Sunday Evening

Ok, I have a new challenge to myself. "I will blog at least 1 time each week." Sometimes it is hard to keep up with everything on my plate.

This week we leave on Wednesday for Annual Conference, be back on Sunday. Then we leave on 6/19 for a family reunion in Las Vegas. What fun that will be!

I would like to introduce Charlie. Chalies is my 3 year old labradoodle. He is laying on a quilt I made for my spouse, Yellow Brick Road pattern.

He keeps me company on long car rides and kept my feet warm this winter when quilting or sleeping.

As I get more practice at this I will try to include more pictures and introduce our other 2 dogs. It is about time for bed. Tomorrow is another busy work day.

Away for a long time

It seems like I have been away for a long time. I left on Thursday, 3/19 right after work to go to the Dakotas Walk to Emmaus. I got back from that late Sunday and went to work on Monday morning. Yesterday (Tuesday) I had to spend the night in Watertown for my job and worked a 12 hour day. I am ready for the weekend.


We (Frank & I) are going to the show in a few minutes. He wants to see Taken and it is on at the local theatre. It looks like a decent show, so I will report on it.

Besides spending time with Charlie (my labra-doodle) and Frank (my spouse), I also like to quilt and read. I will try to include some pictures of Charlie, Frank & my quilts in the future.

I am currently working on a bedspread quilt for my son Paul and his new wife Tami. It is a challenge since I am quilting each row as I add it to the quilt and doing it on my Brother Pacesetter PS2500, just a regular sewing machine. I haven't been able to work on it for a week now, so I am anxious to get back to it and get it finished.

I better close for now and get ready for the show.

Thoughts on a Friday Night

The work week is over and the weekend is here. That means something very different in a house with a pastor than it does in most houses. Saturday for the pastor is a day of rest and preparation for Sunday and Sunday is a day of work.

This has been quite a week. On Wednesday, I had 2 tests, an MRI and an EMG For about 2 months I have been having a numbness in my upper left thigh and the doctors were hunting for the cause. The thought before the tests was a pinched nerve, but the question was where? The tests, show no pinched nerve, just an inflammed nerve. Treatment options were cortizone shot, pills, or both. I elected the 7 day dose pack. For those unfamiliar with that, it is 7 pills the first day, then 6, then 5, then 4, etc. Only time will tell if I have a shot sometime in the furture. The doctor says it is not something that will get worse without treatment, so I will just wait & see.

Enjoy the weather for the next few days. I AM going to get my car cleaned out and washed. It is a real MESS.

How to Begin

This is a first for me. I have considered doing it for a long time, but today I decided to go for it. I don't know how often I will post, but hope to continue. Please feel free to give me feedback on my posts.
