Newest Grandbaby and the Houston Quilt Expo.....

This is an introduction to our newest grandbaby....little "True", he looks more like his mama than his dad...but that hair...all my kids looked like baby porcupines!!! I get to see him up close next weekend. Can't wait.

I am off to the Houston Quilt Market in the morning..... thanks to a wonderful DIL, and my bags are being packed now. I have Quilt guild this evening...delivering one quilt...and will pick up some more. Have to share this one I made for my son in laws Rakasaans 101st Airborne unit. Its the one with the Japanese symbol in the center. It is a raffle quilt.There are quite a few customer quilts that I have failed to share.... but I just am so behind on the computer these days. This adorable baby quilt was a hit at the baby shower...what better com

pliment than...
I am so going to use this!"

Then this darling picture of me walking with the wee one...in my brothers back yard. We had such a good day...by the lake. Have a great weekend.

A visit with the wee one..... another MSU - LSU football game...and mud up to the......

I have been "abroad" again, as in visiting my mom in Pennsylvania...it was also an opportunity to meet the wee one and DD as well visiting also. Now, the wee ones reaction to my brothers borrowed mustang convertable...was about the same as his much older grandbob!!!! He was trying to figure out where to put the key in this photo! We also had to take him to Santa's workshop at the Kraynak's nursery .... a wonderful place to see beautiful Christmas trees and winter scenes. The wee one especially loved the elmo tree...but they all were wonderfully decorated. Then it was off to Daffin's candy shop....for their delectable chocolates..... don't think he fully appreciated this...but we sent off goodie boxes to the rest of the family..... and KNOW they all loved theirs. It was a wonderful visit with my mother and most of my brothers and sisters. Always a treat. Then back to Mississippi for another wet n rainy football game. This time ..... I thought I was better prepared. Had rain ponchos..... and we drove in to park in the student parking area. It was a big SEC game against LSU.... and we do have LSU connections.... as DS1 and DDil both granduated from LSU..... so had to be kind to the visiting fans.... It was a Mississippi State "white Out", fun to see and be a part of. BUt the real fun began

when we returned to the "grassy " parking area...only to have our truck stuck up to its hub caps in the mud!!! So we walked home......The Professor was not happy ....and sure didn't want me to take photos......but I sneaked in one on the way home...(sorry big guy) He was muddy, wet and ..... well we will leave it at that. We did manage to go back much later in the day...after the sun came out...and there were fewer cars in the lot..... and get it UNSTUCK.... so it is just another adventure to remember! ANother fun day in the life of an OLD college couple. We are off to another game here in a few minutes...and I am so hoping ....no rain... NONE is forecast for today. Many more quilts to share....and will do so much more quickly ...in next few days.Hope you all have a great weekend.
