Frost on the Pumpkin

It really got cool last night. We brought in all the garden decorations, swings, dock, boat lift and boat. It's early, but our schedule is going to be busy. There are alot of green tomatoes, but we did get a few red ones, finally.
Our tickets were in the mail when we got home, so everything is finalized. We need to get our flu shots this week.
Saturday is Cranberryfest at Stone Lake, that's always a good time if the weather is nice. Next week is our church rummage sale. This is the quilt I helped make for the raffle. This is how we pay for our supplies to make the quilts.

Home Again, Too

We're home, and unpacked. I don't have any terrific pictures to show, but the child survived (it must have been the cookies). I finally got to pick a couple of tomatoes when we got home.
We enjoyed the time with Caleb, Jen's pictures and especially her Swiss chocolate. It was nice to be somewhere close to shopping, but also fast food. It's diet time now.
Nice homecoming pictures, Terry, what's the chicky doing on Cole's knee.

Winding down

Caleb fell asleep in front of the tv at 5:30p.m., I knew he was tired. The parents are due home tomorrow and the kid is all in one piece. He has developed a cough the last couple of days, that's probably why he's so tired. We made it through in good shape, forgot his glasses one day, forgot his milk one day and his snack one day. I did some shopping, thanks to Kohl's special sales, got a haircut, the Big H got a few rounds of golf in and came back with a new club, that he just had to have. I finished a quilted table runner and bound my quilt. I even stayed up to 10 p.m. last night.
Jen has Skype, so Caleb got to talk to them just about every day. It was nice to talk to them face to face. I think they had a terrific time, now it back to the real world.
It didn't freeze up north, so maybe I'll have some tomatoes when we get home.

Milwaukee Update

I've been too busy to post pictures, but c-man is next door playing with the neighbor, so I'll take time to post a few pictures. I would show pictures of swimming lessons this morning, but it didn't happen, he said "maybe next year". Today we went to Cedarburg for their fall fest. There were just too many people and the two guys weren't interested in crafts. I would have had a great day by myself, there were alot of great looking desserts.

A Day at Home

This has been such a busy week, it seems I ran all week. Today I cleaned my house, washed clothes, and baked an apple pie. I have most of our things packed for the trip to Milwaukee. I have to have alot of things to keep me busy for 2 weeks. Tomorrow we are going to Pittsville for a funeral and Monday is quilting in the morning and a movie and pizza in the afternoon and evening. We will be leaving early Tuesday morning. Everything had to be picked up in the yard and the garden will end, we probably will have frost before we get back. I finally picked a couple of tomatoes.
The Big "H" has started college football, he is on his second game and I'm not sure he's going to survive it. Oh, such language.

Visit to Margaret and birthdays

We went to visit Margaret this morning. She has been getting homebound health care, so she isn't getting out anymore. She is planning her 90th birthday party next June. She told her Dr. that his job is to keep her alive until then. I thought she looked good. We wanted to take her lunch, but she said she doesn't eat much anymore. She just wanted cookies.
Tomorrow is my brother Jerry's 75th Birthday, we will be going to Sally's tomorrow. She is having a get together there for him. I'm making Grandma Frost's angel food cake. I hope it turns out.

Quilt Class

I spent all day at a quilt class learning to do free-motion quilting. The most important thing I learned, is that I need a new sewing machine. My one and only sewing machine is a 1970 Elna, that has definately paid for itself years ago. I learned feathering, meandering, how to write my name, cross hatching and line quilting. I'm anxious to try a project, but maybe on a new machine.
