On here earlier than normal just sitting doing nothing other than waiting for a cousin to stop by and saw that we haven't been very active on the forum today guess we have all been busy...so thought I'd start the ball rolling and hopfully someone will keep it rolling!

Went to the big family history library today copied off some census's trying to piece together dh's family. Went to the library the other day as well and then yesterday just sat at my computer and looked through what I could find...not easy when you are computer illiterate!

Then last night I went out to doll class........not liking my camel not sure what to do with him so left him alone don't they say something about stepping back and leave it alone if you aren't sure what to do so will deal with him when I go to class on Weds. And started a set of Christmas elves for my mom there are 3 of them cute little guys when finish will finish them this fall I hope. I also have a couple of little fairies started should finish them next week I'm thinking and will make another larger one...I want to make a wreath for my dd who loves fairies so the wreath I make for her has to have fairies on it and I haven't been able to locate them free standing...so says I I'll make them yes! never worked on something that small before not the best face never done a face before but we are all getting older and our teacher is older still and told me I had to do the face yipes! Not sure how long she will keep the shop open that is a disquiting thought. It's cheap theropy

Tonight my dd is coming over suppose to teach her how to make carmels yum!

So now that I've totally bored you can think I have noone else to blame but myself I could have posted!!

You all have a good day

Had a dove earlier and the saying in it was

I spent the day shopping in Baton Rouge with a friend. I don't know who put bricks in my purse but that thing needs wheels. I feel like I walked 10 miles. When I was working and pre Katrina we use to take off for a week end in Baton Rouge or New Orleans several times a year.

I don't like the style of clothes that are out now. They have big flower looking things sewed on some blouses and even purses. Sandals that look like Roman Gladiator shoes seem to be the in thing. And high heels, really high.

No plans for the weekend other than getting ready to leave for the Aransas Pass GTG. Trying to decide whether to take my fishing gear. Maybe I can scale it down some and not take all of it.

Hi there….I probably should re-introduce myself! Just haven’t been in the posting mode…we had a long spell dreary cold rainy weather and it put me in a funk. Not much new around here…work and home. I did spend a couple of days at Missy’s greenhouse playing in the dirt. It always makes me feel good when she calls and reports that all my creations are gone and when am I coming back. I tend to make high end planters that cost the big bucks…why not…I don’t have to pay for them! It was finally sunny yesterday so after work I planted a couple of my pots, vacuumed and de-winterized the camper and filled it with water. Had water coming through all the faucets except the hot water in the kitchen. DH played around with it for awhile and decided that we needed a new kitchen faucet. When I look back it was a little touchy last summer. Then I turned on the refrigerator and held my breath, but the thermometer in the freezer started dropping and was almost to 20* by the time I went to bed. Our 5er is a ’99 and was used as a full-time winter home for nine years so keep expecting it to bite the dust at anytime…did I ever mention that I’m a bit of a pessimist?

Today we have several graduation parties we are suppose to attend. I promised a friend from work that I would go to her house at 1:30 to make platters etc..and just be there in case guest started showing up before they returned. Easy out…and I don’t have to sit through the graduation!

You all have a good day…and those attending the GTG have a great time…pictures!

Oh…Alice…Ruth is looking fine!

Sue that sounded like a neat day...Do you freeze them in the shell? would love to have some fresh clam chowder bet it beats the best home made chowder all to pieces....I fighting the urge to nap not sure who is going to win the eyes or the should do???
