Monday and today

I was suppose to go see my shoulder Dr. yesterday, didn't realize my referral expired, so now I go Friday morning.

So Rick and I went shopping instead.  He was off from work anyway.  We went to Home Depot to look for blinds for the kitchen and dining room.  We actually found what we wanted, took down the info to come home and see if we could find them cheaper online.  I couldn't find the same ones or even any close to what we wanted, so I checked HD prices out on their web site.  I ended up getting EXACTLY what we wanted cheaper than the store and no S&H charge.  Yippee!!

We then went to Target to look for curtains for the dining room (my soon to be bedroom).  We found some, bought what we wanted, came home started to hang them only to realize the one panel was flawed.  Rick exchanged that panel today for one we can use. We will hang them tomorrow evening.

continuing on Jan 18...
Shannon has exams all week, so she only goes 1/2 days to school.  We ended up going to the, barn so she could ride.  She has been leasing a horse named Riley for almost 2 yrs.  Now, however, there is a horse called Bo at the barn for sale.  We are planning on buying him as a project horse for Shannon and in a year or so sell him for a profit.  This means we are stopping the lease on Riley, she's bored with him as she bored with him and can't really 'improve' him more than she has in the last 2 yrs.

I cut out my Antique Tile block yesterday, here's a picture, I still need to sew.

I also cut out my Brasstown Star.  Today I plan on cutting my Calico Puzzle and Dutchman's Puzzle.

My husband is going to bring my sewing machine down so I can try to sew them with the machine and not by hand.  At least I'm progressing!

It just started to snow, it won't stick cuz its too warm, DARN!!!

Have a wonderful day,
Jesus loves you,

weekend

Our weekend has been productive for a change.  Rick has finally put Tristan old computer desk in the study and has begun to clean the 'dining' room of all his office stuff.  After that is cleaned out, we will put my bed, dresser, leather chair, tv, and cutting table in the 'dining' room.  Most of my things have been in the 'living' room for ever, or at least that's what it seems.  What we have always used as our living room, should in fact be the dining, since it's off of the kitchen.  It is a big room thus it became the living room.  It will be made into a real dining room.

I really don't see a need for a semi-formal dining room.  We have a large island and that what we use to eat on.  I am the only one home during the day, so I can eat anywhere.  When my family came here for Thanks giving a few years ago, we set up the table in our foyer.  I don't see why  can't do that if we have a lot of people over for a meal. 

I watched the NFL football playoffs most of yesterday and will watch the 2 games today as well.  Yesterday the first game was New Orleans Saints vs San Francisco 49'ers. The Saints lost.  Final score 32-36.  I was decided in the last minute of the game.  Then my team (New England Patriots) play the Denver Broncos at home.  The Pats won 45-10.  I felt sorry for the Broncos.  Both games were great!!

Today the other 2 games will be played. First:  Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens.  Then New York Giants at Green Bay Packers.  Another exciting day of football ahead.

I spent some time ironing the fabric for my ABC quilt, at least the 1st five blocks.  I'm sure I will be able to use the extra fabric from those blocks to make a few more next 3-5 blocks.  After, they are cut-out I will see if I can physically sew on my machine or if I will need to hand sew the blocks.   I'll deal with either even if I'm anxious about the sewing part.  God will help me me with everything as He always does.
I have a Dr's appt in the morning with my shoulder Dr.  Hopefully we/he can come up with a plan for my shoulder that doesn't include more surgery.

Rick and Shannon made lasagna for dinner.  Yummy!

Have a great day.
