Happy Valentine's Day

It's already the middle of February! Valentine's Day was my Dad's birthday. My grandmother would always bake him a heart shaped birthday cake for his birthday. He passed away in March 1992 at 80 years young. He lived a happy and active life until then. He hated going to the doctor and I think he would have lived many more years if he had seen the doctor earlier when he had pnuemonia. Well, I can't change anything so I might as well not dwell on it.

I finally took some time last night to do some sewing. I got my computer room/quilting studio/etc. room, cleaned out enough to be able to sew in there. I make such a mess in there that I end up having to move my machine to the kitchen in order to sew. Then the kitchen is overwhelmed by my sewing supplies and finally have to clean up everything.

It's a rainy day today so maybe I'll do some more time in my room sewing. I don't know what to work on, but if I don't think of anything productive then I'll make some pincushions. Never can have too many pincushions. Right?

I let too much time pass between posting, that I forget how to do it. Now that I've figured it out, I don't have time left to type! I have a Block of the Month class to go to this morning and I still have to get ready.
I'll try again soon.

I'm back

Yes. I'm finally posting again.
My life is not interesting enough to blog everyday. In fact not even every month! It's the end of November already. November is special to me because I am so thankful for my children. We heard about the possibility of adopting our son (Ryan) in November. He was born in January so it was a wonderful 2 month time for us preparing for his birth.
My daughter, (Lindsey) had her 17th birthday this month. I can't believe how fast time has flown since our two kids came into our lives. Our son came into our lives after 13 years of marraige when we adopted him. We had suffered 2 tubal pregnancies and 2 miscarriages before an angel from heaven presented him to us. She was an unmarried high school student that was seeing my doctor and opted for adoption. Thank God! I do mean I suffered too! It was agonizing to remain childless for all those years. And when we found out I was pregnant we were elated, only to lose the pregnancy a few short weeks later.
When our son was 7 years old and the thought of a baby had long been forgotten, I got the idea that I just might be pregnant. Well I waited another month before taking a home pregnancy test and even when it was positive I didn't believe it. The blood serum pregnancy test at the hospital confirmed it, but it took me a long time to finally believe that I might actually give birth to a baby. Well to save a lot of typing, she was 6 lbs. 6 oz. and now she's 17 years old! We've been married for 38 years now! My how time flies!
Now it's almost Christmas and I need to make-sew-quilt 4 gifts for quilting friends, 5 gifts for co-workers, and 1 baby shower gift. I better get busy. I'll let you know next time how I'm progressing.

Took me long enough!

Well, it took me a month to figure out how to post another message! Can you belive that? Not that I was working at it very much. I just looked at it a couple times and finally figured out I have sign in so I can post something.

By the way, I did get my daughter's room painted and also a desk. I'll take a picture some day when I figure out how to post a picture. Don't expect it very soon because my camera is at work in my drawer, and I don't know where the liitle cord is to transfer pictures from teh camera to the computer.

I've wasted enought time today relaxing, so I better get myself going and get some housework done.

This is my first attempt at blogging.
What am I supposed to write here?
I took a vacation day today to finally get my daughter's room painted and here I am messing with the new laptop computer instead of getting started on the painting. Oh well, I guess vacations are supposed to be for doing things youwant to do. Right?
