Question of the Week -- April 16, 2017

hubby is going to town to get bbq ribs and baked potatoes for later. no cooking for me...i'm playing in the studio. haha

Quiet day here.  We'll have a ham dinner later, but it will just be hubby, me and my son.    I'm going out to do some quilting this morning.  I love the quiet in the neighborhood on Sundays.

Nothing special going on here for us - just another day, but it is sunny so I may emerge from the sewing basement and dig the veg plot.

Nothing special here, either. But it should be a nice day, so I'm hoping it'll be warm enough to spend some time on the deck.

Quiet day here also.  Spent the morning putting  mulch down in the garden.  Beautiful day for doing anything outside.  Resting right now and will be going upstairs in a few to do some sewing.

Quilting on a custom. Getting 'er done. 

The day started out great.  Headed out to Walterville to take a walk around the pond with my sister and our dogs.  3.5 miles, where the dogs can run off leash.  My last walk with my sister before she leaves on Wednesday to thru-hike the Appalachian trail from Georgia-Maine.  Just as we were finishing, Ozzie was having so much fun, he decided to roll in a great big pile of POOP!  I had to bundle him in a huge towel, drive the 20 miles home with the windows down because of the stench, and immediately peel off my clothes and hop in the shower with him when we got home.  Now that we're all clean (I'll probably need to burn his collar), we have a spiral ham and roasted parsnip fries being cooked for dinner.  Hopefully, the rest of the day will be a bit more peaceful!

quiet here too. DH is home and we have spoken to all the kids and grands. Found out that our DD will have a Phoenix layover next month! We will get to see her! That made my whole day. She has not gotten many west coast flights yet, so this is a first. I might have to meet her as she comes thru security and go all 'excited mom' on her. I have not seen her in her uniform yet.

Watching Diamondbacks play the Dodgers, signing tax returns (ick!) and getting ready to cook ham/hashbrown casserole and veggies. I might sew after the game. yay!

that sounds great Beth,

We are having Easter Dinner here, friends arriving momentarily.  SIL has been here, which is great, because she has kept DH occupied, while kids do homework and I quilt.  My part of dinner was done before church this morning, so I've spent the afternoon at my Innova, trying to catch up (I'm behind again). 

We had Easter Dinner here.  I did quilt a bit this morning while the others were occupied doing various other things.  They've all gone home now, extra chairs put away, floors swept, dishwasher has been run (for the third time today--most unusual at my house!), and I'm watching Easter Parade and waiting for Call the Midwife.

A wonderful day here.  We had a housefull -- 2 DD's and their husbands as well as 2 grandchildren.  After church DS and wife and their two as well as DDIL's parents came over for dinner.  The grands played outside (gorgeous weather was a plus) and hunted Easter eggs.  The 4 babies are 1,2,3,and almost 4.  They are little stairsteps and had so much fun together.  The last family just left, but everyone chipped in so most of the clean-up is done as well.  A blessed Easter indeed.

We had a wonderful day!  Daughter #1  was home for the weekend. My daughter is 37 but last night she dyed eggs because she saw a new (at least to us) way to do it.  It was pretty neat you do it with rice.  Today we all went to church together then after church the other daughter, her wonderful husband and my 89 year old mother came up for lunch/dinner.  I cooked a ham in the crock pot, and made mashed potatoes.  I also opened a can of cranberries and green beans.  Daughter #1 made deviled eggs with the eggs she didn't dye.  Daughter #2 made a salad and gravy.  It was all wonderful, after that settled I made coffee, while Daughter#2 bought out dessert, she made a carrot cake trifle!!!!  O my was that incredibly delicious!  

We had a quiet day - went out to brunch but that's about it.   However next Sunday my daughter, son-in-law and grand babies (2 yr old  and 5 month old) will be here.  I can't wait!!!  I'm almost counting down the hours - lol

 I did finish up piecing months 4 and 5( accidentally available early on the site for a few hours) of my TQS BOM.  Now I have to get working on quilting the quilt I have loaded for my grandson.

I spent the Easter holiday removing the floor tile and tub from my master bath.  The demolition is almost completed.  Now to start ordering all the new stuff to go back in there.
