Summer 2012 Granny "Square" Swap (sign ups closed) - Page 14

You don't worry about a thing but moving.  I'm sure we all know how that can be.  I have two friends moving tomorrow to Pahrump, NV and he can't do anything physical since he has to use a walker to get around and she is a cancer survivor.  They had people to help them they thought and they backed out but she's at least got two to help load furniture.  Will help out as best as a 72 year old can help.  I still lift my chicken feed so I can at least do something.

I got two zucchini out of the garden yesterday and a squash.  My egg plant is now in bloom.  I'm thinking of some fried green tomatoes also. I still don't have any ripe ones but the green are getting to be good size with lots of other little green ones.  I have the usual "Celebrity" and a "Solar Fire" that is supposed to do well in the heat and a new one "Heat Wave" that I'm trying. I found some lovely pink Penstemon yesterday that I'm going to add to my flower garden.  I lost the two new climbers I planted this year and don't know why.  The third one is fine.  The wind here is bad on new plants and that might be the case.  One of them "New Dawn" I really wanted to live and it didn't.  I'll try again.

Hobby Lobby is open in Victorville and I want to go but my daughter is out of school for the summer and there is a Hobby Lobby there as well as Joann's and Michaels so will probably go visit as soon as she gets back from the coast.  Must be nice to have in laws that have a beach house and a cabin in the Sequioas.

Sunny, Take care moving and don't hurt yourself.  We'll keep the home fires burning until you can add your two cents worth  and it doesn't make you a terrible hostess.

Sunny~  You are an AWESOME hostess!!!! You don't worry about a thing, but getting yourself moved.  I'm sure all the swappers will keep the thread going. I'll check in on Sat night after DD & I get settled in our room.  Be careful!  

Betty~ Your garden sounds so lovely!!!!  I'm so jealous!!!! So glad it is flourishing for you.  

Happy Friday Swappers!!!!!! 

The only Cafe Latte I can find is the regular Red Heart, not the Shimmer. It's the only one on the list that isn't soft and slinky, is it the right one? Or is there another one out there?

Happy Saturday everybody! Have a good weekend!! I've got to work this weekend, but I'm hoping I'll still have time to crochet a little here and there :)

Good morning everyone.  I have to go to town and don't much want to go but if I don't I'll have smelly breath and my dentures will slip. lol  It was windy last night and I lost part of my desert willow again.  I think my husband is pruning it wrong although the wind was really bad.

I ordered my yarn (yipee) from JoAnn's.  I couldn't find the Caron Simply Soft Party to get the Royal Sparkle.  I love blue.  I found the Lav Bluee and it's spelled that way.  I got that and the Cranberry and Shamrock and Ivory.  I already have the bone and cafe' latte.  Whenever they come in I'm good to go. 

I helped a friend and her husband move on Friday and I'm still sore from lifting boxes and moving furniture.  They are in Parump, NV now.  I gave her one of my afghans that I made last year.  I make them for the sake of making them and they make a quick gift if I need one in a hurry.  I finished the quilt top for my 12 yr old grandson and now I have the pillow case to make to match and then I can quilt them whenever I get to Joann's  to get the batting.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday.......
