Ride in the Snow

We talked Carl & Marilyn into going to the snow with us and riding in our converted Ranger. The first thing we did was stop at the Chatter Box in Wordford Hights for Breakfast then it was on to the Mountains.We went up to Sierra Vista and the snow was to deep and the trails had not been groomed. We then went over to the Ski Area, un loaded piled in and off we went. Took these pictures on our five minute ride

Rain, Rain & More Rain

John had a "shoot" today in the rain. The guys arrived in Camo gear, heavy boots, and lots of ammo. It rained all day but didn't dampin their spirt's at all. They came with a camp grill and fixed sausages and hot dogs for a snack. The shooting range is behind the garage, a small building helped keep them dry. The picture is looking down where they were all parked.

                                                    Just One Star for the Semper Fi Fund

Tonight we are having Bunco at TOGS. Shirley is hostess and I have made some things to take down.

On the plate are chocolate covered marshmallows. Look at the labels for the Water!

The small flag picks and 2" round picks are for her Cup Cakes.

This tree is off our deck and has burst into bloom. Every year we try and decide what type of tree it is. When I bought it the tag said it was fruitless tree. Last year we started getting fruit that was either Plums or Cherries.  We will see what we get this year.

Wed. Breakfast At Togs

John and I meet Carl & Dennis for Breakfast. We normaly have quite a few on Wed. for our usual Breakfast Club, but all the others were busy.

I did get the "Just One Star" done today. This is a challenge from Moda Fabrics for all quilters to make just one star block for Flag of Valor project. They need 1800 star blocks to reach their goal to piece, quilt and bind 100 quilts in 100 days.  They are donated the quilts thru the "Semper Fi, Fund.

Next I started on my 9 patch blocks for the April  QVWashed Units swap. I signed up for 3 sets but hope to do at least 4 sets of 5 blocks.

Long Blog Break

It's been awhile since I sat and took the time to blog. My internet connection with Hughes has been very slow. Seems they want $250.00 for a new modem. I'm looking around for a better or faster service. The only thing is I hate to change my E-mail address.

We spent the day in town today. I went to my 11:00 apt, to get my taxes done, only to find they did not have me down. We will have to go back to town Saturday and try again. We did get more things down on out town list. We went to Costco ran into Terry and Julie and had lunch with them. This is what we have been up to.
This is John's truck. He took it to town on Friday, blew the motor, and had to have a very large tow truck bring it home.  Looks like he will be kept busy working on this project .

 That same Friday we all had a Birthday Party for Carl and Marilyn. Check out the cake decorating. It was created by Chef John!
