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.

Good Morning Quilting Sisters and Brother

Another wonderful day of doing nothing. OH I forgot Goodwill hunting is on the agenda for today. What a busy day then I will tie another quilt as soon as the picnic table dries off from the dew. What a life, it is nice to take a break from home every couple weeks. Steve and I really get along well in the bus and the dog just loves it.

All you guys who are still working, enjoy what you are doing and remember they can really get along without you when you retire. I didn't believe that when I was working but the day after I retired 10-19-2002 the program ran just fine. Amazing isn't it.

Jean called yesterday and had a question about the strip pops. Told her to look up lazanaga quilts for fun. She loves to match everything this concept should drive her to the moon.

Spoke to Bro yesterday and Bonnie too. Facebooked everybody for valentines day, so took care of business. Way to go girl!!!!!!!had a great day ate sushi , my favorite crunchie calf rolls. Steve had meatloaf, his favorite with pasta.

Weather is wonderful high 60's-70's during the day.lows in the 50's at night for at least a week. whoohoo.

have a great day and we have stopped coughing.

Tomorrow we will be going to Goodwill, whoohoo for Pat.Life is simple when we travel and park.Dixie has walked, smelled and greeted every dog who came by and she napped in the sunshine.

I finished the binding on my saints quilt and started tying the mystery quilt. I brought everything I needed to complete 3 quilts this week. I may run out of things to do.....

Parked and Relaxing

We are in Spring Texas for the week. Arrived about 4 this afternoon and found a wonderful super market with grest sushi. We had Subway tonight and will have sushi another time. Dixie did great as usual and the bus did great until we got parked, the right Jack spit up its juice all over the ground. We had to get some cat litter to absorb it . The park will clean the spot when we leave. How bad is that????Steve can rebuild it when we get home.

I have made a decision about quilting, no more big quilts, I am instead going to make finished interesting blocks that I can quilt myself. I have so many big quilts, how many do you have to make? I have to do little Hanks LSU and then thats is for queen and king size.

Hello Bro, hope you enjoyed the weather today> talk to you tomorrow.

Another Beautiful Day

Freezing, gray and damp looking! This is Louisiana Winter what can I say. I am getting also well, just a lingering cough and that should be gone in a few days. Steve is still trying to get there, he is up and going anyway.

House is cleaned, so I can take care of some office stuff for Hank and Mike.Steve is going to Rotary this morning and to Armands this afternoon to explain stuff about the old coach as the person from Colorado is picking it up today. They are downsizing after his heart attack, buses, house, stuff.

I have been downsizing for 2 years and haven't made a dent yet, whats upp with that????? I will be sorting again in a couple weeks, the area I will be working in has no heat so have to wait till it warms a ting bit. haha

I have to put a quilt together this week so I will really be pushing it as we get ready fot a trip to Spring Texas. This is a specila quilt sooooooooo no more hints at this time.

Good morning Bro, Barbara, Steph, Ron, Linda and the faithful, have a great day.
