Creativity abounds, I only need to know where to find it.Ms MoomMisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10122787724968838631noreply@blogger.comBlogger188125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797452888463878150.post-76993665172781351932016-08-06T12:14:00.001-04:002016-08-06T12:14:49.676-04:00<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well, Thursday numbered week #10 waiting for new patio doors - 4 pairs - not cheap. Seems the Funk's luck has struck again. I'm not too sure it is our bad luck or the contractors' bad luck.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">It seemed to have started back in 2001 when we contracted to have a new 2 story 24' x 24' garage built. We were given some cock & bull story about it could only be so high. So our 2 full stories turned into 2 stories only 6 ft. ceilings, only because the contractor was too lazy to advise us that we could probably get a variance. (my fault really! As a former Realtor® I should have known that) Anyway, that seemed to start it. He also put a so-called rubber roof on the kitchen which flopped and noisily interrupted every conversation we had in the kitchen because it wasn't properly secured. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">When we called him to come and fix it, he told me that we could fix it ourselves because my husband had lots of old tires and that we should throw them up there to keep it from flapping. In 2006, we went on a trip to see my sister & brother in California and every time we saw a mobile home in the desert with tires on the roof, we would laugh and say, "There is another quality construction job by Epperson."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then, in 2004 it was time to put new windows in the kitchen. The old ones were over 50 years old and not well insulated and leaked a lot of air. So we find this contractor to 1. put in 2 new windows @ $450.00 each and to re-do the kitchen roof that was screwed up by Epperson. The roof was done in a week, thank goodness. but when September turned into November and no word about the windows which were already paid for, the contractor could not be found... No phone calls returned, no listing with the BBB. He had vanished. Come January, 2006, a very thin (skinny) man shows up at the door saying he is there to put in the kitchen windows.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seems the contractor's wife was diagnosed with cancer, so he simply quit his business and left all his jobs with a couple of winos to finish when they got around to. "He always finishes his jobs." one of them said.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well, in 2006, I am so sick with at the time had no idea, later to find out that I had cancer (scary yes I agree), so I was just happy that the windows were being replaced. But what happened? They used this ugly 2 x 6 as a window sill filled with hammer dents and gouges that even I could not have messed up and no paint. I have to supply the paint. I was just so glad to get the windows and them out of my house, (again, my fault) I said nothing.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">Okay, we are good, right? Well, not so fast. 2010 comes and we are thinking about getting new siding for the house (the house is pink and the paint is peeling and something needs to be done.) The first estimate - $60,000 ( 1 1/2 Cape Cod building 36' x 24' not a huge building). No thank you, of course, we have to put a new roof on before he will do the siding. Thank you but, no thank you! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">So we opt for just putting on a new roof which we know is bad. We have to now, of course, refinance in order to pay $17,000 to have the house and the garage, plus another rubber roof (#3) on the kitchen. Now, this is what gets me thinking. Within less than a month, a very reputable contractor is in the news about fraud and guess who it is? Yes, the ones who replaced our roof! So there is no more workmanship warranty to be had, but the roof job was a very good job!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">But, back to the 10 weeks waiting for 4 sets of patio doors. June 2, 2016, Mr. Dave and I get together (his inheritance) enough to replace the bad glass in 4 large patio doors on the back sunroom.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">The gentleman who was the foreman of the roofing job shows up at our door about 8 months after the contractor went out of business to let us know that he was starting his own business and that if we needed any work done to please give him a called. Now, as I said, we were pleased with the roofing job, so we had no problem with Miles. We sign the contract for 4 new patio doors and to replace the siding in the back in 6 to 8 weeks. Reasonable? Yes and No!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">Miles tells us that he will be sending out his guy the next day to remeasure the doors so that they can order the proper ones and get it going. Friday, we stay home all day and wait, and wait and wait. Around 8 o'clock in the evening, Miles' wife calls and says she is sorry that nobody got out but they will call when he will be over. Now, fast forward week #8 - 8 o'clock in the morning another strange man is ringing my doorbell. "I'm here to remeasure the doors."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">When he gets done, we are told that the doors haven't even been ordered and it is going to take another 3 to 4 weeks, because Miles has been skimming or something and has been replaced by his wife and her father to run the business and Scott is the foreman now in charge.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">...to be continued</span></span><br />

I spent absolutely no time here last year or this year. It has been crazy and boring. So, I just went about with my reality life and left this one hanging.<br />
October, 2, 2014, my sister passed and I'm just not my old self. It is funny or may guilt, I'm not too sure but after all the years of absences, I know I'm missing her terribly. More like a mother than an older sister, Ilene always was there. She passed the day after our Mother's birthday, so there will be no way I will ever get pass those 2 days without much grief.<br />
<br />
Ilene was 8 years old than me and many times she took care of my younger brother and myself when Mother was ill or needed a well-deserved break. I was her maid of honor at her wedding in 1959. I was just the legal age and don't even know if I had a new dress or anything because it was just me, my older brother, my sister and her future husband. They were married until he passed in 2008. They had 5 girls and wow, 8 grandkids and lost count on great grandchildren and several great-great grandchild, who was just 6 - 8 months old (Jasmine).<br />
<br />
This leaves our family of 8 down to just 3 of us. My older sister, Alice & her husband were here for a visit in June. Alice is 83 & Ray is 86. They still travel around and enjoy their children. So nice. My younger brother was planning on coming last year, but didn't because his daughter moved out of state. We haven't seen Max since 2010, so I guess it is time for a trip to Florida.<br />
<br />
Well, I've caught up a bit so until next time.<br />

Really! I feel kind of sad that I didn't because Christmas turned out to be one of the nicest I've had in a very long time.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Winter has been long and hard only because of the freezing temperature. Today, the last day of February and it was 9 degrees below zero this morning. I normally do not go outdoors when it is that cold because the oxygen tube feels like there are ice cubes been shoveled up my nose and down my throat, but today I did. Mr. D had a doctor's appointment early and when he got home we took a trip to West County to get some meat for the freezer. On our way home we stopped at a flooring store to look at flooring for the sun room. We had talked about getting wood, but the girl only showed us vinyl that looks like wood and very expensive too.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We have a floating vinyl flooring in the kitchen and dining room and I'm not really happy with it. Once there is a mark, such as a burn or scratch, forget it you cannot fix it. We haven't discussed it yet, but I'm thinking no way. There is less expensive wood tongue and groove flooring out there that is less expensive for that little 9 X 22 sun room and I intend to find it.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">OK now, that is about all. It is time to make dinner so Pepper Cheeseburgers are on the menu so I'm off to the kitchen.</span>Ms MoomMisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10122787724968838631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797452888463878150.post-25199635429600140192013-12-20T09:33:00.001-05:002016-09-20T07:07:57.609-04:00Nine Days of Christmas - Day 6<h2 style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Who doesn't love beautiful music? Have you actually listened to the Christmas Carols? They have to be some of the most beautiful music in the whole world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Every year the chorus at the school would walk around on a cold winter night singing at homes in our town. After the caroling and then we would end up back at the gym for hot chocolate to warm our toes only to go back out and get all cold again. Too funny now that I think about it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">On this one particular year that I recall was the best of time when I was in high school I talked them all into walking all the way out to my home to sing for my mom. We all walked and walked to the edge of town. My Mother had never had anyone ever sing in front of her house and I remember the bright lights in her eyes as we stood there singing the most beautiful words to music that is still ringing around the world today.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Hard pressed for money to buy a Christmas tree a year after our Father's death left 5 kids under the age of 18, pretty darn sad to say the least. Mama gently, well as gently as she could, told us that it was just one of those things that we wouldn't be having this year. And in some terms it was sad but in other terms, we just accepted it as the nature of things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">As Christmas Eve drew close the reality really sank in and as we ate our dinner of Mama's favorite, oyster stew, it seemed awful quiet around the table. When a knock at the door surprised everyone. The house was only one on the street so if a car drove in the driveway, most anyone would hear it or at least see the headlights. This evening, however, it was a surprised.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">When Mama opened the door a loud Ho Ho was heard throughout the house. There stood if you remember "Lawrence", well it wasn't him, but one of his brothers who not only was the Chief of Police but also an active member of the Kiwanis Club.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">There they were 2 guys with rosy cheeks from the cold standing at the door with a small "Charley Brown" tree and an armload of packages for the little ones who were my young brother and me. We were overjoyed and very grateful when Leonard said, "We met Santa down the street and he asked us to deliver these to your house. The Spirit of Christmas came to our house one cold snowy Christmas day in the early 50's to a little house in North Dakota.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Merry Christmas!</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Ever tried to learn how to ice skate on hockey skates that were 2 sizes too big? Well, that is what we did as kids. Our town would flood a vacant lot with water every year and add a little shack for all the kids to use free.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">The skating rink was across the on the same street as the park and the swimming pool. The pool had an admission charge, but the park and ice skating rink were free to all. But for a dime, you could rent a pair of skates for the day or evening. The only drawback was that the only skates for rent were black hockey skates.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">If you were fortunate to have a bit more money, some girls would get figure skates for Christmas, but those who couldn't afford them would rent the skates from "Lawrence"!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Now, everyone knew everyone, and everyone knew "Lawrence". "Lawrence" was the brother of the local police chief and as it was, he was married to our cousin and with 5 kids and our 6 everyone knew everyone or someone who knew everyone. And as I look back, Lawrence, his brother, </span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">and his family did more for our town then most of the wealthy folks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Ice skating and having an extra dime for hot chocolate after a session of crisp North Dakota winter air was a highlight of our Christmas season. I never really learned how to ice skate on those black men's hockey skates, but then I only got to go skating maybe once a year. But, when I was a senior in high school my sister-in-law gave me her figure skates and for a brief moment, I aspired to be a world champion.</span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Baking Mama's Christmas Coffee Cakes was one of the biggest baking days of the year next to Easter. Everyone, except the big boys, had to help. There were apples to peel, pineapple filling to make and the ingredients gathered for the '</span><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Streuseltrosoll' topping, not to be confused with strudel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Mama's coffee cakes were liken unto no other that I've ever had, even to this day! They were a sweet egg bread dough stretched into pie pans and small cake pans then the toppings were put on them and baked to a delicious golden brown "to die for". There wasn't one kid in the house would or could wait quietly until Christmas morning to have a piece or maybe even 2 if you were lucky.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Mama always made the dough, we got to stretch it out into the pans and I got to make the topping of flour, sugar, cinnamon and butter. I got to put my hands into the big crock bowl and feel the flour and sugar combination between my fingers, ah, no rubber gloves in those days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Perhaps, the best was the pineapple/cottage cheese which was a sweet mixture of rare ingredients for a family in North Dakota. I can, if I close my eyes, smell the aroma coming from the oven.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Choir Robes! Oh, those choir robes. It seems to be a struggle every year to get those little things together. For the first 3 years of school, all the students had to have choir robes for the annual Christmas Concert that was held at the school gym about the last Friday before Christmas vacation started. As I'm trying to remember it was grades 1 through 3 that wore the cute little white robes.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">I finally figured out why every year it was a struggle to get them. A simple explanation was that they were made out of white dish towels. The old- fashioned flour sack dish towels so when the program was over, they were recycled back into the kitchen even with the head hole. I remember my big sister, Ilene, rushing around on the last day to make sure that I had one that was as bright white as she could find and even one year both my younger brother and I both had to have one and of course, I panicked because I was sure I would be the one who didn't have one.</span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">But, alas, she always came through and they were always bright white and whether or not we did or didn't sound like angels, our rosy cheeks and all the celebrate made us BELIEVE!</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Perhaps the very first remembrance of Christmas that I have was about the age of 4 or 5. I know that I hadn't started the school year. We always waited for snow for Christmas even though living in North Dakota that wasn't the thing you would particularly like back in the late 40's, early 50's, but Christmas was special and nobody mind having snow at least for that day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">This year was very special for me because it is the only year I remember with my Father. My Father was a tall lanky guy with 6 children of school age and I remember he always had a cough and looked like he was cold and busy. There were chores to be done, jobs to do and besides working for somebody else, he kept a small farm with cows, horses, chicken, ducks, and geese. We always had homegrown canned goods and dairy products. Our 2 bedroom house was always warm when Dad was alive even if we had to pick 'cow pies' to burn in the pot belly stove. The boys had a room, and the girls slept on the sofa. My younger brother had a crib and I slept with my Dad and Mom. How we ended up in that situation is another story.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Anyway, back to the Christmas story. This special year, I got a doll. She had some kind of a "breakable" head and rubber fingers and a pretty blue dress with little blue ribbon bows. She cried when she was laid down and her eyes closed. As most kids I probably had her undressed by the end of the first day. That old doll went through a whole lot, but I don't know what ever happen to her. She was very special to me and I was oh so proud that I had a doll.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Now the special thing was that I remember sitting on my Father's lap watching him tip the doll over to hear her cry. "Listen, he said, this dolly is crying. Poor Dolly!" I remember giggling, but was more interested in the string from his "Bull Durham" tobacco pouch hanging out of his shirt pocket.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">My Dad died a year or so later from cancer, but this had been my one and only Christmas memory I have of him. Love you, Dad!</span></div>

When I finished the "In the Meadow" quilt, I figured I would have at least 2 more done before it was time to cook the turkey, but that didn't happen. So, although I did not get another one done, I did start basting one over the weekend and it WILL be done before the 15th when it is time to decorate the tree.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Decided that there will be not gift exchange this year except for Bobby and the 2 grandsons. None of this craziness of trying to decide what to get who and what size or what gift card is right for whom. I'm just not going to do it. PERIOD!</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">There is also the idea of getting to go on a day trip which Mr. D and I have been doing to celebrate the anniversary of our engagement, but not sure I even want to do that. Seems that finances have become tight this year and instability of the economy these days, perhaps we should just stay home where it is warm and safe.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Oh, yes, we have had a lot of laughs with the dogs. Seems the little boy, The Rocket, can be quite lazy even when it is treat time.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Just updating the wonderful late Autumn weather we are having so we are enjoying it while we can with day trips and shopping and home again jiggery, jig!</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">This one took me almost a month to quilt. It was sitting in the living room at the beginning of October and each day I would do a little except on days when I didn't feel good and there were a few of those during a month of colds, flu shots and a short bout of pleurisy.</span></strong><br />

Eight hours of sleep feels really good and there was coffee already for me when I did finally pull myself out of bed.</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Today, I'm starting on my Beach Cottages quilt. Finished Dr. Who on Saturday and as much as I enjoyed the experience by the time the 12 weeks were up, so was I ready to be finished.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Yesterday, we dined mainly out of our garden with just a few minor exception which was a quarter pound of hamburger and sodas and lettuce. Those Roma tomatoes were really piling up and beginning to look a bit ill, so I decided that spaghetti sauce was in order. I have canned spaghetti sauce in the past, but yesterday I made a small batch just for the two of us. It was pretty yummy I must say!</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Now for the quilt:</span><br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">This year has certainly zipped by in a flash. WOW!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Today is the second day of quilting my Dr. Who quilt. I am amazed at how smoothly it is going on the home machine. As it progresses, I'm certain that I can get it finished and maybe even get my Beach House quilted before the end of the month.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Last weekend was the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie and the War of 1812. We went to see the Tall Ships Parade, but that is all. Missed the concert, the lighting of the Perry Monument and the concert in the park, oh well, I'm getting use to miss things that I want to see. We had earlier missed the German Fest which I just love. </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">We did go to the WA picnic, but it rained so we did not stay very long although I was happy to get home and out of the cold.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">The Flagship, Brig Niagara coming in to Presque Isle Bay:</span><br />

The deck extension is almost done. DH has been working on it all week and should finish the steps and railing today. Although personally I really want to go to Staples today and get some good printer paper. Besides, I would love to go for a ride in the newest edition to our fleet.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Perhaps if I mention it, the plans will change a bit.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Finally, not much rain this week, but it has been chilly. For August we are having rather cool evenings a bit early this year. However; I should have known that when the central a/c was installed last month. That is okay though because we can keep the electric bill down a bit. Seems everything is going up and only when we catch a break with something like Mercedes, do we progress to the norm these days.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Anyway, I have been doing some sewing and got caught up with the Sugar Block club and I only have one block to do for the Craftsy BOM to finish. DH oldest son is here staying until he finds a place, well he needs a job first and he has been doing some real cleaning around here and hopefully it will allow me to actually do some quilting, now that I have an empty table to work on.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Well, here is the June & July Blocks for Craftsy BOM:</span><br />

Finished block #6 & #7 and already have #8 waiting in the box. Get it done, get it done it cries. Fortunately I'm still finding time to do a bit of sewing even with having added 2 people to the basic household if only temporarily. It gets a bit stressful and now is getting a bit costly as well. So I'm pinching pennies a bit more and DH isn't too happy about that. Oh well, not my kid!</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">This is June's called Home Sweet Home. I think it is cute.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">And here is July to cool off a bit with Lime Sherbet. Now that I look at it perhaps it should be called Grape Sherbet or I should have turned around some of the colors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Well enough for today. I've already made my main meal so now I'm going to play some games and watch Huckabee before I retire. No nap today, as it is already after 4 and I've no intention of staying up all night again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Until later, may the Good Lord Bless and Keep you safe and free!</span></div>

Finished up with Block #12 on Monday night and yesterday I put it together and added the first 3" border only to get a comment from one on the Facebook page that block #12 was upside down. Oh no, but then so was the time warp machine in some of the shows, so I'm letting it stay that way. This morning I added the final border of 1" black and will be ready to make the sandwich and start quilting as soon as I can get back into my sewing room.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">TaDa Block #12</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">And the first border. No picture of the black border and may not take one until it is all together. Stay tune that may be in 15 years at the rate that I'm moving these days.</span></div>

In the meantime, I'm collecting more embroidery threads to cover all the visions dancing in my wee little head for things I want to embroider. </span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Oops, wait, I thought I was quilting and with so many tops done or in the process of doing, shouldn't I be actually quilting? Maybe, as soon as I get the courage to go out to my sewing room. Yes, I said courage! Seems my step-son who moved back to town and is staying in the motor home decided that all our carpets needed a cleaning, moved a whole bunch of stuff out to my sewing room and from what DH said, it is just all stack everywhere.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Now, I'm not saying that there was any order out there, but I cringe to think about what it is like now. Maybe Monday!</span><br />

It is hot here but I'm not complaining after the last 6 months, this is Heaven. Finished up Block #9 and block #8 alternative this morning and now, I am planning our dinner. We are having burgers, corn on the cob, and pineapple on the grill this evening. Josh went to his mom's so it is just Grandpa & myself. David R. is staying in the motor home and usually doesn't eat with us so we will have dinner when Grandpa gets back from his shopping trip this evening. In the meantime, the dogs have been given a bath by DR and now we will take a nice little nap. I'm usually up very early and today is no exception so a nap is in order.</span><br />

I really do not like this block, but someone at Fandominstitches, had an alternative block that I'm working on today. I will probably use that one in the finished quilt.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">We had the 2nd Annual Kori's Kritters Event for Animal Rescue on Saturday, July 6th.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">I spoke with Tracey yesterday afternoon and we are happy with the results. The winner of the 50/50 won $1000 and she donated it back to our foundation, so the Anna Shelter will have a very nice pot to work with in the upcoming year. We also came up with a couple of new ways to raise additional funds and that news will be forth coming thanks to the owner of the space where the event was held. He, who shall be nameless, reserved a VIP tent for some of HIS customers in our area and taking up space for our beneficiaries to I don't insure that he made money on this event. Pretty shady. But that is the least of it. As I was leaving, I found out who was in the VIP tent and I'm hear to tell you, I'm not happy! Karma is for real people.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Now, that I've had my rant, here is Block # 8.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Only took me one evening. Our grandson came and will be here for the weekend, so I'm busy cooking and laughing. Dinner tonight consisted of hot dogs, beans, homemade French fries and honey fried apples. Yum, yum!</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">He got the 4 wheeler running and came in all muddy after riding through the mud in the backyard, oh my! He got his shower before dinner was served and even swept the dining room and kitchen floors. He a very good grandson. Thank you!</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">So here is Block #7 of Fandominstitches' Dr. Who Stitch Along:</span><br />
