house hunting and fabric shopping

Yesterday I met with my realtor and viewed several homes in the Chiloquin area that is know as Oregon Shores. Most of the places we saw had a nice view of Agency Lake which is just at the northside of Klamath Lake,  Well I'll tell you I found a house to die for but no view other than the back of the neighbors homes and had no fencing or yard at all. A couple of others that had a decent view off the decks but houses need tons of work to make livable.  Then I found the perfect place for me and it even can come furnished.  Seeing how I have nothing that was a big plus and the furniture was gorgeous!  Only problem with it was about 25,000 over budget.  So I am going to see a coupe more tomorrow and then I'll put on my thinking cap and make some kind of decision.

My son and daughter in law got me a gift certificat to the Fabric store and today after we worked out at the gym I hit a sale.  I got 3 different fabrics for quilting and then 3 yards of muslin and a couple new square rulers for quilting and also 3 yards of stiff interfacing for some projects I am working on to sell.  Everything was 50% of or more.  I got one fabric with a coupon and then 50% off for only 1.50 a yard.  Wow!  all my stuff was only 52.00 and I saved 46 dollars.  I still have money on my card so I should stay busy sewing for quite a while. Yippee! get to shop again,

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves
grooming Cheech and Chong to keep them friendly has become a daily chore. The calves now are about 350 pounds and were starting to not want our company so now I brush them and have created a monster with Cheech. I have discovered he loves apples and carrots. Chong however wont even smell the goodies. Now Cheech stands in front of the front porch moowing at me for his treats. After I give him his treats it is hard to get back to the house and he is very determined to find more in my pockets.
