Can’t figure out what I got myself into this time, but the blisters won’t stop popping up and the itching is terribly distracting:
I cannot have this! I need to finish some quilts this coming weekend! Darn. Ouch.

The Lone Ranger in the Lone Star State
The bluebonnet is the state flower of Texas – and a site to behold, especially when you see a field of them. While walking around our place this past weekend, we found one lone ranger … in the Lone Star state…
Chocolate Therapy
Some days weeks, it takes more than quilt therapy to make the world go ’round …
The Colors of Easter
What a joyous celebration we had for the Easter holiday! I’d like to show you pix of my beautiful family, all dressed up in their church finery on Sunday, but alas … our eldest decided to throw a fit about standing outside (too bright) or smiling (not happy). So, I put the camera away and didn’t get it out again! Perhaps it was a bit pouty on my part, but they had all promised to let me get a nice photo and then she changed her mind. Saddens me, to say the least. Ah, the joys of being a mother of a teenager! UGH
So, no photos of the kids dressed nice, no photos of the Easter egg hunt, no photos of the beautiful meal prepared by the family and no photos of our guests who joined our Easter feast. We’ll just have to live with the memories of the fun we had.
I did, however, manage to take a few photos on Saturday night, as the kids were coloring Easter eggs!
Good Friday
Our week is filled with all things Holy and we have a schedule back and forth to town more than usual and my thoughts continue to be on how we were saved by God’s grace. I am so lucky to have Him in my life!
But Holy Week aside, Monday was my son’s Cub Scout Pack’s Blue & Gold Banquet and I once again prepared all of the food for the event. Two years ago it was lasagna, last year it was mock chicken cordon bleu and this year, I snuck over and borrowed a recipe for French Dip sandwiches from The Pioneer Woman. DIVINE! I sort of combined her two recipes into one – using the parts that I knew our family would like and forgetting the rest. I added tater tots (which I “thought” was a kid-favorite but it turned out to be an adult-fave because when the kids finally came through the line, all of the tots were gone!) and carrots. Simple, easy meal – and the other parents brought the desserts!
