Thank you for that comment. Being left handed, I never did get the hang of being able to crochet because the ones teaching me were right handed, but I can knit, and I enjoy it. One of the things I don't mind is putting in zippers, which worked out good growing up, because my mother hated doing zippers. She made some pretty clothes for me once we worked out the fact that she was color blind, and she had to let me pick the materials, and trims, but I usually did the zippers.

There was 1 thing I did sew a few of for my daughter. We were at the mall, and when my little grandson got tired of his bottle, or bored, he would toss it. Sometimes repeatedly. I got some flannel, and made a pouch for any size bottle to fit into it, with a drawstring type top, so that the bottle was secure, then I made a nice wristband from the same material, which could be adjusted because of the velcro strips I sewed onto it, then sewed the drawstring to the wristband. His bottles never hit the floor again. My daughter said that when she was out, other mothers would ask her where she got it. She said I should have started making them to sell, but I made about 4 of them for her, and that was enough sewing for me. Like I said, it's not that I can't sew, I just hate doing it.

Yes! You should have made more of those! The binky attached to the end of a bib is big now, but I hate making things that go around babies necks.

Sing with me now,

Cha cha cha CHEERFUL!!!






SoooOoooOoooOoOooooooO Fun to talk to myself!!!


La la la LA!

Medications adjusted?


For some reason last night the cats, who formerly got along, decided they were mortal enemies. I'm not sure who said what because this morning all that's left as evidence is two huffy cats and some fur on the ground.

Al, was that your voice I heard echoing down the halls when everyone was trying to sleep?

Mentioning loud voices, I'm surprised there weren't also two wide-eyed and grumpy humans in addition to the fur at your place, SCG. Cats may stalk their prey silently, but they usually scream the house down when they battle. We have a couple of cats here that don't like each other, and one sometimes lets loose with an ear-splitting shriek when the other cat just walks into the room. Who needs a defibrillator, eh?

Kids are awesome. Oldest,17 has a boyfriend now, did not think I'd like the idea. He took her out to dinner last two weekends. Brought me home last week awesome steak and sides doggie bag from OutBack steakhouse. Last night wings and loaded potato wedges from Buffalo Wild Wings. I might have to let him live.
Right now I'm snuggling with youngest boy on the couch watching 'monkey george' while playing on my phone. Quiet right now with all the rest in school.

Geez Les, you are a pushover! A little food and
"touch my daughter and you DIE!"
turns into
"come on in, sit down, what did you bring me to eat?"

Thank goodness he isn't old enough to buy beer or you would be planning the wedding with him!

We had such a good weekend this past weekend. We went to see the Guess Who Friday night. The last song was American Woman and the encore song was These Eyes. Great concert. Saturday I worked with SCG on the growth chart. Yesterday I got started on a birthday wall hanging for my step son. He is a policeman in Michigan. I am working off a picture but I think it is coming out really nice. I just have to quilt the black backing and it will be ready to go.

Beer, seems he's got you wrapped around his finger. I bet your daughter has told him what to do to keep you happy

dsqard you have been busy. How wonderful you got to see the Guess Who!

I loved their music I saw them many years ago at Disneyland in Calif my favorite song by them was These Eyes.
They used to have a lot of groups sing there. I would go just to hear them all the time. It only cost 20.00 to get it back then. lol

Your stepson is going to love that quilt! It looks great!
