We went to Kentucky for a church homecoming, and took some time to check out properties near Irvine that we saw on Zillow. Somehow our GPS got confused in the mountains, but we found the property I had my eye on purely by accident. It is everything that I want - a view, quiet, and a small house. The only problem is that we aren't ready to retire for anot her couple years, and can't afford two mortgages. I hope the LORD will keep it for us!

My sweetie and I will be hosting two foreign students next year. We already know that they will be girls, one from Germany and the other from Finland. Unfortunately I'll have to give up my craft room. I've cleared off my "shelf of stuff" and moved my vanity to the master bedroom. Thankfully, I'll have plenty of time to clean out the closet, which is full of my fabric.
On the plus side, it's an opportunity to clear out trash and donate stuff to our local thrift store.

Those are beautiful! My lilacs are just starting to open their leaves a bit. I think we are two weeks out from blooms

For me, it isn't spring until the lilacs bloom.

Unfortunately I misunderstood the registration form and marked it as quilted by sewing machine. In any case, there were a lot of quilts in the long arm computer quilted category better than mine.
It was fun to see them and learn new patterns and techniques.

Tomorrow I will be taking this quilt to Morehead KY for the Rowan County Quilt Show. I'll find out if it won any awards on Saturday.

There's a thin layer of snow on the ground and it's bitterly cold. I've fed the outside cts, birds and deer. Now I'm starting the melancholy task of packing up my mother-in-law's clothing. Since she will be living in the nursing home we decided to rent the apartment to our son.
I'll mark each bin in case we need to find something.

Tonight I was looking through a book by James Thurber. Here is my favorite Thurber cartoon.

Sounds like a fun day! You absolutely do not look like a risk taker! My sweetie always whizzes thru antique stores, so I have times I go alone so I can take all the time I want Lol!!

Thank you Connie, Karen and Krista. This time of year it is dull and gray; but spring will come eventually.
We went to an antique mall today and my sweetie whizzed through it then insisted on going to eat.
One thing I've noticed lately is people saying "be careful." As I leave the nursing home, leaving a restaurant or store..do I look like a risk taker?

Prayers for your MIL, so sorry she fell. I lose a lot of hair too. It also will keep certain bugs from getting to your plants.
My Grandmother always cut our hair as kids and saved it for all kinds of stuff, most outside in the garden. I have a few curls she saved in an envelope from my haircut when I was 5. I'm going to get an ott light too!

My mother-in-law has fallen twice in as many days and has gashes on her head. She has continually told us she doesn't need a round the clock caretaker, but its obvious she does. No brain damage luckily.
I'm sitting in an emergency room while tests are done, waiting for them to put in more staples. I joked that she'll look like the Bride of Frankenstein.

So frustrating trying to sew today. Three of my four sewing machines are on the fritz. I'll be toting them to the repair shop. At least one of them works.

This is all my hair collected from my hairbrush in 2023. More probably was vacuumed up. I think I shed more than our husky! I'll add it to my garden as compost
