Baby birds

Bill made a couple of bluebird boxes earlier this year and we “planted” them next to the grass in the rear of the house.  There wasn’t much interest for awhile but finally the chickadees took note of one of them and started spending lots of time going in and out, in and out.
Bill really thought [...]

Happy Birthday to me!!

Today I celebrate having enjoyed 60 summers and surviving 60 winters.  It seems to me that the winters are always so much longer than the summers.  It must be because I’m a summer baby (guess that should be…was a summer baby) and I just like summer better.
I already blogged about the surprise party the other [...]

A “welcome to summer” surprise birthday party cookout

That is quite a title, huh?  We or rather Bill, has been planning a cookout for a month or so.  He has wanted to have one for several years and decided this was the year.  Soooo, we sent out some invitations to people we like…coworkers, family, friends, neighbors, etc.  Altogether there were about 40 people [...]

One door closes, another door opens

Anyone reading this blog knows that I have sold my condo and moved into Bill’s house.  Finally, the closing took place on Thursday and was bittersweet.  I have mentioned in earlier posts that I hated to sell my little piece of the world but now that it’s over and done; I can look forward to [...]

Some time at home

Finally, I  finished moving everything from the condo, cleaned it up and locked the door for the last time yesterday morning.  As I was sitting in the driveway seeing “my” place for the last time and remembering the last four years and how much I loved this place, I knew that I had left it [...]

Another exciting giveaway

No, I haven’t jumped on the giveaway bandwagon; however, if you check out Sheree’s blog you will find tons of scraps in her giveaway.  She has some really nice patterns and will have a booth at the Houston Quilt Market in October.  It’s all very exciting.
Thanks for stopping by…

Behind on Doodle Day

With all the moving I have fallen behind in my Doodle Day posts.  For one thing, I keep getting bumped off the blog and have trouble posting a new doodle.  Helen Suzanne has been very helpful in reinviting me but the problem persists.
Here are my entries for the last two subjects…
This is a weird clock [...]

Such a boring blog

I love reading blogs.  I could spend most of the day reading what others are doing creatively.  I find it very inspiring.  Then I come back here and I’m really disappointed in my blog.  It’s just soooo boring.  There isn’t any quilty news, no quilty love, no interesting photos.  Other blogs are bright and colorful, [...]

Relocation Day

Rain, all day, hard, pouring, soaking rain!  ARGH!!! It’s not easy moving in the rain.  I am physically relocated to Bill’s house.  It will take time to get materially and emotionally settled.
My closing is tentatively scheduled for the 25th but I’m hoping to have absolutely everything moved by the end of this week or next [...]

An anniversary and a new beginning

June 14, Flag Day.  Today is a day of mixed feelings.  Forty years ago today I was married at 19.  He was a decent man but it didn’t take long before I realized he wasn’t the man for me. We really didn’t get along very well and didn’t have much in common.   However, we [...]
