What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

We left this morning about 9 to go to San Angelo to have my two root canals re-done. It was a beautiful day for a road trip.   It’s so nice to go through wide, open space and farmland instead of cities and traffic. We got there in time for an early lunch and we...

Really, I am not a computer snob. I don’t care what brand it is, what it looks like . . I just want it to work and I want to like it. I want to like the feel of the keyboard. I want to like the way the mouse buttons work. I don’t even care...

Some days I start to write a blog post and I think to myself . . I shouldn’t say that! This is one of those posts.  When having bacon and eggs this morning, this will give you something to think about!  

Chad called Vince for Father’s Day. Chad and Nicole are looking for land to buy and they had been out looking at some plot and Vince and Chad got to talking about land . .  Vince: We’re retiring at Navarre Beach. Chad: Florida? Vince:  Yep . . your mom hasn’t agreed to that yet. Chad:...

Most every weekday morning, after breakfast is done, I sit in my chair and knit so I’m out of Vince’s way til he leaves for work. No matter where I seem to go in this little house, in the morning . . I’m in his way. But, when I sit down in my chair and...

Bloom where you’re planted has been a motto I’ve tried to live by and it’s been easy to be happy where I’m living until Addie came along and there’s 10 hours between us!  Sometimes I need to take my own advice. As I walked outside to put the chickens up, I looked down and found...

No pictures tonight. When I went to the chiropractor today, we were talking about gardening and he asked me if I’m seeing a lot of snakes. YES! Then he told me about his wife almost getting bit by a rattlesnake and as soon as he killed that one, he realized there was a second one...

With all the snake sightings, I’m so paranoid. Last night I was sitting in my chair and I kept hearing something on the floor beside me. I waited, thinking it would slither off and I would pretend there wasn’t a snake in the house next to my chair. Finally, I said “VINCE! There’s something down...

Mondays are always so busy. I think that my inner self believes if I get a whole lot done on Monday, I can slack the rest of the week. When I fixed the lamb chops on Sunday, I fixed enough for a second meal so we had that for lunch. I made some zucchini and...

Who remembers the song “They’re Coming To Take Me Away”?  Yesterday I was out picking beans and I was thinking about snakes. The bean patch has grown so much that I cannot see where I’m walking. I did have on boots. I had been out there an hour or so and it was hot so...

Summertime has arrived and it’s been hot and dry. One thing for sure . . it’s only going to get worse for the next few months. I think our next decent chance of rain in the long term forecast is towards the end of July . . makes it really hard to keep the garden...

They say things come in threes so I’m taking this as three signs that we should move . . tomorrow!  

I’m making dinner and it’s going to be really good. It’s in the oven . . 15 minutes more and it will all be done. Here’s the meat before I stuck it in the oven. I walked into the dining room and Vince was sitting there eating chips. Me: Vince! Why are you eating? Dinner...

Vince came home from work yesterday cracking up. There are a couple of new guys at work. Neither of them have figured out yet that Vince stays in trouble with his dear wife!

Every now and then, not more than once every few weeks, now that Chad is back living in the area, I check the houses for sale in our old town of MO. Last night, right before I went to bed, I clicked on “new listings” and there it is . . our old house ....

Today I was thinking that it might be fun to show where I started knitting and where I ended knitting each evening. Then I thought it might be fun (more for me than for you) to talk about the day as a whole so I’ll try that for a while and see how it goes....

The cotton candy blizzard at Dairy Queen is my favorite. They’re only around for a short time, usually the month of June. I look so forward to getting one and then I might get another one towards the end of June . . right before they go away for 11 months. Yesterday while out running...

Have you ever had Zingers®? Vince and I have been watching shows about healthy eating and there’s not a whole lot healthy about these things . . probably nothing, in fact, but I love them. I don’t buy them except when I’m traveling from here to MO. I always stop at one little pit stop...

Two conversations with Vince that are worth sharing: First, we were coming home from town and we were talking about something. Vince: I was talking with Keith and he said (and I’ve already forgotten what Keith said) Me: Who’s Keith? Vince: Smith. Me: Keith Smith? Who’s that? Vince: Mike Smith! Me: But who is Keith?...

Any trip to Walmart around the first of the month is always crazy but things were just a bit crazier than normal today. “Mr. Cannot Stay At Home For A Whole Weekend” had to go out. The only thing I knew that he had to have was orange juice and somehow, we ended up not...
