Hoping to See the Back of April...



 Good morning friends...
It has been a few weeks!  Long and short of it, Larry and I have had the flu...I suppose that's what it was.
Several weeks of this garbage... we are SO ready to feel human again.  I think we rounded the corner and are on the way up.  There's no one to cook, clean or shop for us...so we are going out to get some things, much needed.  There's something to say for large families...lol




The yard man put in our flowerbed.  Hopefully it'll start taking off.




Here's the suspicious character that we believe we may have gotten the bug from...lol...I kept her (Who Wouldn't!) even though I thought I shouldn't but...Sam has no one to help out.  They both had to get back to work and Gamma couldn't resist.
Oh well...that's what families do...



Got the quilt top finished and I'm taking it over to the longarmer to finish it up.  





I've got to figure out how to water the front flowerbeds...lolol
Can't disturb her...she's on her nest.



Food Court





Made these before we got sick...but boy, were they good!


Well, I don't feel like creating my usual images for Food Court and saying goodbye, this morning.  Just wanted to hop on here to let you all know what was going on with us.  Hope you come back...lol...it's been a little boring here, to say the least.
Thank You for the visit!!
Hugs
Donna

Easter...Machines and Me


Good morning friends!
Well, it's been a little while since I've posted.  We kept the babies...at our age, it takes strength...lol...and then rest...oh yeah! lol
Then...my new sewing machine conked out on me!  My little Singer that I use for doing the laborious task of piecing really started to act up on me.  Thread getting stuck in the needle hole...not letting me pull the fabric out...over and over so I gave up.  I'm working on a quilt and was getting frustrated at all the wasted stops and starts...cleaning...rethreading needles...yadayadayada...so off to the new quilt store for a replacement!  See it Here if interested.
I get it this Thursday...and yes, I have another machine to work on until it comes in... but I hate having to move all my things...I have dedicated areas for things...oh well, if you sew, you know.
                                                                    


Remember I told you we were having our front yard planted?  We really like how it all turned out.





Maybe in a few months the plants will fill out.



SO true! lol



While keeping the girls, little Lottie decides to practice her walking stance...lolol...won't be long now!




Pork loin...peas & carrots and gravy.  SO good!


Then I made smothered chicken and bow tie noodles.  Yum!


We ate out over the last several weeks, several times.  One was just awful and this BLT was from a country store called Miller's.   It's in the middle of nowhere, but so worth the drive.




Well, I guess that's it for me today.  Going to finish up cleaning out my sewing areas.  
Hope you all enjoyed Easter and are well and safe...and happy!
Until next time...
