Got up on speed today, By 8:00am I have baked a cake,(its cooling),baked a pan of beans, and made enough chili for the neighborhood. You ask WHY??? because when the energy hits use it, cause it isn't always there!
Went shopping after dinner out with Tonia and Armand and bought some great baking pans to replace my wornout ones, nice and heavy. Also got my nexchange gift for the LOnestar Rally in December. Now all we need is a man's gift.
Today I will be working on my secret sisters swap and my exchange blocks for the Rally. Steve is going over to Armond's to put in a camera on his bus. I might go to a funeral for my cousin or not. I need to sort through some items that need to go to the cottage. So have a great day!

Woke up to 78 degrees this morning, whats upp with that??? Cold front coming tomorrow, hurry up!Have a commission quilt for Candice and have started shopping for fabric, peacock , creams and a pretting violet. Will use a log cabin design. You can say I am on the hunt......
Saw everybody yesterday, Mike, Hank, little Hank and Fran all came for a visit.I sent Mike home with the jambalaya and salad, little Hank brought his Dad some pulled pork from his mother's house and biggums asked the baby who made the sandishes,he said I have to make sure she didn't poison them. Steve worked yesterday and will work the rest of the week for Hank, 4 bedliners today, will have to pour Steve in bed tonight. I did all my running yesterday, today is WW, working on blocks and cooking eggplant for supper. Chicken salad for Steve's lunch is made.
I have an exchange for one of my groups so I will be looking at stocking patterns to make and collecting other items for the package.I am sure I can get that together before the deadline.
Dixie needs a bath, that girl has some smell this morning, the humidity is like 100%. I will call and take her in tomorrow. She had a great time on the trip, she loves the bus and knows what to do when we stop.She adjusted well to our life style.
We will be cleaning the bus this weekend and getting it ready to roll the day after thanksgiving.We will be rolling with Tonia and Armand to Texas for several weeks.We will be stopping at Ernie and Brenda's and Tony and Joyce's along with a week south of Fort Worth and some time in Blanco.

No I Didn't Fall Off The Planet
What a week! We had a wonderful time at the Rats rally, saw a lot of old friends, made a bunch more. Had a lot of pot luck dinners so it is back to the program since I am home. We made a trip across New Orleans in the Bus, thought I would throwup with the traffic but my steady driver made it . We went to the training facility for the Saints to park and spend the night with our posse from Texas. We also went to see Tony ang Joyce's new 2000 LXI 43 foot Bluebird, WOW double WOW. It is beautiful. Arrived home early Monday morning pooped took a nap washed 6 lots of laundry and stripped bus, will clean it this weekend.
Sold 9 quilts and one purse, came home with fuel money for another trip and a trip to the quilt shop.Whoopie!! Also took a order for a custom queen size quilt for Candice and Art's coach. I would say I had a great week.
We are going to vote this morning and I need veggies, not many to eat last week, and will sit at the Chamber building this morning and grocery and farmers market this afternoon. My day is planned, maybe a side visit to the quilt shop.
Have a great day and know I will quilt something this evening. My squares need to be completed for December swap.
