A new week...

What a lovely morning. The sun is bright and the temps, so far, are really nice. Should be around 90 today. Tomorrow maybe back to the triple digit temps. I just got home from my neighbor Jeanne's house...we did some ribbon embroidery. A little help for her with some  new stitches. She is one of the sweetest friends anyone could have. I am so lucky to have her in my life.  I finished the project from Niky's Christmas contest

I found a simple frame in the craft closet which fits it nicely. I enjoyed this design and it will look nice at Christmas displayed in the house. It is stitched on 32ct something and I changed the color of the sheep and the stars so they would show up better. I now need to find the next project.... I do have a basket of things to do just have to decide which one. On Friday Mr H and I took a ride out Wickenburg way.....I found a new fella....

and he even played the guitar and serenaded me.....a pleasant afternoon. Today is football at the Horton House....Mr H seems to be upset with some call.... I just know how the day will be....
That is about it from here. Glad you stopped by and thank you for the kind words and your friendship. I think I will avoid the living room for the time being and go look for that to do project....have a wonderful day.

A special day

Sunday was a glorious day....the temp was around 70 and the sun bright and warm. We took a ride to Wickenburg to walk about. We knew today would be spent waiting for a chair to be delivered. We found ourselves parked near a small quaint church that was having a celebration...we missed it except for the release of balloons....

They said the rosary then send the balloons off. Then there was music and food. It was just a mall congregation of people but lovely.
I never noticed this church before; it is at the end of the main street. Off we then strolled to visit a few favorite shops

We found some butterflies enjoying a Texas Sage bush...... a great mural on the side of a building.... we sat and ate some ice cream under the shade of a lovely tree, did some shopping of course and Mr H found a lady at the train station. I don't know what her destination was, but Dennis came home with me!
Today is his special day...his birthday. No big plans... I just took the cake out of the oven and will wait to frost it. We may take a ride tonight to see the lights at Glendale and Westgate. Do you think I should cook tonight instead for the birthday guy? No, I don't want to spoil our routine.....I think this year his birthday number is bothering him some. So it is best not to change our ways and bring attention to it. Sounds good, right...?
I have the last of my packages to mail...3 of them, so I will be off as soon as the Post Office opens at 8 AM. Hopefully I will get in and out as I have been lately. I must as now as the laundry, #3 is ready for the dryer and I desperately need a cup of coffee. Glad to have you visit today, thank you for all the kind words and emails..... I treasure your friendship. Have a good day.
