May Baskets...

Remember doing May Baskets...I think I may do a couple for the two little girls that live across the street! I think I could work that into my schedule!

City Wide junk pick up day tomorrow!

I have been busy all evening...taking up things from the basement and clearing out the garage for Free Junk Pickup tomorrow. I had a pile (picture not my house, but close) oh my goodness...the neighbor across the street took most of it! I am sure her husband will be upset! Then more people came and my pile is almost gone...I can't believe it. It rained all weekend so I had to wait to put it out...I had boxes of garage sale stuff that had gotten wet...these people didn't care! I guess the saying "One man's junk is an other's treasure...I don't care everything is gone! Now to work on the stuff in the basement that isn't mine! :)

Rain Rain Go Away...

Yes ...talking about the weather; it has rained the last two days....and more rain all week...I think the drain must be plugged! Any suggestions on fixing my little problem... (picture from last summer...but it looks the same today!)

Project for today!

This is something I bought over a year ago....but just figured out how to sew it. I got some "Quilter's Grid" from Holly's shoppe! I will keep you updated how it turns out...wish me luck! (This was for Crystal...doing the baby shower for Ella...maybe I can give it to her in May :)...do you think!

My new favorite picture...

Murder trial in Charles City!

The news camera's are in town....big murder trial...may last over a week. It happened at Tori's...sad but I had forgotten about it. We had two employees that were on jury duty....we were lucky we had only one serving on the jury!
I am so glad that I wasn't drawn for the quarter; I hate being called for jury duty! It is so hard...you know me... I believe anyone and what they say!

Clock Stolen...

I have had the clock on my garage for almost 5 days....it was great...had time...temperature....and the other thing! Sounds crazy but it was nice to see the time from anywhere on the deck ...from the bathroom....leaving and returning from work....but someone else must of needed it more than I did...the sad thing is you could only see it from my house...so they were in my backyard or else live next doot...so why steal it! Because it was mine and not theirs! Neighborhood is changing...


Update: When I stopped home for lunch it was on the back porch...I guess I have to take back the nasty stuff about the neigborhood!

State Auditor tomorrow; I am ready!

The State Auditor will be in my office at 8:30 tomorrow morning...I hope that she is gone by 5:00 tomorrow afternoon! I have everything ready and hopefully she won't find anything incorrect!

Update: Only had one mistake of $8.00 and it was from DHS for a client Participation! I wished it was perfect but I guess close is OK!

Just in case you were missing Max...

Today Max was driving me crazy! But I would miss him if he wasn't around; he doesn't like it when I work too many hours...

Easter

Ella had a great Easter! Joe, Dorothy and Ella went to church and then out to lunch. She is one spoiled little girl (or very loved as I like to say) and she got a load of gifts from Grandma, Aunt Meredith, and Aunt Karol! It was hard for me to be at work and missing all of this, but I am thankful Ella has a great daddy and grandma to be with!

OOPS! I meant to post this on lovingthemountains.....but I clicked on the wrong blog! enjoy!

I love it!

I wished I could make this for Ella....the fabric is beautiful and Love the matching dress!

Wishing we were together....

Brochure for Stitches...
