I'm baaaaack .......

One short week seemed like 2 weeks.  Hubby and I made a quick trip to Florida to see my family.  My sister from New Jersey traveled to Florida to visit with her new granddaughter and Bill and I decided to headed on over there to see her.  (Like Texas is a short hop to Florida???).  We left last Sunday and hit rain all the way through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.  It seemed like we were in a car wash for 2 days, that's how hard it rained and why it took that long to get there.  Anyway, it was a great visit with my two sisters (one lives in Florida) and my big brother.  Here are a couple of not so good pictures.

The day before I left, I made a large lap quilt using 1 package of a layer cake  (about 40 pieces of fabric that is 10" square).  I finished the top in ONE day.  Easiest pattern I've ever made.  Here is a picture of it:

My one day lap quilt - just need to put it together then quilt it.

 We can't forget my celery.  It needs to be planted now.  Hopefully, I should get it done by the middle of this week.  It's looking good!

Bill got the lawn mowed today.  It was real high in spots and brown in others, but it's looking great.
My granddaughter has surgery tomorrow and I think I'll head on down to the surgical center to be with my son while the operation on her knee is taking place.

If I didn't lead such a boring life, I would have more to write about!
