Quite a busy day. I made gumbo for our youngest granddaughter. This is her birthday week and she always wants me to make gumbo. Debra made her cute cupcakes and with a houseful of family, it was pretty festive. I went to get my hair done this morning so, after some months, I am a redhead again. I have had two respiratory infections and strep throat since Christmas, so my hair was certainly not a priority. Now that we can quit whining about flu, strep, etc., we can now whine about our allergies which come along with the wind "blowing across the plains" here in Oklahoma. Sure hope you all have a lovely weekend, supposed to rain here, and we aren't complaining.

It's March, I can't believe it. Another fairly mild winter for us here in the Midwest. It's been really crazy, some days 70 degrees and then the next day it will snow. The weathermen just can't seem to get it right. I haven't been doing anything of notice, mainly working on my quilts. I even got one mailed to the long arm quilter today. I can't wait to get it back. I started it in the late summer but when I had my hand manipulation and problems, the quilt went on the back burner. Now, I'm ahead of the game and have a gift that will be ready for Christmas this year. I also, have the blocks made for a quilt for one of our Granddaughters. It was to be a wedding gift in Sept. Maybe, I'll get it to her by their first anniversary. It's so hard to finish projects when new ones crop up all the time. The new spring fabrics are out and so sweet. I have to show restraint, as I haven't even finished the first quilt I ever made. I wish now that when I started to quilt that I had started a diary with fabric names and pictures. I have no idea how many I have made in the time since I started quilting a few years ago. Hope you have a great rest of the week!!

Lots of winter weather was supposed to hit us, but thankfully it passed us by, however, we did get a lot of moisture through rain, sleet and mix. We will take any precip. to help out with our drought.

It's been an exciting weekend and last few days. We went out to the Philharmonic on Friday night and to dinner. It was the first time we'd been out in don't know when. We had dinner at the Texas Roadhouse, and, of course, I had chicken fried steak. The Phil. was a tribute to Cole Porter. It was delightful!

More Snow

We woke up this morning to more snow. It turned into a dismal, dreary, dark day. I really shouldn't complain because we need the rain or etc. so badly. We, here in the midwest, have had drought conditions for two years now. This is certainly helping our water table. I spent most of the day working on my quilting. This was the first block in a new all heart quilt I am starting. It has very small pieces and was really difficult to do. I had alot of ripping out to do, which I'm sure added to my calling the day dismal. And as I predicted, there was no school today. Quinn played in and around all day, always was one of his superheros. The snow melted some today but anything left on the streets is freezing over by now, so we'll wait and see what that does to the school bells tomorrow. TGIF, we're going to try and go out to the Symphony tomorrow night, will see tomorrow how things work out. Have a great Friday!

Snow

Guess what I'm back again, however, still haven't gotten the camera out. This happens to be Deb's picture out of her window. Mine is upstairs and looks nothing like this. We've had another gloomy, cold, snowy, rainy, etc. day here in the heartland.

Guess this is kind of pitiful looking at what some of you folks have had. All of this is supposed to freeze over tonight so for us weenies here in Okla., it will probably be schools closed etc. tomorrow. You know we can take 60 mph winds on an almost  daily basis, but give us a little snow and we're paralized.

Have a great last half of the week.

Busy Day

I spent my day putting up a few Valentines Day decorations and dragging out a few four leaf clovers. I never did really get anything up for V Day, had the materials to make a wreath but never felt like it. It was a really puny month in this house. Everyone was sick.  So today, I made a St. Patrick's Day wreath. Of course, I never thought to take pictures. I think I deliberately don't get out my camera because I'm so bad at it. I just have a point and shoot but it stills bugs me. I will try to take a picture tomorrow and post it. We'll see. Now that I'm feeling better, I have been back at my quilting so that has kept me out of trouble and off the streets. I WILL take pictures and show what
 I've been working on. Until then, have a great evening!
