Sorry I have not written in a while.... I have been really busy.... Just don't ask about what because I could not really tell you for sure......

I have been reading a few books some have been really good and some just drag along. I have been golfing a lot. Almost any chance I can get. I know that winter is just around the corner so I want to be out as much as possible. We have started to bowl again. Saturday night was the the 2nd time that we bowled for the new season. Ron and I bowl on a mixed league, it is an every other Saturday night one. Which makes it nice because we are not committed to every Saturday but just enough to have fun with. Plus I get to see my sister on those Saturdays and that is really wonderful.....

I went scrap booking with my sister in law Cheryl and my mother in law a couple of weeks ago. A friend of mine's first baby died when she was about 8 months pregnant. It was really sad. Of course the doctors could not say for sure why. So every year she has a crop called Emily's Scrap. And the proceeds go to "The Baby Pantry" here in town. The baby pantry is a program that helps with low income family or family's in trouble. They have car seats, clothes, diapers, food and anything related to a baby. So Emily's Scrap is for a good cause.

Well they had a cricut machine there with tons of cartridges that you could use..... I have wanted one of these machines for a long time. My sister has one and my mother in law has a small one. Even Becky my co-worker has one. But they run about $300.00 for the Expression.....

Well I bought one last week from HSN.... So I got to play over the weekend. They are really cool. Ron will be going to hunting camp this week so I will be playing while Dad is gone :)

I just have to finish up a baby quilt that I am making for my cousins son who is having a baby. We have the baby shower to go to in a couple of weeks.

I have all the blocks made from that quilt I am making from the Macalls magazine. I am thinking about making it a little larger so it will fit on my bed. I have to figure out how much bigger it needs to be. I am thinking that I may just add another row on. So I will be putting this up until after christmas. That way I can start working on Christmas gifts. I have lots of ideas for Christmas. Now I have to just decide what I am gonna be making......

Well hopefully I will get back to this more this week, maybe I will post some pics of my cricut and some things I have made with it....

Happy Monday

Nine - Eleven-

Isn't it funny how your days just pass you buy and then you have a day where you remember just about everything about it. Nine- eleven is one of those days. I remember I was at work and we were listening to the radio and started hearing a little bit what was happening. My husband was on 3rd shift. So I called him right away and he had the TV on and was telling me that it was true - that a jet intentionally flew into a building in New York and then he said there goes another one.... It was just a sad day. Needlessly sad.

We even went home to get a TV so we could watch what was going on and find out who did this.

Lets give a prayer for so those that lost there lives that day. And to those that are working to keep us safe.

Thursday.....

Sorry I have not been posting- I have been busy doing a little quilting and just enjoying the last of the summer....


Check out the bag I made up. I just love this little thing. I will be able to grab my camera- some cash and away I go. This could have come in handy when Ron and I went to the Buick open. That was where I got the idea at. I seen a couple of ladies with them. But I could not have my camera in there so I just had to use my brain for a minute. Plus I found a pattern in a Quilts and More magazine, but I just changed a couple of things around. I have my new glasses on. I have moved on to the middle age stage. Bifocals. But these are the kind that are three different levels. It has not taken me long to get used to them....I can't think what you call them. (huh middle age)





Please do not look around my house and see all the mess...... I have better things to do than clean house.....
Here is a closeup of my glasses.... Looking pretty good.......




Here is my Ronnie he also got new glasses - I think he needs them worst than me LOL. If he knew that I put this picture here he may have to do something drastic to me but we will keep it out little secret. Shhhhhhh.....



There this looks much better.... Boy I sure do love this man.... I know that the boys are all getting older but it is hard to believe that we have been married for also 23 years.....
