in cartoons and on baby announcements. lol! How are the hexies coming along? I got a whole thread of embroidery done yesterday during naptime. Hoping I'm getting my "embroidery-jo" back. I'd love to get this project finished.
FLO - sorry yesterday became a "floor day", but they have to be done from time to time. Did you find some nice plants for your yard or are you just on a scouting trip? Not sure if it's too early in MO. My sisters tell me hard freezes often happen clear up until mid-May in CO so they don't buy plants until then.
KATY - well, my friend, you deserve to have the car you want. You've waited a long time, and it's a big enough purchase that you don't have to settle. A red Malibu! You go, girl!! I can't wait to hear all about it! Glad Barny is lookin' fine and struttin' his stuff. Scottie REALLY needs a groom and cut. He is one big fluffy, shaggy, furball. And I'm not much better. We are both down for new "do's" as soon as we get home. I remember that you have twins in your family but I can't recall if they are boys, girls, one of each, identical, fraternal?
Well, I need to get hoppin'. I have a shower to take, lunches to make, breakfast to partake. Then off to our last day babysitting. We'll see the kids again tomorrow for a farewell lunch before we leave early Sunday morning.
Wishing full bobbins to everyone!
