Busy , busy Spring!

2009-05-25T00:03:00.002-05:00

It's been a very busy Spring for me , trying to get this yard established, with flower beds , harbors,new deck and house painted..not counting birthdays,Al's was May 20th , Scarlett's May 22 also Rhi's graduation from preschooland Al's retirement is Friday the 29th..

We have very little growing time here in Iowa so its important to get the plants established before these hard winters hit.I was disappointed today the plant shops are all getting ready to close, everything is now picked over and lots of sales BUT I am not finished..I still need two trees desperately..I hope to get them planted next week and of course something new to wear Friday :}
I have a few pic's but will have more of the finished look soon..so just scroll down I am sure they aren't in order..
This is our new fountain and the new paint as you can see we only have one window and the door painted so far!

Happy Birthday Scarlett!!

Quilt Til You Wilt!

2008-12-03T21:07:00.003-06:00

Sherry and I went to a quilting retreat back in Nov. three days of bliss.I never had so much fun, I think some of our doll retreats should try this.We stayed in cabins or the lodge if you like ( a little more expensive)
No teacher just bring you supplies and do what ever you like, some stayed up all night.Some of the ladies made thier Christmas gifts..All meals were furnished, so we didn't have to leave the building except to sleep..
I finished a quilt ,first ever and I don't even know how to use a machine, or did not until this retreat..Here are a few pic's!

Quilting fun!

They are such a delight in my life!

New House !!!

2008-07-13T17:40:00.003-05:00

Here is the new house( it is a little split level) we bought and waiting anxiously to close.This is the before pic's it will look much different went I get my grubby little hands on it, can't wait.It also has a fenced in back yard, deck and large tree like the front..
We had the floor man come to measure for carpet,pergo (laminate) floors and tiles.The prices were great so good to go.Then we went looking for appliances, we want all stainless..I needed a fainting couch after hearing his quote..we are good to go now just waiting for that closing date..

New World!!

2008-07-13T15:10:00.002-05:00

For everyone that does not know.We sold our house in Gladbrook, closing date was Friday July 11, it is sold and over...I am so very thankful, I can breath a little easier....Just as we got news we had a contract on our house, my mother fell and laid on her LR floor all night , she developed pneumonia and had to spend a few days in the hospital.I had to make a very hard decisions to place her in a NH..That meant her apt. had to be cleared out within a week of our place..then the Iowa floods come,so you see I have been very very busy, I do come up for air ever so often just to read others blogs to see how the outside world is functioning..By the way Maggie (mother) is doing well and adjusting OK we just need to find s place closer to our new home.I can visit often and life can continue..right now I feel like we are all on hold..strange feeling too..

OK, we have finally finished moving all our furniture into storage, rented a house in Marshalltown and waiting to close on the house we bought..it would be nice just to have a closing date.This is a picture of the rent house inside/outside as you can see we are really just camping out.I don't have enough energy left to clean the rent house and set up house keeping so we either eat out call for delivery, which I really like and feel so amazed that even the pharmacy delivers..we feel kind of like country bumpkins moved to the city.. or eat finger foods from paper plates..

Also just yesterday one of my favorite journalist passed away Tony Snow..my heart and prayers go out to his family.What a wonderful kind person,we often wonder why the very good die young..

Happy Birthday Scarlett.!!

2008-05-26T20:35:00.002-05:00

Scarlett, turned 2 years old May 22nd.Happy Birthday Scarlett, we love you!!

Play Day With Rhi and Scarlett!

2008-05-21T14:51:00.004-05:00

Sherry and I have been taking turns keeping the girls while Em trains for her new job at one of the local banks.Yesterday was my turn..
I had to take a few pic to show Scarlett and one of PaPa's hanks tied to her head.It got unexpectied chilly in the afternoon, the girls said they were cold ( little girl in red is a neighbor) she said she would ask her mom if they had an extra hoodie for the girls but turned out she only had the hood that fit Rhi , so she offered the little tan jacket for Scarlett.. Wellll Scarlett had a little hissy fit wanting the hood part on her head...All I could find was one of Al's old hankies so I tied it around her head ole fashinon like, you would have thought I gave her the moon she was a happy girl and went around saying hat and pointing to her head I have never laughed so hard..Yesterday was Al birthday so when Em and Tatum come to pick up the girls they brought pizza, I had bought a small cake and let the girls help me decorate and clean the strawberries ..They were so excited we was having a birthday party for papa..we had a fun day but this ole ggrand was pooped roflol!!

House built in 1861

2008-05-17T10:33:00.003-05:00

I guess I should have explained the curb appeal LOL! The front of my house has no curb appeal, so Al and I did the curb thing using landscape timber..( our most recent project) + new driveway/ sidewalk, new seamless gutters and new roof and plan to do something else to the front.
The back is really pretty with all the stone around the flower gardens and the big double deck with french door but the front is lacking.
I am from Texas and think we need a big ole front porch but this house sits too close to the 30 feet allowance to build the porch, maybe a pergola would be the answer..poor ole house has been here many many years and has been upgraded forever it is very sound and tight if you are upstairs you cannot hear any thing down and if you are down nothing can be heard up..not even walking which I like..very comfortable house , just not in Marshalltown.. and much too big for just the two of us.Are you sold yet roflol!!
Thank you everyone for your nice comments..

Spring Really Does Come To Iowa!

2008-05-15T13:50:00.003-05:00

The pic of the house shows our new curb appeal, watching too much HGTV..
Another pic of a tree in bloom, have no idea what kind ( not a fruit tree, has red berries in the Fall..and no one else around here does either..something about Texas I miss.I knew all my trees well.
Most of my flowers are on their way up, but cannot get the full effect..I have not placed any flowers on the deck or patio or put out hanging baskets just a little too cool..
I noted berries forming on my Bittersweet.. first time to have the beautiful orange berries this fall..this is the fourth year planted..I am excited..
My little bird has return to his tiny little house, he darts around so much it is hard to get his pic.this one he is stitting on top of the house..Sure wish I knew what kind , not much bigger then a Hummer..

Another Holiday Surprise!!

2008-01-09T20:44:00.000-06:00

Linda F. and I exchanged Christmas gifts, I haven't posted what I received yet but I am posting this new surprise I just received.This is flower stakes carved from metal..I love all the art work aren't they just fantastic.. pic's do not do these little stakes justice, can you see the curved stake? After I have my house all back together I will post my Christmas gifts..
Yes, the ceiling still is not finished...Jeff had put the new sheet rock up and was adding the mud for about the 3rd time sanding in between and had planned to texture that day.. he looked up and it was leaking again,that was just about the straw that broke the camels back for me..but now after lots of heartache, headaches and hard work for Jeff and Al bursting up the ice jam with hammers,heaven help I hope I never have to go through this again.. Jeff will be over tomorrow to finish up by Friday..Sherry is coming too they will spend the night,so that will be fun! The new gutters are up and I can now begin to see light!!Yippee!!

Starfish

2007-12-11T12:16:00.000-06:00

Everyone is making felt ornaments so I decided to make a starfish..This is cut from an ornament I recieved from Patti Page, this one does not have the beauty of her ornament but I think it is cute. It would be beautiful done in a pale pink or pastal color but this is all the wool felt I have (bright colors)...just wanted to share.I did mist it with antiquing to cut some of the brightness..
