Two Lunch Thursday


We had an opportunity to eat with both boys yesterday. First we went to the Special Ladies Lunch at preschool where Mom's/Grandmothers/and a few Aunts joined the kids for a special Mothers Day event. It was early so we then had time to suprise our first grader for lunch at his school. He was very excited because it was "breakfast for lunch" day....I opted for the grilled cheese instead.

Quilt Stamps

My friend Sam thought of me when she saw these quilt themed stamps and made me a great gift bag. I can use these for cards or labels...or whatever. She even made the card on the bag (trying to look like a quilt block...she got very close to an attic windows four patch....hmmm may have to try it in fabric sometime) There are little quilt blocks and some great sayings....

When life throws you scraps, make a quilt

May your bobbin always be full

May your sorrows be patched and your joys quilted

And my favorite...and Sam my sentiments to you!

In the crazy quilt of like...I'm glad you're in my block of friends

I will put these to use for years to come! Thanks Sam (And Thanks for being next year's Ski Club President...you will be great)

Time to Get Fit


Heaven knows my fitness level has slipped over the last few years. But what scares me more is the loss of flexibility and how easily sore I get (especially in the back). OK I know I am not twenty anymore but I do think I can get things back in better shape. So now that I will have a little more flexibility in my schedule I have signed up for a three month membership at Golds. They are offering two to three different yoga/pilates classes each weekday....so No Excuses.

And I am going to get bike riding as soon as the weather dries up!!

Poor Baby

Remember the scene in Shrek II where Puss in Boots tries to give his pitiful face to get his way...well Banjo was trying his best last night to be fed early. Seems he has been sharing his breakfast with a gray cat and an opposum. I sneaked him a little extra last night before heading home....don't tell Go Postal.

Second Floor!



The roof trusses are next, but with all the wet weather this week they may be delayed.

Go Postal said there was about a 1/4" of rain water on the second floor. It was slowly dripping through the seams in the sheathing. All the second floor space will be now available for storage and he may decide to add a few more windows down the left side so there will be more light up there. Its exciting to watch the progress.

Chips and Salsa Time


Like I really need an excuse to eat Mexican...but tonight Go Postal and I will do just that! With the rain, some of my to do list today will be tough. But I have a quilt that needs basting, laundry, some internet search work to begin....and maybe I will bake a pound cake. I just realized our outplacement office is near my favorite quilt shop, maybe that will make me want to go more once I begin the job hunt!
