Almost Ready

Income Tax, I hate getting it ready, Big Hanks should be ready today and mine tomorrow. I can't move ahead with any projects till these are done and do I have projects lined up and not just quilting. I have to continue my clean out with or with out Steve. He hates to get rid of anything and I am ready to simplify my nest.
Prjects for the spring and summer include painting the ceilings in a latte color to warm the house up, paint the kitchen a beautiful purple, bedroom latte with a red wall and bathroom to match and make repairs as needed. Clean out clutter!!!!!!!!!!This is where Steve has a problem and try another garage sale.The yard is a mess after this terrible winter so it will need some replanting. Do you think I have a lot to do???????

Redo cottage , sell stuff I no longer want or like, that will be late in the year, as I need to finish my UFO's right Linda? I checked flights to Spokane and I think I can do it for September.Will check with Barbara and Marge.
Trips planned are Texas in April, Pomeroy in September, Georgia in October and Texas in December.The biggest thing is Retreat in Ponchatoula in May. I will be getting projects ready this month. Am I business?Let me catch my breath, oh forgot cutting my brothers grass.

Will post the pictures of the pineapple quilt, really nice.

Cooking School

What a great day we had at cooking school. We did a tomato soup, chicken pot pie, big boy biscuits and a nutella cheesecake. Very very good. We had some new ladies in our group, very funny folks, we laughted all day.

We have a easy weekend, not much planned, the kind I like. I will do some bindings and some paper work for income tax for me and for Hank. Have lots of yard work but that can wait, we are not finished with winter just yet

Have a great day

Hugs Patticake. 

Easy Day

Nice and easy day, took the dog for a bath at 7:30, washed the 3 beds for Dixie, vacumed the house, went to have hair and nails done at nine, dropped off a list of meds for the doctor I saw yesterday, stopped by and visited a sick friend and sent order for meds to be refilled at Walgreens. Picked up Steve had lunch at Paul's (makes a great grilled chicken) andblew part of the front yard and porch. Now it is time for Rachel Ray and napping.

I plan on making some new covers for the dog beds when I get up off the sofa. Sounds like a plan. Later I am going to grill some chicken breasts and pork chops for the rest of the week. The weather is wonderful and I am sorry Barbara it is 18 degrees , it is tooooooooooo warm at present and will cool down this coming week, so we will suffer through 75 degrees. hahaaaaaaaaa

Hay Bro hope you are having a great day, get out and enjoy some fresh air. It won't kill you, I promise.

Going to get my pillows ready for Rachel Ray.

Almost finished tieing the pineapple quilt!

Running As Fast As I Can

What a week since I got home, had a great day with Nicolas and Naomi all day Monday. Let her pick her fabric and made her a doll to take home Monday night. She also scoped up a second doll I had made and informed me she wants 1000 more by Christmas. I have my work cut out for myself. The kids were wonderful and their cousin Little Hank came down to play with them , all 6 foot of him. I made cookies for them to take home, each had a tin full and Steve got a cookie jar full and I went to bed early.

I got caught up with Big Hanks' office needs all day Tuesday and ran around taking care of things and paying accounts. Today I went to WW and after that paid State Farm accounts then cooked early as I was having Dr. John relieve the fluid in my cyst in my foot, sure feels better tonight. Yesterday felt like I was walking on a big gaint marble withtails. Now I am a happy gal. Steve and I cleaned and vacumned thye bus to get it ready till we use it again. Fuel was $3.45.9 today and we need 100 gallons. Go figure.

I am working on a quilt tonight and then a bath and lights out.

I am thinking about making some Chemo caps thanks to my buddy Linda Miller. NIce job Linda.

Good night Bro

The Week Is Almost Over

Tthe week has been wonderful. We will be going home tomorrow and will see the grands who are with their Dad for the weekend. Mike sent some great pictures of  Naomi doing her art work. Nicolas hasn't been pictured as of this moment. I am going shopping today at Sam Moon's Yea. We will be having lunch at Pananetta Bread and supper at Crabdaddy's tonight. I just made grits for the community breakfast this morning. A good Louisiana Girl makes grits for her man. This all came about when Shirley from Dallas gave Ron her husband some boiled shrimp from her plate, I was sitting next to her and told her "A good louisiana woman would have peeled those shrimp for her man" she said I am not a louisiana woman and I said we can tell and we all laughted.

This is such a great group. I have completed  3 quilts since I have been here, I know Barbara I am a rocket. Hay Bro hope you are doing well.

Have a great day.
