I love to sew

Last week I had a great time just staying home and sewing. I had forgotten how much I really enjoyed it. I finished the draperies for our bedroom and bath and helped Kacey with make pajamas for the boys. This week, I hope to do some more stuff after I winterize the property a bit. I think everyone needs something for an escape. I always had sewing for just that purpose. I have two more grandbabies on the way so I better get the living room curtains done before I start with the stuff for them.

This Guy is for the Birds

About the only thing that is growing the way it should in my garden is the pumpkins and melons. I'm finally getting tomatoes but it will probably freeze before they start producing alot(or not at all). There is one problem---the birds are coming in the garden and pecking at them. So- Kacey and the boys came out yesterday after Mason got out of school and we made Jack. The boys had a great time and so did their grandma. I love it when my grandkids come out and do projects together. Those times are getting fewer and farther between because they are getting bigger and busier with their own outside activities. I will continue to cherish each and every moment and be thankful to have them when I can.

the Party Crashers

This weekend was a "Blast from the Past". My best friend from high school, Deb Snow, and I decided to crash the reunion of the class of 1968 (we were from the class of '69'). It was a lot of fun. We saw a lot of the friends that we hung out with. Man, there were a lot of old people there. It's so amazing how we change and for the most part our priorities are more grounded. Oh--there are still those that think that success is measured by their toys and then there are those that are humble and truly love their families and the everyday experiences that have brought them to this point.

We had a ball. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The early reunions are for show and the later ones are to meet the real people. It is always great to get with Deb. It always seems like no time has passed since the last time I saw her.

After the reunion, I spent the rest of the weekend till Sunday with siblings and some of there kids and then spent Sunday and Monday with Sarah, Lain and the kids before coming home today. I had a great time.

But----I am ready for a nap!!! GOOD NIGHT!

p.s. there are no pictures. Remember--I'm old.

What have I started???

WELL>>>> December 9, 1972: Met this guy on a blind date. I had a terrible time but I thought the guy was cute and my mom thought he was a "looker". January 13, 1973: Married the guy in my oldest brother's living room by the bishop of our new ward. I was scared to death. After having two of the cutest baby girls in the world, I couldn't bear the thought of not having them in the eternities. We were sealed for Time and Eternity in the St. George, Utah temple on August 26, 1976. Two more georgeous daughters followed. We had no sons but we have made up for that with seven grandsons and three granddaughters. We raised our family in Las Vegas and in 2002 moved to New Harmony, UT where we now reside. It's a great place for our four daughters to bring the ten grandkids to play and have a little taste of what farm life and the country might be like. I hope you all enjoy sharing in my little piece of heaven. OH, by the way, the guy's name is Harley.
