Happy Mothers Day

I am looking forward to a day of leisure and having KFC for dinner!

I have been back to Seattle twice since I last blogged. Last weekend, Colleen and I painted our hearts out for two days and only finished her bedroom and dressing area. And that after she had already washed and primed!! We decided she needs to purchase better paint for the rest of the apartment. Two coats and it still didn't look so good.

Ken and I spent yesterday afternoon at Colleen's doing odds and ends. Ken reversed the doors on her refrigerator, put the table and base together, and put the mirror on her dresser. I unpacked a few boxes and supervised!!

We have done a bit of work outside and we have purchased a few plants for some of the containers. The rhodies are just starting to bloom and the dogwood is almost in full bloom.

I sneak up to my sewing machine whenever I get the opportunity, but the last two days have seen me ripping out more than I am putting in. I am trying to finish the small project that I started as a result of the class I took in Spokane two weeks ago. To look at what I have done, and ripped out, it is proof positive that I can't tell front from back, left from right nor up from down. No one can sew two pieces of fabric together in more wrong configurations than I!!

Rod and Karen will be in the area from Monday afternoon until Wednesday morning so we are looking forward to their visit. And Bob and Sharon Jayne will be in Centralia the last two days of this month so we will have them up for dinner.

Our summer travel plans have changed a bit. In light of Brian and Sheila's schedules, we are going to wait to go to Virginia the end of July and be there for the first part of August. Those dates work better for everyone, and that allows Ken to return from his Alaskan fishing trip before we go. But the best part of all is that we will now be able to hop since we will be flying together both directions. Yahoo!

It is bedtime for me. Ciao
