Christmas Brunch Twice

Every year, as you know, I meet up with friends from the 90s, hah! 
Met Megan and Amanda at Marios Early Toast. It was good! My friends recommended EVERYTHING so it made things impossible to settle on. Sheesh. I enjoyed their company the most of course.



And I met Ferrin for brunch another morning at a Crepe House in Shingle Springs. Her daughter came to pick her up when our time together was over. T'was good to catch up and be with my familiar who took me under her wing years ago!


 

Quilt Show 2025

Mom made twelve quilts this year. (A few less than most because of a very large hot-pat order. Go her!)
Adam picked our quilt this year. Thanks Mom! Also, points to any viewers if you know the movie reference at the end!
Watch on YouTube for best viewing.

A Little Prequalifier Rodeo

Nathan (Adam's brother) and Shayla invited us to the Rodeo—a pre-qualifier something or rather....

The MC was WAY snarky; Shayla and I were hooting away at him. I hope to hear him again somewhere. It was nice to have an evening out watching grown men taking their chances on a bucking horse. Thanks for inviting us N&S! (April 2025)

Advent Ornaments

Oh you knew this was coming! This year's advent calendars are done and sent to nieces in Utah and California. And I don't know about the girlies, but they have been some of my favorite. Had I figured out what I wanted to do sooner, I would have created 25 unique designs...but I'll settle for six! 

Watch on YouTube for better quality. Here are templates to make your own. 


 A few out-takes from an activity prompting Hayden and Irie to decorate Michael like a Christmas tree. Of course, Irie took a turn too.
