On The Tenth Day Of Christmas

On this tenth day of Christmas I just have to laugh. Roger and I have been married a long time and even think alike. Our tenth presents attest to this.
.........on the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me.....a new pair of bedroom slippers to match my new robe.


and on this tenth day of Christmas I gave my true love..... a new pair of bedroom slippers to match his new robe.


So you see why I am laughing. We both had each other bedroom slippers for the tenth present. What a hoot.

Another blessing today......my headache is finally gone!! I've been sleeping most of the night and day today from the medicine but whatever, it finally worked. A wonderful tenth day of Christmas.

Now to get prepared for Christmas dinner on Sunday. I work in the ER tomorrow 12 hours so I need to get a lot of planning done today, but still a little groggy.

Happy Quilting,

On This Ninth Day Of Christmas

On this ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me....(boy this is a long song).....A new pink bathrobe.  I guess we both had the same idea that we needed new bathrobes.  Our old ones were almost 10 years old.  This thing is sooooooooo soft and warm.  My cat jumped into my lap and stopped in her tracks as she felt the softness.  You could see the envy in her eyes and she started to knead.

 And on this ninth day of Christmas I gave my true love.....The Tim Tebow book "Through My Eyes".  I also sent this to our oldest son Roger Jr. for Christmas as they are both Tebow fans.  I thought it would be a good thing they could read and talk about together.

Have a great day quilting......or preparing for Santa to come this weekend.

On This Eighth Day Of Christmas

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me..... a wireless keypad to use with my IPAD....WOW!!


And on this eighth day of Christmas I gave my true love.....a Home Depot gift card......he just loves that place!



Today was Uncle Virgil's funeral at the Veterans Cemetery in Anderson. Really nice service. Taps gets me everytime. The honor guard 21 gun salute and flag ceremony was so touching.

Take some time for quilting today.

On The Seventh Day Of Christmas

Amazing how fast time is passing.  So on this Seventh Day Of Christmas my true love gave to me...... A beautiful 2 yard piece of batik fabric, a coffee mug and a tea towel which reads....."I may not be perfect.....but parts of me are excellent".  What a hoot!!!!



 And on this seventh day of Christmas I gave my true love a new robe.  It is soooooooo soft.   Maybe I can borrow it sometime........that is if the cat doesn't find it first.

Now off to finish some last minute details for the funeral and get my dad a hair cut. 

I plan on doing some destressing in my quilt room this evening.  Maybe some cleaning, maybe not, who knows what might be going on in this room.  I now have wonderful Josh Groban Christmas music playing on my IPAD and new boom box that I received.  Wonderful music that I know Uncle Virgil would be singing right along with me. 

Many Blessings,

Shelia

On The Sixth Day Of Christmas

On this sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me..... A new quilting book for machine embroidery.  He didn't realize that I don't have a embroidery machine.....yet......maybe an idea........hehehe.

And on this sixth day of Christmas I gave my true love..... some gun magazines he's been thinking of subscribing to.

I'm off to work today as family is finishing up funeral plans for later this week.  Trying to keep my mind busy.  Today is Roger's first Monday off with his new schedule.  He will be getting new tires for our Grand-daughter Haley's car and finishing up Roger III's rear-end repair on his mustang.  Guess it doesn't sound like too much of a day off for him.
Get some quilting in today,

A Solem Fifth Day of Christmas

On this fifth day of Christmas we are reminded how precious those we love are to us.  Yesterday we lost my precious uncle Virgil, my dad's baby brother.  He was a precious christian man and I know he is with my grandmother, grandfather and his brother Don at this time.  What a joyous reunion at this time of year.  It is a reminder of how we should make sure we tell those we love how much they mean to use each and every day as we know not when God will call us to be with him.  But as uncle Virgil would say.....o.k. girl what's next.....enough said.

On this fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me....  A beautiful batik jelly roll of 40 different fabrics, they are gorgeous.

And on this fifth day of Christmas I gave my true love.....his favorite cologne.  Obsession for men.

I'll end this post with my favorite scripture...

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understandings.  In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.   Proverbs 3:5-6

Many blessings,
