Had a great weekend in Hutchinson with these two fun  ladies. We toured the Underground Salt Museum. Cruised the antique shops. Swam. I won the firestarting contest, (because I brought the battery operated candles)! Drank some delicious wine. We went to bed early and fell asleep with smiles on our faces!!  Love you girls a teepee full!!



My family comes to my house for Thanksgiving and I love it! Turkey, Dressing, Chicken and noodles and mashed potatoes, oyster casserole.  Mom's pumpkin pies!!

For a little extra fun I spell out everybody's names around the house and make them find it!  Makes them get up and look around.  The only rule is nobody can tell someone else where their name is!!

 

On the couch where "John" usually sits.

 

Beads on a bookshelf.

On top of the great-grandmas cupboard.  Spelled with scrapbooking cutters.

I will have to get more creative.  They've figured out my usual display spots.  Maybe they should be disguised?  Hmm...

 

I work with this great group of gals in our Outpatient Clinic.

    Here we are getting a private lesson on CPR.  We have to renew CPR certification every 2 years.

 

 

C. in gray uniform is our newby in the clinic but she has been around our hospital for years. She is our personal CPR instructor.

 

Ch. and A. and I have been working together for about 10 years and have been through a lot together. Marriage, death, stellar birthdays, rough days, great days, disagreements, "sickness and in health".

I love the work I do and its because of these great gals!!

 

 

 

Taking pictures early morning...  

 

everybody waiting for feed...

 

drop the camera lady, get the feed bucket, and nobody gets hurt.

A little stroll around my sewing room. 

 

3rd month~3rd quilt. This one is slightly different.  But it is sewn down to fleece like the others. "Quilt as you go".

 

I purchased this kit at Silver Dollar City.

 

 

 

This is the view out my window today.  Looks like it is snowing inside!!

 

 

 

  In the past it has been

 the little bedroom,

the old bedroom,

the boys bedroom,

Dad's bedroom. 

This year it will be the

sewing room.

 

 

The bathroom can be really convenient!

 

There's my desk where I keep track of alpaca stuff.

Fabric and sewing stuff.  Music on top!  Old "boom box" on top!

 

 

A presently unmade bed.

 

Ironing board.

 

My scrapbook stuff. 

 

Sewing machine in front of window.  Do love that view.  I'm waiting for the beautiful view of spring.

So that's my sewing room.  Could have gone all day without seeing this, huh? And still be the same. But thanks for looking.
