That is why I haven't gotten to post till later this evening. Here is how it went. I was so lucky to realize that I got to get off of work at noon on friday because on saturday I was working a registration at my University. So I decided to go get a fill and a pedicure (very much needed and oh so important)! Got home and then Tom, Sam, Kevin and myself met some friends (the Sovines) for dinner and then went to their house for some friendly talk. Got up early Saturday morning and met (co-workers) Beth and Toni for breakfast at 8:00 at Panera Bread which was fantastic. I had a strawberry organic yogart parfait, a cinnamon roll and milk. We all then worked registration and during that time Tom decided to have an open house on Sunday. He saw there was another in the neighborhood and since we are selling our house by owner he decided to take advantage of the realty companys advertising cost and put our sign by theirs.(He is so smart) So that meant I had to come home and get the inside of the house together. We then went out with (Dave and Nancy) our friends and also neighbors for dinner then drinks. On sunday got up early for 7:45 church and then out to breakfast. We got home and still of course had to get the house ready, print off some more flyers and open up at 1:00. We had only two sets of people come through but they may be possibilites. We were really happy with that since the sign only went up on saturday and it didn't cost us a cent! I finally did cook a meal though, baked pork chops, rice, pillsbury french bread and green beans. There is still nothing like a good homemade meal. I was very lucky this weekend that we got to dine out so much and spend time with good friends. Oh yeah, I went to the grocery after dinner. Oh and while I was waiting for people to come through the house I was studying for a test in my history class-Hitler and WWII, always an enlightening subject. Another thing, Tom and I took a walk around the neighborhood for a bit. I bet if I thought hard enough I could eek something else out of the day but off to another subject.
I always enjoy talking with the new students and this year our family will have a college freshman too. He will be getting registered in April, not for Saint Francis but for a technical university in the same city. Here he is when he was nine months old, so so soooooo cute and here he is all debonair and handsome. We are just very proud of him. He is going to be a computer networker and I am sure a darn good one.
I received these pretty stacks of fabric a few years ago from some fellow quilters. I have never been able to bring myself to untie the ribbon. The are so pretty this way and I get a lot of pleasure looking at the stacks. Someday when I need a special piece of the fabric I will break them open.
This is a lovely little dresden plate I made in blue and yellow. It is so happy and I put it in my office at work. It just reminds me of summertime. Another thought of summer time are these pictures. Tom, Kevin and I were able to borrow a cottage on Lake Erie and the woman who owned it had very sweet flower gardens. To thank her I painted these two pictures of her flower pot and garden. She paid me such a complement by having them framed, matted and put on the wall in that same cottage. I so appreciated that and hope to be able to see them the next time we go.
Every Quilt, piece of fabric or black clothing has fur on it because of this little fella....Stonewall Jackson. He is my constant companion. When he was just a wee kitten he would crawl up and sit on my shoulder. He is a stinker, always keeping the other two cats in line and thinks he owns me. Everyone should have a friend like this.
Todays simple pleasure....Turtle Chex Mix...YUM!
