Tuesday Talk

It's raining cats and dogs here today with more on tap for tomorrow. On tap. Did you catch that? Sometimes I crack myself up....ahem...anyway it's really wild here with the flood warnings up. I'm glad we live quite high on a hill as we are right beside the river and it does tend to flood the lowlands on occasion. The puddles in the roads are deep and water is streaming down them towards the drain offs. If this were snow we would be under three feet by now!

I enjoyed all the comments on my hair receivers . Not many of you had ever heard of them before but a few had seen them on their grandmother's dresser. Most of you thought the tradition was gross and I must agree with you on that one. Here's a few more that I have in my sewing room. I don't think they have been dusted since 1963 by the looks!

I finally finished my Reindeer wall hanging. Don't you love Rudolf's red nose? I think the colors are so festive for the holidays.

I also got word that the princess wall hanging arrived for Izabel and Emily the two little cuties who love purple and pink. Check it out at The Cracker Jacks, their blog. This Mom has done a FANTASTIC job creating this site to keep a journal about her two little girls including pictures, journaling and videos. How I wish this had been available when my son was a baby, we just had baby books to write things in and the older he got the less I wrote. Now with all of this technology you can have an absolutely beautiful way of chronicling their lives.

I have to show you this beautiful card that Needled Mom made for me for my birthday. It's incredible the detail that she put in this. To see how it is done she has an amazing tutorial on her site that walks you through each phase of the project. I keep meaning to ask her if she is Needled Mom because she was a nurse and gave a lot of shots or because she sews with needles all the time???????????

I had another wonderful surprise today from my Blogging Buddy Pea over at Pea's Corner. There was a box on my doorstep left by my mailman so I hurried in to open it and this is what I found inside!!!! This darling little bird, a trinket box which will look wonderful in my curio cabinet with my hair receivers and this picture frame that is unbelievable! I have a picture of Buddy and me that will be in there before the night is over. I hope you can see the details with the cowboy hat, rope and spurs! Thank you so much Miss Pea!! xoxox I love everything!

Sunday night was Parents Night at Awana and both Son and DIL work in the group so T invited me to come downstairs and be her guest. It's the next to last night of Awana with the closing program next week. There was pizza and punch for all and we enjoyed every bit of it!

Of course I had to sneak into Cubbies and see D too!! He has a rather short hair cut as he got bubble gum in his hair and Daddy had to get the clippers out.......

I was at my chiropractor's office today to get twisted like a pretzel and cracked. It's not as bad as it sounds, it really helps. He only has Chiropractor magazines in the waiting room, no People, Ladies Home Journal, Popular Mechanics or anything else entertaining but I do like the cartoons.

I hope you can see this one, I enlarged it as much as I could. The chiropractor is putting water out in front of his office in the wintertime to make ice so that people fall and need to come in for an adjustment. It's titled When Chiropractors Go Bad. My chiropractor is really nice and takes a lot of ribbing from me and my Dad as we go there regularly. Dad calls him his chirocracktor!

It's still raining, I'm wondering if I should start building an ark?
