February 27, 2012--Last Wash Day in Seguin

I have been busy the last few days finishing a little quilt and crocheting an afghan for our new grand-daughter.  I sure will be glad to met her and have a name to put to her little face.


These are my projects for this past month.  I don't have time to be bored.  I finished the tiger quilt last week and started the baby quilt..  Yesterday afternoon I finished the baby quilt after I bought more green material and then I finished the afghan last night before I went to bed.

Last night I was putting our Sunday-night pizza in the oven and dumped it upside down on the floor.  (Don't tell anyone--I picked it up and threw the toppings back on it and stuck it in the oven!)  Couldn't tell.  Now you will watch me like a hawk when you come to eat at my house!

I also took a new navy top that I had just bought and already had stained the front and added a heart and cut out the spaces between inch grids.  I just couldn't throw it away.

Heard on the news that the strawberries are ready and pickers are welcome to come in the San Antonio area.  Spring is about three weeks ahead of schedule.

I vacuumed this morning and put some potting soil around a house plant I bought at Home Depot.  I was missing my spring flowers.  We then went to do the laundry one last time.  The little laundry mat was economical.  It was only $1 per load for both washing and drying.

Tomorrow morning we will get up and move over to Yoakum, Texas.  Robert and Roberta will meet us Thursday night and we get to attend the David Church concert.  We have row four seats.  YeeHaw!

Please remember my cousin Scott in your prayers.  He has been hospitalized after having a bad case of the flu and his body is having trouble fighting off the germs.  He is on a respirator.

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a l...

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go ...

Day 81; July 17 - Sunday Day of Rest

Image
I just wanted to hang out and enjoy the scenery today.  I was awaken this morning by a Skype call from Jessie and Mary.  Started my day off right.  I had a muffin and cream cheese for breakfast.  Last night Gary came in with two bags of groceries the neighbors had given him.  They were flying back to their home country this morning and didn't have any use for them.  They gave him four old bananas, oil, eggs, juice, salad dressing..... I made a great loaf of banana nut bread.  It was pretty good if I do say so myself.  Driver, Prissy, and I took a short walk while it was cooking. He told me he kept repeating his sad story of all the repairs that he made on his vehicles and put on his oldest clothes so people would feel sorry for him--that man!  He also is really pleased with all the goodies the girls left in the cupboards.  He has enough junk food to get him back in the lower 48.  Ha!  He really enjoyed being spoile...
