Quilt in a Day Forums

Good morning!

We have no rain this morning! After the deluge we got yesterday I'm happy! We have to maneuver our trailer out of its parking spot this morning and I hope the ground isn't too soft . . .

The 50th anniversary party yesterday was super! Bill's DB, Mike, made a very short speech about marriage that had all the women, yours truly included, in tears. Then he got down on one knee and re-proposed to Barb! And she said Yes! My hubby, ever the techie, had the whole thing on FB before Mike was off his knees!

We are about ready to leave, but no hurry as it's only a 4-hour drive to our campground and we can't get into our reserved site until noon if it's still occupied from last night. So I have time to spend with y'all this morning!

JANA - happy new grandbaby!!! Have you met her yet? After all the worry of the past two months, I can only imagine how excited and relieved your whole fammily must be! In the words of Chriss, smooch her for me!

PAM - whew! You were a toughie to train! Glad we've got you straightened out now. A couple of these ladies have almost made me have to come over there! Your blocks are neat. I love new, easier ways to make old favorites. Your hubby is a nurse, too? I'm a retred R.N., too. I worked geriatrics for a while and then NICU for 20 years.

IRISH - we'll be looking for you to join us later! Have you got anything in that suitcase yet or are you still basking with the kitties? Nice to see Jim is still the sunshine of your life. ;o)
Your friend's name is Virginia, aka, Gin? Mine, too! Mary is just my alias. Not the water heater! We got ours Oct 6th, 1997 and it's still hanging in there. I was in the hospital for a week with my hystie when Bill said it went out. So he came to visit, told me he had a present for me, walked me to the window and I looked down at the parking lot where he'd left the pick-up, with a big box in the back. When I got home, I had shiny new hot water for my shower!

BECCA - Your DGS probably got more rain that we did, and we got a LOT! what a pretty setting for a shower! Your description made it sound idyllic! I hosted a bridal shower out on our lawn once, in the shade. No creek, though. But it was so nice out there. And we didn't invite any snakes! ugh!! I feel sorry for snakes, though. They do get a bum rap. Glad we only have little garter snakes here, non-poisonous, and I haven't seen one in 20 years.

BECKY - very clever, blame Irish for our dietary transgressions! I can dig that! Better than blaming ourselves! I think my hubby would faint if he found a mouse, plastic or otherwise, under his pillow. We had a housesitter once that didn't take very good care of the house. We got home and found a dead mouse under our bed pillows! and it had been there for a week!! EEEK!!!

CHICKIE - we need a report on Doyal. How are things going at your house? Any news on the SIL front?

TINA - I think you are forgetting to eat! You haven't checked in for a long time. Everything OK?

I'm not sure about supper tonite. I have to think about it a bit. It might be jambalaya, made with kielbasa. Bill went to get a ring of turkey kielbasa at the store and came home with some ghastly looking coiled rope of high-fat sausage that's filled with Lord knows what and encased in real intestines! I'm gagging at the thought of that and he can't wait for me to cook it. Seems like a good day to begin my diet! lol!!

I just hope your supper tonite isn't as ghastly as ours!

We are going to have broccoli and venison with rice and a salad. I took it out of the freezer. Just have to make up the rice.

Never one to do today what can be done tomorrow, I am doing my taxes, today. That is two whole days ahead of the due date. I remember doing taxes before everything was on the internet. You had to pick up forms at places like the library. That part is easier, now.

Have a nice day, everybody!

Hello everyone.rainy day here.Nice day to nap but thats not me unless Im sick.
Jana Congrats on Baby Lila Regan.Hope Mom & Baby are fine. Love her name too.
Sure all the family is excited.

Maryz It was a lovely settting for the shower.The Wedding is outside too,But they have rented a hugh tent.They expect about 300 guests.
On the snakes I know they have a purpose but I still want them gone when I see one unless its a ground snake or black one.Then not close to my house.Since they built this development there have been no more snakes.I think that took care of them.

Chickie My hummers returned this wk.They are eating alot today in the rain.Sure hope DH is doing well.He has the best nurse around.And Inhope DSIL stayed Home.

Pam We have had a laugh over all the mac n cheese places.We have them here too.
Your Quilt blocks are very pretty.Looks like fun.

Becky No thanks on the pranks.That would really get me.Mine would know better.And to think Maryz Had a real one.EEK.

We had chicken pie leftover.I will add cranberry sauce,Cole slaw .And Ice cream for afters. Becca

Hi ladies,
Cold and blustery day here. We have had snow showers, sleet and lots of wind...
Not a lot new here, just a lazy sort of day, on some fronts, anyway. Laundry, puttering and a little cleaning here and there.
We did our taxes yesterday, Pam...all done for another year, well, after I mail the check. Ha....
I am afraid that pranks are the norm here Becca, as they were at my home when I was a kid. My dad was big into it, and JR is terrible about it, and he encourages the grands....best way to stop is not to react, if it doesn't get one, they aren't amused....
Well, tonight, I have a small pot of chili simmering. Kiddos and Shannon are going to a dinner with one of Shannon's friends.....kids have called her Aunt Kari since they were tiny....so, it will be a nice quiet evening. They are leaving shortly...Ha...
Have a nice evening....Becky

Quick good late afternoon!

Just got back from putting my lip prints on little Lila's head. She is just a little chubby cheeked doll. This grandma's not prejudiced at all! She is adorable too!

Dinner is dessert - Matt's kids take turns making something for dessert and bring it out here on Sunday nights. No time for dinner, so will eat later after they are gone.

Enjoy!
