Happenings...

Life has certainly been flying by here lately.  I'm still wondering how in the world are we already into February already.  ???  So many things happening, it all makes my head spin.

Someone turned 14 since the last post.  Wow!  I still remember bringing her home all those years ago on a frosty, snowy morning and just snuggling with her forever.  I'm so very proud of the sweet, kind, happy 14 year old that she is.  And yes, the cheesecake is purple.  Being a nice Mom and all I had to go with the birthday girls request.


All of this is nearly gone.  Thank goodness.  I love it seriously but when it turned to solid ice and then combined with seriously cold temps, I'm done with it.  See you next year snow.


Before the snow started melting the girls had to get out and make a fort.  It is their one goal when we get enough of it.  They worked their tails off for two afternoons, 5 hours each, just building away.  They finally got it to be as tall as they were, 5ft. at least.  Now it just sits waiting for its demise.


 Summer coolers work swell for building blocks for snow forts.  Just saying.


Now I'm working patiently on quilting the newest quilt that I've been working on sporadicly since the middle of January.  Hopefully this weekend will bring on it's completion.

  4. 14! Has it really been that long? Time surely flies. Please tell sweet Em Happy Birthday for me. Purple cheesecake sounds like a wonderful choice, as I love cheesecake and purple is one of my favorite colors. Tell Em that my new Macbook has a purple shell and purple keyboard cover. heeheehee
