where does the time go

Sorry i have been so long in writing, i sure don't know where the time goes these days... I don't get to town much these days, so life is pretty boring, we were having company on Saturday nite for cards, so i needed to wash floors, tidy up, get supper organized, make dessert, all that good stuff... we had pulled pork, 24 hour coleslaw, Caesar salad, home made buns, raw veggies and dip, and devilled eggs, and carrot cake... turned out really good...Dave and Steve love devilled eggs, so they really cleaned them up... We went to Kelowna on Thursday, as Larry had to go for an assessment on his ankle for Work Safe... what a joke, they tested his strength in his hands, and asked if that hurt his ankle, can you imagine...it was a lovely drive, and we had lunch at the pub next door...

Did i tell you we finally got our new bedroom suite, and new bed...got it on our anniversary.. Feb 2..room sure looks better, and we each have a dresser now... instead of just sharing one for 30 years...i even have empty drawers..it is so nice to be able to put things away after doing laundry... i was really bad at that...this is Larry's dresser... and the end of the sleigh bed..you would not believe the height of the bed, neither Larry or I are very tall, so it takes a jump to get into the bed... it is at least 36 inches off the floor... but it is very nice to sleep on...we haven't had a new bed for years and years... what a treat...


this is my dresser... don't ya love all the drawers...
this is another 60th birthday shawl... made with alpaca cria, in a lovely shade of grey... it is for Marie... who will be 60 the first of April, but she will get it on Thursday, as she isn't going to the retreat at lake Cowichan or coming to Desert Mesa in April... i usually buy the fibre, but she wanted one out of her aplaca fibre... i will take a picture of her in it on Thursday... hope she likes it...

this is Jackson and Dixie rough housing during the winter... they really get along well.. I am off to the coast on Wednesday, spending the night with my Mom and youngest son Matt is coming over for supper and then catching the ferry on Thursday, meeting up with Toni and Isabel and Marie for lunch and then over to Toni's for the night, and off to the retreat on Friday... back to Toni's on Sunday, and then on the ferry back to Moms on Monday, and then home on Tuesday... Wednesday is guild meeting... so the next week and a bit will be pretty busy...

I took Larry to M & M's so he had something easy to cook while i was gone, he is a terrible cook, so i hope he doesn't starve... he lives on eggs and bacon, and toast and beans... poor boy...

i did make him some bread today... don't they look good..I even bought some new loaf pans... glass ones, and they do a really good job...well i had better go get supper started... sweet and sour chicken with stir fried veggies... take care will take lots of pictures at the retreat....
