Rain at Last

Can you believe it has'nt rain in a month, well we got a little last night. It is brown instead of green, strange. We have a new Hurricane named Paula this is number 16 and all have missed us with a lot of them heading north in the Atlantic Ocean,thank goodness. This one may skirt the florida keys.

I have lost my reading glasses in the house, Dixie didn't take them, I checked her crate. Thank goodness I have dollar store readers.I have turned the house over and inside out. Guess that is a sign of old age.

We have to pick up 3 trucks in Franklinton fot bedliners, and they have several bedliners already scheduled so Steve will be busy all day and then dinner with Tonia , Armond, Greg, Kathy, Steve and me.

I have made more bindings so they will be attached on our way to Georgia, still making yoyoes in Christmas fabric. Steve asked me last night "what are those for?" I said they keep me awake watching tv at night.Does everything have to have a purpose????

I got the quilts out for sale yesterday and 5 sewing machines to go with us to Georgia. Today I will be looking for the books that go with them.
I will also cut the Christmas fabric for the gifts for the rally in December.

I will clean the sewing machines tomorrow>

Steve B.(my brother) had a little issue sunday so I will be checking on him regularly. Good morning Brother I know you are reading this!!!

Saints didn"t Win

What an interesting game!!Would have been better if we would have won, but say la vive, can't always have everything. The arm is improving, it is the shoulder not the arm. I am just careful with how I use it nad maybe we can just get it 100 percent.

We cleaned the bus yesterday and reorganized the inside, the bottom is his to do when ever. We wiped everything down, wool-lited the carpets, scrubbed the tile floors and got rid of a lot of junk in the cabinets. Clothes are on the only thing left is the food for the rally and it is all done and frozen, of course the salads will be made fresh. heheheheeeeeeeee

Tonia is coming over today to work onb her squares for the christmas rally and i will be picking out quilts for the sale in Georgia, 7 sewing machines too.I will be sewing in the cottage as the machine is set in the table and that doesn't hurt my shoulder, the ones in the house sit on top of the table and that position hurts.

Ed and Caroline are pluged in with their 95 BMC Bluebird for a week in our yard on their way to The Rally in Rain, La. They stop by every year for a visit.They are one of our regulars.

John Benon's Dad died Sunday morning , may bge going to San Antonio for a over nighter and say with Tony and Joyce in San Markus, not sure.

Have a great week!!!!

Wonderful Weather

The weather is the best!!! Would love to live in a spot that is 40's at night and 70's during the day, 12 months a year. Oh and no Hurricanes! I have been hauling *** all day since 6am. first take Dixie for a bath, pick her up at noon, grocery shop the specials at 3 groceries (making groceries, thats New Orleans language) unloading and putting them away. Clean the 2 dog beds, wash covers and spray the pillow parts, do 2 loads of clothes, wash , dry, and fold.Did I mention vacumn the entire house, load dishwasher, unload and put away dishes and fix lunch and reload lunch stuff, pack recycling for Saturday and now I get to do my blog and it is 1 o'clock. I wonder why I am sooooooooo tried. Who Knew????

I need to wipe toilets with a brush, maybe !!

My neighbors behind us for the last 38 years are Wayne and Karen. Our sons went to school together all the way through collage. Her husband was a mentor to Michael as they were both artist, my in metals and him in neon. He passed away on Tuesday night from dementer complications. She had placed him in a nursing facility while we were out of town. He was only 62 years old and so talented. We will be attending his services on Saturday.

I am working at Hank's this afternoon answering the phone so off I go, maybe I can snooze between calls. I wonder why I am tried today, well my arm is still bothering me some and I am not sleeping well.

Great Morning

Good morning to all, Steve had a good day, stone passed, he is back to normal(a.s normal as he can be)heheheheheheee. I got a lot done yesterday, moved summer clothes , added winter things, sorted, gave away a lot, will sell some at the second hand shop,passed some on and actually deposited some in the "can".My friend will be selling my glove collection on ebay and some vintage handbags and a dress from the 1920's.

Am having the foot lanced at 11 o'clock today and then will clean the RV and shampoo the carpet. Steve and I will do this together. I am going through the cabinets and getting rid of stuff we don't use.

Cooked yesterday, took a 14 lb. turkey and shinned and removed the FAT, then cut it up, roasted the breast and wings and boiled the rest. The rest will be used for the gumbo I will make for the Rats Rally in 13 days in Georgia. I am making apple oatmeal muffins for Steve tonight.

Made yoyos last night watching TV. Will trim 2 quilts sometime today and will make 50 miles of binding. Will I have enough to do????

Home Again

Home is where the heart is and mine is in Ponchatoula. Steve had a kidney stone attack on the way home from Shreveport. WE had to stop for a while and then he drove on in. I medicated him when we got home and his pain eased somewhat. We unloaded the bus a little while ago just the food and dirty clothes. Tomorrow is another day, we need to strip the bead and clean the interior and go dump the tanks as we leave in 2 weeks for Georgia for the Bluebird Rally.

I quilted a lot last week and did some craft classes, I am not a real crafter but I try. I am making yoyos at present for a christmas tree. Now I need to do laundry yuk!!

My cousin Faye's husband died last week with cancer, he battled a long time, we also have a wedding next weekend. Busy week.

Arm is improving and foot needs to be drained. What-up as my DGS Hank says it is what it is.
