What a week

Last Tues to this Tues . Not the best. I got a call Tues A.M. that my mother was dying. Before we could head out to Fallon Nevada ,we got the call that she had passed. My sister was able to give her her last wish and she passed in her own bed. While gone hubby got the call taht he si expected in Detroit Mom afternoon. We don't know if this is the long term trip. The job requires 3 weeks at a time through Sept,though he may not come back because we are paying for it all until the first pay comes in. Tomorrow ,only daughter head out to meet her ship, the Ronald Reagan in Guam. She'll be gone until Thanks giving time. No 3 son called to say they had had a high wind storm in Omaha. None of his inlaws or he hurt ,but they were without power for 12 hours. Me , I'm here with a house full of cats, triple digit temps and my crafts. Right now I am tired beyond belief . Can you blame me.

Wow , It worked . maybe there is hope for me yet. It's going to be a scorcher here today. If it's the same for you ,I hope you'll remember to drink plenty of water. It's a Mom thing

Talked to daughter about how to post an active web site. I'm going to try . A great warm weather project is dishcloths and you can never have too many . They are great for gifts too. Here's a site I found dishandwashcloth mania .We'll see if it works for you.

It is once again very hot. I am amazed to hear that on the east coast in upstate New York that they are having abnormaly cool weather for this time of year. I have been talking to an aunt about it. The trout counted cross stitch is done . I am ,also ,almost done with my first string bag. I have decided to work on going green. I don't know if the stores will cooperate or not. I'm hoping so. I am using the pattern on the Lily site http:/www.sugarncream.com/pattern.php
Sorry I don't remember how daughter said you can make the site so you can click on it. Still learning part of the process. .I guess I'll get there . That and learning how to add pictures. I have a long way to go.

Father's Day

We had a nice day . It was hot and we did the yards . Youngest son (29) made chicken tacos and I made brownies for dessert. I'm about finished with a trout counted cross stitch and am going to start a dishcloth. I just joined a monthly dishcloth group. There are some fantastic patterns that I want to try. Nothing much happening as it's another hot day. Stay cool and hydrated everyone.

Morning all, or I guess I should say anyone that checks in on me. Hubby is gone and I'm here with the kitty family ,doing house things,You know like the bathrooms , and vacuuming and all those fun things . Got some recipes to file . You can never have too many of those or crafty things even if you never get to them. I am ahead of the game though, because I have already put together a new pasta salad recipe with chicken so I will just need to pull it out of the fridge and dish it up for dinner.
I know a lot of you are working, since I'm old and retired I get to do the other kind of work. For all you youngsters out there. There is plenty of work even after retirement.
Have a good day all.


Mom Nancy

Morning, We now have daughter Heather's kitties. Lily the little one is terrorizing everyone. Hi Jenn, nice to meet you. I don't know if you will read other comment so I wanted to say hi here. I have put down the counted cross stitch cars . I zigged when I sould have zagged. I am a few stitches off somewhere so I have to make some adjustments. I am not in th mood to do so right now. I have started another picture until the brain kicks in. I'm looking at picking up yarn for other projects to work on if Hubby finally makes this trip that has been proposed. Maybe even some mesh bags for shopping if I can decide how many. Would love to hear about some other projects you might have.

Evening, Well the paper work continues to get Hubby going on the small business and we hope the new assignment. There is a lot of frustration and as we have found out money involved with getting things going. He says we are much better equiped to handle it all now than we would have been when we were younger. My answer,yeah right. Daughter's kitties are headed our way as she prepares to head to the gulf. This is her second time. She has been land based for a while.She was there at the beginning. Oh how I wish we would see some relsolution in the near future,but I don't think so .I just want our young people to come home. Many have gone back way too many times,but this is a job that they chose. We must be proud of them and support them irregardless of what we feel about the war. Hope everyone has a good weekend if I don't get back
