I'm baaack

Babysitting tonight so Mommy and Daddy can have an evening together before they lose their sitter. Rylee went down long ago so I am enjoying some computer time!
Been busy with Rylee and getting my last projects finished, cleaning and such. Preparing to go home. Only week to go...

It was fun catching up on your blogs. Have a great summer-I know I will.

Hoppy Easter

The Easter Bunny is hopping the street to bring you happiness, good health and chocolate! (maybe a bottle of wine) Good Bunny!

Rylee decorated a cake today with pink peeps...she opened gifts from the easter bunny-read mama, daddy and me- mostly she was only interested in the bubble machine which didn't work! So I am off to find bubbles. The old fashioned kind.

To Blog or not to blog

Since I just don't get to Shannon's often enough to use the computer to blog. And doing it on the I-phone is hard. Add to that my blogs have become blaaags. I just wanted to say that if I have something to say I'll post. But if not...NOT.
I will try to stay reading...

Excuses /accident

Excuses for not blogging are:
no access to normal size computer.
Too much company.
Car accident.
But the truth is too much fun on facebook conecting with old friends.

Before you wonder a guy came flying through the intersection without yielding and crashed into the side of my car it's in the shop. I rented a Chevrolet traverse-love it!
My worst regret is I wish he could have hit the side that needed repainting

To Shannon on her Birthday

34 years ago today we got the best gift ever - you! 6 lbs. 6 1/2 oz. of joy! And you having been bringing us joy ever since. Dad and I are so proud of the wonderful person you are. Rylee is so lucky to have you for a mom!

We have been best friends since the beginning! Here are some mom and daughter photos through the ages.







Have fun today and everyday. Happy Birthday from the two people who have loved you the longest and the bestest!
Mom & Dad

Making progress

Project update:
I didn't paint. Decided I didn't know what to paint.
The teddy Bear was too hard, with no pattern I had issues with the head. I wasn't sure if I could just leave it off and call it the headless Teddy!
I did work on the quilt and have it mostly done! It's cute.
And we are kicking A__ on the scanning of photos! So all in all not a bad couple of days.

Paint/Quilt/Bear

With company gone I am in the mood to do projects. So this weekend I proclaim, project weekend. I have a painting idea I have been dying to paint. A quilt to sew for my niece. A teddy bear to try to sew, no pattern just an idea. We'll see what gets done. Seems like I have more projects than time lately. And more time than money...story of my life.

Photo scan in progress. I bought a photo scan machine from QVC and it works slick! Shannon has started the scans and I am going to help. Our plan is to scan in all the old family photos and give a CD (or CD's) to each family member. (Hope they are not holding their breath.)

I am taking care of Rylee today while Shannon is at the dentist. She went down to sleep about 10 minutes ago. I miss her, now that I don't care for her everyday. Seems I am more lonely than she is...she has turned into quite the little Mommy's girl!!! And Daddy's girl too, as today when I came she screamed Daddy, daddy daddy...and was slightly disapointed it was only Gramma. Ah well third place isn't bad!

Must run.
