It’s Chilly Out There !!!

   Good Morning!

      I got a cute e-mail from my son this morning. It is so cute I just have to share it with you.

      “ The First Day Of Deer Hunting “

Check List Complete;

I scouted the area all summer . . . . .
I searched out the best location for my tree-stand . . . . .
I set it all up a month ahead of time . . . . .
I trailed the herd . . . . .
I picked out a trophy buck . . . . .
Two days before opening day I rechecked every aspect of the hunt . . . .
Everything was in place . . . . .
Sunday morning, I woke up at 2 am . . . . .
I put on my camo, loaded my pack, set out for my stand . . . . .
This was destined to be an epic hunt . . . . .
As I approached my deer stand . . . . .
. . . . . I changed my mind; decided to go to church instead.

   I have to get to the Grocery Store, Library & then get Laundry done. So I better get going.

Bond, James Bond !

    I got to sit in the car that Sean Connery drove in his Bond Movies !

Before I forget to mention it, this is at Cincinnati Music Hall. This car is on the stage. 7 million dollar car !

It’s an Astin Martin. Silver in color ! ( Just like my Ford)

When I got in the car, I could tell it was well used and on the vintage side. The leather had some wear on it. I should have gotten a picture of the inside. Look at the license plate. I think it’s sharp.

Good Morning !

 Good Morning To All !

      I'm halfway done with my Winter Elegance Quilt... But now I am stumped about what color to make the backing. I do know I want to make it soild or just 2 colors that also co ordinate with the top. ( the colors in it are Red, Black, Dark Green, White with tiny touches of Cream & Baby Blue)  I'd love to hear your ideas on this. :-)

                                                          

   The weather man says today & tomorrow should be close to 70 degrees! But Monday we get a Thunderstorm and then the cold weather moves in again. That means more cooking & baking without heating up the house!

                                                               
   Hubby & Son are out playing golf.  I know next to nothing about that game.  So I'll be home listening to a Book on C.D. while typing. The book I'm listening to is titled " Until We Reach Home " by Lynn Austin . I love the story. It's about 3 sisters who move from Sweden to America in 1890"s... So far they are on Ellis Island. ... while they are there, they seem to be learning more & more about each other.

   That's about it for now... Enjoy the weekend !

Quilting Away…

     … As evening wears on I realize something. “ Our phone hasn’t been ringing off of the hook! " … Nice & Quiet. I got to quilt without getting up every 15 minutes to answer the phone.

      No big plans for tomorrow. Just cleaning  my work area AKA The dining Room.

      The news show I watch will be on in a few minutes. So I better go.

I Could, But I Won't...

Hi!

   I could Rant & Rave about how terrible the election went. But I won't.  At least we won'r be getting political ads in ther mail, robo calls and mean political ads on T.V. :-)

   I caught Sissy checking my squares for the quilt I'm working on.

   She's my shadow :-)

Right now she is sleeping in my lap. Almost bedtime for me also. So I better get going.

Voting Tomorrow & Silent Auction

Good Evening!

   Tomorrow is Election Day! After tomorrow we won't be hearing about who to vote for every on single commercial break.  :-)

   Our son came home from work and said they are having a Silent Auction for charity.  He asked me I would make an afghan for the auction. I asked when it would need it. He said Wednesday.. Um yeah. My hook doesn't fly THAT fast. So I gave him my latest one. I can always make another one.

Not Yet You Turkey ;-) Recipe Question ...

I saw this and HAD to share it...

   As I sit here typing, I'm listening to Marlyn Harris on the radio talking about cooking for Thanksgiving.  I like to stick with one recipe I ALWAYS use every year and one new one.  It seems safe that way. ;-)

   What do you fix every year that everyone just loves ? Besides the turkey .  We always fix Oyster Dressing.
