Thanksgiving weekend was a busy weekend for us..Thanksgiving itself was on the quiet side. Our normal guest list topped off at 17-18. This year there was just 7 of us. It was different. The stress level was much lower, that's for sure. More leftovers and less dishes! :)
My Martha Stewart moment..the table
This is my brother-in-law, Lenard.
This is Erika..she works with me!!
My sister Debbie having a Chiropractic exam with Dr. Morson. (See Debbie, I told you I would put this picture in).
This is my best friend from high school, Anne! She and I turn 50 in January..She's the older one! By 12 days. She and her husband Steve were visiting from Virginia. Their youngest is stationed at Ft. Lewis so Thanksgiving was a perfect reason to come visit. After a lunch of turkey sandwiches and soup, Anne, her Mom Kay and I visited both my Mom and Dad.
While we were visiting my folks, Reg and Steve visited. They always have such good discussions. They have lots of common interests.
For Christmas my sister and I have decided to make our Mom a lap quilt. The plan was to sew on Saturday. I had gotten the pieces all cut out ahead of time. So, sew we did..
Here I am hard at work, pin in mouth!
I am so grateful that our Mom thought it important that we learn to sew. Debbie and I had so much fun doing this project. We sewed most of the day.
My sis!!
Look!!! It's almost finished! Well, at least the top part.
I think we were getting a bit punchy by this time!!
Here is the nearly finished top. We aren't sure how to do the mitered corners. Debbie has taken it home to finish it. I hope she figures out the mitered corners!!
