But wait ! Don't expect great things from me yet ! I've got to spend this week trying to get this place ready for the 'invasion', albeit a happy one ! And now, this trailer is packed to the hilt..........where am I going to store my precious quilts? I used to have some of them stacked on top of my credenza, and some of them in a hall closet. Well, the closet here doesn't look 'safe' enough (I'm afraid the quilts would get wood or rust stains). And the credenza has my little stereo on top of it. I'm definitely going to have to take some time to do this right. Praise God for the fact that the dresser that houses the fabrics has been sitting empty just waiting for their arrival back 'home' ! I never gave into the temptation to put other things into those drawers !
In the meantime, I'm taking the vehicle I drive to have some standard maintenance type 'stuff' done tomorrow........the guy works out of the old service station that I spent all of my days in as a kid. My dad ran it then, all of the years I was in school, and since we lived in the country, we spent the whole day there, from early morning, arriving to deliver the town's newspapers, and going home when the place closed, not leaving town until well around midnight, by the time you restocked for the next day. Sentimentality led me to go to this guy for my car care, but he IS rather expensive ! I feel committed to go through with it at this point, but have been warned that he likes to 'fix' a few extra things that you didn't ask for and charge you when you come to get the vehicle. I'm going to warn him against such behaviour, but if he does it anyway, we're going to go 'round and 'round ! My LORD is not going to let anyone take unfair advantage of me or my husband.
Anyway, I'll be busy tomorrow for sure, but I want to try to get one more baby quilt pieced and basted, ready for quilting, before the kids arrive, so that I have something to work on in idle times..........will there really be any idle time in the next 2 months? We'll see.........but let's be ready , just in case !
I love you guys.......ya know that? God Bless you all !

YIPEE!! the quilts & fabric arrived!!!!
