Mom's weekend Friday night and a Quilt show!

Go west young women go west! And a little bit or rather quite a bit North! lol Early Friday morning Dear Daughter Missy and I hit the road for Moscow Idaho! Where Dh booked us into what we told him to a "cheaper motel" But he did not need to actually look for "hole in the wall" lol The sheets and shower curtain were tie dyed. lol Well it was at least clean. No coffee maker, blow drier, shampoo, but a place to lay my head.

For this evenings entertainment Dd is making some kind of fancy dancy drink for us with cherry vodka and coconut run. hmmm? I even owned a bar (beer and wine) and grill and have never been a big drinker or bar person since I went to college here. oh no! Tonight is the big party night. I'm in the room to take a nap while the kids are frisbee golfing.

We went to one of my son's friends house for breakfast. The roommates were supposed to cook belgian waffles and stuff. Their moms came too. None of us moms would cook. So everyone had to get out of bed. My son who did not even live there did the cooking. lol and no waffles oh well. We had a lot of laughs telling stories about our boys.

At least there was Bacon Missy's favorite!

Last night we played trivia pursuit and drank a little. lol my son is the one with the beard behind me. Some drank more than others.

My two kids in the middle. Little lady on the left is another mom I see every year.

I did go to a quilt show today and picked up a few fat quarters. Fat Quarters don't count against the No Fabric Buying Resolution. lol

I took some pictures of some quilts and will put more on in other posts. This quilt is the only one that had any liberated type quilting.

I liked this one because of the scrappy pieced border.

It had a little bit of everything else too and love the black and white contrast.

I loved these triangles and want to make one like this.

Well I will get back on with further posts if possible. I need to take a nap so I can survive the night.

Road Trip!!!!!

I am leaving tomorrow morning right after my morning bus routes with my daughter for our third annual ROAD TRIP! Up to Moscow Idaho to the U of I where my son is a student. It is MOM'S WEEKEND! Wooo Hoooo! Party! lol It is about a 5 to 6 hour drive and I really enjoy the time with Missy one on one. We talk about everything and listen to music REAL loud.
Steven (the son) is in Sigma Kappa Fraternity. On Saturday they do a nice dinner then have a silent auction on baskets the parent bring. This is my basket this year. The Oops gift basket. Notice the label on the wine...Oops. I look all year for funny wines. (Last year it was Trailer Trash. ) I also typed up a card.


This Oops basket is for any occasion you have had an oops moment and need to make up for it! Just clip appropriate oops note sign it with I love you and your name.

Oops! Sorry I fell asleep.

Oops! Sorry I did not call I was going to be late and you made such a wonderful dinner I could tell by what was left on the wall. By the way I can get the candle wax off the dinning room table.

Oops! Me and my big mouth, I meant to say was NO! honey that outfit does not make your butt look big.
………………………………......................................................................................................
Oops! This basket is to say I’m sorry I walked in the room?
Didn’t notice your haircut?
For breathing too loud?
Anything I might do or not do?

I think it should go for some money. There is two bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon Oops wine, fancy crackers, cheese spreads, wine glasses, stuffed olives, summer sausage, smoked oysters and some real nice Lindt chocolates Dark to milk. Something to appeal to everyone's tastes.

Spring is finally hitting. These are pictures from the front door. That is winter wheat green on the hill and in the closer field you can't see it quite yet but tiny onion hair is poking through the dirt. The cherry orchard to the far right on the hill is just now starting to bloom.

Dh rototilled this part of the lawn and wants to put some new lawn seed down but it has been too windy. Happy Happy spring!

Can't wait for this trip! We always have fun! I will take pictures, none too incriminating. lol

Beautiful Spring!

So Happy Easter, Passover, Spring! We went over to my daughters house today! They sent her home from work today at the hospital to be "on call" not many costumers in the CCU. She did not have the step kids this weekend so we did not plan anything for Easter. The first Lawn cutting of the season is too thick at her house for her small lawn mower. So her Daddy brought over the ridding mower to cut her lawn. I had some left over enchiladas to reheat and so we put together a nice little lunch. This is a huge Apricot tree in her yard. My goodness it is going to be a bumper crop this year. The tree buzzes with bees. Millions of them.

I had to snap this picture of one of her cats Micheal

Dear daughter loves to play with my camera. Here is her spoiled dog Splinter.

She also brought out all her house plants to hose off the dust and give them so good sun. This geranium made it through the winter on the back screened in porch.

Like I said she likes to play with the camera and take pictures of herself. lol

I only put a few of the pictures of her on. lol

And of course her Dog!

Well I soaked up my Vitamin D today. Helped (by watching lol) Dh bucket out one of the pounds and clean it up. there were still gold fish alive. They are a couple years old. Just cheap walmart fish now about 5" long. Oh I did hold the hose as I refilled it. Well I guess I did enough now back to the sewing cave. Have a wonderful day!
