Clare the wonder dog

Clare, our big baby!

Guns with my lunch

S and I were enjoying a Saturday having lunch out after shopping, just doing what normal people do, it was fun.  While waiting to be served, a unsavory looking fellow walked by us on his way to the bar.  I glanced at him and saw that he had a gun sticking out of the back of his jeans.  What!  who is this guy to come into this restaurant with a gun.......is he planning on robbing the place, or does he just carry a gun wherever he goes so he never misses an opportunity to shoot someone.  Of course that someone could be anybody this random guy thinks needs shooting.  What has our world come to???Are we in the wild west???I understand that the brilliant minds in our state legislature passed a law that allows this kind of insanity.
So of course, I spent the rest of my time having lunch fuming because this idiot can make everyone around him nervous, wondering if he is a lunatic or just some knuckle dragging neanderthal looking for a victim.  They don't allow guns on planes, in the state capitol buildings or courtrooms, but they are fine with guns being in places that normal people are just trying to live their lives.  Thanks again Legislators for sticking to all those regular people....again!

Okay, take this lovely group,



these lovely quilts at the Cobb Show in Marietta, mix in a wild hour and a half car ride in two different cars, and the end
products is a great time with good friends. Thanks Ladies!

Events since I blogged last

Long time between posts.....


Yes, they are engaged, A and S are getting married in October, aren't they just the cutest couple???
Meet the latest canine addition to our family, Gracie. She was our "Front Yard" dog, that never left, she stayed so long we decided we were meant to have her. She looks happy to have a family and gets along well with the other three girls. I am not happy about the people who let her go, she was not spayed, no collar just left, how can people do that to a poor animal. She is friendly and sweet and still learning to be civilized.....now if she would just stop opening doors that are shut for a reason....

we just spent a weekend with A. She is our favorite 10 year old, who's parents went on a trip and let us hang out with her for a few days. Thanks for hanging with us A. And thanks to her folks for the lobster, still kicking they brought us....YUM

Just had a bee lunch, will try to post a pic of the birthday girl tomorrow. Happy to be back, lets hope I can keep it up.

Where's my camera???

I would love to have a picture from our guild Christmas party last night, but again, I forgot my camera. I guess I am still living in the 70's thinking about taking a roll of film to the processor having them printed and all the trouble and expense.....it is so easy now there is no reason to take a million pictures...where is my head?

New Years Resolution: Take my camera whenever I leave the house.

Bee birthday at Bangkok Grill

Well, this is a picture of the restaurant and the lady who runs it shamelessly plugging her restaurant. The food was mediocre at best and had very little resemblance to real Tai food. The coconut soup tasted mostly like hot sauce and not at all like coconut. But I guess for a restaurant in Covington, one has to make it as generic as possible to stay in business.

On a happier note, a great time was had by all, we got to visit and exchange gifts and eat cake, what more can one ask. To C and L, Happy Happy Birthday! and hope we can all celebrate together for many more.
