We will have supper with our grandchildren tonight, I am so excited. Every three weeks isn't enough.This is a little something extra!! The Rally is okay, nothing to rave about except Steve and I and Dixie are all together.
I did 2 crafts today, a pin cushion and a fabric box and I hung the pink quilt from my bed in the coach in the quilt show this morning. Saturday I will be going to the Red River Quilt Show, nice little extra.

Secrets from Louisiana
So glad you have stopped by for a visit. We have many secrets here in Louisiana. We are a quilters haven because of all the interesting things we have in our environment to see, smell,taste and feel. Our flowers are like perfume in the evening and the colors explode in your eyes. Our seafood is the best in the world and is bountiful from the Gulf.
The palette is non stopping.

Ready to Roll
We or should I say Steve is loading all the packed items in the bus so I can go over and put it all away. Takes a lot to move in for a week as I take everything pre cooked so I don't have to waste time cooking when I can relax. Mama taught me well!!!
All is well in the Gureasko-Boyle community at the moment. The Hoolahans are not so well. Bonnie's husband is taking cancer treatments and is having a very difficult time.Faye and Ronnie the same!My brother is sounding great these days and his son is chuging along. My grands are all doing well and the newest almost ,maybe member can't say more is wonderful.
My arm is still a issue as is my foot, meds are helping but are presenting other issues. What can I tell you "middle age" is not for sissies. The only great thing is I can still quilt ,walk and well never could chew gum.
I don't know how much internet I will have for the next week but will keep up if I can.

Getting Ready
Trip will be delayed thanks to the airconditioner in the bedroom not working. Steve will probably not be able to get parts until Monday. We are packed and ready with everything on board.
I feel better this evening the meds are kicking my butt. The antibiotic is really making me sick but the foot needs it so have to take it.
Make pillowcases for the grands to take with me and cut fabric for the goofy little cicles (yoyoes) I am making for the Christmas Project I am working on.I have a hand quilting project to take and my featherweight will also go on the trip.
Had supper with Tonia and Armand just a little while ago, nice evening.

Good Morning Ladies
I think I am getting better. Sleep was available to me in 2 long stressess last night, finally. Lost the pain patch sometime last night, don't see it on the sheets. Maybe the arm ate it. I can move it better this morning, some pain still there but don't want to chop it off. Maybe we are getting better.
Foot is still inflamed and swollen, hopefully the meds will work so we can leave Sunday. Want to be there before the game starts. You know me and football, all the way SAINTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!WHODAT-WHODAT-TWODAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to sew but will hold off , may be straighten the sewing area this afternoon.We are having dinner with Tonia and Armand this evening and we voted yesterday, grocery shopped(all I did was walk he pushed and grabbed items) after his Dr. appointment. He still have some left over kidney stone pieces to pass.Poor guy hope this will be the last time.
The day for me will be drop sweet Dixie off for a shampoo, come home clean dog beds, get a shampoo and nail job from Mell for me, and read. Tomorrow will be recycling drop-off and pack. Precook what ever we will eat on Sunday, maybe chicken salad and beef lion. I forgot of course a nice cake for my sweetie.
I will try to hem my table cloth I pieced in Pomeroy and make some more yoyos.hahaha.In stead of putting up a Christmas tree I am going to make a fabric tree(quilt) about 5 feet tall for the wall and decorate with fancy yoyos. Sounds like a plan.

Thank God Its Over
Yesterday was a day from hell! Went with Steve to the hospital for a KB Exray, then to WW, then trucked over to the doctor's office and try to be seen. When I get there they tell me to chose a new doctor as mine has retired because of medical issues. I chose someone I don't know but can still see my nurse practiciner for the time being. She said she will work me in and does , arm may be fractured need exrays at 2pm, go home have lunch, go back for 2, can't tell need the expert to read them. Stop in at foot doctor, he can see me right away as my foot looks really bad. If it doesn't improve by monday have to open and drain. Put me on a very strong antibotic. Now I have pain pills, pain patches and antinflamitory and I am in BIG PAIN. Got home at 4:30 after picking up supper from my friends restaurant.
Didn't sleep much last night but plan on sitting on my butt today and snooze and read.
You guys know I don't complain usually so I have to be in a lot of pain and to boot we are going to leave on Sunday, MAYBE????? We can always leave midweek, depends, I can't load the bus feeling this badly.
Will keep you guys up to date.

Another Beautiful Day
What more do we need, sunshine, 90 degrees, dry, nothing to do!!!! I will probably start thinking about our trip to Shreveport on Sunday. Steve has to have an KB x-Ray today to see if all the stones have passed. It only takes a few minutes so off he goes to help Hank.
I need to have someone look at the pain in my arm, it still hurts a lot. I am careful with it but it is not much better. Can't let it interfere with sewing afterall.
I will probably make some bags today and hem my pieced tablecloth. Sounds like a plan!!!
Off to WW after the xray and then pay some bills then FREE AT LAST!!!!!
