Well......I'm sorry the Texas Rangers didn't win the World Series, but I'm proud of them anyway! Wish I could say the same for the Dallas Cowboys! Oh, but there are lots more important things than Pro Sports, right? So forget that! Right!!
I've been busy as a three-legged cat in a sandbox the last 2-3 weeks! Getting ready for an Estate sale (my sister's) is no fun, but lots of hard work! I should have done it a couple of years ago! Fortunately I have two friends who have worked tirelessly with me, and we are almost finished and plan to have the sale before Thanksgiving. Now I have a lot of "stuff" at my house, but my sister had even more! Enough about that for now; I'm tired of fooling with it all! (Sorry, Ruth, no vintage patterns!)
I think it's time for a break! I and the girl friend who has helped me so very much are leaving Tuesday at 6 AM on the church bus, headed from Texas to Branson, Missouri, for four days. For those not familiar with Branson, go to http://directory.branson.com/listing/guide/shows to see a fun place! I'm not sure what shows we will see, but I do hope we get to see the Gatlin Brothers, and maybe Andy Williams. I think there will be about 30 of us, and we are really looking forward to it. I just hope I can get my things together and get to the church in time to catch the bus! Actually, I hope I get to go to bed tonight----sometime! *giggle* Still have lots to do, but I did get two batches of cookies packed for munching on the way. I made a little pillow so I can sleep some on the way. (Dream on, right?) I don't think I've been away from home overnight since last November when we went to Branson. We went to the Veteran's Day parade and program, which was wonderful, and we will do the same thing Thursday this year. It is one of the largest Veteran's Day celebrations in the nation.
Then the next week is the Estate Sale, and then Thanksgiving the next week, and that's when I begin Christmas decorating and parties, so as you would guess, there will be very little, if any, sewing/quilting until the New Year! I don't like that idea, but I do love Christmas! *grin*
I'll try to catch up on blog reading next week! Keep up the good work, everyone.

Aren't you the social butterfly! Have a wonderful time, and good luck with the estate sale.
ReplyDelete(PS. I don't really know who the Texas Rangers are, but then I reckon you wouldn't know who the Geelong Cats are! *wink*)
Oh, do enjoy yourself! The quilting and housework will still be there later. You gonna hit a couple quilt shops too?

The trip to Branson sounds like it will be a lot of fun and a nice break from all the work you've been doing. And though you won't be quilting much when you return, Christmas parties will be a fun subsitute! Enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip, sounds like you deserve it! You have been working hard even though it has not been much fun, it will be worth it later. Branson is so much fun! We spent a week at a reunion there a couple of years ago and my SIL's live about an hour away from there so when we visit we make a day run up there sometimes. Enjoy your trip, all of your holiday parties and plans and sewing will be a calming reward in the new year!
ReplyDeleteYou're a busy woman;) Enjoy the holidays, and if you find yourself getting stressed, do break out some quilting...even if just for a few minutes;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Quilting!!
I hope you have a wonderful trip. Soemtimes it's best to have a change of scenery. -Joanne
ReplyDeleteYou need a break, so have a great time! My sis & cousin just went there and they really liked it.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Branson, but heard it's alot of fun. Enjoy your trip. Connie204
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking I should be poking you! Glad to see you back.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your Rangers, but what a run they had!
Enjoy your trip! I'm sure you will!

Good luck with the Estate Sale. I hope you had a lovely time in Branson, and enjoyed the journey, as well. Have you ever posted pictures of your Christmas decorating? I think I can safely say that we would all love seeing some photos.
