Sunday
Ron and I get up very early Monday through Saturday and we work long hours each day- especially on Saturdays. Saturdays are the busy day at the store and Ron usually has a long day of basketball and yard work. Yesterday, I got home from the store about 6:30, fixed dinner, then went grocery shopping- by 9:30, I was done. (In more ways than one :) Since we go to church on Sunday afternoon- Sundays have been our only "no alarm clock" day. (the only day when we could get up, when we wake up) But... now that Ron has some new responsibilities at church- he has to be at a meeting at 9 am on Sunday. So...today we both got up at 7 am- he took a shower and then got dressed while I fixed breakfast. I was in my pajamas until 10- but by that time I had eaten breakfast with Ron, put beef stew in the crock pot, baked a rhubarb pie, and cleaned up the kitchen from all of that cooking. (hehe) Then I still had time to take a shower, get myself ready for church and then take a few pics. with my camera. The rest of this post is just a few random pics. around the house- finally no Christmas stuff- we have moved on to Spring :) (I am gradually using some new colors around the house- trying to get away from my traditional "country- burgundy, green, and gold" look.)

Birthday
My Dad, an amazing man, had a birthday on Monday- 80 years old. My brothers and I were there for a celebration on Saturday evening. (After having a 3 hour delay at the airport- I was late for dinner :) Doug was kind enough to pick me up on Saturday and then returned me to the airport on Monday.

| I gave Dad an new little photo book- (he gets that about once a year :) It's hard to keep up with all of those great grandkids that keep coming :) |

| Happy Birthday. We love you. |

Pink
I have made enough jackets, at my store, that I know it takes me exactly 2 1/2 hours to make 1 jacket, from start to finish. To make 4 jackets, does not take 4 times as long, because you can cut out double and work assembly line style. The tricky part of that is keeping the right pieces together for each jacket. But... when I sew for 10 minutes, then go answer the phone. Sew for 5 minutes, then go wait on a customer. Sew for 5 minutes, then go clean out the dressing room. Sew for 10 minutes then go ship a dress. Sew for 15 minutes, then go pay a few bills. Sew for 10 minutes, then go check the email. Sew for 5 minutes, then go check on an order. Sew for 30 minutes, then go help another customer try on a dress. Sew for 10 minutes, then go answer the phone again. (I think you get the idea :)
It took me 4 days to make 4 jackets. lol
