Friday Flashback

Anyone remember May Baskets? When I was growing up in Iowa we would celebrate May Day by making May Baskets ,filling them with candy and flowers. Then we would hang them on friends door knobs,ring the bell or knock and then run. If the recipient saw you they would chase you and kiss you if they caught you. It was such a fun holiday.But alas after I married and moved out of the mid west no one did it. When our children were small I tried a couple times but neighbors seem to think we were weird so I gave it up.

Two to Go.

Done, one more quilt block for the cowboy quilt . Two to go.
This block was a real hell march,so many small pieces. The center block is a fancy cut rearing horse head but it's kind if hard to see. Except for that I think it turned out quite nice.

Jenna's Prom

Picture of granddaughter Jenna with DDIL Cheri, and our son Brent. She looks so pretty. I think this is the first time I've seen her in a dress since she was seven years old!

Some quilting and More.

Here are the blocks I've done for the quilt I'm working on . The laser cut horse and rider I bought at a shop hop in Oklahoma two years ago. Each of the surrounding blocks are Indian or frontier related. I have three more blocks to do .More pictures later.
About my fall I mentioned earlier .I had been talking on the phone for about an hour I jumped up and my left leg was asleep I went right down on my FACE. It all happened so fast I didn't even have time to put my hands out. But didn't break anything just banged my knee and my face.
Our son Brent signed me up for face book wasn't real enthusiastic about it but he insisted it would be fun. About a week on it and I reconnected with my best friend ever. We were best friends in junior high and high school. After we married we both moved away from our home town and lost contact for FORTY YEARS. It's so great to get caught up. The strange part is her children had to push her to get on face book too. Like it was meant to be.

Amazing Race!

Son Brent and Granddaughter Christi interviewed for the amazing race here they are with Phil Keoghan. Hope they get to do it.

I was thinking after a while one just runs out of things to say . Then started thinking not much has happened around here except... I found my best friend I'd lost track of forty years ago, dyed my hair ash blond,turned green! And fell on my face, just for starters. OK,OK, there are things to write about I've just been lazy. I have to go now have an appointment for a bone scan,will fill in the details later.

Can't believe I haven't blogged since the 8th. Just been busy I guess. I'm trying desperately to get this quilt done for my sister by her b-day April 28. Here are some of the blocks I've done so far.
