TGIF 11/12

[Blondie]

Happy Friday !

Still trying to sweep the cobbies out of my head this morning. On my second cup of coffee and it is beginning to wake me up.

Laura, thinking of you this day and hoping all goes well with the Dr. If it is Lupus, that would be one less worry on your mind ~ knowing what the problem is and learning what is available in treatment plan, lifestyle etc will be another challenge for you. I have had several friends and clients over the years with lupus. For them it has been times of calm and times of flare ups. Knowledge is power.

Looking seriously at the deal of the day. My sis is a tapestry freak and this might would make a nice little stocking stuffer for her.

I need to seriously start cleaning up our spare bedroom - relations will be coming in after Thanksgiving and that bed will be needed. Gee, I didn't even know there was a BED in that room - ugh. I so dislike cleaning. I would rather sew.

Have a great day ladies.

Happy Friday to you to! I hope to have a great weekend of quilting and getting some things done. I am with you on the bed in my sewing room. Only I have till christmas to get it cleaned up for company. I will say when I get in there and clean I can't wait to start sewing and mess it up again. Have a great weekend

Re: TGIF 11/12

YES! I made it to 53!!
After some picking up here and there, a run to the store so the guys and Katie have quick things to eat, and a last load of clothes to throw in the washer, I'm off to Lancaster to shop with my girlfriend and sister until Sunday. We'll probably only hit 3 or 4 quilt shops and enjoy eating out, but it's the company and hot tub I'm looking forward to.

Another beautiful weekend out there and I'm praying that everyone has weather like this and can get out to enjoy the sunshine.

Blondie - I just saw that you live in N. Carolina. Anywhere near the East Coast part of it where I might be traveling to get down to Parris Island and I could wave as I go by? Not sure which route I'll take yet, but another Marine mom is stopping by sometime in the next week or so and we are going over travel plans. She just got back so I'll get some good tips from her.

Have a great day everyone!!!!
Hugs,

For Trish: Birthday Happiness

As we observe your birthday now,
Your cake and gifts don't matter much.
These common things aren't really you,
Ribbons, paper hats and such.

We celebrate a person who
Brings happiness to everyone,
Someone who gives more than she gets,
And fills our lives with joy and fun.

So Happy Birthday, and many more!
We hope you make it to a hundred and two,
Because we always want to have
The special pleasure of knowing you.

For weeks now I have been "forgetting something" and today I FINALLY figured out what it was, THIS particular daily thread!!! OMG! I have my airhead moments!

So a very GOOD Morning to you all! and isn't Friday just the BEST, YYYAY!

First, thank you Blondie for your beautiful clips that are always here, LOVE seeing them and the sparkles and had to crack up at you wondering if there was even a bed in the room, been there done THAT!

Next a big Hau'oli La Hana! (happy birthday) to you Trish! Here's to having the best one YET and many, many more to come!

I'm starting back to work on Monday full-time so that I can pay for my horsey habit (have very big purchases that I need to make and am so excited about them!) and fabric, new machine and a Voyager 17 as well as my kiddos are off to college starting in the fall It's a shifting of gears after being home for so many years but I'm ready and will of course do my best and will be glad to interact with other adults, hope I remember how!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and see ya when I see ya coz I dunno who much time or energy I'll have to get here I'll be blogging to, I realized that, that's a great tool for journaling so, here I go!

Happy Birthday, Trish! I wish I was going with you this weekend! It sounds like so much fun! Clean up your sewing room? No not me, I got to much sewing to do. LOL Now where is the sewing machine, I know it's in here somewhere! LOL
About the deal of the day, is it quilting fabric that looks like tapestry? Or is it tapestry? I know stupid question but I'm confused as usual. That is some pretty fabric. Wouldn't it make a pretty bag? Well going swimming and then out to eat with my youngest and his wife. It is sew beautiful today. I love fall! OH, btw I'm on the way to the coast, you'll pass right by me, Wave to me too! Saundra

Bridget, mingling with adults will come back to you quickly. Good luck on the new job.
I'm hoping our weekend is going to be bright and sunny too. It has been a beautiful week with the sunshine everyday. So unlike NY but once in a while we get a break. So I'm enjoying it while I can. Have a lovely weekend ladies and have sew much fun. Love, Jan

I do not live anywhere near the coast. I am way up in the corner of NC right on the Va. state line. Don't know which way you're coming from - Interstate 81 through Roanoke? You may be able to catch our Laura then. I am south east of there about an hour and half drive. Currently, I am without a vehicle - my transmission is out. No $$ to get it fixed so I am using my Daddy's "lil putt putt pick me up truck". Not safe for any distance driving. Just around town driving. Sigh. Would LOVE the opportunity to see you. And Laura, and Jan, and Saundra (who lives east of me about an hour), and Suzi and Bridgette and Hillbilly and ALL the rest of the sisters on this wonderful group. It would be marvelous to have a quilting retreat with all of us someday. We would never sleep, just eat, sew and stare at each other's beautimous works of art.
Big hugs - eat the frosting on the cake first.
