Peek-a-boo!

This is how Bubbie does my quilts if he gets any chance at all...I usually keep it folded over he rack and pinned in a couple places. I had had it off, and put it back over the rack but I had not put the pins in place. I came in and Roger told me to look...and there he was. He always works and gets under stuff...sometimes it is a throw rug, which always leaves his back end hanging out. Or he will go in the bathroom and pull the towels down and crawl under them.

We had thunderstorms before daylight and lots of rain. The rain cleared out early in the day, and the wind started blowing. The morn was shirt-sleeve weather but by evening, a coat was needed. The wind felt like it went right to the bone. I only know this from letting the cats in and out, and feeling the cold when Roger came in and out.

I had 3 or 4 days of not working on my quilt, but got back on track this afternoon and finished cutting the dark strips for the main part of the quilt...and even did just a tiny bit of sewing. Let's hope I get back on track with that...

I'm signing off for now...I have a jar of tomato juice waiting on me in the fridge....there is just nothing like home-canned tomato juice....

Prized Sunday shots...

I just love both of these photos...in the top one she is giving papaw lips with her fake lipstick. Any time she sees someone with chapstick, she has to have 'lips.''
We had not seen the Toot since the day after New Years...so were very lonesome for her. Sarah called Saturday night, so made plans to go over there Sunday...we got up early, I fried a bunch of chicken legs, and we were on the road by 8:00...or maybe 8:05.

We got there about 10:00....just so wonderful to see them. Lorelei is just changing so much and saying so many things. I don't even know where to begin. I almost need to make notes when she says them.

She was looking through her little old kaleidoscope, and she says "THAT's GORGEOUS!"...emphasizing just like that... and she said it three or four times when she would change it.

Then later we were sitting in the living room, almost ready to head home. Lo had been sitting with me for a while, then got withher mom, then her mom got up, and Lorelei was talking to me. Well, her mom came back and sat down, Lo ran around to the side of her chair and said, "So, you got something you want to give me?' And yes she said it in the form of a question. Sarah laughed and said what would I want to give you or what do you want me to give you....and Lo says "Candy!" and it is the way she says it...just funny. And she also said 'chocolate.' This is just a couple of the ones that tickled us the most.

I am not kidding when I say it was love at first bite as far as Lo and chocolate are concerned...

Well, I am running late...had company today...didn't feel like posting last night so going to get this posted, and try to get something ready for Time Stand Still...

Saturday at the strip pits...

I ran through the strip pits...and for just a few minutes here and there, there would be this fine snow...making forthese misty pictures.
I couldn't help but snap a few...and I will say it just may be a personal thing with me...you may not like them at all...
And I just love this one. Click and enlarge it, or better yet, right click on it and open in a new tab till you can see the full view of the size I posted. I love how all those cattle on the far hill, are all lined up going in one direction. I could see no reason for them to be doing that, but if you will notice they are all the way across the scene. I could actually see the first cows, but could not really see the tail end of the herd.
