There are 2 spots left???

Hi all my Stitching Sisters and friends, We have 2 spots left for our annual stitching retreat that takes place every year at Brentwood on the Beach, on the beautiful shores of Lake Huron. It is situated between Grand Bend and Bayfield. We arrive on Friday and we stay until Sunday some of us longer. We never want to go home. The cost is 325.00 and includes breakfast and dinner. We never need lunch because the meals are out of this world, delicious! Let me know ASAP if you are interested. As we have to finalize everything very soon. Let me tell you it is like heaven on earth and you will want to stay forever..... Feel free to look up The Brentwood on the beach on the internet. It is one very special place. ~Happiest when stitching~

Round barns!

I have always loved old barns, I take photos of them all the tim. I grew up in the Eastern Townships in Quebec, Canada. It is a very beautiful place. It is in the southern part of Quebec that borders on the northern part of Vermont USA. I recently found this photo of a very unique round barn. Can't wait to go back for a visit andf I will be on a day trip to take my own photo.
I am off to stitching tonight, looking forward to it.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! We celebrated with our family yesterday at my daughter's home with all the family, except for my grandaughter Chloe. She has a very bad cold and flu. Today my daughter Sarah and her family go to her husband's family Easter gathering. Today it will just be my husband and my mother. It will be very quiet time as my youngest daughter and her daughter are both very sick with cold and flu. That's the way it goes sometimes.
I hope everyone has a good day with their families and that you all enjoy your Easter time with families and friends.

Birthday April 1st

Yestersay was my birthday and my great friend Barb took me to see the Elvis show in Niagara Falls. It was one of the best Elvis shows that I have ever seen. I have seen a lot!

The good looking gentleman that played Elvis is Steve Kabakos, he is from Ontario and has many awards in Canada and at Graceland. He is sooooo good, as Jolo says on American Idol he gave me goosies!!!
If he is in your area go and see the show it is fabulous.
It was a great way to celebrate my birthday that is for sure.

I am back!

We went on a vacation and we had a wonderful time getting time to blog has been a challenge. I have had a lot going on, but here I am. I am going to post a few photos of our holidays and hopefully soon I will have some stitching to show you. I am still stitching Christmas ornaments I just can't get into a large project yet, but I will soon.
The mustang convertable was a rental, I gave it to my dear hubby for Christmas in his stocking. All four of us were pretty excited. We drove from Fort Lauderdale to Miami along the coast. Oh what a good time we had. The next day we were on the Ruby Princess for a week of cruising. The Fab 4 have been friends for almost 55 years. Oh the stories I could tell, maybe another day or maybe not.

Happy New Year 2012!

Hi everyone, sorry so long since my last post. Holiday time is always very tiring for me. This year was better as I had lots of help in getting the house decorated and I have to say that on Christmas day my daughter Rachel and her husband Steve and my two beautiful grandaughters came through and helped with the cooking and with serving of Christmas dinner. Now the house is back to normal and we can all look forward to 2012, The past year has has had more downs than ups. I lost my dear Auntie Thelma, she was 90 and it was her time to go. In your mind you know this is true but in your heart the pain is still there. We lost my mother-in-law in November, this has been very hard on the whole family. In December my Aunt Glenna suffered an anuresm (spelling may be wrong) she is in hospital and the outlook is guarded. So yes I am looking forward to 2012 being a kinder and better year.
DH and I are going on a cruise with our best friends Debbie and Channing to the Caribbean. We are very excited about that. We have been friends since grade 1. We went away with them a few years ago and we had such a good time. We are so looking forward to this one infact Debbie and I are going shopping today.
So on that note I am leaving DH and the the dog to take care of the house and away I go down the highway to spend some money!!!!!
Have a good day everyone.

A photo of me and wrapping day! Wow I think we bought too much!

My Mom, she doesn't look her age does she? 80 years young!

December 2011

Wow December is passing by in a flash, I work in retail so it is always a very busy time. This past week end my DH and I were working on the house trying to get it ready for the holidays. My son-in-law installed new ceramic tile backsplash in my kitchen, it looks so very nice. But messy going in. DH and I went our for dinner Saturday evening. Sunday was a quiet day we slept in and then spent the rest of the day doing pretty much nothing. I did stitch some finishing up one more ornament.
Now I am off to work. I will check in later.
