Terrific Tuesday

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

This morning when the alarm went off I laid there and waited for it to stop buzzing so that I could sleep for another ten minutes until it buzzed again. When it buzzed the second time I sat up and said to myself that I just could not make it to Bible study today [...]

Don’s Crepe Myrtle Is Finally Blooming

Friday, July 11th, 2008

In the spring of 1991, Don planted two crepe myrtle bushes at the edge of the front lawn. I think he intended to put a row or them along the edge of the yard and next to the road. They never grew very much and it was last year before they finally had [...]

Lazy Day

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Did not get up until one this afternoon for it was in the wee hours of the morning before I finally fell asleep.  The first thing that I usually do after getting up is check to see if I have any emails from family or close friends.  As happens so many times when I get [...]

Islands In The Sunset

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

I talked with Ashley today and Mignon is not coming back to Louisiana this week. So, I guess I get my extra days to work on the quilt after all. I think I am finally happy with the arrangement of the blocks. I will see if I still feel that way [...]

Decisions, Decisions

I Goofed

Monday, July 7th, 2008

I was working away on the appliqués and getting them pressed onto the background fabric and feeling so proud of myself and then I goofed royally. I had the five pieces cut for the Stone Container logo and had my paper pattern underneath so that I could make sure they were placed correctly. [...]

Capri Pants, Pedal Pushers, Or Toreador Pants?

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

I have been getting things together that I will need when I go on the mission trip in August and yesterday I bought capri pants. One pair was too large so I took them back to the store but they did not have the smaller size. Went to another store and they did [...]

Happy 4th Of July

Friday, July 4th, 2008

The Fourth of July is the one time that I would like to have a sixty-inch TV so that I could see the fireworks even better than I do now on my small television. I was sitting here at the computer reading emails and almost forgot to turn on the TV. I [...]

Crepe Myrtle Is A Beautiful Flower

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

For some reason I could not get to sleep last night and was still awake at five this morning. Finally fell asleep and then woke up a few minutes before one in the afternoon. I needed to return some books on tape to the library so that was my first errand. I [...]
