Good Evening World!...
Hi everyone and Greetings from Paradise!
..I'm Bored with TV tonight so decided to blog after over 6 months..
I am thinking of making a hero cape for little Jase...think I'll make it out of some shiny
mylar that will make him see it easily.  will work alittle on it tomorrow.

We sold our 36 foot- 5th wheel this past week.  Strange to see it go down the road without us in it.  They were really nice people that bought it and they will enjoy it for along time, I bet.  Mack kept it in great condition.  Life moves on to the next phase....maybe tent camping?

Got 2 quilt tops done today 8-26-16  They should have been done 2 or 3 weeks ago...but had other things going on that put me behind schedule.  Now they are ready for batting and backing and then onto the longarm for quilting.  hope they turn out as cool as I anticipate.--they are 2 august wedding gifts. LOL.

TJ--grows Sunflowers alot now.  I think she should plant fields of them next year! she has the capabilities to do so!  she loves her garden!

thought this was really a funny thought...made me laugh.. I have never taken a strong sleeping pill except when I couldn't sleep after loosing Bonnie Jo for about 5 years.  I found the best solution to non-sleeping patterns for me was using Kava Kava tea before bed, or sleepytime extra tea...or Coral Calcium for sound sleep.  still use them once in a while now.  GLad that part of my life is better....as it was not too enjoyable.

the final "desired" product for the wedding presents!

this was last weeks progress

did get both quilts edges put on this week with piano key triming.

my grandson trying to drive his little car!  his big brother in his car...

a new (to me) picture of Bonnie Jo holding Teresa Jo that I had never seen til this past 2 weeks. My cousin Dianne Corzo took these pictures long ago and I never even knew they were taken.  It was a great gift of her to share them with me on Bonnie Jo's 40th birthday this past month..I got a few surprise Stories from her friends too! that is the best gift a mom could get!

I'm in this one also along with her girls..Bonnie Jo was so grown up and TJ was so small. I do like the way I wore my hair here...will maybe try for this style again..haha..thank you Dianne for thinking so kindly of us and sharing your library alittle with us.  Mucho appreciated.

Molly sleeps alot now...she is 14 1/2 now.  blind, deaf mostly, but still struggles to stay with us each day.. such a love and she is so sweet still..

I might make a cape for my Son too! still not decided on that yet.!

this is a dish towel I saw this month--think I can make one for our friends at Floatilla Wednesdays.

I'm propagating 25 starts --- of these hydrangeas --got the starts from my Church here in Paradise!

they are beautiful deep blue! hope they all make it to adulthood.

Almost made it to Siskiyou Golden Fair this year--maybe next year!

almost went blackberry picking with Teresa Jo too...we had such a wonderful visit!! enjoyed her company so very much!

Looking forward to seeing Jase, Eric, Nicole, Jayla & Marcus next month.

so very very ttrue...saw shooting stars in Big Springs while visitng  TJ this month!  it was so awesome!

another molly shot

I'm trying hard to prefect my wardrobe--now I have the time to work on things.--although this week I was running alot and only sewed alittle on monday and friday!  I run every chance that comes up. Guess I;m secretly bored!

should have had this sign when my kids were growing up. it was a farm house life in Big Springs!

need to make this one for in our bedroom!  haha!

I got to see Tader Patch Quilts in Merrill, Oregon this month!  was awesome!

TJ and me...she is so beautiful! miss her so much!

TJ killing flies with the "A Salt GUN"~~she kept hitting her leg and it stung!

it does kill flies pretty good!

Her new foot stool--Otttoman--episode--

It only took us 5 minutes to get into this situation on A-12 at the 3-Jays gas station. Ken Joling came out of the station and said that we would get a ticket ~~ lucky we didn't! We had no choice~~ as Mack had already taken off for Medford, Oregon to pick up his expensive Kayack!!

Good Evening. World!... Thursday April 7th, 2016.

  Well--- got a face time call from Eric and Nicole this evening--- great seeing them and little Jase is growing so darn fast--- crawling and trying to stand holding on to furniture now so it won't be long. He is 8 months now -- just can't believe that much time has passed already. 

  Since my last entry I have been back to Virginia when Jase was born last July --- and also when he turned 6 months old too!  Both visits were 3 weeks long and enjoyed the luxury of the trips going for so long.  

   We were in almost gonna buy 2 other houses til we finally settled on 1690 young ave, Paradise, ca. 

It is soooo wonderful to be in a house again and we have been settling slowly the last 2 weeks  and just trying to remember where I put things is a miracle when I remember where it is!  We still have to buy a couch and a kitchen table/ chairs and a small desk for my studio. It's all coming together and I feel so thankful each morning when I wake up and we are here.  We went to Yreka twice in the last 2 weeks to pick up our storage stuff and still can't find a few important items in my karnex out in big springs at Teresa Jo's house. Those travel days were exhausting leaving at 5 am and returning by 6 pm and thankful to have great weather and see the mountain again!  Only got to see Teresa Jo for a few hours and that was great in my book!  

    

       I will just have to go back up for another visit sometime in early May to look again for a few items I couldn't find last time. 

This is the part I am missing here-- it is in storage somewhere---lol

Little Jase looking so precious! 

This was Eric -- Jase's daddy at about the same age. You can tell the similarity completely! 

This is Teresa Jo at our Easter visit this year. We had lunch at El Zanguin in Yreka !

Eric and Nicole got to go see Monticinello in Virginia at Easter this year

It looks like a huge place to learn about president Jefferson's life there! 

Here is a link to a house tour of the inside of our house-- it's on u-tube. 

It's a little long and not planned out-- I got side tracked making dinner and forgot the camera was on--opps.... I definitely am not a photographer , that is for sure!  

Hope you can kinda get a feel for the new dwelling here.

A little extra event here--

      Today we went to a local nursery looking at potential yard plants etc... And as we left I went over to look at the Bonsai display and have been contemplating buying one in memory of Bonnie Jo's 17th angel-bday this year  (August) --- just find it so hard to realize 17 years have wizzed by !  I found her old journals while moving ( I have keep them in our safe) but just haven't had the nerve and courage to read too much of them. Welllll,..... I did this week for a few nights stayed up late and sure enjoyed being in her presence -- it's just almost like being with her again.  Thank you Bonnie Jo for sharing your heart then ----- so I could enjoy you now.   I guess that was all it took for me to be more alerted to strange things that happen when we least suspect it.... For right as I was admiring the Bonsai plants--- wind chimes started sounding in the nearby gezebo and I really couldn't detect a source of wind. It definitely was beautiful and strange all at once. I thanked the lord for the reminder that she is so close to my heart all the time. She was just making sure I didn't miss that opportunity of her passing by me. Thanks sweetheart! 

So that about catches up my life-- in my end of the world. !!!

Love you all

Till next time--- BJM
