It's gonna be another "Nap till you Snap" day here in the Blue Ridge..........

More rain, wind and cold.............................ugh!

I love the snow..............but, tomorrow i have to drive, with the parental unis, to the airport and pick up my baby brother.........just what i need........another south Floridian telling me how to drive on snow and ice...........more ugh and a yikes...........!!!

Maybe , I'll join Max and just nap..................another male child picture.......thanx, kid!

Enjoy your weekend...........................................

Dismal....................

In my little corner of the world today...it can be summed up in one word......Dismal!!

It's cold.......windy..........rainy........and dark outside...........

So decided to post three more of the male child's pictures....taken on a bright sunny day.......

Enjoy your Friday and stay safe, warm and dry out there...................................

Thankful Thursday.........

I won!.....I won!!.....and yesterday it came in the mail...............!!

Jodi over at http://LifeonTwoAcres.blogspot.com had a give away and i won this delightful little book...entitled Still Life with Chickens by Catherine Goldhammer......it's a memoir about a woman starting her life over in a new town, with a 12 years old daughter and six chicks in a bathtub......................can't wait to read it!!

How does this correspond with "Thankful Thursday"......well it made me ponder my own journey in starting a new life, here in the NC mountains and how it's just not the same as those many, many weeks we spent here on...."Vacation"......on vacation we experiecned the "mountain life style" in small doses and felt that this layed-back way of living was just hunkey-dorey.......we couldn't wait to leave the chaos of south Fl behind and become a part of the brethren.........

And now........i must say........"We're glad we did it!!!!!"

We're thankful that the male child and the parental units have decided to join us on this journey..................this is where the Lord wants us to be at this time................

We're thankful that this move has allowed us to remain finanically.........OK........things are tight for each of us......but together as a family we're strong........

We're thankful that the male child has received grants that has allowed him to return to college without the burden of a part-time job...........

We're thankful that City Boy and i, have part-time jobs that were not cut due to this crunch in the economy........................

And ....i'm thankful that Hollie over at http://LifeinaSmallTown.blogspot.com has given me the new award on the sidebar......it's in Spanish .....what does it say?........

You'd think growing up in south Fl.......i would know what it says!!.........i do......tell you later!!

Be thankful for your smallest blessing....stay dry out there today................

Left Out.......

This is the face i had to deal with yesterday....after Miss Kitty, the "Googleing Kat" read my blog........as she told me ...."in my old age .....I forgot to list the most important member of the Quality Control Committee"....swished her tail and stalked away!

Well.........Miss Kitty is a valuable member of the QC Committee......she tests for warmth and snug-ability......but, she works for tuna.....name brand...not the cheap stuff!!

Sorry....Kitty..........and O Yeah....................

Cats Rule

Dogs drool........

Are you happy now?!........Mommy really does love you..............

Color.................

Color........I love color!!!!!

And Boy!! ....was i surprised when these 20 fat quarters fell into my lap from an unopened box....I was unpacking one of those boxes that you set aside for later......i was looking for fat quarters to make a Turn Twenty quilt top......quick and easy......
I had never worked with large batik pieces before and found it to be quite a challenge.....i'm not sure if i care for the difference in fabric textures.....but, i do LOVE the colors.......

Anyway......it went together easily and it's a keeper!!......i'm gonn'a take it to the "long-arm Lady" over in the next holler (valley) and have her quilt it for me........

Quality Control Committee...checking it out......!!! They are so great to me........they do this inspection for kibble!!!!

Do you have a QC committee at your house?

3M pixs.....................

In viewing the pictures from the male child.....i noticed that over half were pix of the 3M's.......Mia, Max and Miss Kitty..........so here they are at their best!!

I'm sleeping here...........................

Me.......too!

Me.........three!!

Hello....little bug!!!


Hole?!.....what hole?!.....Max..do see a hole!!??

Smile ........ the sun is shinning!!

Have a super Monday!!

A Few More........

Decided to publish a few more of the male child's pictures........and... Yes, these are them......this is also what it looks like out the front door this morning.............Woke-up to snow....................the weather gurus say....."it will be light and clear by mid-day"

Hummmmmmmm.....they've been wrong before...........................

Have a safe and warm day.........Enjoy your Sunday!
