A Fun Weekend Ahead!

Tomorrow marks the beginning of our 3 day quilt-a-thon ... yahoo!!!!

There will be 22 of us ladies getting together and meeting hours upon hours each day to delve into all those wonderful quilting projects ... some of which have yet to be finished from time gone by and others so brand new that we have not had time to think about!

All our food is going to be provided, so yay ... no cooking!

I will be taking lots of photos over the 3 days and will let you in on the fun we have had!

Now to go and pack up ......

A Little Tug on the Heart Strings!

I have received many beautiful flowers from my children over the Easter weekend, but none that touched my heart as much as this little bouquet of wildflowers picked from a ravine!

Briggy and her two little girls came over for dinner last night.  When the door opened, there stood little Lauryn holding this bouquet of wildflowers in her little hands and said ... "we picked these just for you, Nana, from the ravine!"  

These moments truly melt my heart and make every little worry disappear

God Bless the Children!

A Wonderful Easter!

What a wonderful Easter celebration we had with those in our dear family who could make it.  There was lots of good food,  pretty flowers, laughter and that "feel good" feeling that comes over us when being with those we love!

Our Easter Feast

Not long now before the family arrive for our Easter feast of roast turkey and all the trimmings.  What would Easter be without an egg hunt too.  It's going to be great to have the family together to celebrate this special time of the year.

Life is indeed good!

Hyacinths for my girls

The table is set!

Treaties for the kiddies

It must be almost summertime!

I can't believe it has been 2 weeks since my last blog entry!  Life is so busy ... not complaining as I have the luxury of doing what I want to do every day - LOVE retirement!  Hubby tells me if this is what retirement is like, he will keep working!! LOL

Today was the beginning of spring cleanup for us.  The sun was shining and it was beautiful outside so hubby and I decided to scrub down the deck and garden furniture.  It took us most of the day but the efforts are well worth it!

Getting Rid of the algae

Furniture drying off

Looking good!

Can hardly wait to fire up this baby!

After ... all ready for some nice warm weather and a marguerita!

How pretty!

Look at my strawberry plants poking their heads out ... the grandkiddies will be delighted!
