Dear All
Just discovered this morning how to make tickers...went on a friends website and got busy and learned..haha. it is cute! you can do it with vacations and birthdays etc. kinda fun!
Can't remember how long it has been since my last entry..a couple of months or so I think. Since last entry..I have gone down to visit Teresa Jo the beginning of October and enjoyed seeing where she lives and what she is doing there. We visited the Hearst Castle and had a blast there. Mack and Molly stayed home. Wendy went down with me as her Dad and step mom Beverly have a timeshare there and so she was able to enjoy the weekend there with them while I visited with Teresa Jo and on Saturday and Sunday Nancey and Amy from San Diego came up to visit also. It was alot going on but such fun. I actually had Friday and half of saturday with Teresa alone and all day Monday also before we left. Took many pictures and movies. Still am sorting them out.
I had to work 10 days before the trip straight...and 9 days after straight just to get the time off to go. What fun that was...so now I am enjoying a 3 day vacation off work this weekend for the first time since I got home. Have to catchup with house cleaning today and try to do something that I want to do...like sew.
Eric called about 4 days ago and we got to catch up alittle. He says it is cooling off now there and he is staying busy. He takes Sundays off usually and trys to rest. He misses home alot, I think. We miss him extremely and hate to think that he is so far, far away from home til next June or July. I am hoping to rent a house at the coast for our vacation this next year and invite the whole family for a reunion there. It has been 2 years this next year since our last family reunion in Hawaii. I am hoping that Kristen and Christopher and Loretta & Bob and boys will attend. Have to get busy and find a place to rent and decide on location exactly. Hope that late summer will work for Eric and that he will be home by then.
Can't think of much else that is new. Mack is still busy playing his banjos when he is off work...and we did attend the Plymoth Bluegrass festival in September too. That was a good time and we enjoyed it tremedously. Took molly also.
I finally finished Teresa Jo's quilt and took it down to her. There is a picture of it that I downloaded here for you all to see. It turned out lovely and she loves it alot. I am proud of it too! we are still tweeking it alittle with a few names on the hearts that had to be changed but it is 99% done. Makes her feel good and close to us here at home. Her doggie "Skitts" is a perfect angel there and never puts up a fuss when we left to do something else. She is a doll of a dog.
Guess that is all for now...will think of more later...
Bye, bye! love you all BJM
