Finally have the top finished for Little Man's quilt. I have it pinned together with the batting and the backing. Then time for the binding.

I am pretty excited. I have a friend up in Massachusetts that is moving down here with her three daughters.

I can't believe how fast time has flown. My favorite niece is graduating high school on June 2, 2011. The Monkey starts high school in August 2011. I remember when these girls were born. It seems like just yesterday they were learning to walk.. Now one is a beautiful adult and one is a beautiful young lady.

Use crayons to color a Bible quilt

Use crayons to color a Bible quilt

This is such a cute idea! I can't wait to make one!

Just wanted to wish The Boy

He turned 19 today. It seems like just yesterday he was a little baby (well not a little baby since he was 9 pounds 1 oz at birth.)

Wildflowers of Terezin

This book was wonderful. The main characters are a Jewish Nurse and a Lutheran Pastor. The setting is during the German occupation of Denmark, in the Fall of 1943.

I downloaded this book three days ago and could not stop reading it. It took me two and a half days to read it. I even had to take my netbook with me when picking up Monkey from school today. I sat in the truck in the parking lot at the school reading. I could not put it away/down.

I know I have been gone for awhile. The laptop was acting up with the wireless adapter and Frankie's laptop died. Blue screen of death then wouldn't even reset to factory settings... So Frankie and I bought little netbooks. We love them... I love it because it is so easy to just put in the bag and take to my Board Meetings. So light! The only downsize is that it isn't optimized for game play so I haven't been able to play my farmville or mafia wars etc on facebook. I know terrible right?! I think I am at the end of the withdrawal period. LOL

Today I finally made a quiche. Monkey asked me to make one because the name sounds cool. So I thought I would surprise her and Frankie with a nice spinach quiche. I did cheat and not make my own crust. I used packaged crust.. I do need to get better with that. I have a recipe that my friend pointed out to me for Mini Apple Pies that I am dying to make...

I am still such a baby with heat... I swear if I had my way I would still live up in Massachusetts. This heat has even affected my sleep. I find that I get the best sleep in the living room with the a/c vent and two fans blowing straight on me... For some reason the a/c vent in the bedroom does not blow as well as the one in the living room. Thea/c unit is less than a year old. The duct work was checked and we were told it was fine.. But obviously there is an issue somewhere.

Today Monkey, my baby, is registering for high school. I can't believe that she is going to be a freshman... She is talking about going to the University of Tampa (I know she is not even in high school yet but this child young woman knows what she wants). She is planning on getting into the Honor Program so she can do a semester abroad at Oxford University in England. At the high school she will be attending they have to pick a major. She is picking Language Arts. Like her momma she loves English.

May 1, 2011

I will never forget that I was sitting on my couch and something told me to turn on Fox News and see if the President was speaking. I had seen that he was going to address the Nation at 2230 (1030PM). Well. It was 2241 and I was a little late so I thought I was going to miss it. Imagine my surprise, joy etc to see the word ALERT scrolling and the words BIN LADEN IS DEAD

He was killed a week ago BUT they were waiting for DNA confirmation. They got it!

I feel bad at rejoicing in the death of someone BUT to me this person was an evil evil person.

The President has just confirmed that American Troops killed Bin Laden.

Justice has been done.

Edited to add- I want to make clear that I was not rejoicing in the death of one of God's children but in the fact that the pure evil that was in him is gone.

I will be back... I promise! Need to learn to manage my time better and stay away from the idiot box!!
