Peach Cobbler

My buddy, Karen...gave me this "awesome" recipe for peach cobbler. I finally tried it...and it is soooooooo good!!! THANK YOU KAREN!!!!!! We live in "blueberry country" and I'm anxiously waiting for the season. Can you imagine this recipe with fresh blueberries????

We had a yard sale on Saturday...and did quite well. Managed to get rid of quite abit...but that was only the tip of the iceberg. I'm sure we'll have another sale later in the season...as the clutter has got to GO!!!!

Spent the morning at the hospital with John. He has been having terrible pain in the lower abdomen. He goes in for an ultra-sound on the 17th -- bladder and prostate. In the meantime..he's on some "heavy duty" antibiotics...something the size of a small piece of chalk!!! If the pain doesn't subside, I'm sure we'll be going back in. He never complains, so I need to watch his facial expressions. A typical man!!! (Bless his heart!)

The baby afghan is moving right along. I'll glad when it's done, as I'm certainly getting tired of the color pink!!!

The hockey game is on tonight...better get ready for bed...grab that crochet hook and sit in front of the t.v. Go RED WINGS!!!!

See you soon....

A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood....

It's just an "awesome" day....not a cloud in the sky and the temps are in the 70's. Is this PERFECT or what??? My only complaint is that the black flies are hungry...and I must look like a mighty tasty morsel....they just love me. Nothing alittle bug spray won't take care of...Elliot Lake Cologne as it's well know as!!

John worked at organizing a few more things for the yard sale this morning...his fishing tackle. The urge struck...and he called his buddy to do alittle fishing this afternoon. He didn't go out at all last year, so hopefully he'll have some fun!!

So...with this...I'm going out in my rock garden and pull a few weeds. It's looking pretty good!!!!

Oh by the way...that Moody Blues concert on PBS last night wasn't all that wonderful....from the year 2000....at The Royal Albert Hall. They only sang about 4 songs that I actually recognized.

See ya later......

Moving Right Along....

So tell me...what do you think so far? Not a bad stitch...the crocheted version of the feather and fan stitch!! But...you certainly need to pay attention! Not the best picture, but I think you get the idea!! Cute duck!!!

Certainly have been keeping busy. John made a cover for some unsightly cement we had in the back yard. It's now ready for our sun dial and a planter or two. A much needed improvement. (My Man is so damn handy!!)

Also getting ready for a yard sale this Saturday. We have so much "stuff"....and I've been trying so hard to get rid of the clutter. I took a bag of clothing to one of the thrift stores in town this morning and working on another.

But for the rest of the evening...I'm going to sit and relax. PLUS...there's a Moody Blues concert on PBS tonight and I'm all "fired up" for this one!!

If you have the time...sit, relax and enjoy concert...it certainly will bring back some memories!!!!

Until next time...PEACE!!!

It's Been Awhile....

It's been awhile since I've been here. I went back down to my Mother's for 11 days, while she had surgery to "put her back together" again. She had a colostomy and it was reversible. It's been almost a year since the car accident...and she's finally finished with her surgeries!!!!

"Og the Dog" had his annual physical exam this afternoon....and he passed with flying colors. Hard to believe he'll be 7 years old this July... and he'll then be considered a "senior". He'll always be "my little boy"!!! Isn't he a cute little guy??

While I was gone...the plants in my rock garden really grew! I'm happy with the way it looks so far this year! I moved several plants around last fall...and added several this spring.. Lookin' good!!!! Now...to keep up with the weeding....

Made a hat out of cotton yarn while I was away...and also worked on the baby afghan. Things are moving right along....a month from tomorrow is the baby shower! Better get my butt in gear!!!

Hope to see you tomorrow....

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Well, it's Mother's Day once again. My youngest son called while I was at work. I'm sorry I missed his call....and he went to work just about the time I finished my shift for the day. Regardless...it was nice that he remembered me...he always does. My oldest lad...well, that's another story.

It's been a busy week. I managed to get some major house cleaning done...and John got the trim up in the hallway. Looks SUPER!!!

Made my elderly neighbor, Jeannie, a sachet for Mother's Day....filled with lavender. She does so many nice things for people, I always try to remember her on special occasions. Anyway...it was just a small cross-stitch project! I was pretty pleased with the way it turned out. The picture above is "the work in progress".....and damn, if I didn't forget to take a picture of it when it was done. Oh well...it looks just like the photo on the package, except I used a white ribbon instead of the pink embroidery floss.

More cleaning this week. Trying to get rid of the clutter. My biggest problem is I hate to part with anything once I have it. But...one drawer at a time...and we'll see what happens.

Think I'll go put my feet up for awhile. I'm beat!!!! Hope to see you tomorrow.....

It's FINALLY Sunday....

Well...what do you think??? These are my new clothing labels I ordered...and will use them on my hats and scarfs...or whatever else I make for the craft shows, ebay or for gifts. As soon as I see a sample of the business cards, I might order a few of them as well.

T.G.I.S.---Thank Goodness It's SUNDAY! My week is over with, and now I have what I call "my long week-end"--4 days off!!! I worked a double shift today...and it was well worth my time. We had a party of 40 come in...I just love surprises!!!

My hubby is coming down with the same virus I have. Poor guy! I know just how miserable he is. I'm feeling better each day, but my voice is very "coarse" and throat is "scratchy".

Looks like the next few days are going be a bit warmer and SUNNY! Lords knows I have a bunch of laundry that needs to be done!!! A few good days to hang my clothes outside!!! :) I just love the smell of line-dried clothes!!!

Well...think I'll go downstairs and watch some t.v. I'm going to make it an early evening!!!

Another Saturday...

It's been a week since I've been here....how time flies!!!

This week I've been alittle "under the weather". I came down with a sore throat...head cold...a harsh cough...and just feel like someone kicked the "shit" out of me. Just a nasty virus that has re-surfaced in the area and it decided to pay me a visit. I sure wish it would go and visit someone else...

So...that's been my week. I did manage to crochet a few rows on the baby blanket.... and I even did some reading....a fun book by Erma Bombeck..."A Marriage Made In Heaven or Too Tired For An Affair". If you get a chance...it's worth spending some time with!!

Other than that, I've been "useless" to say the least. Hopefully, I'll have more to share with you in a day or two.

In the meantime...stay healthy!! Talk to you soon...
