WOW-WEDNESDAY Snow day?

Ta-done!

I have to stand on a step stool to get a full picture. 

 The night before my Birthday 

Goodsons brought me this fun shirt and bag.

We had Birthday Breakfast with her boys.

Maple Counter is yummy!

se

My apple pancake was bigger than my tummy.

Leftovers are ok, right?

We went to my Quilt Guild in Tri-Cities then drove up to 

have Pizza at our favorite hang out - Chicos!

Friends from almost 50 Years ago.

Next year is our 50th reunion!

Since the Temple was closed on my Birthday, we went the next day!

 It's so Beautiful!!

BRRRRR

The cornerstone.

 There was snow in the forecast when 

we drove home from Moses Lake.

Woke up this morning to just a dusting.

I sewed the last part of the top border last night.

Photo op time in the snow.

Don't mind the footprints all around...

"Purple Jubilee"

It's finally a Flimsy!

It's a haircut Day... Oops

 Plans changed.. Rescheduled for next week.

WOW-WEDNESDAY

Evergreen Part 4 was a Star on top.

 I thought it might be an Angel 

I think any 6" Block would work. I will play 

with the other ones I started. 

I think I could use a Lori Holt Angel on top.

Or do Stars of a different color.

Wait and watch to see the end result.

Next week is the finishing instructions.

There hasn't been much sewing happening lately.

I had to wait until today to try and make the Top row for this SAL. 

I wish the pain in my back would magically 

just dissappear!

My Chiro appointments this week haven't helped much... but after the adjustment I am not 

weak on the left side.

Gotta use the Tens unit and alternate 

with the ice pack.

I have places to go and things to see this week.

Beautiful Photo of the Moses Lake Temple
The stained glass windows are so colorful and amazing.

Apple blossom to Bloom!

Open House for me is on Friday the 4th.

Can hardly Wait!!

Memorial Day Weekend

It's the weekend we remember those who fought and died in the service of our Country. 

I remember those in my life who served and loved our country.

We drove to Moses Lake, the 1st time to take flowers to the Cemetery since we returned.

Yes, I'm as tired as I look!

  

I didn’t have any roses blooming yet in my garden so I had to buy them.

Red roses for my Momma and Yellow for Paul’s Mother.

I forgot to take a can to hold water for Mom's.

The bracket Pete made leaks water out.

We found all the graves that we knew were there but couldn’t find in other years. I put a flag on my father’s side of the bouquet for his service in the CCC’s. My uncles who served were true heroes in my life. While in Moses Lake we went to see the Spring Fling in McCosh Park. There weren’t any Spaceburgers this year, bummer for me. I had to eat a Wendy’s Jr Bacon Cheeseburger instead after we went to see the Temple progress. The Missionaries serving there are from Tennessee. They showed us the progress photos on a slide show. They said there isn’t a set date for the Dedication. When the Temple is completed they will go home and not be able to be there for the Dedication. There was a box with broken pieces of the Temple stone from Peru. The Apple Blossom to Bloom carving was meticulously done by one man who never carved a flower before this. His wife is a florist.

I brought a few small pieces home to share. 

The new Stake Center is almost done.

Cladding of the Temple stone continues.

It's a Process and all of the shipments have arrived finally.

On the way home we drove to where my Brother, Allan is buried.

I didn't know exactly where and we looked and looked.

As we were leaving, I stopped to ask the men who were putting away the shelter from a burial if they knew how to find where someone is buried?

It just so happens he knew and had a map on his phone with the locations.

6 graves down from his Grandma Cole... He graduated with Menno, my nephew.

2nd picture for reference next time we go.

His small marker was faded and covered with grass.

We will call and arrange for a marker now that we know how and where to place it.

We will attend Coy's Graduation this week.

His announcement came Saturday.

My Saturday started with a Nap and ended with me going to bed early!

Jacob and Janessa came to mow our lawn.

That got me motivated to get the tulips taken care of.

I used the clippers to cut off the stems and leaves.

Then I covered them with soil. I bought 12 bags at Home Depot.

It's raining again today and these flowers are loving it!
