An Oldie.......


.....but, a Goodie!!!

Pulled this little lap quilt out of the Quilt Cabinet yesterday....

thought the colors would be just perfect for summer moving into fall.....


It's an oldie.....i think this was the very first "kit" i bought.....

If i remember correctly it was a new line of 1800 French reproductions...

Anyway....i love the pattern and the colors.....they sort'a "fit- right- in" this time of the year.

Cause.......believe it or not.....we're starting to see a red or gold leaf on the hard woods.....

The Committee.....

Had a few questions on the Committee...............
Yep...they are still a Community Watch......the birds, bunnies, chipmunks, groundhogs, deer and now fawns...........have learned to pay "no" attention to them....
So.....we have lots of barking and very little action in the yard.....

For some reason......in these pictures ...... we have a role reversal......

Mia with a smile and Max with a sad face.......

What gives???......Don't know........need to check this out.........

Miss Kitty......she's about the same.......

Still anti-social...

Have a great day.......Enjoy!!

Got Nothing.......


.....really don't have much of anything to blog about this AM.....

It's another beautiful morning here in the Blue Ridge and i'm gonna spend the day catching-up....you know........the food shopping.....the laundry......the cleaning of the house....etc. etc.

The food shopping should take me a little time.....it's back to reading labels......

That blood work last week showed i'm borderline diabetic......

Knew this was coming......before City Boy had his GBS...we lived with his diabetes for many years and the signs were there.......ugh!!!....Just when i thought i could give up label reading as a hobby!!!

Also....need to lose this 20 pounds i've packed on with all this "Good ..... Mountain Food"......who knew ....Hushpuppies were a food group and should be served at every meal.......??!!


Well....anyway....that's the plan.....

But....i hear the sewing machine calling.....and that fabric i laid out last night......it's screaming...."Cut me in little pieces and sew me back together.......make me into something!!"

Hummmmmmm....big choices here......i'll have to check with the Community Watch Committee!

Enjoy your Sunday......

We're Off.......

......to the airport in Charlotte......

Time for SIL to head back to FL......and after looking at today's temps on the AM TV shows.....she thinks she might want to stay......!!

Can't blame her....who would want to fly back to 97* and 100% humidity...???!!



Have a great Saturday......i'm gonna spend my day riding....up and down......left then right......straight then curves......more up and down with curves......it's 2 hours one-way.....ugh!!
