Monday, December 29. 2008Drove to Quivira Wildlife Area TodaySince today was going to be one of several nice days this week we decided to drive to Quivira Wildlife Area. We saw a lot of Canadian Geese and Snow Geese. Several eagles and lots of deer. Was a beautiful day. Since we were "SEW" CLOSE ... we drove on over to Alden and I spent time and money in that wonderful fabric shop. Prairie Flower Crafts
Saturday, December 27. 20082008 CHRISTMASThis is the first year we haven't had children to open presents in 46 years. OH GEESH, I'm gonna bawl again....HA Of course the "early years" we had Randy, then we had Grandaughter Tara and then each year we added another Great Grandchild for a total of 3. Christmas morning has always been waiting around for the phone call to come open presents and have breakfast it was always "hectic, chaotic, a mess but most of all fun" This year we didnt' have any batteries to install or things to assemble No christmas wrap and bows all over the place Instead we had a very quiet relaxing day Randy and Nova came over for dinner and I guess I forgot that I wasn't cooking for the whole gang cause I seemed to cook just as much oh well we luv leftovers Our gifts included for me a beautiful butterfly magnet and a pair of gorgeous sterling silver with blue stones butterfly earrings. Husband got lottery tickets (he luvs $$$$$) Later in the afternoon we got to see and talk to the kids on the webcam...which isn't perfect but its better than not being able to see them All in all it really turned out to be a nice day...just different...and I'm finding that "OLD FOLKS" just don't adjust to change

Wednesday, December 3. 2008Had to be "Creative" this ChristmsI had to be somewhat creative for Christmas With a crunch for time....I had to get busy Because they flew I figured they didnt' get to take some of the "little stuff" with them like *pencils*crayons*construction paper*clipboards*puzzles*bandaids*lipbalm and OH I even found some "Jayhawk" gum! Then I decided rather than just box and wrap with wrapping paper I'd make some really simple tote bags to put the "stuff" in At first I looked at Fleece but couldn't really find any that I liked...then I started looking at flannel and found these wonderful moose and polar bears. I sewed up the sides...turned under the top and made buttonholes for the drawstring Will put in the mail tomorrow hopefully plenty of time to get there before Christmas Click on the thumbnails to see what is inside. Ally's is the pink one then Blake's then Ethan's
