Since I've been off the kids have moved on from T_Ball, to the fall sport of football. Mini Midgets for Russellville was a very active Mason played quite a bit so the family was at a game or practice every week. (I'll post photo's later on of the school, sports and activities as soon as I get them into photo bucket)Grandpa Phil, Brianna and Mason went off to Mason's football banquet the other day. I heard that a good time was had by all. Mason received a very nice trophy and medal which now resides in his room. Will has started round ball, he is happy to have a sport that is all his, I will have to see that I get to one of his games to cheer him on and get some great photo's of Will in action. Brianna and Bailey are doing well in gymnastics. Brianna is working on a backward handstand that twist the body ouch, Bailey can bend her self backward then land on her hands to hold her body into a bridge position, she hangs from the swing set like a little monkey, just likes to do that a lot.
Mimi took Brian off to Tuscaloosa the other weekend for his birthday. It was an Alabama football game and a good time was had by both parties. Nov. 29 TH is the Iron Bowl and for those who like football you know it's the big Alabama -- Auburn football game. If you can find a TV or Radio not tuned to the game you will be lucky. If you don't like football, rent a movie or go shopping, because that is not a Saturday you can expect to find anyone in Alabama who doesn't have to work not hooked up someway. I made the mistake one year of visiting my sister Willie when the game was starting. Phil told us to get lost, politely but to stop chatting in the living room while he was watching the game. We gave in and went over to a mall about 35 miles away to window shop, eat out and just have some sister time together. Even there the game was on the loud speaker..LOL
I was given a wonderful gift a few weeks ago. A lady in my church asked me if I had a sewing machine, I told her yes, she then asked me if I would like an Embroidery Machine, with shock in my voice I said "Oh Yes." Well my machine arrived with a world of patterns, items to use to make the patterns, instructions, every thing I could need including the name of a lady who would help me learn how to use the Embroidery Machine. Once oh about 4 years a go while I was chatting with God, I asked him what would I do when I couldn't cross stitch anymore. I thought about an Embroidery Machine but not having the funds to buy one well I knew that was out. So while discussing this cross stitch situation with Him, I just mentioned the Embroidery Machine idea and forgot about it. God does answer prayers when your ready for the answer. I am eagerly ready to learn this new craft, but my only problem is that my nephew Keith hasn't gotten my sewing table to me. If your reading this Keith how about it...please I should like to learn how to do a few things for Christmas if I can....Keith, Bruce...please????...I'm a nag aren't I....LOL
Well I finished quite a bit of cross stitching, sent the puppies I was doing off to there new owner. Seemed to me I was stitching more puppies then was on the pattern. There done, I've finished an angel, fairy, fish plus two Angels one blue, one red for Quilts for Older Children which has moved to Yahoo Groups and can be found there now.

With the help of Dale High in PA, and Carol Lee in LA I was able to have taken to Huntsville Hospital Nic Unit for preemie's quilts for the babies. Another beautiful patch was taken to Hospice for the children who have cancer and Helen Keller received quilts along with cuddle cushions (pillows). I won't be able to take cuddle cushions to Keller in December so I'm going to take them some very special quilts. We just don't have the funds to buy the pillow forms. They have to be hyper allergenic and cost with shipping is more then we have right now. With the economy heading further south right now we will all be doing the best we can with what we have. Here are the URL's for the Angel Quilt Project.
