We had an excellent turnout at today’s Mercer Homecoming Quilt Show! With a record-breaking 127 entries, this year’s show was a tremendous success.

I entered 6 quilts. won a white ribbon on Scooby Doo Gang quilt! Kevin picked them up before Izzy blew out the candle on her cupcake.
Congratulations to all of our winners! πŸ†πŸ‘ Check out the results below and help us celebrate these talented quilters! King: Third Place - Deb Dailey Quilt Show Winners
Izzy's party was here, just us. She seemed quite happy with her gifts. I altered Z's shorts TOO big. (insert eye roll here) but she assured me they were just fine. she is such a sweetheart. she made Izzy a bag full of homemade gifts....scratch art, magnets, pictures.
we went up town this morning for car, tractor, and quilt shows, and flea market where we found a local hand crocheted something for the new grandbaby. we went back for the ice cream social, and Kevin tried a fair baked potato.
2024 Christmas in July ⛄πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸ€Ά Bell Ringers are out.

2015 I'm gullible. I'll fall for just about anything 'cause I always think there's a chance. I'm the girl who fell in love on a school bus when her eyes met the eyes of the guy across the aisle, remember? the girl who had 3 beautiful super smart children. and the cutest damn grandbaby in the world. miracles do happen! and maybe this ol' gal is due another one. deep down I knew it was horseshit from the git go. but an old gal can dream, can't she?
2011 an epic Pokemon battle rages in our livingroom...
2009 no parents allowed till 9:30....so we'll go back (maybe....if we don't get too wrapped up in our ghosthunting shows....) KJ has headed uptown for the entertainment, Katie & I will soon follow. I am excited.....she's not so much. deb has the whole damn weekend off!!!!

1" in rain gauge. today is take Izzy's birthday bed to her house day.....from toddler bed to Big Girl Bed! (she was thrilled!) and the moment of truth for Z to try on her shorts and see if they are good to go....

on an errand to find Zerelda pickle chips her Gustavo found a girlfriend at Dollar General. She told me I could make my Gustavo a girlfriend, so after I got home, did another adjustment on her shorts, dug in fabric boxes, and created a girlfriend for my Gustavo. I've been quite creative this week, if I do say so myself.
