They say a Storm is coming

You couldn't tell by looking out the window right now. We have the first sign of sunshine in several days...a little windy but No Rain right now. It's been raining off & on for several days now. And if it isn't raining then its foggy. Hopefully after this last bad storm, we will get a few days of nice weather. Especially since Kelly & her Aunt Tammi are going on a field trip tomorrow with her school class. They're going to visit Sauder's Village. That means lots of walking outside. I really wish I had an ON-OFF button to control when I want the weather to happen~~I drive a van that I deliver disabled people to and from their work. So, TURN OFF when I need to take everyone home. Turn back on when I get home. Turn off again at 8:ooPM to watch "Survivor" (we always lose our electricity when the good TV shows are on). Turn back On at 9:00. Turn off again around 3:00AM so everything will have a chance to dry out before tomorrow.~~Hummmm just a thought!!
Okay, I'm going to get all my complaining done first!

Yep... I was driving along, singin with the radio, when***KABAMM***. I thought somebody had shot at me. I was checking my chest & arms and realized that I was still alive and no one had shot at me. Then I looked around and saw that huge chip in my window. "What the #@*?^<\!!!!!" (I'm not Ms. Nicey Nice all the time, LOL). Looking in my rear view mirror, I saw a County Dump Truck go whizzing by. He must've had a stray rock fall off and it had to hit my windshield. All this happened within seconds. Good thing for Insurance! But I may wait a few weeks till most of the roadwork is done. Alright, I'm done complainig. Now onto some good stuff. I hope all the Moms that read my blog had a wonderful Mother's Day! Mine was Terrific!!! Look at all the plants I received from my kids and grandkids... Image and video hosting by TinyPic

My whole family went out for dinner a couple of days earlier.
Mother's Day was a bit more special this year because my Sister Renee decided to get Baptized on that day. My Mom, my other Sister Brenda, her son's family and Renee's family, all went to a special service at her church that Sunday morning. Then most of our families went to my house for a carry-in dinner. Each one of us sisters received one of these cup & saucer flower arrangements.

What a Beautiful Day!!!
Well, they just lifted the tornado watches and they say the storms won't be as bad as they suspected. Geessh! It's like "the boy who cried wolf" with these weather predictions. No one is going to believe these weather people if we ever do get a bad storm. But I'm glad it is going to blow over.

I better get to cookin some supper! Later

It's been a whole month??

Oh my!!!!!!
What have I been doing?
It could be that I've been busy getting my new raised garden ready to plant. I still have to put some mulch down between each tub, to keep the weeds down. But this should help out a lot. It doesn't look like much yet. I'll have to post another picture when things are actually growing.

My new strawberry plants seem to be doing alright.

Or it could be that I was doing some alterations on a prom dress for my son's girlfriend's daughter granddaughter-to-be. She was so beautiful. And her dress turned out so lovely.

Or maybe I was just busy helping the dear Hubby and his friends. We are adding on a pole barn addition to our garage. Mother Nature is not helping us out to much with the rains. I must admit that my help is only consisting of handing them a tool or letting them know that something doesn't look quite straight enough. I do seem to be sent to the house alot, to get a cold glass of water or something. LOL

But I haven't been doing much sewing or blogging!!!
I will have to remedy that situation soon. So I apologize for not keeping up on my blogging visits. I have a feeling that is going to happen quite often this summer. Please don't forget me! I will pop in as often as possible....I PROMISE !!
