The Circus

Well the babies went to the Greatest Show on Earth and boy did they have fun. They saw Lions, Elephants and Clowns. They had alot of fun with there mom while I got some alone time with my hubby. As of today he has 8 days until he leaves me for I do not know how long.

This is a picture of 2 of the babies. Wicket Elizabeth and Sasha Marie. They are looking for trouble I am sure.

I got to go to the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Show last Saturday and the Quilts were wonderful. I took Pictures but did not get all the names so will not put them up on my blog. I loved them all and got so many good ideas.

I am wotking on cutting out pieces for some hand-pieced quilts. They are things that I will be taking with me when I go over to Kuwait. I am also planning on taking some new books with me to read.

Hello to All

Michael and I (pics above) have decided that this is going to be a good way to communicate with family and friends after the move. I will post all of my Quilting and the good books I will get to read when I have some pice and quiet. Right now I am doing my spring cleaning and getting rid of alot of stuff. I am selling a lot of my books on Half.com. I have so many different kinds of craft books and most have never been used why keep them. Let someone who will love them and use them have them. I have 3 days till Michael is home and then I will have 16 with him before he flies to Kuwait to set up our household so I can join him. We have a lot of celebrations to do while he is here. Both my granddaughters birthdays and he will be here for those but my 50th b-day and our 30th wedding anniversary he will be gone for. All of this happens in March which is a busy month for us. But, next year he should be here for his once a year trip home.

Good-bye to MB

Well 2 of my daughters helped me take their father to the airport. All of us girls tried real hard to be brave but we all started to cry. Alyssa just wanted to go with her Opa. He called me after he got thru the security and he told me good-bye.
I miss him so much and I do not like to be by myself. He knows this and does not like to leave me alone. This will be the best thing for both of us as he is getting a great job and he will be happy.

A birthday Get Together

This is a pic of my 3 girls. The middle one was the birthday girl. We went out to dinner and had a lot of fun.
Below is a picture of my youngest granddaughter. She always has that cheesy smile with eyes closed.


The pic to the left is of my oldest granddaughter. She is so pretty and when the braces come off everybody better look out. On the right is my whole gang and are they not all cute. It was a great birthday and all had fun and good food.
My Artsnthemail letter L. L is for Leaf. I finally got them all out the other day and am now actually ahead and plan to stay that way. K is for Keyhole. I really thought they turned out good.
N is for Needle.
M is for Muffin.
I am so happy and am glad that I got done. They all turned out really good.

We are back with Boeing

Well Friday was a wonderful day at our house as my husband is back working with the company he has been with for 19 years before the lay-off. He spent the day at Langley Air Force Base filling out all of his paperwork. He will now leave for St. Louis on Tuesday for a few weeks of training and then he is off to Kuwait. I will follow after he has found a place to live and such.
Today is my middle daughter Krista's birthday. She is 27 years old today and it was just yesterday it seems when I had her. They were swearing in Reagan as President and the Hostages from Iran were being let go. She was the only girl born that day and the nurses wanted me to name her Reagan. My mom got to name this daughter so Krista Michelle was born. It is also the birthday of a dear friend the late James Grey Boling, Jimbo to all who loved him, who died in 1996.

Going Back to work at Boeing

Well my hubby got a hire date and we are trying to get ready for him to leave. He must go to Langely Air Force Base to get all his paperwork filled out and done. He will go to St. Louis on Tuesday January 22. He will be there for at least a month and then he will come back here and then onto Kuwait. I will go over in a couple months. I will miss him so much but I know it is for the best. It is only for two years and we will get to see the world.
My grandmother Hartzell had a birthday yesterday. She turned 97 and is in good health. She has dementia and does not remember much but I still love her and send her cards all the time just so she knows. My mom loved her mom so much and I promised I would not forget to keep in touch. I need to go and see her this summer and I do hope that I will be able to.
Krista's 27th birthday is next sunday and we are planning a big dinner. It will be a birthday and good-bye dinner. I am hoping all my kids and will be there. I will also invite my dad and Barbara. Oh well will write more as the news comes.

Happy New Year

This is an update about the progress of going to Kuwait. We have been waiting for a medical clearance for my husband. He was just diagnosed with diabetes and had to get it under control. So he has been on meds for a month and doing really well. So we hope to get the clearance really soon.
I am working on my PC's for artsnthemail for swaps K, L, M, & N. I am trying to get all of these done so I will finally be ahead. I really hate being behind. But with all this stuff with Kuwait I have been overwhelmed.
