family and two projects

Ahhhh.  

Sure loved having my fabulous siblings visit.  And all who came with them!
My arms are just wanting to squeeze them all right now as I look as these pictures.

Every time my momma visits she takes the kids on a walk
to the gas station around the corner and lets them pick out a treat.
It's tradition.  And loads of fun...loads.  No really, loads.

We did a puzzle:

(pretend I rotated this picture for you.)

Just something on the table for people to sneak away for some contemplative quiet.

'Twas a fun Thanksgiving weekend.  

I was sad to see them all go.

But after they left I got busy and fulfilled one of my "When the kids are in school..." projects.

I sewed the curtain for my bathroom.  

I felt uncomfortable in there with no window covering even though it is just woods out side.  

But someone could be in the woods you know.  

I'm sure it happens.  

No worries!  Now I have a pretty curtain.

I'm looking for 2 pictures or prints to hang on the walls now. 

One behind the toilet and one in front.

I've been working on another "When the kids are in school..." project.

Tomorrow morning my buddy and I are running a half marathon!

You'll remember two years ago I walked this same half marathon with my man.
(He's running it too, but I'm not making him stick with me on this one.
He can book it.  With my blessing.)

This year we have been training and training and I'm planning on running the whole thing!

I've got my energy beans and am eating pasta like crazy.    

SO!  If I survive, which I'm sure I might...

I will see you back here soon with a time and maybe a picture.

Gotta love my family!
