To Catch You Up

Wow - time gets by me so unbelievably fast. To catch up a bit - I'm signed up for my Beginner's Quilting Class - starts Thursday May 20! Yippee. Have the supplies I need ready and will borrow K's rolling cart when I have to transport my sewing machine. I'm really
anxious to get started. I have a couple of quilt projects going and I love doing it.

Also started another project - mosiac tiling a planter for the patio. Went and got some cheap dishes and cups at Goodwill and T helped me get them broken down into small pieces. Will
work on that tomorrow - if all goes well - I'll post a photo.

T's garden is awesome. Will also try to get some photos to post of that tomorrow. Corn is really high, potatoes and carrots and onions and garlic dong very well. Tomatoes and cukes - yum yum! Good stuff.

Ta ta for now -

Good friends!

Went on a super fun road trip Monday. Went to Porterville, up near Bakersfield, to visit some really good friends. I worked with most of them for a long, long time and they are really,really good people. They were warm and welcoming and we had a fun day rehashing the good ole days.

We met at the Millers, what a sweet slice of heaven they have. House/barn/orchard/greenhouse all situated on a small bluff, surrounded by fields and rolling hills. We saw horses, goats, cows, heard chickens -true country living. You actually hear the river rushing, the chickens clucking, etc. etc. NO TRAFFIC NOISE - wow - what a concept.

Mother's Day

What awesome kids I have.

K started my day with a lovely lunch at a tapas restaurant with champagne to boot. Then we spent some time antiquing ( one of my favorite pasttimes) and I found three plates to add to my Pink Depression glass collection! On sale no less - 30% off! Woo Hoo for me! And K went way overboard and bought me a quilt set - all the material, pattern, etc. for a queen size and I love, love, love the material! A wonderful beginners book and a couple of quilters magazines! That's my girl she pays attention. Oh and beautiful flowers/irises and lilies - the house smells divine.
Thank you my sweet - I surely do treasure you.

T is fixing me dinner! Stir fry - yummy and he got me the cutest darn card and wrote me a lovely note inside! And we have chocolate/chocolate ice cream cake for dessert! T is such a good guy and I appreciate everything he does for me. He has a beautiful garden in, growing me all kinds of wonderful veggies! There isn't anything he wouldn't do for me. He's my other treasure for sure.

What a lucky gal I am. God has surely blessed me in some many ways!
