The Fog.....

A while back hubby took my new camera and went to his remote control flying field and took this first picture. Isn't it great? I just love the fog and the gazebo. Hubby was snapping pictures of everything that day, planes, gazebo's, trees and more planes. The large planes he flies have about a 100" wing span..now that's a BIG plane! It even looks bigger on his workbench...my dining room table! :) His flying group is a great bunch of people. I have met some really nice ladies and when we get together we have a great time. So as the weather gets better and you happen to look up in the sky, think about me, I'll probably be out at some grassy field watching an airshow, a remote control air show! They are the best ones, no ear protection needed!!

Basketweaving Weekend NC

My weekend in NC basket weaving was wonderful! 50 members of our local guild attended, guild members won 10 ribbons and 6 won raffles. We all had a great time.

The weekend started out on Wednesday with a nice relaxing ride with my basket friend Billie. She has this slick navigation system in her car that is way too much for me, every time I touched it, it never did what I wanted. Wednesday night we wrapped tables with plastic, it only took about an hour..woooohoooo..now we are ready for some weaving! Thursday morning we were up and ready, my roomies and me... Marsha and Janet were great roommates. I had great classes, bought lots of new and exciting goodies and even played nurse to Billie when she punctured herself with a weaving tool. (And by the way, she had to get a Tetanus shot and antibiotics on Monday!) Our trip home started out uneventful, then we missed a turn and nope could still not figure out the navigation system, so we turned around and low and be hold saw our missed turn where we were able to correct our error. Wow...the weekend was full of fun, friends and fellowship. I am always excited about going and then always excited to be home. As much as I enjoyed my roomies, I am still in love with my favorite roommate at home...the hubby!!!

I'm a Grandma!!!!!

Meet my Granddog Leonadias, Leo for short. Is this the cutest thing you have ever seen? He is 8 weeks old, 2 lbs and is just like an infant. My daughter Mallori and her boyfriend Anthony decided to get a dog. They looked for a few weeks and found a breeder of Yorkies. They went to see them and were instantly in love. How can you not be with a face like this? On Saturday they picked Leo up and he has stolen everyone's heart, even Grandpa's!

Grandpa Jim and Leo

I am excited that I have a new Grandbaby...glad it's a dog and one day hopefully we will have a grand baby! But for now, welcome Leo to the family!!!

Uncle Jackson and Nephew Leo-Jackson is welcoming Leo to the family.

I'm off.....

I'm finally packed and ready to go. I will be at my basket weaving convention for 5 days. Each year it is almost as exciting as the first. I have the say the first was the most exciting and stressful. You don't know what to expect and it's major basket overload! Each year I get to see old friends and make new. About 40 members from our local guild attend each year.
I'm leaving the hubby and friend here to fend for themselves. I only ask two things, when I return no dishes in the sink and have the dancing girls out before I get home. :)
See you all on Sunday and I'll post pictures of my creations...I'm so excited!!!!!!

Basket friends are the best friends!!!

I'm almost gone.....

Tomorrow I leave for my annual basket weaving convention...no we don't do underwater weaving! My boss Mike likes to joke me about this all the time! :) I am so ready to go. Now the packing is not quite finished, but it will be by 9:00 am tomorrow morning. This week at work , now remember it's only been a two day week, has been kinda crazy. You know how everyone wants everything yesterday? Yes, that has been my week. I have to tell you I love my job and the people I work with, so it's not too bad, even when it is crazy. I got everything done that needed to be done and I left at 4:15 and made it to the bank as I need money for my trip! I'll try to post in the morning, but if not....See you Sunday!
PS...spoke to the world traveler daughter, she is doing great!

Packing....

I am currently getting ready for my basket weaving 4 days....and I am in the process of packing. I hate to pack!!! Let me tell you that again, I HATE TO PACK!!! I have this terrible sense of "what will fit in this bag"...as my hubby would say, I try to fit 20 lbs of crap in a 5 lb bag!! So tonight I am trying to to pack and re-pack and un-pack and pack again. Pulling all my basket "stuff" out of the drawers, closet and trying to match it all up..I just hate it...did I say I hated it?
I went to the store to get my food, I have it all nice and neat in my shopping bag. Do you love those re-usable shopping bags? I have about 5 or 6 and love them. Back to my story....I can pack up my food. I went into my basket room and cleaned out my tool bag and re-packed it. No trouble. Guess it's just the clothes that I am having trouble containing. I'll keep you posted on my packing issues....got some free time? Come on by and pack for me!

Rainy Weekend

Don't you just love those rainy weekends that you get to stay home and do whatever you like or do absolutely nothing? This weekend has been one of those weekends. It has rained since Friday morning and it is still raining! My yard is filling up, the ditches are full and the pool cover is full. Saturday I didn't step outside, it was nice. I did around the house stuff...laundry, TV, dishes and weaving..it was fun! Then today had to run out and meet two basket friends for lunch and went to the book store with the hubby. So now I am just hanging around on the computer. A nice relaxing weekend, I love it!!!

Here's Jackson, our Lab, sleeping today...he loves a rainy day,

matter of fact..he sleeps like this everyday!
