Nine Quilts Almost Finished

November 23rd, 2011

Very few people were at church tonight but was not really surprised since many were already out of town visiting family and I am sure that many stayed home just to work on the meal for tomorrow.  The pastor brought a great sermon on worshiping God by thanking Him for our blessings. Since Scott will [...]

Lunch at Burger King

November 22nd, 2011

Had lunch with Ashley and the boys at Burger King.  Not our favorite restaurant but the price was right and the boys love playing in the play area.  Ashley and I had a great time just talking and visiting.  I was still awake this morning at six but I got up at ten thirty so [...]

What A BORING Day

November 19th, 2011

Left home at five this morning and was back home tonight just before eight thirty.  Oh it was a LONG and BORING day.  There was only one thing on the ballot and that was an amendment.  There were twenty-two commissioners working and in all that long day we only had forty-four people come it to [...]

Ready For Exciting Day Tomorrow

November 18th, 2011

Today I quilted two quilts and then tonight I have seven pinned and ready to sew together and then turn and topstitch.  No sewing at all tomorrow for I will leave home at five in the morning and will not get home tomorrow night until a little before nine.  I will be working as a [...]

Eight Quilts Now Complete

November 16th, 2011

In two days I have completed two more quilts.  The plan was one a day but that was if I started on the first of November.  Eight are now finished but that means there are still twenty-five to make.  I better get down to business and make two or three a day or I will [...]

Wonderful Birthday Dinner

November 15th, 2011

Tonight Ashley and the boys took me to Ronin Japanese Hibachi Steak House & Sushi House in Ruston for my birthday.  Wow, the food was so delicious and watching the chef cook was delightful.  Bryce covered his eyes before the guy set the oil on fire for he said that it scared him but Brody [...]

Best Laid Plans

November 14th, 2011

The plan for completing thirty-three quilts for the Christmas boxes at church seemed simple enough.  Originally I planned to start working on the quilts in September but other things kept coming up.  I decided that if I started on the first of November and make at least one quilt each day, except for Sunday, I [...]

Quilts For Christmas Boxes

November 11th, 2011

Each year at Christmas our church gives Christmas boxes to families in the Quitman school area.  Last year I told Donna, the organizer, that I would make quilts for each of the kids in the families that would be receiving boxes.  For some reason I did not get quilts made last year, it was probably [...]

Happy Halloween, 2011

October 31st, 2011

  My two favorite little goblins came by for goodies.  Bryce was the Mad Scientist and Brody started out as the Dragon Cowboy but did not like wearing the top to the costume so he ended up at my house in just his regular clothes. This weekend Ashley made this jack-o-lantern that shows what happens [...]
