I really did make something!

This is our lovely Kayla and her T-shirt quilt I made her for Christmas! See I really was working on something. It was fun picking out the T-shirts and I hope included some of her favorites. I quilted it all in feathers but it's hard to see in the pic. Isn't Kayla so pretty! She's working hard on her studies in sports medicine and I know she'll do just great!

No one will believe this but there was a DEER in the back neighbors yard! I just ran to get the camera but he ran across the road. There are woods that surround our community but who knew I'd see a deer! I just hope he doesn't jump out in front of one of these 'senior' drivers!
Kalee and I went for our walk already. I'm trying to get at least two in a day with her along with the dog park and her golf cart rides! We sure miss having our Mandy girl here with us. Good thing Kalee keeps me busy as it helps me in missing Mandy.
Today we're headed off to friends for huge gathering and brunch. Marilyn and John have hosted this event for the past several years and it's always a fun time...plus the food is always great. I'm making my stickie buns which are so good and pretty easy to make. Temps are suppose to get up to 78 today but dropping to 60's the rest of the week. No problem for me! My kind of weather and the sun is always shining so Bob can still golf. Which is a good thing!

A Wonderful Christmas!

What a great Christmas Eve with our family! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Most likely my last blog post until we hit Florida next week! Today Bob's daughter and hubby will be here, tomorrow we pack up the car and we head out on Tues. Actually, I'm looking forward to resting these old bones for a few days. Until then enjoy the holiday season!

What a tree!

check out this 'tree'! This is what my brother-in-law (Uncle Dale as he is referred to by my kids!) used as their Christmas tree this year! Dale's wife, Darlene, thought this large branch would make a perfect tree and she was right! Look at the next picture!
Now this is a true "waste not, want not"! How perfect is this tree! I think it's so clever and just beautiful in its own right!

Complex Cloth Club Chrstmas Party

We had one of the smallest turn outs for our annual Christmas Party this year but we still had lots of food, fun and conversation! Back row starting from the left is: Karen, Carol, Mary, Marty; front row left is: Joyce, me and Elsie.

Here's Jocye knitting away even after drinking a margarita! And this is Karen modeling a felted scarf Mary made.
















All in all we had a nice afternoon...well, with the exception of missing the wonderful soup that Mary made!! Seems Mary spilled the soup under her car seat shortly after she left her house!! I don't think any of us will be riding with her in the near future!!!
