Sun tea is common thing here; setting the big jar out with water and tea bags and letting the sun heat up the water and make the tea.
Yes, QuiltE, yesterday was scheduled for a fun trip to Des Moines, but bf is back on 'baby watch' with her grandchild due any moment, so she cancelled. I was so tired and did not want to have to drive that far at 6 am yesterday. I often just look at
http://www.equilter.com site and they said 1900 fabrics were on sale so I jumped in there and found the grouchy old ladybug; maybe she can be googled. I want bf's dd to deliver the baby so we can get into the Iowa Hop. Fingers crossed. DD has two teenagers, adopted the three young boys, and has an 18 month boy by a friend 'with privileges' and now is having a daughter by him anytime now. Wants her Mother to ride herd on the household while she is in the hospital. Bf puts family first, and that is OK by me.
