Brrr!! I think we're only 33* this morning and only going to about 47* for a high. But - no rain! And as long as it's cold, Bill is looking for indoor things to do and he volunteered to quilt my chandelier top, Hanging Gardens. Score! So he's working on that and I'll probably be able to get my cats together today. I sashed them yesterday. Each block with triple sashing and fussy cut cats for cornerstones. I'll decide on borders when I get there. And I found purrfect backing in my cat stash that I forgot I even had.
We talked to Aut & Ant last night. Baby is stubbornly breech so a CSX is scheduled for Friday afternoon, April 7th. They have 3 more nights to sleep. She'll be born on Good Friday, just like her Nonnie Mary was! I can't wait! I went to Rite Aid yesterday for a roll of baby wrapping paper, 2 packs of pink tissue, and a card. $18!! Fabric is cheaper!
CAROL - I found you on the map! Have you always lived where you live now? I live about 1/2 mile from the house I was born in (my godparents') and 2 miles from the farm where I was raised. I haven't gone far! When Bill retired he was used to supervising people so you can guess what happened when he looked around and I was the only one available to "supervise". It didn't go well. First was the battle of the kitchen. And he never even cooks!! Then, I didn't know, after 50 years, how to do laundry correctly. And he proceeded to show me the error of my ways. Grrrr..... And so it went. We finally had a 'coming to Jesus 'talk'. I talked and he listened. It was a rough year but we got through it and no trips to ER or attorney! It's been nothing but bliss in the 20 years since that first year after he retired.
BECCA - Frankie is such a cute name! I thought I liked Francie better, but I hadn't thought of Frankie. Love it! And you do have a nickname. It's Becca! I don't go by my first name, but my middle name, Mary. Does that count as a nickname? I bet D&M are anxious to see their new little DGD before the newness wears off!
We won't get to see ours until about Thanksgiving.JANA - a white Christmas is magical. A white Easter - not so much! This may be a clue as to why your landscaper hasn't put in an appearance yet! My DBIL texed me just 5 words ago as I was typing this. It's snowing at their house in CO, too. He isn't sending any thank you's your way!
Tonite's feast is going to be BBQ'd pork sandwiches and a green salad. Now that I've decided I almost can't wait! I'm hungry!
What's your plan?
