Alive and "Well" in Georgia

Well, haven't written in a few weeks. Have been feeling miserable and been in bed for nearly a week. Not fun. The antibiotics made me feel worse than my asthma, ear and sinus infections, etc., etc., etc. Bob said he knew I was sick when I didn't want to sew with my newly repaired sewing machine. Bob picked it up on Wednesday from my sewing machine store. Almost all the insides are replaced, basically it's a new machine.

My desktop computer broke and Bob took it to Microsoft for repair. Cost almost as much as a refurbished computer, which the broken one was. I decided to just stick to the laptop. Bob's going to show me how to connect the large monitor and cordless keyboard and mouse.
I keep thinking about peanut butter and peanut products and it makes me realize how uncaring and selfish some people are. I heard recently that a plant in Texas (same company) is responsible for at least 8 cases of salmonella in Colorado. Of course, the company is filing bankruptcy so no one can sue. Frankly everyone from the top down who covered this up needs to go to jail for a very, very long time. I don't understand how the food inspectors let this happen. It's been a huge cover up and took multiple deaths for it to be uncovered. Come on, guys, this isn't China, it's the US and we can do better than this.

I borrowed a sewing machine to finish the Tiny Stitches charity quilt top. Another member is quilting it and a third is doing the binding. I took pictures and it is so cute. I love it. It's bright and cheerful and turned out just like I wanted it to. When I figure out how to download the pictures to my laptop, I'll post them.
Talk about pictures - here are two which I think are funny. Robyn was showing a client a farm and got stuck in the mud. Range Rovers are nothing but junk! Her comments are - "I thought I could just "rock" out of it, so I ended up shredding two tires and killed the balance. The worst part was the "thump, thump, thump" all the way home as mud flew everywhere from the tires and under the car and everyone on the freeway stared at me driving 4 miles an hour trying to keep the car driving straight! Next time I'm driving a tractor." The car had to be wenched out of the muck. Hope she didn't loose the client!
Bob wasn't at all sympathetic. He told her "That's not a car it's a Range Rover for g-d's sake. It is reputed to handle the African Velt and the snows of Kilimanjaro. Must be driver error."
Her old Landcruiser wouldn't have done this!

Can't Believe Another Week Has Gone By

Hard to believe a week has gone by. I have started to piece the top for my charity raffle quilt. I think it's going to be so cute. I've borrowed a sewing machine from someone since my is still sick and far away from me. I MISS MY SEWING MACHING!
Had family over for lunch today. Debby cooked and it was incredible!
Bob went to play golf after everyone left. Can't believe it's only February and it's 61 degrees out. It feels like springtime.
We found an old internal jazz drive, but unfortunately the technology was antique. Bob found someone who for $100 recovered 18 jazz discs that had lots and lots of photos on it. Here are two of my favorite - they are my grandson Kennon's early artwork when he was about 2 1/2 or 3 years old. Papa added the descriptions! He's 13 now and does draw a lot better and he can also write his own descriptions!
Watching "Psych" on DVR. Thank goodness for DVRs - so much better than taping. Just finished "Monk". We seldom watch tv in real time, unless it's news or the "Today" show.
Hopefully, I'll have more sewing projects to post when I get my sewing machine back. Trying to think of something original to do. Hope I can come up with something.

Super Bowl Day

Well, today is the big day - Super Bowl. Since the Falcons aren't playing, we're going for the under dog - the Cardinals. I'm not a football fan, but I love the commercials and half time. Deb got us the 3-D glasses yesterday, so we can watch the Disney commercial.
I called about my sewing machine yesterday. The bad news is that it took over a week to get back to the factory in Missouri. I think it was all the ice and snow that held it up. I'm sure it'll be at least two weeks more before I get it back. I've been concerned about the Tiny Stitches quilt. For you sewers, I've decided not to borrow a machine and instead, serge the quilt top. I'll pick up the remaining squares at our meeting tomorrow.
Want to share pictures of my grandpuppies, Taffy and Tank together and Sadie chewing on her toy.
Having fun connecting with extended family, most of whom I've never met. Definitely getting addicted to Facebook. It's amazing to this old gal, that cousins that are distantly related look like my grandmother, grandfather and uncles. My mother's side of the family has some really strong genes!
