Texas Has Arrived

Texas is well represented this week in Louisiana. Sylvia and Jeff came in and parked their Bluebird at the shopping center Sunday and we met them for lunch. Nice visit, as soon as we dropped them off to leave Shirley and Ron were parked waiting for us in their Bluebird at the Elmer's Candy Company. We raced over and they unhooked their car and drove the rig to our house to plug in. Of course we ate at the  seafood restaurant that night. Yesterday I took them to get the famous "Louisiana Powdered Sugar" Breakfast treat. We drove around in heavy downpour RAIN. I cooked last night and today we are going to look for birds for Ron to take  a photo or two. Tonight Shirley will be cooking meatballs and spag.

I have made several Christmas tap toppers inbetween visiting.

Michael picks the kids up on Saturday afternoon and I will babysitwhile he works except for tuesday when Steve gets his eye surgery for his "cadillacs".

Armond is having a procedure today to see whats going on with his heart. Pray for Armond and Tayna.

Really Playing a Lot

I have been playing in my fabric all week, took 2 classes and am going to another one today. Making a Sprockette Pillow today at my favorite quilt shop. She has a 6 month deal, $60 dollars and you can attend as many classes as you like. I have the fabric so just need the patterns, so I signed up, have already attended $120 worth of classes and my coupon is good till Dec. 15th, what a deal!!!!!!!!!!The shop is 20 minutes away and I bring my lunch. having fun and learning new tricks to share in Pomeroy and Branson.

Had a great time with cousin Bonnie, we are like carbon copies of each other. Looking forward to the next visit next month. Steve cut Steve's grass this week and noticed that he has a low tire, Boyle please air it up, spend the 50 cents. We may not be available if you have a problem and the heat is not something you want to sit in or walk in. Spend the 50 cents please. Thanks from your big sister.

Less than 2 months till Pomeroy sweet Sistras, can't wait, plan on another 10 pounds down!!!! I am feeling really great still a chunky girl just 5 feet tall. Did I add and almost 69 years old, WOW looking froward to 70  and soooooooooooooo on. My new glasses did the trick, Doctor was correct old eyes and a lot of close work, tooooooooooooo bad.

Great Start

I had 10 things on my list and have completed 8, that is what happens when you wake up at 4:30 am and are ready to rock. I have 2 left, one is this evening. I am changing phone carriers and getting new phones, leaving AT&T and going to Vreizon. Will probably be stepping up from Blackberry also, never though I would do this. Everybody is getting a new phone, we carry my brother, so if he has an problem we can get to him, thats what family does in this family.

I will sew sometime today and piece the blocks for the back of Little Hanks quilt, the front is going to be a bugger. I have to find someone who can embroydery a big LSU in a Big Diamond. I can do it, yes I can.

We are up tp 12 rooms reserved for Retreat, whohoo, if you haven's done so please do.
