Good afternoon from dreary but not too chilly, SW. Pa....I'm having a hard time trying to keep up with the holidays, I'm still kind of looking for Easter...But, yesterday kind of came and went and it sure wasn't like other years..My house was empty, just Baby Girl and me and she didn't want any of my goodies, lol....My family had all decided to "have they're own" which was fine with me....Although I've been told I'm no longer contagious, I don't want to take any chances....
Mary, I was so happy to hear from you, yesterday...That really did make my day....It does sound like Al got the better of the deal, smart man.......Your sister is so lucky to have you near by....Hope you get to your sewing today.....I'm still sorting floss, ugh....Can not believe how many different colors there are and I know each of the girls had doubles, maybe triples of each color, lol......But, it's going to a good cause (anything that I can get out of the closet and into someone else's is a good cause)...
Jana, the other day, you had mentioned painting and colors, believe it was Ethan's room which will be fantastic...When Kevin started his bathroom, way back the end of last year, it was a complete gut job and at the time the color was grey...He kept saying, look out the window, it's grey outside and I'm not bringing it inside...So when the new year came around, the color was navy and that's what he went with....Navy and white, finally finished and it's gorgeous! Of course, he now said, no one is allowed to use it, lol...I kept telling him if he soon didn't finish, he'd be into the next year, another color and have to change....Now he's starting on the spare bedrooms and we'll see how long this project takes....His answer, he's retired, has all the time in the world......
And you had also mentioned about how smart engineers were and boy do I agree...Among the boys, there are 4 and when they'd get together, I had no idea what they were talking about.. I think they made up words just to confuse me...
Did you get all your sewing (dolls and dresses) done?...I'm in awe with all your projects......
Lori, your ham and potato soup sounds so good...Glad you hear you had a good TG...
Becca, I'm sure your Thanksgiving was a good one...With all your family coming and going, how could it not be.....Hope your resting today.......
Not much happening in my house except "floss".....I do have laundry going and did promise to make a pumpkin pie for Dan and Casey...Casey has a terrible allergy so had to find the gluten free flour...Had a very nice message from Nick...I had asked what I could send him and he told me to surprise him...He also said, he does have a kitchen and plans to do some baking, so I might also send some spices and cookie cutters, along with that check.....He said, he had made pizza earlier in the week and how good it was and then yesterday, he made ham and all the sides for his buddies....He's hoping to get a house off base when he gets back from him deployment...Said, his 3 bikes are taking up too much room, lol....But, it was so nice to hear about his life across the pond.....
Not sure what dinner might be...I do have left overs but might stick with something little....My sister wanted to know if I wanted to stop over later but did tell her, I have a game to watch (ND and N. C.) on at 3:30....I'm thinking some of my leftovers might go into the freezer for another day......
You all have a great rest of the day.......
Happy eating.......................
