More March Madness

 Rita and I stopped at the Bishopville Opera House for her to sing.....I mean to look at the Quilt Show.

 This was one of my favorites.

                                                      This Iris Quilt would be lovely on my bed.

                                              I won this bunny as a door prize!  Isn't she sweet?

March Madness ? ? ?

 Yesterday I got the itch to make my first ever pound cake.  When I was at my college friend's house she served this recipe and it was so good I decided to try making it.

 The lady on the left, my mother-in-love, is a renowned cake maker so I have never needed to do much in the way of making cakes.

We celebrated my son-in-love's birthday with his favorite cake.....Better Than Sex.  The grandies were quite scandalized by the name.

Here is my latest list of book suggestions:

The Wedding Dress by Virginia Ellis.... a Civil War novel.

The Pastor by Eugene Peterson  an autobiography by the man who wrote The Message and was a pastor for 27 years.

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson... Fiction set in modern day England.

A Passion for Souls by Lyle Dorsett, Biography of  D. L. Moody

What have you been reading?

The Sky is Falling....or at least blowing away.

Yesterday morning I got a call from my youngest grandchild, Gates.  "Nana, you want to go see the Chicken Little Play with me, then we go to your house and play on Dead Man's Hill.  What do you think I said?  "ABSOLUTELY!"  Here are a few of the characters...Ducky Lucky, the Queen and Chicken Little....who kept insisting he was a Chicken Hawk not a Chicken.  They were all wonderful and I so wanted to be up on stage in one of those great costumes!

I went by my son's office on the way to pick up Gates.  Wayne recently moved into a "new office" in an old building and had this great mural painted on one wall.  It has things of significance to the boys home and his life.  You can easily see Gates in his Carolina football gear and Hannah in her cheerleading outfit.  I just realized she is holding Curious George.....who was Wayne's favorite book character and stuffed animal.



Several years ago I made this wall art for Wayne.  The heart is made up of buttons and ephemera from our family.  The buttons came from my Mom's button box.  The words you can't read are character traits Wayne possesses written in beads.

It was a very windy March Wednesday yesterday and Gates an I stayed out ALL day.  We flew a kite I had stashed away ....... Mental note....go to a big open field next time....no trees around :)
