Laquita - I'm sure being all alone during surgery and recover is scary. Just remember I'm positive that all of us will be praying for you and thinking about you all day. Sending good vibes your way.
DH and I are taking a 4 day weekend beginning tomorrow, since it's his birthday tomorrow. It's 9 PM and I haven't even started to pack - and I'm pretty slow at it. Change my mind ALOT. Anyway, going to Roseville, Rocklin, Grass Valley, Auburn, Folsom, Sonora, Murphys, Jamestown - hiking, gambling, antiquing and whoa, my vehicle brakes for quilt shops and thrift stores!!! Should be fun, and a welcome respite from the drama at work lately. Still, Laquita, I will be thinking of you as we cruise in our car.
Am taking my computer, but not sure if I'll have time to get on here much. Hope my TX SP likes the package. It should be there tomorrow. If you are one of those lying on the driveway, you can get up soon.
Cheers all. And K - leave TX alone tomorrow. Go to Alaska instead.

I got a purple pincushion, a black little ring pincushion with a red rose on it, little pink rose buttons, some gold buttons, some purple heart buttons, some purple embroidery floss, some purple fat quarters, a purple brush/mirror compact, a seven sisters pattern with template, some musical instrument fabric, a musical instrument potholder, a crocheted wash cloth, a mini picture frame, a glue stick, a little 4 patch key chain, a nail care set, a seam ripper, a magazine, and REEESSESSSSSSS. Kitties thought the pincushion and glue-stick was for them but I told them the crumpled paper and plastic bag where, since they love playing with that stuff normally.. so they pouted just out of frame of the pic.. can you see their little feeties? Nosey buggers.

Hi segasal, remember I told you my DH is blind? Well, have learned a lot from him, since his vision became gradually worse these last 10 yrs. he Dosent drive, but still works part time, at an assembly for drug testing strips! He was on Minneapolis BLind bowling league for 1 1/2 yrs. Met lots of great people there who we still keep in touch. Learned a lot about guide dogs. He has perferial vision, Dosent use a cane or guide dog, but jokes always and says I am his Guide dog! Good luck with your newguide dog!
I did get a little hint of from my SP....she PM lori and asked if I needed a bigger picture and larger writing due to my blindness... I felt so touched at that thought. Thanks for asking SP...oh so all of you know.. I start training with Meadow my new guide dog on October 1st!!!!

I am really enjoying all the chatter about packages arriving as i sit here and nibble on my Swizzlers, and read the instructions on my new patter for a quilt! I have decided to try the "Having a Bad Hare Day" quilt. Thanks again Verna, I just love my package!
We went shopping "down the hill" today and my husband asked me if I enjoyed shopping for my secret pal more than shopping for Groceries, "Well Duh" hehe....
Watch out ladies he is seriously thinking about getting a secret pal next month! I taught him how to quilt, now he has a sewing machine in his office, my Surger in the living room and he took my favorite cutting board and templates! so take advice ladies don't teach him, he might just spend more money at the LQS then you, and he does not like to share!

segasal, that was a thoughtful offer your SP had. My friend trained golden guide dogs. Wonderful loving animals. And to the post "too much lobster and seafood".. argh, let me help you out with that! Last time I had too much lobster was...never. Ok cant eat two lbs of it at one sitting but could come up with fifty ways to eat it this week. You bring the sea food and I will make the steak for you.. anyone else want to come? who bakes? we need dessert with this absolutely.. oh and a salad, who is bringing that? btw didnt know you could get gout from lobster.. is it from the lobster? yikes. Inlaws from Wells ME. Lovely lovely state you have there.

Sharon - I am so happy you liked what I sent. It was so much fun putting the package together for you. I think it is just as much fun as it is waiting to receive one. This was my first secret swap and I am already looking forward to next months! Remember to fill up Mr. Peach's album and show us what you've done! Now I will sit and continue to wait for my package to arrive. Good thing I work full time cuz I would be laying in front of my mailbox like that picture recently posted....lol... However, I am guilty of calling my son at home and asking "Did I get a package in the mail?? No are you sure???" My DH thinks I am crazy but that's ok I kinda like it like that...hahaha Oh and I am clueless as too who my SP is...hmmmmm who could it be?? where can it be coming from??? tick tock tick tock tick tock

Here is my great pkg from Knitette (Eileen)who lives in Scotland! She sent a great letter full of info about her town and herself. Some brochures and a postcard about Aberdeen. A great little Scottish cookbook, can't wait to try it!Some scrapbook embellishments, pretty purple flower fabric, Royal Plaid kleenex, tartan ribbon, a coaster and last but not least some mini "Lucky Tatties" candy (Scottish slang for potatoes.)Remember I said great things come in small pkgs. So great that she got my name as my DH and I have always wanted to visit Scotland always been a dream of mine! Thank you again Eileen I loved it all!
