Well here is some fun stuff, DH and I just returned from car shopping with a new "toy". Oh what fun! I have been searching Craig's List and Car Soup and some others and we finally found just what we wanted. This is me sitting in the driveway. And as promised I am also adding some photos of a quilt I made to go with our new furniture. I had my painted floral one and it just wasn't the right colors. So this quilt was so fun, I started it on Tuesday morning had it pieced by that evening and had it quilted, bound and on the wall by Wed. night. It still needs to be blocked but I love it. The pattern is by Deb Madir of Birch Creek Quilts and is called Moon Dancers. But I didn't put on the "moons" And of course I had to do a little painting with Paintstiks and make it a little bigger to fit the space. Deb also sells iron on crystals. Check out her other patterns, they are lots of fun and easy to do. Well I'm going to go and drive my new toy for a while and then tomorrow we go to our niece's wedding. Pray for nice weather and have a Blessed Day.

Well I'm back from vacation and ready to work -NOT!!!! It is so hard to get back to this everyday grind. But we had a good time, even though it was sad and hard to leave part of the family so far away. We moved son #4 and his family to Missoula, MT so DS could attend pharmacy school out there. I have gotten so used to having all of my children and grandchildren close that it won't be easy having some 1200 miles away. I don't know how other women handle having all of their family far away. But it will also give us a wonderful place to visit. Missoula is a quirky little town of about 65,000 people, with another 40,000 or so in the "suburbs". It is a college town with a "hippie" feel. You can get from one side of town to the other in about 15 minutes if not in rush hour traffic. Everything is close, Polly says she didn't use a tank full of gas in the first week they were there. While we were there we went to Lolo Pass and Glacier Park, both beautiful places. Here are a few photos. This is enough for this posting, too many photos make it hard to look so I am going to do another posting tomorrow with some quilting stuff. Have a Blessed Day!
