Gosh, on Saturday my oldest will turn 22, how did THAT happen? Especially since (in my mind anyway) I'm only 24, lol! We don't have any special plans, but hopefully we will have a chance to sit on the deck and sing to him and open presents. I may have to sit down and look at his baby book and some old photos this weekend ;0)
Well, but I also have to replace my needle bar, ugh! I broke a needle Sunday evening with only about a half hour left on a customer quilt. I went ahead and shut down the machine thinking I'd finish Tuesday. When I went to sew, I couldn't get the needle bar to go down. Uh Oh. Been here before . . . that's a bent needle bar. Lucky for me, I keep several on hand because my machine seems prone to bending needle bars when it breaks a needle. I did finish the super hero quilt and deliver it (finally!) so that's good news. The guy who received it must have been happy - by the time I got home, he had posted 7 pix of it on his facebook page! He was a pretty happy fellow! Since this was a freebie, I hope that I score several new clients through it *fingers crossed*
Tomorrow is the day mom and I go to Vincennes to pick up Ellen. We need to bring boxes so she can pack - that will be interesting. She is excited for us to see her room, and we are excited to see it. Ellen will be coming home for about a week to pack up her bedroom and then she is moving to my gr'ma's house. I don't see any way she is going to make it back to Vincennes next semester, short of a miracle. She only got $1,050 in aid for the YEAR! But they generously offered us parent loans in excess of $11,000! YIKES! Um, thank you but no thanks, we can't possibly do that. She will be devastated, but she will be able to get just as good an education out at IUPU - Columbus. And at least she had a year on campus.
Things with MIL are going fine. She is ticked at the other side of the family right now, so we are not taking any heat at the moment, LOL. She still is not taking her antibiotic, so I anticipate an ER visit probably in June due to the UTI getting worse. I'm also keeping an eye on her because last year the summer is when we started having trouble with her retaining water and ending up in the ER 3 times with difficulty breathing. So, I'm keeping my journal about her medical stuff updated and ready.
Right now I'm looking forward to putting up the pool! It's hitting 88 degrees outside today, and it's only May 7th! Hoping to crank out 2 quilts this weekend so I will have the funds for getting water hauled in. Ellen offered to help set it up, and Marci probably will too. They both want it, so they are most likely to help ;0) I am a little nervous because we didn't put the pool up last year, it just sat folded up on the ground. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best!!
