Memorial Day Weekend





My husband has a four-day weekend for Memorial Day. We went Friday night to buy groceries and stocked up on all the things we were out of, which was everything.

Today, I bought some soft fleece in pastels to make a baby quilt with the embroidered disney characters for the grandbaby. She should be arriving July 1st, but my daughter keeps trying to go into labor. She pops one of the pills the doctor gave her and they stop, temporarily. They plan to wean her off the pills soon, so I don't much think she'll be able to hold off until July 1st.

No I haven't quite figured out everything on the sewing machine yet. But I did get a bobbin wound, the bobbin inserted, and the thread cartridge wound. Yes, I know on a regular sewing machine, that's like a piece of cake, but with all the new "easier" methods on these new machines, it takes hours. ha. I guess the idea is when I get the hang of everything, it will be faster? Who knows...

Today, we were watching tv when we noticed the hot air balloons out the window. Our town has hot air balloon races every Memorial Day weekend. We got some good close-up pics and I got to practice the zoom on our camera. My kids always were so excited to see the hot air balloons when they were children. I still am.

Tomorrow we plan to do a little Memorial Day sale shopping, and I'm going to work on some sewing while he works on his army models.

I had to have a biopsy done this week, because my family doctor over-reacts to everything. He sent me to a specialist who also said he thought my doctor over-reacted, but if I went ahead and had the biopsy, then my doctor would be happy and we wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. So I had it. It should be back this week, but I don't expect anything from it.

I hope all my readers (aka my buddies!) have a good Memorial Day weekend.
