Happy Mother's Day ... To Me!


Tonight I unboxed the new machine. 


While Gabbie and I were out and about yesterday we stopped by Walmart and I picked up a cutting board, ruler, and a rotary cutter.

When I checked out at Walmart and realized how much I'd spent, plus the new machine, I thought maybe I had over-indulged a bit; but then I remembered it was a lot less expensive and more practical than the Mother's Day I bought myself a motor cycle!! 

Maybe tomorrow evening I can put the machine together and see how he sews (yes, he; he is after all a Brother!) 

I also picked up a little more fabric. I'll show you that when I get started on the new project. 

But first, I have to show you the project I just finished. 

After I take pictures of it. 

Tomorrow.  In the daylight. 

Stay tuned!!


And ........ here's what I got from my kids.

An awning for my door from BoyChild (because I've only been asking for one for a couple of years)

BabyGurl and SIL did some yardwork for me ... and got me a bracelet/watch.

And of course dear sweet DIL is taking good care of our Sadie for us!!

 And just for fun ... 

My kiddos... a few years ago!


Comments from BoyChild after I posted this pic on facebook:

BC:  Good looking carpet.
Me:  Thank goodness the carpet is gone, but I still have the table!
BC:  I'll crawl back in it one day and you can 'pic stitch' the two pics together.

I think I am gonna hold him to that! :-)

Cicadas ....

Made this short video Sunday to see if it would pick up the sound of the cicadas.  It did.  (It also got a little of BoyChild's music in the background).

Mother's Day Cookout ...

We had lunch in the woods today, at the clubhouse where BoyChild and BabyBrother are both members of a hunting club.  BoyChild and his g/f, brought burgers, dogs and all the fixin's and BoyChild did the cooking.  It was very good, and especially nice for my Mom not to do the Sunday cooking today (she typically cooks every Sunday for all of us).

Just down the road from the clubhouse, there's a beach!



Ma and Pa walking from the beach back down to the clubhouse. 



We didn't mind the smoke, it kept the skeeters away. 



Oops!  He almost dropped (another) one!



They even brought dessert!



BoyChild wanted to make sure that I got a pic of his sound system.



I'm pretty sure these boys have never 
ridden anything without working on it first!



Hmmmmm ... I wonder what plan they 
could possibly be master-minding this time?



BabyGurl and Nephew



Just hanging out after lunch, before riding.



My dad, pretending to text -- he makes fun of us 
for always checkig our phones / texts / facebook.  



My gift to my mom ..... and I picked one up for myself too!




I hope everyone had a happy Mother's Day!!
