Hello from Oklahoma

Been really busy feeding theone armed bandits at the Casino and visiting with my friends in the Lonestar Birds. What a great group of people to spend days with. There 3 coaches left today and will leave tomorrow for home. I want to stop in Shrevport and see the young ones if possible. I will call to see is I can make arrangements with Melissa by phone tomorrow.

Hi brother hope you are doing well, hope the a air is  working fine. The weather is really hot everywhere down south. I will be home probably by Wednesday. Hope there are no storms in the gulf  to worry about, we don't get much TV weather here as Steve cancled the direct TV in the bus for the summer.

Everyone stay safe.

Busy Monday

Well it is mid-morning and I have cleaned and steamed the floors, dusted, and cleaned the kitchen and bathrooms. I also was the spotter in the bus as Steve put more air-conditioner fluids in the bus air we use when we are rolling and rolling we will be in a few days. I am now doing all laundry that needs to be done and am washing the dog beds. I grocery shopped yesterday evening and will load the cold food tonight. YES I have rockets in my pockets today! I hope I never wear down, hope my batteries stay charged till I am 100 plus. What a though, 3 feet tall, gray/white nappie hair and a mouth that doesn't stop, got the picture, not pretty.

Hay Bro that was sweet of you  and Stevie calling your brother n law and wishing him a happy fathers day. Very nice in deed. We stayed home yesterday and enjoyed the day by ourselves. Mike ate with Steve on Friday and Hank ate with Steve on Sat. Little Hank took big Hank out to eat yesterday by themselves, very nice in deed!!!!

I will be leaving  so if anyone needs me call my cell phone, don't know how long I will be gone so I will keep you posted by the blog or cell phone. When I come back we will start painting the inside of the house. That is July's assignment.

I will be starting a new rug today, just love making them.

Hugs until tomorrow Patticake

My friend Britt I hope you mend well and we are are thinking about you.

Happy Fathers Day

We just fueled the bus with 80 gallons, that is all it needed to fill to 300 gallons, hallaloulla for that. I wiped the inside down and cleaned the bathroom, will vacumn when we are finished loading it. Toooooooooo hot outside at the moment so later today will be just fine. I will bag up the dry goods and pack frig tomorrow between cleaning house, can't go on a trip with a  not pristine house to come home to, afterall Betty Clever might visit.
I am going to pick out some more fabric for a Christmas rug and a Halloween rug, these are fun to make and they use up all of your old bobbins. I am all about using up what you have.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE DADS OUT THERE!!!!!!!! Now let me tell you some of my favorite Daddyisms from my wonderful Dad. If you never met Henry Thomas Boyle, you missed an opportunity of a life time! He was a small man in statue about 5foot 6 inches and about 145 lbs. an iron worker from a very large poor family of 19. He only went to the 3rd grade but worked his way up to a well paying position with Boh Brothers Construction Co. He was a rounder in his early days but a great family man in his married period. He lived to 81 years. He use to wishper things in my ears and sang to me every night when I was little. I grew up thinking I was the most beautiful girl in the world and that I could  accomplish any thing in the world.And I did!.Some of the things he would tell me were that education was the key to life being great, with an education I would not have to depend on a man to take care of me, being educated I didn't have to take crap from anybody, an education would make me strong so as far as the education he paid right through graduate school. He said take your time decieding what you want out of life and do it right the first time..........I miss him and I miss dancing with him, he was the BEST!!!!!!The best song was "Beautiful Brown Eyes", when I want to feel him close I sing it to myself.

Have a wonderful life and if your parents are alive, enjoy every second.

Hello

Sorry I have been gone soooooooooooo long, busy week! Getting ready to leave and had a lot to do and still have a lot to do. Steve wanted to leave early so he wouldn't have to drive 12 hours in one day, getting old!!! Me to don't like to ride that long either 6 is good for me also. Can't believe we are leaving a dry 100 degree plus area to go to another even hotter place, well what can I say, Casino pulling us there.

I made a rug yesterday and it is wonderful, will probably make several more, probably a Halloween one and a Christmas one. The one I just completed is sunflowers. Took me 5 hours and my shoulders are sore today, a lot of stitchen. It is the koolest project, after you finish you wash it and dry it and it comes out fluffie as can be like the old bedspreads. Way tooooooooo kool!

Today we are going to a political rally because ther is free food. It is a friend of ours and Steve is big into free political food. I on the other hand could care less. We will be taking some great food with us to Oklahoma, as I am sure their tomatoes don't taste anything like ours. hahaaaaaaaaa

Just talked to my favorite cousin Bonnie, her husband Donald is going for more tests this week, they have had their hands full>We are are praying for them

Armond has another blockage in one of his new stints, will have that taken care of next week, he is under the weather today.

Happy   Fathers Day Bro hope you got your card .

Retreat is filling up as we speak. reservations will start on July 1 2011 so don't be left out. Just heard from 2 more yesterday. WOW we are rocking.

Happy Day

I am going to sew with a new group of ladies today called the Busy Bees. I am really excited about going as I have been sewing alone most of the time since retreat. I have packed all my stuff and made my lunch, will stop in indy and pick up a cake.

We are on our way to getting ready for OKlahoma, Steve has a few more panels to wax. The girl has to look good.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am ready to pack her up.

Good morning Bro , how are you today? I hope fine. Will call you tonight.

Gotta go!

Ron get those airs fixed>

Good Sunday Morning

Hello all, another hot day in Louisiana, and what do we do on hot days, nothing but sew. We will have sandwishes for lunch and crab cakes for supper, ok have that out of the way and tonight I will bake cookies for my sweet computer repair guy Hal. Steve will putter around in the garage until he is ready to pass out and then retreat in side. I will organize my weeks activities and get ready and on schedule, remember how organized I am.

I should have my circles attached to the black base today and cut the boarder for sewing, I love their shapes. I will pay bills at the shop tomorrow and do Mike's banking for him and for me to get ready to leave. Hallaloulla for that can I get a A-MEN on that. I am not one to get cabin fever but I got it now, I think Armonds condition for the last 7 months have really affected all of us in different ways.

Armond is up and dressed and puttering about , that is a great sign.


Have a wonderful day speek kindly to each other.
