"Tagged...."

I don't know what I'm doing, but I will give it a try.
I guess I have been tagged.

HERE'S HOW YOU PLAY. ONCE YOU'VE BEEN TAGGED YOU HAVE TO WRITE A BLOG OF TEN WEIRD, RANDOM THINGS, FACTS OR HABITS ABOUT YOURSELF. AT THE END, YOU CHOOSE FIVE PEOPLE TO BE TAGGED, LISTING THEIR NAMES AND WHY YOU CHOOSE THEM TO BE TAGGED. DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE THEM A COMMENT 'YOU'RE IT' AND TO READ YOUR BLOG. YOU CAN'T TAG THE PERSON WHO TAGGED YOU. SINCE YOU CAN'T TAG THAT PERSON BACK, LET HIM OR HER KNOW WHEN YOU'VE POSTED YOU BLOG SO HE OR SHE CAN READ YOUR ANSWERS.

1. The colors at my wedding where blue and green. After my wedding I think that three or four family members had the same colors at their weddings.
2. I always wanted to be a cheerleader.
3. My dream for being married and working was always to work with my husband and traveling the country. WOW, I guess I did get that dream. It feels good living my dream.
4. I thought I always wanted to dance in front of an audience. Thank you clogging.
5. After I was married I detasseled with a bunch of teens. Some of the boys found a snake and where scaring the girls. I needed to walk back to the bus-by the boys and snake. I am very scared of snakes. I told myself that if I flinched I would be dead meat. I was proud of myself and did not flinch once. After I got to the bus I thought I would faint.
6. I was very shy and quiet when I was in school. There might be help for Nick yet.
7. I have the habit of counting things when I drive by myself. Cans on the side of the road, quilt blocks on barns, just anything that makes time go faster.
8. I almost didn't get my drivers license. My mom made me get it.
9. When I was in 2nd grade, in Eldora, I am not sure what happened, but for some reason I ended up wetting myself in class. I mean a puddle under my chair. Everybody knew what happened. All I remember is I went to the nurse and said I wanted to got home and walk all the way to my grandma's house. Not really something I want to remember.
10. I do not like meeting new people. But I am trying to get over that one. My confindense is coming.
We'll see what Casey comes up with.
Andrea...I want to see if you have any more. Knowing you, you do.
Steve....I know there are a lot of things a mom doesn't know.
Vic... Give us info.
Nick...Join the fun.
That's all I have

Crazy time.

I know I have not posted for awhile. A couple of things have been going on. I have been busy with a lot of sewing events lately. At the end of the month I had our Spring Sew in Grundy at the comm. center. We have a Spring and Fall Sew each year. It is just a chance to get our projects done that either we need to get done or just want to get done. I had was able to get a lot done. I worked on a large quilt for someone, no Cory and Shelly it wasn't yours yet.
After that week end I got the distinct pleasure of getting the crude that everyone else is or has gotten. Spent the entire week last week sleeping, coughing, and feeling just plain miserable. Still have drainage and coughing, but at least I feel more normal.
Last week was a sad one for us. Lisa's roommate Verina died. We all new it was just a matter of time and we all know that she is so much better now and can have all she wants to eat. Verina's family was so good to Lisa. They all think of her as part of their family now. They all appreciated how good Lisa took care of Verina for these two years. It was so wonderful to see how much they cared for each other. Thank you Folkerts' family for your love and care for Lisa in your time of sorrow.
This week I started to get back to normal. I had signed up for two classes at Hawkeye. They where both for sewing. One was Thread Thrills and Fabric Fondling and the other Machine Quilting. They where both all day classes. Boy, what a way to get back to normal. If anybody wants to learn about sewing or have sewn, but want to learn about all the threads and fabrics that are out there and what or when to use them you want to take this class. This is not your homeec class. Man what an eye opener. The machine quilting also showed me what my machine can do for me and how to use it to it's capability. I also learned you don't need an expensive machine to do this. I'm all excited about sewing again.
That is all I got for now. Enjoy the warm weather while we have it.
