But everything is on hold right now until after Roy's birthday party next Saturday.

I have the yard ready, except for a quick mow and edging (yeah, Neil, get that trim done carefully) I have some of the cooking to do, my sil is coming to help with some of it, friends are bringing things, and Neil has the tents and tables and chairs to pick up and set up, but I've arranged help for him.

I ordered balloons for Roy, picked him up a couple pair of comfy pants today, and I have the tablecloths, plastic ware, plates, etc. all done and in the basket. Just need the day to get here. It's going to break my heart not to be sewing much this week, have to fold up the ironing board and put away the fabrics.........but people won't understand unless they love to sew or quilt.

I love y'all, you are my heroes!
