Rain....go away

I know we need rain, but I'm already sick to death of MUD. The driveway to the shop is so bad, that I almost got stuck Thursday night. I drove in to feed the cat, and was going to back out and park in the house driveway, but had to stop for a vechile coming down the road, and almost couldn't get going again. I always wish we could afford to pave or concrete those huge driveways, but then it dries up, and I just don't think it's worth the money. If someone would come by and give me a bid during the MUD season, I'd probably sign right up.
Club was fun. Janell has had some really cute things to make, and I always enjoy myself. My sister Margene even went with us this time. Thanks Jan, for the cute things and the treats!
I actually finished sewing the Trip Around the World quilt this weekend and even got the back ready. Tonight my mother said she'd help me get it on the quilt frames and tie it. Then I just have to bind it and I can get it sent off. It turned out pretty enough that I wouldn't mind making another one pretty much like it. When I only took half of it out to show Jeff, he said...um..that's pretty, but I could tell from the way he turned up his nose he didn't really like it. But when I got the entire center finished, he really liked it.
Saturday I went to the Flapjacks for Fireworks breakfast in Rupert. Jason said they planned for about 500 people, and it looked like they'd end up serving over 700...he was jacked. It was a pretty dang good breakfast too. When I got home, we loaded up all the supplies and headed up to Danelle & Gary's to help do the electrical in their garage they're converting to Treven's bedroom/play room. Gary helped Jeff with that while I helped Danelle in the house, and the afternoon just flew by. We did get done, so we didn't have to go back on Sunday. I made some sympathy cards and cleaned and did laundry on Sunday. One of my neighbors just died in her sleep Thursday night. She was born with a heart defect, and knew she could go at anytime. She was just 55, but she got married a few years ago, which she didn't think she ever would, and has been so happy. Her husband said she was totally relaxed and didn't look like their was pain for her at all. Which, if you have to go...what a way to go. Hope I can do that when it's time.
Thanks Robin for changing my design...I never know how to do it. The next time you're down, maybe you'll have to spend some time teaching me now that I finally have internet....
