Friday Fragments

 

Mommy's Idea

 

Why is it that the only time my house gets anything close to a thorough cleaning is when we’re expecting guests?  Ha!  I hosted a candle party last night … prepared way too much food … sent half of it with others and will find some way to get rid give away the rest … we do NOT need 4+ dozen chocolate chip cookies here (at least not without pecans) and 1 1/2 loaves of pumpkin nut bread!  Winking smile

 

 

Yesterday the high was 85+ … today the high will barely hit 50.  At least the colder weather is bringing some rain with it.  We planted grass seed a week ago, and our little seedlings need some rain.

 

 

Baseball post-season begins today … and my team plays at 4:07 (what’s with these odd starting times?  why not 4:05 or 4:10?).  I may need a nap in order to stay awake during the game … I didn’t fall asleep until after 1:00 and was awake before 5:00 (I tried to go back to sleep but failed).

 

 

Other than about an hour Wednesday afternoon, I haven’t had any needle & thread time in over a week.  Surprised smile  I’ve got errands to run this morning, but I definitely plan to spend some time quilting this afternoon.

 

 

Should be a fairly quiet weekend coming up.  We do have our annual neighborhood block party tomorrow afternoon (it’ll be slightly warmer tomorrow, but that’ll still mean several layers of outerwear for me – ha!).  We’ll have the 2 littlest Ts tomorrow, so they’ll be going with Nana and Papa.  Sunday, DSIL leaves for a week of training in Ohio, and DD & the Ts will be going with … which means we’ll be keeping our grandpuppy.

  1. Good morning! I ALWAYS make too much food, haha. Guess I just can't bear being caught short! We are cooling WAY down today...high should only be 75! I am giddy! Enjoy your week-end!

  2. Wish I was in your area. I'd help out with the cookies. haha

    Hope you get some quilting time today. I'm itching to start another crochet project. I just have to figure out what I want to make.

    Which baseball team are you rooting for?

    Have fun with the T's and the grandpuppy.

  5. Ohhhh, I don't like this change in weather. We got a tiny bit of rain yesterday and that's it! The temp keeps going down and the wind keeps blowing. Feels way too much like winter! ~Jeanne

  7. Maybe I should invite some guests over just to have the motivation to get the house really clean!

  9. I think the games start at the weird time becaue of them doing the pregame activities, National Anthem, announcements of players, etc. How fun to get to babysit the grandpuppy for a week :)

  10. Cleaning when expecting guests is normal unless you have a housekeeper, which I do not. But would love! It appears our Braves lost, choked again, baseball is done here for another year...Happy Happy!

  11. When I'm going to have guests, I start looking at things through their eyes and panic! Then the cleaning starts! Otherwise, I just shrug! And I always cook way too much food!

    Have a great weekend!!

  12. Happy Saturday my friend, A granpup for a week-you'll be in heaven, I think. It is so cold here today and we had snow this morning, which I was out in-brrr.
    I'm staying in the rest of the day, under quilts.
    Have a great weekend; I want to see a pic of your grandpup, as well as your new furniture.
    Hugs,Noreen

  13. That's quite a fluctuation in the weather you've got there. And you can certainly feel free to send those cookies and pumpkin bread right down here! :)

  15. Sounds like you're been busy!

    I can totally relate on the house cleaning thing. Oh well...as my husband says, "We live here. Why try to make it look otherwise?" :)

    Thanks for linking up. Have a great week.
