Best/Worse/What did I learn today...visit with friends #122

They all are cute...two and three are my favorites!

Another is 3 snowmen (primitive) that have wires for hands - on a base with 2 or 3 Christmas trees...don't have a photo or proto type but lovely when done ...guess I could try and cut one out and fake it to give you all an idea...

you kind of have to tell me lol which are your favorites? then when we come up with one I'll post and link and start the process

I like number two also. Actually, they are all great. I also like the seventh one (post #7137759) It looks a bit feminine and you don't see that too often... None of them look to be really difficult.
Now I can't wait!!!!!

Yet another, as I'm thinking here is a snowman kit..

Has a snowman head (wears a scarf, mitts, shoes and coal as well as a sign ...

For those with snow, you stick it in a snowbank and the snowman looks as though he's laying down with feet up ..

for those with NO snow, he can pieces can just lie there with sign saying "waiting for snow"

I like the second and seventh.

I like 3 and 7! Let us know what items we need to look for!

Just popping in! Hello to All !

Really cute Christmas projects! Wish I were more artsy.....I would give it a try.

Crissy - I'm sure Louisiana is pretty messed up.... dirty politics...I think locals are just used to it.

Hey Judy - You sound like me....I was so nervous teaching Brock to drive...I made him nervous. Then when the girls started learning...I just gave up. Let DH do it!

I'll check back soon. Miss you all...

((HUGS))

LOL Mary, I've heard of it happening here too, and in CA, just the quality of the employees now a days, no one cares, just come to work to make a paycheck, doesn't matter if you do your job right or not.

Hi Mary!! We miss you....and you would not have a problem with projects Betty has been showing us....you should give it a try!

Hi All.

Morning Tubby! Thanks for the smiles!

Good Morning!
Sorry to go on a little disappearence a couple of days.
After having to do the Jury Duty days, had to play catch up!
Well, Sunday was a beautiful day and Steve wanted to go for a Bike run.
Wow, was a bit chilly, but we really enjoyed it.
Went to a biker place for lunch called Spokes. The food was great and OMG, the place was decorated in vintage bikes of all kinds.
LOL, they had a picture of one made of 2x4's as the frame!!
So the ride was an hour and half each way. Rode through some very pretty backroads, but the colors are just slightly changing.
I am seriously contemplating taking the same ride in my car in a couple of weeks to see the colors.
Jake had a game on Saturday but didn't want us to go, so I slept until noon!! Cant even remember when I have done that last.
So I guess I needed the rest....Bummer they didn't win.
The girls are doing well, just working and going to school...
Steve has been busy, since it's raining, he decided he will go to the house and finish up a few things...So leaving in a bit.
He wants to be back by Friday because it is homecoming weekend, Jakes first one!! We are excited for him. He is even going to take his girl to the dance...
Me, well just keeping myself busy with the house...nothing too exciting, lol.
-------
Betty, Sure did love to see your garden chair! Think it's really neat!
Oh yikes, I m glad Bernie is almost over that Phnemonia...And I am also glad the boys are getting past their trauma.
I hope that will pass quickly..
You sound very busy. How's the afghan coming along?
OMG, Almost forgot about the birdbath, I love it!! The stones and shells work so beautiful together., not to mention I also love the leaf impression throughout.

Mary, So glad to see you! I am sure you are very busy with school and now work.
LOL, yep, I make DH do the driving lesson, in rain, but otherwise it’s me on nice days. I’m getting used to her driving, just takes practice and lots of patients.

Debbie, Haven’t seen you in a while, hope all is well.

Hope everyone's having a great day! See ya'll later!

My mom needs big time prayers, she has her reconstructive surgery coming up sometime this month and we're hoping and praying that this cures a lot of her pain and she won't have to find a nerve doctor who will cut the nerve.

I got the absolute best news last night!! My dad is Crew Chief of the 1957 Chevy Stepside version of this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNTan4qAiFg

He called me last night and they just got through with the Miramar Air Show in San Diego last weekend, that's the link, and is camping at the south end of the Grand Canyon so it was kinda hard to understand him, but I think he said that NHRA has contacted them and wants to be a part of Shockley Shockwave 1957 Jet Pickup-Truck!!!!!

http://www.shockwavejets.com

I am so excited for him!!

Crissy, I will add your Mom to the prayers. Love the truck, that is pretty cool.

Seedtosser, LOVE your house! And the stepping stones are to die for!

Good Morning!

Crissy, will keep your mom in thoughts and prayers.

Thank you all about our house.
Linda Kay, Yes the front deck is a lovely place to have a nice drink, we sure enjoy morning coffee there.
Nice and sunny...Spend a lot of time on the lakeside deck too, where we can view Eagles fishing, as well as all the water sports.

Audrey, I ve a great story about those steps.
DH took a slightly differrent route and passed this quarrey some 40 miles or so away.
So he decided to make a stop to see the stones and price them out.
The man was thrilled at having a customer! DH asked how much for say 40 stones.
The man thought about it and quoted a price of $75.00!! So DH was delighted and told the man he would have to come back
after unloading the van. The man asked where the house was, then offered to follow DH...
Such a Deal! and also let DH pick an extra 5 stones for good measure!


So how is everyone doing today?

Crissy, wanted to say, how exciting for your dad!! That is an outrageous truck. Wowah to see something like that would be awsom.

Crissy, Praying for your mom. BEV

Afternoon all, been busy as can be..Jeff implemented new program at work and I'm putting all my files in..just finished, now I have more time than I did before, can you imagine..

Can't believe how far you've come with the cottage Judy..it must have such a feeling of warmth..and to think it's all yours now...

Crissy, will add prayers for you mom..now is it with the Doctor that Debbie put you on to? terrible pain she must be in..ohhh lucky dad...bet he's pleased as punch

Bev, you gaining strength? you must be doing what the doctor said otherwise you'd not be working in the gardens..

oooops, lunch time..be back

Yea, he's trying to not get too excited in case it doesn't happen, he's not in the negotiating or anything.

Thanks everyone for adding my mom to your prayers. The Dr. that Debbie gave her info about doesn't cut nerves, he referred to my mom to another dr. who referred my mom to another dr. who referred my mom to a dr. in Baltimore. He told my mom he has cut 1 nerve in his whole career and that lady is going through some 'not so good times right now,' and my mom wasn't very happy with that, but then she talked to him again and got a different outcome. Hopefully she won't even have to go that route.

Cute house Judy!!

Crissy - your mom is always in my thoughts and prayers. She's been through so much, it's about time!

Marilyn - about time Lorna's in Rehab! She's been through a lot of hospitals....and travelling, too

Keeping all those in my prayers, that need it.

Take care everyone, and have a great day!!

~Susan~

Crissy didn't you say sometime around the the 20th? I marked my calendar for the 22nd. My prayers are with her....Blessings, Barb

Morning All
Remember me saying I was getting something..
I was going to a Jersey calf..But with my being sick meant Shirley would have to feed it. She has enough to do taking care of me...LOL With winter coming she would be wading through the snow in the dark. Both morning & night..I was getting it from my niece..They have a dairy farm in SD..Well they are going to keep it for us till I get on my feet..Will cost a little more for us..But I'm glad they doing this..Hoping to get it early spring or sooner..Depends on how soon I get back up & running. It won't be on grain like I would have been doing. But I'll make up for that when we get him. We've had Holstein calf's & one Limousine. Actually cost more to raise one..But you know what it's been eating. No additives.
