Mother's Day

We were on the way to a Mother's Day brunch when
we came across this guy out on a ride with his DOG!
Can you see the little pug with his head sticking out
of the pack on the back?
He was loving it!

Here is a picture of the fam on Mother's day.
Dang!  It looks like I'm shrinking!
I thought that happened when you were an
old lady!!!

On the quilting front:
It's been awhile since I've posted
pictures of the quilts
I have worked on.
It's not like I have not been working,
it's just that I have not had pictures to post!


Here is Barbara with her t-shirt quilt that she
made for her grandaughter Mia.
I think that this is Barbara's 7th t-shirt quilt
in 2 years.

Here is Joan with her 2nd t-shirt quilt.
This is for her grandaughter BriAnn.
Barbara is Joan's teacher!

Jennifer came to pick up this One Block Wonder quilt yesterday.
I quilted a Garden Branching type of overall pattern on the
center of this quilt and a really pretty leaf vine on the black frame.
This quilt will be used as an auction quilt to fund
a trip to Uganda.
Jennifer is going there to teach nurses how to help in the birthing process.


This is Liz's quilt and will also be used as an
auction quilt
for the same Ugandian project.

Yet another auction quilt!
My friend Kathy made this quilt and we
will be donating this to our friend Tana who
is raising money to walk in the
Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer walk.

Guess that's it for now.
Time for a bike ride.

Mother's Day Surprise!

On Saturday I was invited to spend a delightful afternoon with two of my favorite girls in the world.....Jenny and Jen. They wanted to take me out for pedicures, a movie, shopping and happy hour. We had a fabulous time. We also managed to run over to Jenny's new house to have a look around. And then there were some mysterious phone calls..............


And when we arrived back at MY house I was told that something was really wrong out in my garden and I really needed to quickly go out and look!

Of course what I found was a yardful of wonderful friends assembled by my sweet husband to surprise me for my 50th birthday!!!!!!! Which by the way, was actually 2 months ago!

How Many Times must a girl be reminded that she is FIFTY!!!!!??????





SURPRISE!!!!





Many dressed 50's style with rolled up jeans
and hair slicked back
.
Jen's grandma made her a poodle skirt for the occasion!





My dear husband and master-mind of this surprise
kept everyone's glass filled.
He bought a Margarita Maker especially for this
occasion. I'm anxious to try to make some Sonic style
smoothies with it this summer!



There was plenty of food from BobbyQ's
on the back porch.



Rafael and Jen filled plates with cake and ice cream.

Mike set up 4 banquet tables in the pool area.



It was a great night and it made me feel really special that my husband would plan this and so many friends and family came to help me celebrate. AGAIN!


Sunday, of course was Mother's Day!
So I got to spend another whole day with my family!




God has richly blessed our family with love, and laughter
and health and good times and lots of wonderful friends
and I am soooooooooo very thankful!
