A Birthday Quilt

Front

Back

The birthday girl, Jessee, under the quilt. She turned 22 on Sunday and we celebrated last night. All the "kid couples" played the Newlywed Game and Tyler and Jami won.

This was the Chinese restraunt we had lunch at. I didn't know if we should eat at a place with a hearse out front with fake blood on the back window. The food was very good and no one had to leave in the hearse. Mary made dinner Saturday night--a good casserole, crusty rolls, and a green salad. This morning Tessa made breakfast--freshly made carmel rolls and a pan of good things like eggs, sausage, bread, cheese (a Paula Deen recipe).

Before leaving town we hit TJMaxx and a thrift store. At the thrift store Jami found a wedding dress that fit great and had fun modeling.

So many pretty things to see!

Tyler playing window peeper into one of the Period Rooms.

Tessa duplicating art. We tried to get her to take her clothes off to be more accurate ;)

The newly engaged couple have some time alone. They're so cute!

A wall of metal work. Roosters for you, Jody!

Mpls. Trip

I went to Mpls. with Jami, Tyler, Matt, and Tessa this weekend to visit our friend, Mary.Saturday morning Jami and Tyler made us breakfast of french toast, sausage, and juice. Jody wants to know what we ate because Mary usually cooks big elegant meals for us. My kids are so responsible that Tessa and Jami planned breakfasts for us. I think they planned a lunch too but we ended up having Chinese while we were out and about. My only contribution was cream puffs. We went to the Art Institute Saturday for a couple hours.

Big blown glass sculpture as we entered. Done by the same man who did some at the Mayo Clinic. Rae gave me a lesson on this one time in Rochester but I have forgotten his name, etc.

The kids had to have a little caffeine before we started.

In the works

I have a birthday project in the works. I wish an elf would come during the night and make the sandwich--quilt top, batting, and quilt back. It seems to be the one thing I don't find as pleasurable as the rest.
It's so good to see the sun today and watch melting snow pour off the roof.

Be Still

I got my Christmas present to myself! It's a necklace from Lisa Leonard Designs called "Be Still". I LOVE it!!!!
