John's New "TOY"

Well, it finally happened.  John bought a new loader/riding lawn mower....etc.  We have a smaller version...a John Deere, of course.  But...it's 40 years old.  Needs a few parts, but runs.  For how long?? Who knows.  John can fix ANYTHING...but it's the cost of the parts that are just "out of this world". 

Yes, I'm glad he got it...as we have some major projects getting ready to start around here, which I will share with you in a few weeks when you can actually see some progress.  AND...are you ready for this??  I got to use it.  Yup, he gave me a lesson and I got to cut the back yard.  This "bad boy" runs like a dream and can cut the lawn in half the time.  BONUS!! 

I've been fighting with my sewing machine and I'm ready to toss it out the window.  But, following suggestions from the owner of a local sewing center...I MIGHT just have the problem figured out.  I'm taking my samples to her this afternoon...and her opinion will be the deciding factor if I get a new machine or not.  Will keep you updated!!! 

Rain has stopped...sunshine heading our way!! 

See you soon!!

My Youngest!!

Meet Jeremy...my youngest son...and his two daughters, Averi and Allie.  All dressed up for the Daddy-Daughter Dance 2018.

I spent over a week in Michigan.  Jer and his bride, Natasha, went to Las Vegas and I got to babysit.  I just love going there.  And I love coming home.  This time, it was hard...I miss them all so much. 

It's difficult to explain...I love my home, my wonderful husband, my dog...etc...but I just want to go back and spend another week.  Make sense? 

I also spent a few days visiting my Dad.  Stayed at the condo...as he is in an assisted living home.  The condo will be going up "for sale" in the very near future...a sad time.  I just wanted to sit there, alone, and watch t.v., crochet and feel my Mother's presence.  Didn't work out that way.  Hopefully, I'll get that opportunity in the near future...I'm so hoping for that!!! 

Enough!!!!  Tonight, we are going out to dinner with my dear friend, Janet and her husband, Todd.  Not sure exactly where we are going, but I'm sure it will be a great time. 

So, that's my news...nothing spectacular.  I guess I'm just venting to get out of my "funk". 

Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon!!  

The "Gangsta"

Hi Again!! 

Just stopping by for a minute...by-passing the months of  February and March.  Actually, February was a good month.  I think I told you we went to Florida for the entire month!!  And we booked the same place for next year...it was wonderful!!

Now we'll stop by the first part of April.  We have a new addition to our family.  Meet FRANKIE...the Gangsta...the Monster...Frankenstein....born October 1st, 2018.  Every inch of this little man is pure love!!!  Of course, he has his moments...but then who doesn't.  

A gloomy day...but looks as though we have just about 10 days of sunshine headed our way.  I'm looking forward to getting in the garden. 

Have been spending a good part of the day listing patterns in my ebay store.  Things have been quiet for the most part..hopefully, things take a turn for the better soon. 

Have a wonderful Friday!!  It's the week-end!!!!!  :)
