Where have you been?

Oh, wait...it is where am I? Well, to make a long boring story short, I am having computer issues.
So...no posts...no pictures...and no update on my challenge piece which I might say is coming along nicely!
Maybe tomorrow... the cable guy is coming tonight to check it this end...then Sunday, I will be off to the Geek Squad to check that end.....
Thanks for your patience and hope to see you all real soon.

April what????

Can you believe that we are almost at the half way mark of this month! I don't know if it is because I had been sick , or stitching, ...but once again, I have lost days. Speaking of days, today is a beautiful one. I plan to be sitting outside any minute now with my cup of tea and the morning paper.  Before I go, did I tell you...I finished the bead work on Garden Party.....this is # 10 finish for the challenge! I am looking forward to framing it!
Let's meet over at my other place so you can see for yourself. Thank you for sharing some time with me, have a wonderful day.

So glad last week is over!

What a week...happy to have it past. As you know, I have the first 4 days of the week off...a mini vacation. Let me tell you...it is going to be rest, stitch, rest, stitch! The rain is finally gone..it was only one day...and much needed. I really have to get a few things worked on today so I can go to the Post Office in the morning. One package is for my sis...I guess I could explain the lynowl name. Here is lynowl...

Yes, the metal great horned owl at the back of the pond. The very first visit my sis Linda came out to see us, she bought this for Mr H. We had a Great Horned Owl that visited one of our tress and he told her all about it, and  she got this for him. We called it lynowl and she grabbed it as a nickname. Here is the real lynowl...

My sis and I are friends....she is fond of telling everyone that she is the younger one. Her last visit out here was for a month when I had foot surgery...we had a blast. Anyway, that's the story. Have you been visiting with the Eagle nest? That one little baby is getting very brazen...the nest needs maid service, but I am loving watching them.
By the way, I finished the stitching of Garden Party...would you like to follow me to my other place and see? I love your visits and comments and email...thank you.
