This was my hubby’s gun cabinet that was no longer in use. I painted it, got new glass cut and whaaalaah, I now have a quilt storage cabinet. Most of these quilts are my Moms, with the exception of a couple that were my Grandmother’s and one that my Great-Grandmother pieced for me. Some of these are older than I am. I am so happy that these are displayed and no longer in closets.

Blonde, if I get all of mine done, I will head your way! You would fire me, cause you would be running circles around me!
Excited for you and all of your expectant grands! You may have to share some with me. I hope you get to make that trip to Texas soon. She will be happy to get your package, I’m sure.
Please say a prayer for my oldest sister. She fell last week in her yard on some concrete steps and cracked her shoulder and broke 3 bones in her wrist. She is going back to Dr. tomorrow. I am going to help her get dressed to go. Bless her heart, she is really bummed that she is going to be down for 6 weeks. She loves working in her yard.T-Lynn, Happy Birthday! Sounds like a fun day! I am just taking a small break, and am planning on going back to work. I am trying to get some things done here at home before I start a new job. Also, we are planning a trip out West to see our daughter and son-in-law. We like to take about 2 weeks.
We had some storms last night and are expecting more tonight. We didn’t have any damage, just lightening, wind, and mega rain. My son had lightning to run in to his TV and security system. He said that the lightening hit a tree in his neighbor’s yard and caused his damage. Hubs told him yo be thankful that it didn’t hit all of of their appliances.
I hope all of you are well. Will try to send a picture of one of my projects.

Kim, hope all is well with your son.
Miss, if you get all your projects done come this way, I have Plenty of projects.
T-Lynn, Glad to hear you had a Wonderful Birthday and that you're doing so good with that new knee. Praying the other one is Soon and just as quick a recovery. Congrats to Son.
Our weather is on a 3 day rotation and NOT a good one. More rain then snow this winter, we'll get a good sunny day about once a week then the winds come and the temps. dropped and UGGG YUCK!
Texas family is Finally communicating more. Talked to daughter for 2 hours and 15 mins. last Saturday, just like old times! Tahlia sent me a voice mail about broke my heart. Nana, I MISS you and Want you to walk through my door right now! (with all the drama too, even stomped her foot.) LOL and then she says, oh well, it was worth a try, I LOOVE you Nana. I sent a package out for her on Monday, so can't wait till she gets it. I miss that girl something fierce. Sadly all her long weekends are spent with her Dad. And he gets her for her birthday. We had discussed flying out for the weekend, now we'll have to try for after her birthday. So hard with both of us still working. Boss is taking off Memorial day weekend BUT she'll be with her Dad. We might just have to wait till the 4th of July :( Might get to see my other 2 earlier then I thought. (YEAH) Also adding 3 more! Connor's Dad is marrying a nice lady with 3 kids, helping them move into their house this weekend. Also going to a Baby shower for a nephew/Godson another Great-Niece is on the way!!! Jane (adopted daughter) is due in late April and Sara (adopted daughter) is do in early May both are waiting to see what God Blesses us with.
I think that is all for now, Office is humming, I have 3 practitioners in today. So, I'll say Bye for now

HI !!!!!!
Oh Kim - how good to hear from you. I too hope for the BEST MRI results. And that you are having the a wonderful fun/restful vacation !!!! Hugs.
Miss - i thought you were retired? I must have missed something in a communication. But I have been doing that of late. Seems what I read and what my brain decodes has been two very different things. I blame it on the weather. If I blame my age - I'll have to admit getting old and not maintaining that I am a Recycled Teenager.
BTW, I am officially 68 now. BD was 2-23-23. And I had dinner out with a free dessert. And gambled! I won and I lost, but what fun!!!
Glad your weather is better Miss - it is cold - damp - and an over cast of gray - STILL ! Its been weeks of this. Kinda dulls one's spirits. But the Spring birds are flying in and there have been 4 different species of birds checking out the nest in the Maple tree near our deck. Spring is here - just need to feel and see it.
Good news form sailor - he has moved into the Officers Bachelor's Barracks, so he is saving money now. But no letter from step granddaughter stationed in Pensicola. I know she must be busy - so I should write her.
Otherwise doing good with new knee - I see another doctor on March 31st to see about he right knee. Just think I will could have matching new knees soon. Then I can really mess with those x-rays units at the airports!
Need to get - still have things to get done before grandson gets home from school.
Hugs.
Sending positive vibes - Hugs

Kim, praying for great results for your son. I am so glad you are heading to Florida! I hope you have a great time and lots of R & R. I understand exactly what you mean about “hanging it up”. I just told my hubby that I am totally enjoying being off. I do have a job prospect, but it will not be full time until late summer. I am tackling some projects that I have been putting off forever. My sister and husband thinks I will be a hermit by the end of the summer. LOL!
TLynn, sounds like a fun Valentine’s Day for you and hubs. We went out for lunch and had a great time.
It has turned cold in the South! It was 75 this week and I was loving it. We had some spitting snow this morning. I am so ready for Spring!

You ladies have been busy. I have been keeping up reading but not responding.
First. I hope none of you live close to that train derailment in Ohio/Pittsburgh. That sure is scary. Please check in Ohio moms.
I live near Philadelphia. Still a little bummed about the super bowl results.
My husband has been in Florida for the month with my sister and another couple. We rented a house. I fly down Saturday and will drive back with them. Chris, I sent you a friend request so I can send you a message.
Today my son has his MRI and I drive down to Maryland tomorrow to get the results. Please say a prayer.
Work has been really hectic the last two months. It's almost time to hang up my hat. I sure can use this 2 week break. Everyone needs to post an update so I have reading material on the plane.

Hubby says, it's a WE time! Shaving is optional. LOL
it's a dress up and leave home date night. hors d'oeuvre at 5:30, Supper at 6 and comedian at 7:00. Unless the weather warms up ALOT even if I wear a dress I'll have leggins on under it. But I always feel more adult/grown up/Fancy if I shave my legs.
Leaving for Columbus in 1 hour and 17 mins! Can't wait to see those Grandbabies, it's been 3 weeks! Talked to Tahlia last night, she wanted to know what my tag said. hmm I'll be watching the mail box closely. Call lasted 2 mins. and 14 seconds. LOL She got her answers and said, Okay goodbye!
Hope you all have a Sunshine weekend and lots of hugs. Our high is 15 today with wind chills below zero But I know my HUGS will warm me up!
tata for now
