Mixed News Today

I hate days like this ,got up great , had breakfast and called my special cousin Bonnie in St Bernard. Her husband Big Donald has been fighting the Big C for years. Well now their isn't any more treatment available for him as his numbers have skyrocketed. His time with his family is short. The assistance nurses and social workers have already made contact and are waiting in the wings. I am truely sad.

Went to have my teeth cleaned this afternoon and looked at Steve's exrays, not good. Will speak about this at a later time. Paid the $1000 bill and went to see my brother who is having some transportation issues with one tire. Steve and Mike are up there putting air in it.

Little Hank had 4 wisdom teeth removed today so now he has no wisdom. The bleeding has stopped so now he can sleep the drugs away till tomorrow morning.

I did get 3 quilts ready for batting and pinning, moving right along. Just to sad to quilt tonight. Keep Bonnie, Jacque and Armond in your prayers.

Wonderful Day

Good morning sweet sistra's and brothers! It is raining, what a surprise, it is afterall Louisiana. We say just wait 30 minutes and see what kind  of weather we will have. Such as life in this state, but thank goodness no hurricanes at present.

Steve and I spent the entire day together, really nice and ended it with a great dinner at the best seafood place in the swamp! Oysters and thin fried catfish, what could be better. We stayed up late and watched 2 movies, the last one was Fast Five and it was great.

Of course I quilted while I watched the movies and was thing about some tops that need to be layered and quilted. Today I am putting can goods on board the Rv part of my hurricane prepareness.

Have a great day,

A Great Week

Well the grands are with their Daddy for the weekend and Steve and I can now get back to normal(What ever that is?). I vacumned and steam mopped this morning and packed up all the toys and put them behind the BIG chair till next time. We went to the show yesterday to see Ice Age the Continental Divide, what a great movie, Wanda Scikes as the grandmother was fab.

I did manage to quilt some when they watched the cartoon channel. I did a lot of observations over the pass week and I think the new research is on target, our children and young adults are completely visual in nature. Their auditory skills have not developed as our did because everything in their worlds are visual. Think about it! That is why their would rather text then talk in person. The younger kids have lights, sound with movement(games) and a lite up environment.

Ok enough!

Quilting will be heavy from now till October, will be getting ready for Rats Rally. Going to be in the cottage to see what projects I can finish in a hurry.

Downloaded a app for KIndle so mt Thrive can have lots of free books. It was on Amazon and Google. Soooooooooo easy

PS I would rather talk than text, did you know that about me???????hahaha

Getting On Track

I use to have time everyday to do this post, what happened? Life is full and demanding so I am going to slow it down a bit. I have the little ones thsd entire week so I can't make any changes just let but come Sunday "HOLD THE BARN DOORS" Don't have a barn but like the expression. Steve is still working part time and has suggested that I go back to work to make money for some BIG trips, Alaska and Maine for several months each. I really think he has lost his marbles. NOT HAPPENING!

It has started to rain finally, these showers really cool us off some, without them he is 95-100 or more degrees, not nice. No hurricans in the gulf so far that would effect us , thank goodness. Sunday I am packing the bus with hurricane supplies so we will be ready to leave if necessary. You know Patticake always ready.

Quilting news, I have almost finished the Pineapple  throw, will put boarders on it probably this afternoon if it rains. Will be making a doll quilt for Naomi tomorrow and will be picking out Saints fabric for Nicolas's new bedroom. I will be picking out Halloween fabric for myself next week in the cottage. Have you noticed the price of everything??? Thank goodness for stashes.  I love my cottage, way forward thinking on my part.

Health news , my eye lazer procedure went fine back to 20/20 vision. Teeth are fine, sugar numbers are normal, all test were good. Only 2 more heart checks next week that I asked for just to be sure all is good, then I am finished for a year. A colon check in 5 years. I am a happy girl.

Wish you all a great week and a happy life.

Another Great Week

Well what a great week we had in Bullard Texas with our dear friends in the LonestarBird RV Club! We laughted, ate and remembered good times and planned for new great trips. We talked about the Indy 500 for next year in May.

I have Naomi and Nicolas this week, we are having a great time and doing lots of activities. Steve and I are trying to rest up from the trip, just not happening with grands about. It is worth the effort to have them close.

Bought nyself a new cutting matt finally, it was 40% off at Hancocks, love saving money.

Health wise doing great, feel wonderful.

Have a great week!
