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.

I tried to call Margie yesterday no answer, hope all is well. Will keep trying, spoke to Steph and Kathy already, will play up the retreat. Hope Marilyn can come this year,we miss her when she doesn't come.
I am working on retreat items and will be locked in the cottage all weekend and all week next week except for MOnday and Tuesday, taking my brother to the VA.

Miss Dixie went for a bath this morning and yearly shots and I am cleaning her beds before she comes home.

Talked to Armond last night and he is having problems with swelling in the feet since his heart operation, hope tht gets ironed out. Will see them tomorrow evening if he feels up to it.

I am putting a binding on this morning and pressing some siggie blocks, repurposing everything and using up what I have. I have a lot planned for this summer, lots of painting and redoing in the house, paint is the cheapest way to go since I am going to home until Pomeroy Wa. trip comes around.

Have a great day and do something fun over the weekend.

A Week Away

We are enjoying a week away, our last till Christmas. Fuel is toooooooooooo expensive so we will be home this summer. We have gone a lot the last 10 years soooooooo being home is okay. More working around the house with repairs and painting to be done. Thats a good thing.

The weather is great, but it is so dry that the wild flowers are not so great. Very disappointing, I wa so looking forward to this viewing. Guest I will live. Our group starting arriving yesterday with more today and the rest tomorrow. We had 2 great days at Ton y and Joyces. Dixie had to go to dog doctor, had a lady infection, had a complete exam and tests and was issued some meds. She is laying near Steve at the moment getting petted.

I have been hand quilting and reading some James Burk. He is a great crime writer. Tomorrow we will be partying alot.

Will try to post, hello Bro.

Great Evening

I went to a wedding last night, cousin Bonnie's grand daughter got married, Steve and I dressed up to the nines and went to New Orleans, I know what a surprise no tee shirts and jeans. We had to nap from 3-4:30 as the event was at 7pm so we didn't get home till midnight, you know plder folkd have habits.

Today is an easy day, just pack food and prepare some items to take with us to eat, such as, meatloaf, chicken breasts, chicken salad, and shop for Tony's Strawberries. I have to go to the grocery for some creamer and chips/salsa from the dollar store for the mixer on Friday night. Quilting is packed, clothes are on board......easy day. The last thing I will do is vacumn and steam mop, who wants to come home to a dirty house.

The grands came by yesterday and played for 2 hours in the front yard and ate 2 pizzas, nuggets and pizza rolls while playing base ball. We had a great visit. Made them some pillow cases for Easter of course Naomi wanted Nicolas's never fails, drama QUEEN, but we lovw her.

WW took a back seat, I had the best wedding cake at the wedding, old fashion New Orleans flavor, the best. back on track today. Thats what is so good about WW.

Have a great day and Bro your grass looks good and the dog was happy with a new towel, do the rug this week.

Love and hugs Patticake
