I read pages 391 ta 398 & then realized that I must have missed somethin'. So I started payin' attention ta the dated & had ta go back ta page 386. Argue So I read pages 386-390. So much agoin' on! I just love seein' the MB's. All the flowers are wonderful. The babies are growin' so much! DD's rock is awesome & so are her cute li'le ducks. I'll have ta read from pg 398 later. I'm headed ta bed.

I "think" I have caught up on all the goings on

I did write some notes but now I can't understand what my scribble is

QNS thank you for the stroll through your garden, it is so peaceful to just walk amongst the flowers.

JeanieG I hope you are feeling better and your home insurance is sorted out quickly and you can get back to what you love doing.

Anael, more beautiful photos of our babies, did you do some baking???

Cowboy choc chip cookies and brownies yum yum thank goodness they are only virtual

JanRN, Dublb, Honchey, Oksewglad, DD, GGal, Carriem and last but certainly not least QuiltE I am thinking of all of you.

Tomorrow is a big day for me, not only does DH come home but it is the first game of State of Origin. The football code is Rugby League, its Queensland against New South Wales in the best of 3 games held over 6 weeks. I am a diehard Queensland fan and we have won the last 7 years in a row. Now to make it 8 in a row

Anael...how close do you live to your DS? Those babies are soooo cute. Little Isa has a mischievous yet wise look in her eyes. Full of personality.OK...yes to the damage from critters if any kind in the garden. I found the beginnings of a burrow under the old stump I'm taming. I think I will have to put up some fencing to save my cabbage and peppers.
QNS...how long have you lived where you are now? Your yard has so many mature plants! Thanks for the tour.
Dubib...happy house hunting. Do you have pictures of what you did on retreat?
QuiltE....your Friends link is really busy. I have a saying I want to have embroideried on a block which has been holding me up. I might just have to use liquid pens and get it done.
Mirabelle....take the time you need. We'll sit quietly with you and your cuppa joe and maybe some if Carrie's and OK's cookies in the virtual RV. BTW...I did see a glimpse if it in QNS's garden tour.
I pruned the roses yesterday since they were so heavy they were causing the bushes to sprawl. I also got some mulch to spread but I think I'll wait a day. My hip popped out if socket when I slipped in the soft dirt. It feels okay this morning but another day before I work on uneven, soft ground is in order. I'm loving the special quilt which I'll call WW which stands for Wounded Warrior. I'll put another row on the class project this morning and be able to play this afternoon. Have a good day everyone.

Good morning QNS! Hope you have a great day with no rain...it is clouding up a bit here already even though it isn't supposed to rain until the afternoon.

Great to hear from you Karen. Enjoy your DH and game tomorrow.

Ggal--smart idea to give yourself another day to heal up! Take care of yourself and have fun sewing.

I finished my book last night (2--400pg books in 2 days), so today after a grocery run I will be heading back to the clubhouse. First clean up from the last quilt and then finish prepping the materials for quilting the airplane quilt...need to cut borders, binding, backing and batting into strips.

Just a short message: Isa is going to hospital tomorrow to have the procedure done. I don't know if they do it tomorrow or the day after.

GG, we live about a 15 minutes drive away, so close! Isa showed her personality right from the beginning

Off to a meeting I go!

Hey Ya'll. I thought I'd let yall know about my retreat. Hmmm where ta start. I guess at the beginin'. The first day I drove ta my first friend;s house that is between Bluff Dale & Granburry. (Just south west ' FT Worth. More south than west.) I did stop at 2 LQS's on the way. The Next day Friend #1 & I headed ta Oklahoma City ta pick up friend #2. We were gonna meet at the I Hop that is on the way ta Springfield Missouri. Except for my GPS goin' out, things were agoin' smoothly till we approached Moore OK. The traffic was backed up for 2 hours. They were still cleanin' up from the Tornado & took up several lanes ta do that. We finally got ta the I Hop & ate a very late lunch. Friend #2 drove almost all the rest o' the trip. We used her GPS. At some point between OK City & Springfield there seemed ta be a slight vibration. We thought it was some o' the stuff we packed. It was a bit irritatin'. After we got ta the Hotel friend #3 met us there. I left them at the hotel & DB picked me up. I spent 3 hours at their house. That was fun.
The next mornin' the 4 o' us left Springfield for the longest drive o' the trip (I thought.LOL) It took up 10 hours ta git ta Crestwood Kentucky (just East o' Louisville.) We went through St Louis & passed the Arch & went over the Mississippi! Such neat bridges! Friend #2 did all o' the drivin'. I had a great time at the retreat. Made new friends & stayed up so very late several nights. I was agoin' ta bed when people were gittin' up. I taught a class on my method o' freezer paper PP that took much longer than I had planed. Several people said that they still didn't like PP but felt that they could do it now. Several people said that it helped 'em git started but then would finish the blocks it their own way, & the rest liked it. I used an easy pattern but explained that if they needed it for a very complicated pattern they now knew how.
While there we discovered that Handcocks o' Paducah was closed for Memorial day. We decided not ta go back home that way, but go back ta Springfield. So the 10 hour drive started late in the day Sun. The vibration became a rattle. We gathered everything that could possibly be loose. DH said ta add a fule injector cleaner on the next fill up. Well that didn't help. I still thought that somethin' was loose in the back.
The next day I spent w/DB & his family & the ladies took my truck & went out for a large FART. I had a great time. I got a personal tour o' the City O' Springfield, went ta Bass Pro Shop. Talk about neat! Went ta 2 Thrift shops. Even DB went ta the thrift shops. I also helped DN ta finish the pillow that she has been hand quiltin' for the last 3 years. She had finished the quiltin & needed ta construct the pillow.
When I got back ta the Hotel I found out that the vibration had made the Sequoia become a great big shakin' machine. The next mornin' we took it ta the Dealership & waited 3 houres ta find out that: yes it is under the extended warranty, the part wasn't in but would be there by 10:00am the next day (2 U joints & the drive shaft,all one big part), yes we would git a rental & the hotel would be covered as well. Friend #3 came back inta town & took 2 o' us shoppin' while Friend #1 stayed in the Hotel. The next mornin' we packed up as soon as we knew that the Part was in & the truck would be done be 12:00. Went shoppin again. After a nice lunch we went back ta the dealership only ta find out that the warranty people were draggin' their feet & not wantin' ta pay. It took 3 hours & till they finally paid. My friends & I were gittin' testy w/each other.) I drove the first 2 hours then had friend #2 do the rest o' the drivin' again. I knew that it was gonna rain & I haven't driven in rain in several years & even then only for about 10 min.s from my house. It did rain really hard. We stayed at friend #2's house in, OK City, that night. The next day we drove ta friend #1's DSis's house in Grand Prairie (a Suberb between Dallas & Ft Worth.) That was just a 3 hour drive. #1DSis is another friend o' mine also. We stayed the night there. ( I was tired & wanted ta take it slow.) The next day we drove back ta #1's house & stayed the night. (A 2 hour drive) We heard about the tornadoes in OK City & called friend #2. She was safe. Sigh o' relief! Sat mornin' I got up & drove the 5 hours home. WOW seein' it in print is a bit overwhelmin'.
