Merry-Go-Round Quilt Top



I finished the quilt top. I bought the material at Just Sew (Linda and Alice's quilt shop). Now I need to buy a backing and quilt it. It will go on our bed under the bedspread. It was fun to sew again. It's good therapy for me. The pictures don't do it justice. It was a fun one to do. I have material to start another quilt top but need to pick out a pattern.

New Dresser




Sue gave me her old dresser while she is upgrading in her bedroom. Thank you Sue!!! Jared and Jason used their muscles and brought it over. Thanks guys. I have taken over Nicole's closet and Sue's dresser. That's one thing about this house it has little closet space but I still love it!!!!!!!!!! I moved her desk up into the den and put Don's computer on it and got rid of the white computer table that was there.

Salsa


I made Salsa this year thanks to Linda. She gave me Carol's recipe and it turned out soooo good. Mom was a big help. She helped me peel the tomatoes. It's been years since I last made salsa. Next year I'm going to use tomatoes from my garden to make salsa.

Leonardo da Vinci Museum






This week I took Bridget, Steele and Neil to "THE DA VINCI EXPERIENCE" that was held at the mall museum.


It had more than 60 precise and interactive replicas of Leonardo da Vinci's transportation, military, and mechanical devices along with his greatest paintings.

Think Spring




I'm already planning a great vegetable garden for next spring. I had our tree guy come dig out the tree stump in the back yard and the pine tree on the corner in the front yard. I am left with lots and lots of rocks. I've been screening the dirt and gathering up tons of rocks.
I planted some tulip bulbs that I purchased at Thanksgiving Point where the pine tree stood.
I started attending a 6 week garden class given in Provo by a master gardener for two hours each Tuesday. I'm all excited about a great garden in the SPRING!!!

Clock



As everyone knows I love clocks. Ray says I have too much "time on my hands." Any way Debi in her travels found this antique clock and she bought it for me. I reimbursed her for it and set it on my dresser thinking it didn't work. Well Steele got in a fixing mode and decided he was going to get it to work. He put some electrical tape on the cord and then plugged it in. He got a big shock. I told him that no wires could be touching so he re did it and it works. He's my fix it guy.
