I finished another project

Just wanted to brag a bit. RosaLee and I started an embroidery project last year, and because of Christmas and dozens of other things, I put it away "for a season". Got it out last month and once again enjoyed doing the embroidery. I'm not completely satisfied with the end product, I wish I had used a medium color fabric instead of the dark, however, it is finished (except for the quilting). I'm happy with the embroidery so have began another project.

And a close up:

All Better

The new machine was delivered today - hooray - I got to do laundry.


Also computer has been acting up for the last couple of weeks, it turns out to be the browser, so




I called our resident computer guru (Troy) and he helped me download a different browser, I don't know what we did to the old one. Anyway we are up and running again with a new browser, but of course we have lost all our bookmarks, oh well I guess I was tired of the old ones anyway. Also have lost all settings for the visually impaired, this print is so small I have to use a magnifying glass, no worries, I'll figure it out




.
I am getting all my blog sites logged in so I can get to them easily.
I'm sad to see the Mikel Richters' leave the west coast. Even though we didn't get to see them often I knew they were close.

OK! Enough of this, I have Temple tomorrow "we Love to see the Temple" just like Krew - tomorrow I get to be the coordinator so I better get some sleep, is that possible? We have a Stake day so it will be busy - I'm polished my roller skates.

Dead Machine

Laundry piling up all over the place!!!

I really like the modern conveniences of the day but it is really irritating to have them break down.

The really upside to all this is I don't have to do laundry this week, the downside is that no one in this house has clean cloths until Tuesday when the new guy is delivered.

Oh well I guess we'll have to do the "Troy missionary" trick and turn our undies in side out for a day or two.

That's all I have I just wanted to vent some where. Other than that "my" missionaries are terrific, we hardly know they are in the house. They must me very hard working because we seldom see them. They are out working all day and in the mornings they are studying.

That's the update here, after my wonderful "Spring" posting this is a little depressing. but we must have the bitter with the sweet.

It's Spring in So Cal

You understand of course we seldom have much winter, but it seems to be spring today!

The geraniums are blooming on the patio

The roses are beautiful!

The corn isn't quite as high as an elephant's eye - yet. But, we have faith that we will have sweet corn and tomatoes this summer.

My Amaralis are coming up through the pansies and promise to bloom beautifully in a week or so. Should have gotten a better close up of these.

Any how, I thought you would like a glimpse of Spring in my yard. I know it's cold and snowy,in some places of the U.S.A. maybe even where you live and I would really rather it were cooler here. However, we are told to "grow where we are planted" and I'm trying. I miss all of you - hope spring comes to you very soon.

I Love Company

But it is so hard when they go home. Tasha was here for a week for her spring break, we had a really great time. She opted to make a Quilt, sounds kind of familiar doesn't it. My Loralie came in February and she made a quilt, I think I'll open up a quilt shop.

We went to Knotts Berry Farm for an afternoon, road "A" roller coaster - this is the very roller coaster, can you see us there? We bought some funnel cake - bought a bonnet for Tasha - she's going on trek this year. Bought a boysenberry pie, but went home for chicken dinner.

Sooooo, now I'm at odds as to what to do next, my house is kind of quiet, even though Tasha is not noisy, I miss her sweet spirit.

I'm sure I'll get over it soon, because the missionaries are moving in on Monday and then this house will double in occupancy and I'll be bumping into people all over the place.

So who's going to come visit next????

Yes!! Savior of the World Production is over, it was a wonderful production, we got rave reviews from everyone that saw it and someone said that Yes we were going to do it again. However, I am now warned and I will not say yes to sewing. I think next time I'll simply buy a couple of tickets and go see it - that's enough for me.
