The sweet children are leaving this morning and Mike and I are going to say goodby at the greatgrandmothers home. I have put all Christmas away and will finish the floors when the rain stops on Monday, yes 4 days of rain.I love this kind of weather. Nice fire going, soup on the stove, fabric piled up and a machine sewing well. What more do we need?????????
I am going to work on Naomi's doll today, she has a head with fabric hair, now to the body. This is a great project, came from Quilting Arts Magazine.I have to cut my fabric for the NYE Mystery for tomorrow and Saturday, fill my bobbins, oil my 1971 Bernina as she is the only one working well of my 3 Bernina machines. When we pick up my chair in Baton Rouge for the RV, I will drop off my other 2 for repair.Thats my plan!!!!!!!
I am looking forward to retreat on the 17th,the girls are really fun to be wiwith. I will be sitting with Dawn this year and really like her.I am already thinking about projects.....
To my girls on the west coast, stay warm and please be careful on the roads.
Ice is not nice except in snow cones!!!!!!!I miss you guys and only wish we were really rich and could visit regularly.Lets dream. The bus will stay parked with fuel as high as it is and so will my butt. I have lots to do and 10 new novels to read and lets not forget the fabric in the cottage.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU111111

WHEN THE SAINTS COME MARCHING HOME.........
What do you think about our boys in Black and Gold now??? What a tight game and hands off to Jimmy Graham and the team. Toooooooooo Bad Atlanta lets rock in the playoffs and let win on the second of January. Would like to be at that game.
I am watching the kiddies while Mike works this week up 4am and in bed by 9pm, thats the ticket. They are watching cartoon today and we took Christmas down. They helped me put it up before Thanksgiving, so it has been up more that a month.We are going to vacumn when Steve's takes the boxes to store.
Took an hour off and reconnected with my NP at a new doctors office, The doctor's name is Johnny Walker(Red Lable)isn't that funny????? I will have to find a new heart specilist when I need some regular tests performed and a new surg. to have a colon screen. No problem just routine stuff.
My new doctors office is a family practice. They seemed really nice.
I cut out a doll pattern last night and will think about it today and may start on it later in the week. The children go home on Thursday to Shreveport with Mary their other grandmother.They are a real treat to be with. Little Hank came to Play with them at lunch time , he was working at his Dad's down the street. My 3 grands love each other. Little Hank is so independent, he cooks and cleans and brings his own hot lunch to work.He will do fine at LSU next year.
I am still working on my Christmas Card list, hope to finish by tonight.

Last Supper
We had a wonderful supper with Jean and her family, thank goodness, I am ready to get back to my WW eating. Gave the Red Velvet Cake to Andrew and the Sour Cream Cake and the pecan pie went to Michael. Now all that is left is chicken salad sandwishes.
had a wonderful visit with my family on Christmas Eve, my guys were so funny and the children were great. Divie did wonderfully with the children, she only wants to eat Mike , must be his big voice....She is a wonderful dog, really sweet and take directions well.
Little Hank came over late when he got back from Texas with his Mom.Nice visit. I will see Naomi and Nicolas Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as Mike will be working so it is up at 3:30 for 3 days.I don't care as I am a early riser anyway, "The Days Are A Wasting" if you sleep late, who said that??? My wonderful Grandmother Laura. Up before the chickens and down with sun, her motto!!!!
I am going shopping this morning for the doorbuster sales,and then I am going to be sewing a while, I have a tabletop for Christmas that needs finishing and then binding and finish my holiday cards. I don't have to cook, meatballs and speg. and eggplant in frin and of course sandishes.
ThankGod only 2 servings of potato salad(my personel favorite) left.
Have a great Sunday. Remember the reason!
