Sewing Room's

Yesterday , I read Jenny's blog about her sewing room, and it made me think about sewing space's and rooms and decided to share my own room, I am not done with it but I am enjoying it. I have several projects going on right now and one of these days I am intending to take pictures of the things I have done and things that are in progress. I love sewing and knitting and crocheting and cross stitching, that one I am still learning . I am taking on a big project with that one soon, an Afghan which is very big but beautiful , I will take a picture when I get it started. I am in the process of making more chemo hats for the center, a baby blessing dress, a cross stitch baby blanket, and 2 quilt tops at the moment. As they say "busy hands are happy hands" and my hands are busy! LOL. But I do enjoy doing it and would be lost if I couldn't .
So what is your favorite past time or talent? Maybe you have a new one that I haven't tried my hand at. Well what ever it is I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.

Love to All

This is Emery, she is a 2nd grader living with us and her mom Katie. She is a sweet little girl, a little on the shy side , but very bright and playful. She loves school and people but can be stand offish. She seems to be adjusting to being out here with us but misses Conn. a lot and especially her grandparents and aunts that she left behind.

When she got here she wanted to know what she should call me and Bruce, since we are so use to being called Grandpa and Grammy , we settled on calling us Grammy Kat, and Grandpa. First names for a child just didn't fit, and Sis and Br. Cat just was to formal. So we have a young one once again calling Grammy Cat  around the house. But for all my grand children out there, Grammy is still your grandmother and I miss you all so very much. :)

Katie and Emery seem to be settling in well. Katie has applied for a job in the school district and we are hopeful that she is hired on. It would be good for her because the hours and days would be close to Emery's. Katie seems to know what she wants out here . She even took the bus to Wal-Mart yesterday, and seems to be enjoying her adventure. We are happy to have them  and will help in any way we can to be able to help Katie get settled . Things are going very well.

As far as other things going on around here, well not much. It has been very HOT this week here, we are getting our heat at the end of summer thing now. But since it is the end of Aug. and Sept is right around the corner, it won't last long. It has been a nice summer, plenty to do and I have enjoyed it. It took a little while for me to adjust to not having kids around but we did it. Now we have them around again, and that adjustment isn't taking long at all.....lol... I guess that is our lot in life , to have a house full.:)

Well, that is it for this post I think. Hope this finds you all doing well and enjoying the tail end of summer.
Love to all,

Our extra's are here.

Katie and Emery have arrived and we are happy they are here and made it safely. They both are tired and trying to adjust. I think Emery is going to have the most adjustment as she misses her grandparents a lot, but we will try to make their stay as comfortable as possible, especially for Emery. She is only 6 years old and I can't help but believe it is hard for her to understand all of this change that has been made in her life. Any way all is well and it feels no different then having our own kids down stairs as we are so use to having some one living down there. Kids, Grammy Rose, adult children with out kids.... we are thankful for such a large house. Well , that is it for tonight so until next time... goodnight All.

Date Night

Friday night hasn't always been a date night for Bruce and I , but tonight we decided to use some gift cards we have had in the cupboard for months and even years at one of our near by restaurant. The Timbermine , it is a steak place which isn't our favorite food but they also have the best Salmon and Shrimp so that is what we had. I had steamed veggies with my Salmon and Bruce had fries with his shrimp. It was really tasty.After eating we went for a little drive in the Jag. and came home. Now we are settled in for the evening. The weekend has begun and we are looking forward to just hanging out , hope your weekend is a nice one too.

Love to All.

Lazy Tuesday

Well, thought I should get on this an say a HI to all my fan's. The summer is flying bye and before we all know it , it will be Fall (my favorite time of the year). As I look back on this summer it has been a nice one, a little on the quiet side at times, and a time of adjustments in our home. We haven't had grand children around and big children around much this summer except for our son, Chris, who has kept us on our toes now and again. I think we keep him on his toes too much of the time, trying to keep up with the ole folks as he so lovingly tells us. LOL.... Any way it has been a good summer. I have connected with golf again at the "boy's prodding" this summer, we have taken some ride's in the Jag. with the top down every time :), and many day's have been just plain quiet. But that is about to change a little around here, in about a week and 1/2 we have a friend coming out with her 7 year old daughter to stay with us for a while. Katie and Emery will be here on the 18th of Aug. She is looking for work and Emery will be going to school, they are going to rent our down stairs for a while. We look forward to their arrival, and I am looking forward to having a  "girl" friend to do some things with again since my other "girls" live so far away now. I guess all in all things never stay the same and we have to be thankful for all we have. We are glad to be able to help Katie as she gets on her feet out here.
Well, guess that is it for today. Hope all of you are enjoying the last days of summer.

Love,
Katrina
