Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to wish all of the Moms and Moms to be a Happy Mother's Day. 

I hope your day is filled with family and fun. And maybe a little sewing. 

May Retreat

As always we had a great retreat with wonderful food and fellowship and best of all friendship old and new. 

I only took a couple photos with my phone. I will post more once I upload my camera. 

This is Sharon's Pink Breeze

This is Susan's Patriotic Breeze. 

And Peggy's Quilt Shop Brick made by Annie Louise.  As you all know Peggy always has everything we have all forgotten to bring.  Thank you Peggy for always taking care of us. 

We missed some of our regulars this retreat but were very happy to meet some newbies. Glad y'all were able to come. 

Many of you may not know that Peggy's daughter has been very ill and will be going for treatments at MD Anderson. Please keep the family and Peggy in your prayers.  

It is a struggle when we are sick but much worse when it is our babies even if they are adults they are always our babies. 

Tell it to the stars: April

Another storm means another roof

Thursday night we a a pretty bad storm and was waken by a roar and vibration about 11:30-12:00. It was pouring rain and I am not sure if it wind or a small tornado, but I grabbed the dogs and cat put them in crates and stuck them in the bathroom.  The roar was gone so DH and I went to see what happened outside..  We saw the roof, well about 30 ft of it blown across the house to the front yard and it landed on the dog pen fence. Oh yea!  I had to block off so the dogs couldn't go outside and we were headed back it bed, nothing we could do at midnight in pouring rain, right...  I went to get back in bed and it was wet... Water dripping in at the seams of the ceiling tiles, so we move the bed..  Another attempt and here we go again, another spot dripping...move the bed again.. And of course it is only my side that is wet..lol.  Let the dogs and cat out of the crates and back to bed we go....

So the next morning....here was what we found..  We lost about 20 trees around our place and they are laying north, south and east....

We had to pull this off the fence to keep the dogs in..

This one fell east

This one fell north and south...  It is hard to see but the clump of green to the left use to be taller than the tree standing in the center..

Before.....

After...

So a new roof is coming....what color do I want????  I'm leaning towards Hunter green...or tan???

The maing thing is we are safe.  I am thankful to have  DH that can fix this..  And our daughter needed firewood for next winter so they came to visit and do some cleanup..
