Here we sit waiting patiently for a new grandbaby to arrive. I could be any day now.... Lots in the family know what kind of baby it is going to be. Steve and I don't so it will be really fun to find out girl or boy and the rest of the details.
I haven't blogged for such a long time. I have finished a few quilts, just small size. One is for the bingo night for the Ladies Club. The next, the one I worked on at the Ruby Valley retreat, and the third a cute watermelon quilt. Can't wait to get them back from the quilter, and get the binding on them. I have also just about got a fall pillowcase for a body pillow completed. I need to sew on 54 small red berries on it and get it sewn up and insert pillow. Hopefully this afternoon and evening.
Baby shower planning is going great, we have a day and time finally set so it's a go. Sara W. from the refuge has agreed to let us give her a shower. There are so many babies being born now. Sara, Meghan, Nancy, Erika in December and probaby more, but not here in the valley.
Just gave Tyrel a haircut, and now I'm all prickley. I don't know why 37 years ago I thought it would be a good idea to give the men in my familly haircuts. I really don't want to, don't do a very good job, always at a strange time for me. What was I thinking. Today's wasn't that great. for some reason I left a little Mohawk place on the top of Tyrel's head. He gave me the what for and went and fixed it himself. Maybe he will do his own cuts from now on. He is headed to Winnemucca tomorrow for a rodeo.
I finally won. My name was drawn yesterday at the moving group. I didn't have many tickets in there, but after many months of nothing, my name was finally drawn. I picked a gift card from Cucina Fresca out of a bag for my prize. I'm so excited to go peruse the store for something I need. Maybe chocolate??
I've been checking prices for fake christmas trees on the internet. I don't think I want to put a real one on my new carpeting. Steve is not quite sure about the idea. What will he have to complain about. I will have to get some good smelling pine scent for the house though. We'll see what happens.
It was good to see Dennis and Pam in Elko. They were out for Dad's 78th birthday. They are looking good. Just got back from Lousianna visiting Lacey and family. We did get to see some videos of Lacey's and Gina's kids. They are sure cute and growing . I don't know why kids have to grow up so fast. '
We voted, by mail, not the same as going to the community hall and visiting with the election workers and casting my vote. Was sorry to see that Harry Reid pulled it out again. I thought sure he would be defeated this year. Steve wrote a wonderful letter to the editor. He didn't type it though, so didn't get it published. I think that's the reason. I''m surprised at the number of republicans that endorsed Harry Reid.
We started sewing and project day at the church again a few weeks ago. I have been getting some project a little farther along with an uninterupted day at the church. There has been lots of visiting going on too.
The weather has been lovely. The rain was great. The sunshine a warmth the last little while delightful. Maybe some nice calm snowstorms in a little while will be the frosting on a great fall, and start to the winter.
This has gone on and on now, so I think I will stop. Maybe some pictures next time.
