It's Really Quiet....


Weldon just left with the girls, and I am home by myself for the next 18 hours or so. I don't think this has ever happened before, but I am going to soak it up!



He's taking them to dinner and to stay at a hotel, and then they'll do fun stuff tomorrow. Me, well, I'm going to go get some dinner myself, and then maybe do some shopping or fun projects, or whatever I want to do!!!
Tomorrow, I see coffee and breakfast at Starbucks, then some more of whatever I want to do!
I'll update you later on what I did. For now, I'm going to go enjoy some "me time"!

Just for grins...

I was playing with an app on my phone, and here's what I would look like in the 1940s/50s:


or as a 1960s/70s house wife:

Don't I look good??!

And what do you do when you're traveling in the car and discover that you have no stitch holders for your knitting?
You use a drinking straw! (hey, it worked)

And a cute phrase from my daughter: "I got a 'whoopy-doopy' straw!"
She also told me I had "duck bumps" on my legs the other day. ;)

A Sure Sign of Spring

Here are some of the signs of spring that I have been enjoying. (which is everything except the fine coating of yellow that has taken residence over everything outside)



While I was outside, I heard this hawk overhead. There is a family of hawks living somewhere close by. We've enjoyed watching them!

Another sure sign of spring is that my girls are outside swinging....

and pulling weeds!!

And I won't promise, but I hope to have some more posts up next week. I have been busy sewing, painting, working outside, etc., etc. There is a baby shower at my house next Tuesday, so I'm on a countdown! I hope to have lots to show you soon! Hang with me!
