Wow, it's been a long time since I posted, I don't think it matters since no one is checking it any way. Hubby has been gone close to 3 weeks and will be gone another. He will come home Aug 1 for a very short weekend and then fly out again. He's going to make a stop in Colorado to do some cleanup at the house and then fly out of there to Detroit. He'll be gone until Sept . Daughter is well on her way to the gulf.
Me I'm working on crafts. I completed an ABC baby blanket , dishcloths for the group I joined. I need to get supplies for the bookmark group I joined and I'm doing a secret project . I am ,also sharing my home with the cat brigade. Oh well, they are company.
Stay cool and stay dry if you are in any of the hurricane areas. Until next time

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.
