It has been over a week since I've last written and we have just been on the go since the last time I've written.
So let me back up and see if I can fill you in on what we have been doing since then.....
Friday, Jan. 9th we went to stain glass class.....the class is beginning to fill up with others..... I worked on my jewelry and also cut a 12X12" pc. of glass I guess I should say I "tried" to score it in a circle using a circle cutter..... Our teacher did the clear sheet of glass for me showing me how to do it.... being almost lunch time she left me on my own to do the creamy blue sheet.... so I got most of it done but didn't get the complete circle done before it chipped off..... so when she got back we did something different.... so we put it in a paper towel and hit the glass with a hammer...it cracked into pie shaped pieces! I put it on the clear glass pc. and then it was fired.... it fused together and now it will go back into the kiln and laid on top of a fluted bowl to "become that shape"..... I can't wait to have it done!
Bill continued to work on his projects and he moved his things home so he could work outside when he has time.
Saturday,the 10th we spent most of the day around here and going to the store. We went to see the movie "Gran Torino" ...it was great! Typical Clint Eastwood but it was so good!
Sunday, we went to church then headed over to see Bill's aunt and uncle.... we had a great visit with them and enjoyed seeing them and their daughter and granddaughter...who we hadn't seen in a long time! We stopped by Camping World before we went to their house also....
Monday, Jan. 12 was a working/sewing day for me and Bill worked and messed around here too. He can always find something to do it seems..... even if its napping! :) haha!!!
Monday night the Activities dept. showed a free movie"Mama Mia"....it was really good and the music by ABBA was great!
Tuesday morning we worked and after dinner we went to play Joker with our friends..... I went to ceramics in the afternoon and cleaned and started painting the planter....
Wednesday, after work I did some laundry and ran to Joann's ....
Thursday afternoon I had made a chiropractor appt. at 3 so we made a couple of stops before then and Bill and I both saw the chiropractor...he was pretty good..... Bill wasn't as far out of place as I was.... they have massage therapists in their office so I had a massage while waiting for Bill...it was great! I had never had one before..
Friday morning after work I went back to the chiropractor to have him check me out and he popped my back again...it feels much better. Since it was Bill's birthday we went to Famous Dave's for supper with Bob/Jackie, Gary/Angela for supper. I stopped by the stain glass class and it was so full I decided not to stay. 16+ people in that room is too many! But I got another idea for something else to make!
Saturday morning I went to 4 other gals to a lady's house to take a quilt to have her quilt it..... it was really neat to see her process of how she decides how to quilt it. She has a long arm in a seperate room where she works.....
After that Jackie and I were going to go to a craft show at the Suprise Stadium ...the guys decided to go with us and we needed to stop at Walmart and Joann's so we did that.... lunch followed and we stopped at a couple of quilt stores and never did make it to the craft show..... we went to church and then over to Bob/Jackie's for spaghetti. After dinner we came home and I cut Bill's hair. That was our day!
Sunday we left about 6:30 AM to head West to Quartzite! What a day and experience that was! I have never never seen so many rocks of all different sizes,shapes colors and everything else that goes with them... Quartzite is a desert town that houses about 600 people every other month of the year except during January when it grows to about 100,000! It has a huge huge huge flea market during the month of January and peeking with a rock and RV show this week.... Wow! What a sight to experience....people with RV's were parked right out in the desert without any hookups .... not sure how they got water unless they carried it in..... just too primitive for me! and not to mention the dust dirt and "creatures" too!
You just have to experience that once! Well, we did! :)
Today after work I went to sew and finally got the main part of the quilt I am working on done...I'm going back tomorrow morning and hopefully get the borders on so it will be all completed and ready for the quilter. I got home around 2:30 and we went swimming...it was gorgeous today! I did water aerobics and Bill relaxed in the pool and hot tub...the water was like a bath! It was fantastic! We came home and sat outside for a little bit before fixing dinner....so that about catches us up for now...
Until next time!
