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'm Back

Well hello, I'm back, we had a great quilt show sat. too bad I spent 3 hours of it in the ER. I fell carring a big quilt and really damaged my knee. Nothing broken but a hemi came up the size of a grapefruit within one minutes, scared the hell out of me for sure. I am on house arrest this week so I have to cope with this as we are leaving on Sunday for several weeks. I have a lot to do. I will be making lists and packing stuff for Steve to take to the RV.

I have 13 Christmas quilts pinned/sandwished so will be tying, quilting and making more bindings. I will keep busy.

Have a great week!

WHODAT GO BOYS

Go home WV , the Saints Came Marching In, Oh When The Saints Come Marching In, I am In That Number!!!! What a game , a real nail biter for sure. I was sewing the binding on Hank's quilt (LSU) and had to stop so I wouldn't miss anything. Go Saints! ON Football days we arrange everything around the game,Do you think we love our boys???

Next 3 games are on the road so part of New Orleans will be traveling.

I have a lot to do today and have started early, did 4 loads of laundry and will be vacuuming and steaming the floors. I have a zillion things on my day planner for the week. Thank goodness all the left over garage sale stuff went to St Andrews Sat afternoon. Made $300 FOR JUNK not bad and emptied 60% of the end room. When I move sewing machines out lots of space will be emptied. Steve's 6 feet is really junked up , but will assist him in going through his treasures.

I have several small Christmas Quilts to sandwich and tie before we leave for our Autumn Trip to Georgia and Tenn.


Have a great day!

Goodmorning BRo

Off and Running

What a way to start your day, no coffee! I hadmy 6 month bloodwork done this morni ng at 7:45 and had a flu shot at 8:00am, took the dog for a bath and picked up Hank's quilt at 9:00am. Came home and went to the store house and sorted stuff foe the garage sale tomorrow morning. It was hot and Steve and I were pooped by lunch. WE had to dump the big fish container and scrub it, I decorated the front of the house for fall and then did the inside the same, fall quilts, fancy decorated fruits and veggies, fall sprays etc, got the picture?? I want to put summer away NOW.

I went to Mell at 2:45 for a shampoo and nails. What a treat, can home and am now done for the day, as we will have pancakes and baked apples for supper.(Fall Supper) It is thundering and raining at the moment so Dixie  is under the table at my feet. It is funny when a big truck goes buy and makes a big noise she gets under the table on a sun shining day.

Looking forward to the Saints game on Sunday, WHODAT GO SAINTS!

We sold the Magnum Dodge yesterday sorry to see it go, it was to low for me to drive and tooooooo fancy, I want a plain one !

Didn't sew today, but will on Sunday, binding is made and ready.

Hugs to you all,

love

PS BRo how are you doing?

Busy Day

Good afternoon, went to Target and shopped at 7:30am for FF Cottage cheese and Organic Milk. Walked for 25 minutes in the store then checked out. Got to WW just at nine am and checked in and how wonderful showed a small weight lost after being with the SewN Sew Sisters for 7 days, how sweet is that. Listened to the program for an hour then off to grocery shopping race. Covered Walmart for a few items on sale, then to Winn Dixie for bagged salad(Buy one get one free) and some bagged veggies. Next was the farmers market for really nice fruit and veggies for 2 weeks. Next stop is Albertsons for gala apples, along the way trying for find reasonable eggs on sale. Last stop was Piggly Wiggly for canned peas, corn and string beans (bought 6 cases@.50 a can) and found eggs 5 dozen for $7.00. Got home to unload and her comes sweet Steve down the driveway for lunch(working at Hanks today) . He unloaded while I fixed lunch and then it was getting the groceries put away. All done and I am pooped so I am going to get on the sofa with a book and hope I only last awake 5 minutes.

Had supper with Tayna, Armond, Greg and Cat last night, had a nice visit, Armond has been approved for a heart and kidney transplant, he is on the list. So keep praying.

Grands are coming this weekend and I am having a garage sale. Sounds like a plan.
