Terrier Town...A Little Late...

Hi There!

     Well I said I would be back with some progress on My Terrier Town BOM so here's another month for you:

     The middle dog shows up much better in person than she does in the picture.  I made it light to represent my son's dog.  She is about 5 years old and God could not have made a less intelligent dog, but that's part of her charm and we could not love her more.  We have thought that if she were a person she would probably have severe ADD.  She cannot even grasp the game of fetch.  We tried so much to teach her and she will happily run next to my dog and watch, but try to teach her alone and you end up will a bunch of toys at the end of the hall after she has run down to them and then comes happily back to you without them.  We have seen her run into doors and walls while she is watching something else.

     Enough gushing about our pets!  So, I have another block all fused and ready for applique so shortly there will be another block to show you.

     On another note my daughter got a job at JoAnn's and she could not be happier.  This may be dangerous for me however, but first I will need to see how big her employee discount is!  But honestly, I am very proud of her and I know this job is a good fit.

Make sure you do something that you love today!

It's Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

Hi My Lovelies!

I know it's been a little bit of time but we went to the great state of Texas to see if it was a place we could retire to and to visit some of hubby's relatives.  Although we thought Texas was great, I think the extended hot weather would bother my mom too much.  So the search continues.

What I am so excited about is something very silly to a lot of you.  Let me back up a little, my dad was a fantastic gardener, grew lots of veggies, especially tomatoes.  That gene did not pass on to me.  I have tried and can do ok, but, nothing to write home about.  So I tried a new brand, called German Girl (I figured since I was German the plant would feel a sense of family).  Two tomatoes so far, over a month later, but they are some great tomatoes!  Look at the size of this baby...

I will say that the tomatoes sat and sat and once I left the state and my son took over they turned red!  I still maintain that I did most of the work and that it was just dumb luck that they "happen" to ripen when I was not home.

My next post will be to share my Terrier Town progress.... I am keeping up so far!

Until then make sure you do something you love!
