Time flying

Been a while since I last posted, don't know where the time went.  I've been busy making swap blocks for a challenge and a block of the month project and round robin borders.  Today I'll be working on a new purse.  I have spent the last 2 days working on this computer, it ran into some problems on Mon. and it has taken me the whole week to get it straigtened out.  I thnk all the problems are resoved because it is humming right along this morning.  I'm off to get sewing some more, back later.  First I want to call Trudy and see how Bill is doing, he's back in the hospital with muscle and heart issues.

Wonderful day

We went to Mass at 10 am for William's first communion.  What a beautiful morning, all those sweet faces, so eager to do right and please everyone.  The smiles and happy faces were awesome.  After Mass we all went to our favorite restaurant for lunch and ice cream.  William opened his gifts and wa a very happy little boy.  I also gave him his late birthday present, he said it was worth waiting for.  LOL, we gave him 2 rockets to shoot and 2 car kits to build and decorate.  Katie was alter server for the mass and she did an awesome job, the Priest even thanked her at the end of the mass. 

George is out mowing, going to spread weed and feed and he just finish running the rototiller through the garden.  I think he's going to plant a lot of stuff tomorrow.  I watched the Cubs win and now I'm watching the Kentucky Derby.  Well it's on the TV while I type this, then I'm going to sew before I have to start some supper. 

Thursday May 5, 2011

On 5/5/55 my then boy friend surprised me with a beautiful orchid corsage and in the middle of the orchid was a one caret diamond engagement ring.  We were married 6/2/56 and like the energizer bunny it's still ticking.  I wonder if George remembers, I'll have to tease him and ask him if he has any surprises for me today to celebrate.  I don't have the ring anymore, I lost the stone out of it 2 yrs. ago, very very sad about that. 

Today I will be going shopping for William's First Communion gift, he receives his first communion on Sat. and Katelyn is an alter server for the mass.  William has been chosen to bring the gifts up at communion.  He is so excited. 

Going to get a haircut too, I look like a shaggy sheep dog, it's past time for that.  Well I'm off to get things going.

I'm back

after spending the last couple of days getting the sewing room back in working order.  Don't know why I trash it so badly when I'm working on a project.  Looks so much better now that I have my fat quarters in pretty floral bins I bought at WalMart.  I bought 6 of them, they were 2 for $7, such a bargain.  I sorted them by color so I won't have to paw through all of them when I'm looking for a specific color.

Going to lunch bunch today, haven't been there for over a month, it will be good to see dear friends and chat for a few hrs.  Might even get some hand sewing done! 

Just talked to sis-in-law Trudy and she is going to the EENT Dr. Thurs. for a steroid shot to see if they can clear up her hearing loss.  Hope it works for her, don't know what caused the hearing loss.  She may have more answers after Thurs.

I'm off to get ready to leave for lunch bunch, a fun day.
