In the Car for Christmas

I will head to my son's home for Christmas and get in the car to come home on Christmas day.  The drive is well worth it.  There is nothing I would rather do on Christmas than spend it with my kids and grand kids.  I cant wait to put my arms around them and tell them face to face that I love them.

Visiting Santa

My Daughter-in-law came to visit and brought my grandson.  I took him to Pear-Park to see Santa and ride the train.  We had a blast.  When he saw Santa he let go of my hand and ran up to Santa with his hands in the air yelling Santa, Santa, Santa!  We got out picture with Santa then went to enjoy a Cinnamon bun and juice.  On the train ride my grandson waved  and yelled Ha, to everyone.  When the ride was over the man running the ride said he had never had a child so enthusiastic and that he even had fun on this trip.  After a few hours of shopping we ate lunch and went to join his mother.  I live for day's like this one.

It is back

The desire is back to start quilting again.  It didn't go away but I just didn't have the energy.  I pulled out an old jacket and realized how worn it is.  I believe I can quilt over it and make it look like new.  Quilting over an old jacket could make it warmer and give it a new look. 
Time will be a problem but if I work ten minutes a night I may finish it by next November.  I am ready to start again.  I also realize that I never published the picture of the sleep cap I did last year.  One more project to finish.

Celebrating Thanksgiving in Gainesville, FL

Thanksgiving was wonderful this year.  I spent it with my children and extended family.  My son-in-law's brother brought his girlfriend who is a vegan.  She was sweet and brought a wonderful squash side dish.  I was happy that we didn't go shopping the next day.  I know you can save a lot but I don't like the crowd.  God has given me a lot to be thankful for this year.

Who can't get a job?

It is going to be good to have two days off from work.  I was watching the news and it made me mad all the people that are living on us working people.  I have never had a large income but I was able to support myself and my two children by working two jobs.  The children didn't have all the popular toys and clothing but we had love and fun.  Instead of going to a movie we went for a bike ride or the library.  Yes our clothing came from thrift shops or family hand-me-downs.  No my X was not the type to pay child support.
We made it by being thrifty, doing without, and working hard as a family.
I am proud of my children and they are successful, hard working adults with excellent morals.
Hard work is good for you. 
To those that want a handout get off it and get a job.  It will do you good.

Was it a scam

I called my local property tax office because I didn't receive my tax bill and you won't believe what they did!  They mailed my tax bill to a stranger.  The person didn't even have a  name that started with the same first letter.  At first they blamed it on the Post Office but hours later and after talking to seven different people they said they made a mistake.
I wonder if it was a mistake or did someone do this to help with some sort of fraud?
I hope it is all cleared up now.

Stay Busy

I am so busy but I love it.  I am enjoying my job's.  I did spend the last few week's sick but I am better now.  Today I am off until later this evening so I am taking the time to accomplish all those task that I have let go.  First I got the oil changed in my car, then I went to pay my property tax. 
The tax office had sent my bill to some other person in some other state.  After paying my property tax and insuring they had the proper address I decided to relax and play on the computer.

A job, Well I have three now

I am so happy.  I now have three job's and I like them all.  The hours work out well and I have Saturday and Sunday off.  God is so good!

Enjoying my second job

I like my new part time job.  It is good to have an easy job after working all day on my first job.  The problem is I only get ten to fifteen hours of low wage work.  I will still look for something with more hours.

Working out of the house

I am happy to say I have no time to sew.  I have a second job that takes up my time.
