Dh was off today and had an appointment to look at a house. I said OH H___ NO when we pulled up. He said he couldnt tell from the picture that it set on a really steep hill and had lots of steps inside the house-----maybe 40 years ago nah even 40 years ago I already had enough of mowing terraces to know I didnt want to mow this hillside. The drive way from the street to the house was way too steep probably 45 degree angle, only flat area was small area out the back door.

 Well, you tell dh we all said NO.... put the little bunny you made me last year out on his shelf... smiled when I thought of you Brenda!

 

   Did a bunch of errands, one included a young lady who use to live down the street from us, I have known her since she ws 8, her mother passed away in 2008 when she was 16, so I kinda tuck her under my wing when she needs it... she just had a new baby girl, so I spent an hour or so lovin on the baby, bringing gits to her older 3 boys and some fun gifts for Alora.... so fun making for a girl after all these boys!  came home and worked ont eh owl a bit and all I need are a beak and feet and that one will be done!  Then to start on the rabbits MJ posted, bought the pattern yesterday and I am chomping at the bit to git er done!!

A few pictures of Miss Jade

 

What an absolute DOLL Jaden is!  (Mom's a pretty girl, too ~ )  I can't believe she's a year old now?  Wow!  Where does the time fly to?!  Thanks for sharing.

So glad you got the granny squares and like them, Rene'.  (I'm sorry I misspelled your profile name, too.  My fingers kinda did their own version ~ )  Hope your birthday was great, too.

well,the miss-spelling is on me,I was the one  who wrote and gave it to you,I've always had trouble with the spelling

Katy funny you mentioned carrying groceries because dh brought that up himself after he got done carrying them in here when we got back. On slick days you would never get the car up that drive into the garage or even in the drive to park. Shoot its doubtful I could make it up that hill on foot either even when its just wet. It was steep. Oh he agreed with me and said this place was everything we were trying to get away from but way worse.

[bgs]

I have spent my morning filling in the crater at the back of our shed that I just filled on Mon. My little barricade did not deter them so I have to try something bigger. I really had other things I needed to do. Wanted to get it fixed as dh would just explode if he knew.

 

Mary Jo we had 80's again yesterday.

 

Well off to see if I can get some of the things done that I didnt get to earlier.

good afternoon,

he managed to pass me his flu,feels like I'm run over by a Mac truck.all plans are out the window

[Lovin2Crochet]

Oh! that's quite alright, Linda ~   As long as Rene' know where were each coming from ~ LoL

 

Sorry you're getting your round with that flu bug ~ Just take it easy and get your fluids down, and rest.

 

We just had a terrific thunder storm roll thru here a bit ago!  High winds and a whole lotta rain!  Looks like a day spent inside, and crocheting will be a good respect for me ~

Carole (Lovin2Crochet) I just overlook my name misspelling, I've had it all my life with my first name  Had a good birthday.  I'm feeling kinda puny too, hopefully it passes by my husband!!!

 

Everybody else have a good evening

 Fell better sweetie, maybe this good weather coming up will help this thing move along faster...

[pineknott]

good morning

I feel better today,the power of motrin and a box of Lipton chicken noodle soup

its almost 70,think I'll do what they did for us as kids,get out in the sunshine and fresh air

have a good day

[Charis]

Sorry about the flu! DH isn't feeling well today either...

I haven't been able to do much crocheting. I've been busy with church stuff and school stuff. Even though I did have a little extra time this week to start a thread project. I was very thankful for that! I'll post when it's done. Kinda don't want to jinx it by saying too much. I've set myself a rather large goal and I'm not sure if I'll reach it.

 

As Garrison Keillor always says, "Be well, do good work, & keep in touch."

[katyallen815]

Hi, I was a member of this original group way back. Had so much fun and met a dear sweet lady (

dobermama) she is under hospice care and is in her final hours. I ask for prayers for her and her family.

 

​Thanks, Glenda

[pineknott]

I remember you both,will keep Dobermama in my prayrs,only a week late but making the corned beef in the crock pot

busy week coming up,Mon.Tues.Wed.Fri.

[piscescrocheter72]

Good Afternoon to Everyone,

 

Hi Glenda, I remember you too, will keep Dobermama in my prayers

 

have a busy day today to get ready for an early morning appointment tomorrow morning. having a nerve block for a disc in lower back on the right side, had the left side done two weeks ago.

 

I found some new square patterns I want to try out, hopefully I'll have some time to crochet today.

[bgs]

Linda and Rene' good to see you both here and not down with the flu. Linda how do you fix your corn beef? I tend to cook it ahead so it can cool and I can slice it. Then I cook cabbage potatoes and carrots in its broth and add the meat back. We have it with corn bread.

 

 

Glenda its been a long time but I remember both you and Dobermama and will keep her in my prayers.

 

Yesterday was one of those days when we left at 745 am and didnt get back until 10pm. We got some badly n eeded rain. The neighbors dogs have dug around my barricades at the shed so I am going to have to fill in holes again.

[KatieBug]

Hello all! Quick stop in before I figure out what to heat up for dinner. Thinking the left over chili...have to add some peanut butter to mine tho, Mom made it a little hot   

 

I hope all are well or mending and that everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!  s

 pollen counts are high here and pills aren't cutting it

Bgs,we do the meat and potatoes together in the crockpot,and the cabbage seperate,man,he couldn't have found a smaller corned beef if he tried,we barely had three pieces each and that left two small pieces

[Tampa Doll]

Good Morning.

 

So sorry to hear about dobermama.  I remember her well.  I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

 

Miss Jade is growing up so fast and is very, very cute.  Love the smile.

 

I had a lot to catch up on.  I twisted my knee in my sleep the other day and it has been giving me trouble, so I have not been on for a few days.  You girls really have been busy.

 

Get well all you who have the flu and for those who have it in the house, good luck in keeping well.

 

Well, the weather has improved here, as we are into the 80's and the Spring Breakers and Spring Training have great weather.  We are surrounded by the Phillies, Yankees and the BlueJays.  There are 2 more here, but I can never remember who they are.

 

Over the weekend they had a big Greek festival at the Sponge Docks.  That is where the shrimp boats and the sponge boats come in.  They had Greek dancers and everything.  Tarpon Springs is a big Greek Community, where the church is the center of it.

 

Well, I am off to put together another bunny and I am trying to find flat disk around 5mm gold for the belly dancing bunny I am making.

 

Take care and hugs all around.      

[bgs]

Linda I wound up buying 2 corn beef because they were small. Dh loves it and this is the only time of year he gets it. Then I think it often tastes better the second day.

 

We are getting some badly needed rain. I just finished my appointment at the dentist and waiting on dh. It was nice this time to have no problems as the last time I needed a root canal and the time before that I needed a crown.

[Tampa Doll]

Finished Miss Purple.  I added 2 sc's to the ears and stretched them when I stiffened them.

 

I gave this one to my friend instead of the green one.

 

 

My next one is a belly dancer.  

 

 

[pineknott]

wow,your talent knows no bounds,one thing, every item you show is my favorite
