Nice Day

Good evening all! What a great day, Steve and I had our teeth cleaned today for our anniversity. You know you are getting old when the high light of your morning is teeth cleaning. We were married 48 years ago today. whoohoo

I had the pleasure of speaking with cousin Bonnie today and will try to visit her next Tuesday. Spoke with Robbie in Oregon ,was so nice we talked our ears off. We  went to supper with little Hank and Big Hank, very nice. Steve and I went to lunch at the cafe, enjoyed seeing our townies.

Can you believe that Steve and I gave each other the same card, what are the odds of that.

I am sitting with Little Hank tomorrow and Friday, we are going to watch movies all day, what fun.

have a great day!

Lets Catch Up

Good morning all, no I didn't fall off a cliff, life just got tight.Hank's surgery went fine he is at Emily's tring to get on his feet. He gets the stitches removed from his inner cheek tomorrow and they will take the packing out of his nose. He is such a sweetie young man. The doctor will see him every six months to make sure it doesn't come back. He will come back to his Dad's this week and then back to school.

I have 2 big quilts at the quilter's and have made 12 name tags for my backpacks, love doing little sewing thingies and love backpacks.Who knew! I am going to machine quilt a quilt today that has been hanging around for several years. I am beading the flowers on this quilt. This spring I am going to attemp painting a sewing machine, guess what color.....screaming royal PURPLE. What a surprise.!!!!!

I made my spring list of things to do. I will lean out my sewing machines and will donate fabric. I will set up the cottage a little different with room for someone to sew with me out there. I am going to clean my favorite 10 machines and will go through my mags and pull out patterns I want to keep and pass on the rest.

The veggie container garden will be set up as soon as my foot surgery is complete. Don't have a date yet but it will be soon as I have been cleared for it. Raking  is always a problem as my upper arm strengh is a little lacking and as my friend Sheryl stated "I am a girl afterall."

Today I am not leaving the house as it stormed all night and will rain again today , staying in sewing etc. Cooked yesterday for the week so I am good.

This What Is Happening In My World

I am not working this week, trying to get everything ready for the Rally for Mardi Gras. We are dealing with an unexpected issue at the moment. My 19 year ols grandson little Hank has be diagnosed withJuvenile Angiofribroma. This is a rather large tumor in the sinus passage that is 4cm.by 3.6cm in size. This is extremely dangerous as is the brain surgery. This will be happening shortly. We are all basket cases at the moment, we so love our little premed LSU honor student. It will be performed in Baton Rouge Louisiana.Please pray for my sweet young man. The dangers are many. His name is Hank Allen Gureasko.

I will be with him as will the entire family.

A Quiet Day

Hello to all and a Happy New Year. I have been home now for 2 weeks and you would be surprised how much you can get done when you organize your activities. I have completed cleaned and sorted the house, why you ask, so I can have a lot of sewing time. I can only work 10 more days till August 1 , 2013. A stupid law that affects some retirees. It has nothing to do with social security which I don't receive. But enough of that.

We have had a wonderful Christmas Holiday and had a wonderful 2 weeks in Texas visiting with friends. The entire family was here which is all 9 of us including grand children. Spent the entire day wednesday with little 6 foot Hank , home from LSU. What a treat that was, miss him sooooooooooo much. He is 45 minutes down the road in Baton Rouge but is a pre med student and is extremely busy so we have to visit on extended holiday. I only saw Nicolas and Naomi a few times as the since their visit was short. Their quilts came out great and of course they loved them since MMP made them!

Cousin Bonnie's daddy is in the last stages of life, probably 48 hours to go, he is # 15 in a line of 17 children with only Aunt Clare and Uncle Leo going to be left. Uncle Lou is 95 years old.  We pray his soul slips easily on.

I have 2 UFO's to work on then it is a queen size for Melissa. Thats my plan and I am sticking with it!

New Years Resolution Stay with my WW program and complete it by 2014. Add some movement each day.

Sorry about being gone soooooooo long! I have been teaching everyday in Special Education with 5 year olds. it has been wonderful! I am in bed by nine and up by 5, ready to go. My only nemis is those little chairs, hard on the knees. Sweet littke kids and one great teacher and one soso who doesn;t appreciate my experience. Oh well Jean can deal with her in December. I will be back in January for 3 weeks.

All is well in the family, Hank came home for  quick visit from LSU. Will be back for WEd. Nicolas and Naomi will not be coming down for Thanksgiving but we will have them for Christmas. WhooHoo!!!!!!!!!

Have a great day, week.....

Everybody Lived

my first day at work went pretty good. Everybody got where they needed to go and everybody got on the right bus home. whoohoo Tomorrow I will be in Sp. Education instead of K. I don't like that age as much as the older kids. Had to get my feet wet and I did. Education has changed since I left, I still love Teaching and will continue.

Going to soak in the tub.

First Workday

Up early and ready to goooooooo! Who would have guessed I would ever go back to work even part time. Who would have guessed what it cost to fill the RV, groceries, medicines etc. I am glad I have a market skills. The bottom line is I ran out of stuff to do!

I will only work 3 days a week so that leaves lots of time to quilt and no jobs when we have a rally and no work all summer. I think I got this workrd out. Everyone in the family supports my decision. 
I am ready, will let you know tomorrow how it works out.
