Introducing my grandson - born 5/24/11 - beautiful don't ya think?

Here's my baby with her baby! More pics to come

WHEW! Finally back at it............

Wow, it's been a long time but I'm baaaaack.

Have a beautiful grandson now - a few more quilts under my belt - and it's the
best time of the year - FALL!

It's Christmas time! Wow 6 months since I've blogged - shame on me.

Big news! I'm going to be a grandmother! Next summer the little bean will arrive - can't wait little bean to meet you. The little bean has made the momma sick for the first three months. Momma is starting to feel a bit better now. We are all anxious to find out what flavor bean you are and maybe next week that will be revealed to us.

Christmas decorations are up and shining brightly. Packages are wrapped and waiting. Menu is being formulated and food shopping will commence soon.

Garden

T's garden is growing. We ate corn tonight - it didn't grow very big - he thinks he pollinated it too early but it was tender and yummy just the same.

We have lots of cukes coming and tomatoes and looks like the potatoes are doing well.

He has a new crop of corn in now - different variety - looks very vigorous and healthy.

CATCHING UP - AGAIN

I'm failing at being a daily blogger - I guess I have to lower my expectations and just be happy to be able to blog whenever I can.

SAD NEWS:
My Aunt Dorothy died last week. She was my favorite - I loved her - a lot! I'm going to miss her and it makes me very sad when I think she's not here anymore. She was very, very good to me and I loved her and was so grateful to have had her in my life. She would have turned 90 next Valentine's Day - I wish she could have hit that milestone. She's in heaven now with my mom and my dad and with Uncle Paul and all the other family that have gone before her. She's happy and in a really, really good place.

Another Catch Up - Boy - o - Boy

My goodness the days just get away from me! Just to catch up:

Had dinner with KT Thursday night - tried the new Sam's Place in downtown Brea-not so good. We won't be going back. Very limited menu - burgers, salads. We ordered chips and salsa and the chips were stale. My ice tea sat on the table with no ice for quite a while and never did the waitress offer to ice it up - I have a pet peeve about that - after all it is called "iced" tea!

Fairly quiet uneventful weekend. Did get the grout sealer and Yar sprayed my new flower box. So I bought small succulents to plant in it. Turned out nice. I'd like to try that again.

Monday did some laundry/grocery shopping. Tuesday had exam with dermatologist and had a small spot on my right arm that he did a biopsy on. One stitch and will go back in a week for results - saying a prayer it's not anything too alarming. Today, Wednesday went to perio again - have a "problem" pocket on one tooth - what's new? I am plagued with plaque issues throughout my body :-) Put some medicine in again and will re-check after my next cleaning in July.

Registered with a new dentist - old one was a problem with Yar and his teeth - so onward we go. I really like and trust my perio and he recommended this group - so we'll see.

Tonight is AI final! Hoping Mama Sox' wins!

Have ironed all the material for the queen size quilt and am ready to start cutting. This is the kit KT bought me for Mom's Day. Really, really nice material-high thread count stuff! Then I'm going to search for puppy material and make Sebastian a quilt. Seems only fair since Stella has hers now. KT says she uses it and likes it a lot - so that's good to know. (Pic at top is Stella's Quilt)

Talked to MidSis who is coming here in July with her fam. I'm very excited and am so grateful that they can come - even if it's only a week. MidSis is bringing along two of her dear friends, who I adore and I always say - the more the merrier. We will make some memories for sure.
