welcome home

Last weekend we went to the Mule sale and show and I was interested in the cast iron cooking demonstration.  They made biscuits and stuffed chicken breast, enchilada casserole and a great bread pudding.

Then on Monday evening I went to our Mother Hens house and housesat for week while she went to the coast.  She took her dog so it was so quiet at her place and I enjoyed it very much.  I worked on a quilt and finished to top while I was there and took care of her 6 chickens.  It was great to get away and relax but it's always good to come home.  This was how the calves showed me just how much they missed me as I was trying to unload the truck when I got back.

 Gidget was so happy to see me , she wouldn't leave my side for 2 days.  It is nice having her little body on the end of the bed at night. What would we all do without our pets?

Girls Night Out

Well last night some of us Klamath Falls Charming Chicks went to the Ragland Theater to see The Four Bitchin Babes and their presentation of Diva Nation.

We started the evening with "Margaritas" at El Palacio then walked to the theater.  We were treated to a wonderful evening of comical songs, stories and music. It was great to have our own time together. We need to do this more often.

Cutsie Apron and placemats w/napkins also

Now that I have shipped everything to her I can share with you what I have been doing.

Sewing for my Daughters birthday

These are the pillows I have been busy making for my daughters home.

Enough Already!!!

I am not whining but come on now, this is enough.  I went to Calif. last Thursday and it was in the 80's and came home Sunday to lovely weather here in Klamath Falls and then today this is whats going on.  Not good.
My daughter in law gave me two beautiful camelia trees and Mary and I planted then in two lovely large containers and put on on the deck, well I just went out with hat and gloves and jacket to bring them in.  Not easy as they are very heavy.  I have to save them as they are not going to make it in the cold. I did expect when summer is over to bring them in but not now.  We have temporarilly placed them near Billy Birds' cage and he would love to get out and climb on them.  That's not happening either.  I know that this is just going to make us all appreciate the warm weather that much more when it finally gets here.

April Showers brings the snow?

Well, this is what I woke up to this morning.  Not Happy!!! Good for farmers I guess and will delay the stickers in the yard for a while.  I am leaving tomorrow for my sons house in California.  I might have to wait and leave on Friday if we get another night of this.  I am driving down to Lodi and picking up a u-haul trailer and coming home Sunday with all my posessions and storing them in Klamath Falls for a while.  I will be so excited to see my grandaughters as well as family and friends.  Haven't seen anyone since Christmas. 

Charming Chicks Meet

Well, last Sunday the Klamath Falls Charming Chicks had a meeting at one of our sis chicks house and it was so wonderful I have to tell you all about it.We met at Susans house and she has a llama farm, However she also has emus and pygora goats and angora rabbits as well as a large variety of chickens.  She turns all her animals hair into fiber and weaves it.  She also teaches classes on Fridays about spinning and fiber and needle felting.  It is so interesting.  She also dyes her own fiber.  She served a delicious lunch of fresh salad and fruits and cold cuts and  cheeses. We had champayne or wine or teas to drink.  Then the piece de risistance was her fudge.  It was so good and a variety of nuts ,she doesn't use sugar but sweetened condensed milk.  I want that recipe!  I always used the See's famous fudge and I like Susans' better.

The animals were all so cute and friendly.  The spun fiber is so very very soft. The rabbits to me were the softest.  What a great day we all had.
