time to catch up again!

I swear I don't know where the last 2 weeks have gone but we have been busy! So sorry for not writing sooner but every day I KNOW I should update this blog but I never get to it for some odd reason or another......

So in the past 2 weeks we have kept the boys each weekend at least one night....they have had fun staying with us and we certainly enjoyed them. This weekend we will keep them both nights so they can bring out their bicycles and 4 wheeler to ride..they loved doing that a couple of weekends back.

We have gone to Lawrence also to look for some more things to take and also store more things we don't really need. I found a tub of MORE "unfinished" sewing projects and so I sorted them out and I have high hopes of finishing them this winter.....

We have new tires on the truck so we are all set to travel.... they sure ride smoother than before! Guess it was time! Sure hated emptying the savings acct. for them though! haha!!!

Last Thursday I spent the day at the Fabric Corner here in Topeka embroidering "Sew for Red" on canvas bags for the Am. Heart Assoc. It was fun to do and I enjoyed getting my embroidery module back out again after being put away for several months.

This past Tuesday, I had some dental surgery done on my 2 bottom front teeth that were receding..so now I am sporting stitches on the roof of my mouth as that is where they "harvested" the tissue for the front teeth... so besides stitches on my teeth and the roof of my mouth..... I am now realizing how much of those muscles you use daily! :) I will wear these for 2 weeks then hopefully they will be healed... I am cutting everything up and eating slowly.... ever cut a hamburger up into small pieces for yourself and not a child?????

The weather here in Kansas has just been gorgeous! The evening's and nights are cool but the days have been wonderful! We hope they stay that way until we leave on Sunday, Oct. 19th.

I have been busy sewing also finally finishing some reversible placemats that I started with my friend, Nancy's, help. It is a quilt as you go and so when they are done all I have to do is add the binding and they are done. One side is fall and the other side is Christmas..... I had hopes of getting my quilt done for our bed but guess I will finish it when we get to Az.

So that about wraps up what we have been doing ...this week has been very hectic with the dentist and then today I saw the eye dr. Going to try contacts again..... its been almost 4 years at least since I've worn them so we will see how well I can adjust in a couple of weeks!

We are doing great and Bill has been holding down the fort while I have been going here and there....

I will try to do better.....
until next time!
stay in touch!
