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...

Lottie looks ready to roll with the walking thing. so cute. your plants will grow and fill in and be beautiful. all I have in the back yard is dirt and leaves and weeds, the front yard has what we call God's Grass because what ever grows there we did not plant it or water it, we just cut it and I did cut it myself day before yesterday and today did the dirt, leaves and weed in the back
Oooh, the yard looks so nice! Also looks easy to maintain too, which helps our old bones. :) So excited for the new machine! It's so fun to get a new one, isn't it? Now to learn all the options on it....!
Little Lottie is going to be walking any time. Your lawn and planter looks nice. I always love that new layer of sod that goes in. Sorry to hear about your singer breaking down. Thursday will come soon enough, and it will be back to the sewing that you do so wonderfully. The pork loin covered in gravy looks really good. And the smothered chicken looks delicious as well. What a charming picture you created with the lady walking amongst all those pink roses. I wish you a good week, Donna.
The yard looks so beautiful!
Look at Lottie! What a cute picture. She'll be walking before you know it.
Happy Easter!
Oh that sweetie pie of yours !! She is just raring to go for sure.
Sorry about your machine. I do hope you will be back to creating on it asap.
All of your food looks so good. Makes me hungry just looking at it.
Have a great day.

Too bad about your sewing machine. Hope the new one works well for you.
Yum on all the food. You've made me hungry. I love using my air fryer and find more and more things to use it for.
Hi Donna, feels so good to be back to blogging and visiting all you dear friends I have missed. Love everything about your post. What a litle cutie pie...will be running all over in a few weeks. Our newest great just turned 9 mo. They are such a treasure.
Of course, your food court leaves me drooling every time.
I used to be such a seamstress, but now it's sew on a button or less. Someways I miss it, other things have taken up my time. In our little unit, really no place for a machine or area to use it. But I LOVE seeing what you make....You are so talented. Sending hugs.
I love your yard - I know it will fill in and grow. Glad you got another machine. The little ones are sooooooooo cute.
Cute is Lottie. I saw your machine.
I can't believe how much the girls have grown during my absence. Lottie practising her walking stance, that's absolutely amazing. As is your front yard! Very neat indeed. xxx
Those fat cells.
You are really going to be kept busy once Lottie is walking. Enjoy your new sewing machine.
Donna your sewing machine looks like such a good one. I can picture you having many happy hours busily making beautiful things. Your yard looks lovely and I am sure those plants will grow big and spread. Hope you had a lovely Easter with your family and grand babies. Hugs!
Laughing at those fat cells. :) Good luck with your new sewing machine, hope it treats you well. :)
The fat cells made me laugh 😃 Your photos are beautiful and heartwarming and the food looks scrumptious 😋
Your little ones are sure growing. It does require a lot of extra energy as we age to keep the grands..and great grands. I love keeping mine, but I am sure tired when they leave. Wishing you a beautiful Spring day...
Your plantings look greatthey will fill in.
That baby looks ready to take off.
Your food looks great. And eating out is a nice break.

Great to see you back Donna, you’ve been busy and looking after the babies would have been great but yes, needing all your strength :) That’s a cute photo of your sweeties. Sorry about your new sewing machine, how disappointing that is. I am glad your new one is coming soon. Your front yard looks really nice. They did a great job! Thank you for all the funnies, they put a smile on my face. Yum on all your cooking photos. And sometimes those out-of-the-way places is worth the drive. We have a few of those. Thank you for the info on the air-fryer too. I need to use mine more often, hugs, Denise
Your yard looks lovely. Ha about the fat cells;)
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Hugs
You did great work, dear Donna! But it is very much work and responsibility to look after such little grandchildren. The are sweetst, but you are on - I think - the border of your energy. I had my for girls at home for several days, together with their parents ************
May the Lord help us always to be thankful about HIS presents!
Many greetings and blessings from Dori from the Bavarian Forest
Du hast das wunderbar gemacht, liebe Donna! Es ist wirklich viel Arbeit und Verantwortung, sich um so kleine Enkelkinder zu kümmern. Sie sind so süß, aber ich glaube, du bist an deine Grenzen gestoßen. Ich hatte meine vier Mädchen ein paar Tage lang zu Hause, zusammen mit ihren Eltern. ************ Möge der Herr uns helfen, stets dankbar für seine Gaben zu sein! Viele Grüße und Segenswünsche von Dori aus dem Bayerischen Wald.
How frustrating to have your sewing machine act up. Nice that you're getting a replacement.
I like your new landscaping. It looks great!!
Always love seeing pictures of the little girls!
Sorry about your machine! Was it your little featherweight? Little Lottie is ready to go! So cute! Your yard looks wonderful! XO
No, my little cheapy Singer, thank goodness! Lol
Your yard looks WONDERFUL! I'm sure that it will grown into something truly beautiful.
The yard looks lovely!! I know that was a fun time with the girlies there! Rest up now:)
It sure sounds like those grandkids kept you on your toes, but there is nothing like a little rest to get back in the swing of things. I am sorry to hear about your sewing machine acting up, though a trip to the quilt store for a new one is always a nice silver lining. That front yard is looking sharp, and I bet that BLT was worth every mile of the drive!

Hello! Your yard looks beautiful! And how much fun are those precious littles?? I am glad you are back to blogging. Have a cozy Sunday afternoon.
I need/want a new sewing machine. Even though I don't sew like I used to, I still want a new machine!! I went over and took a look at the new one you're getting, it sure is pretty, which means it will make a lot of pretty things!!
Look at those babies! Hugs
How's that new sewing machine working out?
I think your yard/garden looks good.
I think little Lottie will be walking quite soon.
All the best Jan
Lottie is so sweet. Your yard is beautiful. Sorry about your machine.
The planting was worth it, wasn't it? Each plant will fill out over time but even now, it's all very lovely, Donna.
That Lottie! I loved the picture and thank you for sharing it with us.
Your food court pictures never disappoint and always make me hungry. :)
It is hard work to watch the grands (well, great grands in your case!). Your yard looks beautiful and hopefully all those plants will fill out and do well in our Texas climate. The little girls are so cute!
Your yard looks lovely. I imagine the plants will fill out pretty quick for sure. Sorry about your sewing machine..I would cry if mine broke down. I do get attached to things.
Thank you for your sweet and thoughtful card. I emailed you but the email address I have for you no longer works! How is it that Lottie is already trying to walk??? Amazing xoxo
