Good morning Girls
Oh such a pretty day out there today! Might even get warm enough to open up some windows again! A few more degrees and it would be warm enough to wash them!
Miss you all yesterday. I was up at 0630 (WAY too early for me) and out of the house by 8 to meet my sis-in-law to go check out the craft store! OMG... what a disaster! We arrived before they opened the doors, luckily found a place to park. But had to stand in a line that went practically all around the building to wait to get in. Once in, there were of course, no carts left and it was wall-to-wall people (99.9% women of course) I found some nice fabric, threw it in my cart, then got in line to have it cut... Only 2 staff cutting fabric, and I was probably the 15th in line. By then the check out line was literally ALLLLL the way around the store. Only 5 check out lanes. We decided to skip it after all and went out to lunch instead. I saw on facebook later that there was a 3 hour wait just to GET IN and a 2 hour wait through the check out line! And the "liquidation" prices weren't all the great... 15-20% off is all! So I don't feel too bad about leaving my fabric behind--it's certainly not that I needed any!!!
Lois...Glad to hear you are feeling much better! And you found Farina!! Ok, I'd gag
if I had to eat the stuff... but you for got it!
Diane... Here's a little trick I learned... when I've lost my posts, especially my nice long ones... every so often , as I type, I highlight, then right click and do "copy". That way if I lose what I already type, I can go back and do "paste" which I think is also the CTRL Z Maryz mentions. So frustrating to have a nice long post and then zap it's Gone!!!
Judi... Hey, I'm with you... oatmeal cookies for breakfast is just fine... it's got oatmeal and Eggs!! so you've got at least 2 of your food groups there. Add a little fruit and coffee and you have all 4 !
It's quite a job going through all those photos isn't it. The thing is, our kids don't want boxes and boxes and pictures, so what do we do with them . Every thing is digital now. I have a lot of pictures on CD's and the little diskettes---no way to look at them-- computers don't even have a CD drive or a disk drive anymore! Oh to have the energy of a 20 year ago again. Funny thing is, I remember My Mom being so frustrated at wanting to do some many things and being slowed down by age... Now I'm in the same boat!
Valerie... I had to google Adrenal gland just to see what/where it was! I had no idea ! I sure hope they can figure out what's what!! I must have missed it... did you not go on the fishing trip?
Jana... Lots of activity around your house, kids coming and going! My Evie is going to Costa Rica this summer with her science glass at school and of course she needs funds. I offered to contribute. I'd love to have my 2nd bathroom painted and thought that would be a good way for her to earn a few extra bucks! I'm waiting to see if she will go for it!
Katy... Glad you got some lights set up for your outside! Great idea! I don't know much about PSA numbers, but I'm think Jim's number is a little high!! Is this prostate thing new for him? How does he feel about going to Florida?
Sharon.... You have to have gall bladder surgery too? Hope they don't dilly dally getting you set up for it. I had mine out many years ago, on an emergency basis. It wasn't my favorite surgery, but it was nice to be out of pain!!! I think my favorite surgery was my hyster! I felt so good after that one and it was just so nice to not have to buy Kotex any more!!
Maryz... Yes, Laurie and I were both a little disappointed in the craft sale. We might have stayed and waited through the lines, but a friend of Laurie's that came along just couldn't handle it--and we wondered why she came along anyway. But we can go back in a few weeks, though I doubt there will be much left. I decided to take apart the wedding quilt and lay it out differently--still on point, but get it lined up right. It just bugs me that it's goofy.
How do you feel about BBQ pork sandwiches! I took out a couple pork chops the other day and think I will cook them up for supper tonight!
Tina... Oh darn... something got your chickens? Hope Frankie can find the culprit(s) and shoot them in their little behinds!
Chriss.. Oh yes, by all means, be careful on that lawn mower. They are kind of fun to drive and I did love mowing my lawn with my tractor, until I hit the hilly spots in my lawn. Gravity does suck when you try to stay on a mower on a hill! I did try to mow a quilt patten in my yard once, but it's didn't turn out so good. If you decide not to do it yourself, can you put an ad in a local paper for a high school/college kid to come do it? I eventually hired someone to do mine and it sure was nice to have it done.... gave me more sewing time.
Here is it Friday again already. Trying to decide which project to work on today. There's little messes everywhere again, from pulling fabric out of the garage to make a little project for Jen's student to piles of 30's prints from Katie to sort and plan a quilt out of! So with a little more coffee I should probably get to it! This afternoon I have an Association Board meeting (kind of regretting my decision to volunteer to be secretary
)
So I'll leave you with my usual party thought..... I wish you all a Fantastic Friday
