umbrella.

sugarpinequiltshop: A very wonderful small but filled with fabric store.

Beads Galore across the street from Ben Franklin
Didn't make it to this one.



I had the Club Croissant, it was delish with homemade Blue Cheese Dressing.

Margaret had the Pulled Pork Sliders. She loved them, and would come back for it again.
Barbara had the house special Crab Louie and had to exchange the aioli because it was a little to spicy,  but totally enjoyed it.
The other lady that was with us had The Turkey Guadalajara and ate the whole thing.
We were able to sit by this beautiful fountain and enjoy the scenery.

*Fabrics on Mill Street*



Looking in the 50% off bin. They found several patterns to take home.
There were a lot of apron patterns I would like to go back and get.
*Wild Plum Home and Garden*
*Tess’ Kitchen Store*

Last stop was the confection store so I can bring home some Blackjack gum, but they were out and always have a back order. (Sorry Thomas). But I did buy some zotz and cow tails.

It was a wonderful day and can't wait for the next trip.
The next Red Thread Sewciety meeting will be on
May 21 at 10:00
in which our next project will be handed out.
Can't wait.
 HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL WEEKEND ALSO!!

Tree limbs

Had a scare this morning around 1:00 am. We heard this loud rumble and thought someone was breaking into the back screen. When the backyard light went on, there was a tree branch on our patio right in between the fence and our bedroom. You couldn’t get to the other half of the backyard. It was pretty scary not knowing if the whole thing was going to fall on my bedroom. All morning I heard another loud creek and the branch falling farther down. Could not sleep.

Mike my brother in law came over to check it out. He’s the one with the chain saw and has cut many trees being the the forestry.

When I came home from work the branch was pretty well trimmed up. Good job Mike, tomorrow Tim will help him finish. We will have some nice firewood to stack for next year.

The chairs are were Tim Jr. smokes his cigarettes. We’ve been teasing him all day about how lucky he was that it didn’t happen earlier.
I spent Sunday working, it was fun though. We drove Bayside Church in Granite Bay to Arco Arena for a special event. The band was assume and spent some time listening in a special suite the church provided for  drivers.

It took 25 buses to bring all of the members to the arena.
Here are some more pictures of the event

ACCORDING TO FLY LADY
This Week we are in: Zone 2 - the Kitchen


Habit for April is Making your Bed: http://www.flylady.net/pages/focus_apr.asp

Zone 2: Mission #1 Monday   DONE

Today we are going to scrub down the counter tops, I don't mean to just wipe a rag across them, I mean hot soapy water and you wipe down the counters from front to back and side to side. Just move your toaster (or coffee pot or whatever this is an example here! :>) ) over to one side and wipe down the counter, then move over a foot or so, move aside what is there and wipe down some more and so on. We are not marathon cleaning the kitchen here, just getting all the crumbs and junk that tends to build up behind and under things.

Monday: Weekly Home Blessing   DONE


1. Weekly Home Blessing Hour

a. Cull/toss old magazines.

b. Change sheets.

c. Empty all the trash.

d. Vacuum all rooms.

e. Mop kitchen and bath.

f. Clean mirrors and doors.

g. Feather Dust furniture.

Zone 2: Mission #2 Tuesday

Today we are going to clean your kitchen trash cans!! Take out the trash and wash those cans out! Use a soapy rag and wipe down the sides and the bottom. Some of you may need to take the can outside and spray it out with the hose. If you have a lid, don't forget to clean the underside.

Zone 2: Mission #3 Wednesday   DONE

Get an old toothbrush and some soap and scrub those kitchen sink faucets! You will be amazed at how much gunk and grime will come off around the handles! You shine your sink everyday but today we are going to make those faucets sparkle! Take the toothbrush and scrub the underside as well, the buildup that can happening is stunning! Be gentle with some of these faucets, the gaskets can be fragile!


Zone 2: Mission #4 Thursday


Today we are going after the surfaces of big appliances! Wipe off the fingerprints, the spills and the dried food that gets stuck on the stove, the dishwasher and the refrigerator. Wipe down the doors, the handles and the surfaces. This is not a detailed cleaning mission where you need to spend hours scrubbing, just 15 minutes to surface clean your large appliances.


Zone 2: Mission #5 Friday


Today is our last day in the Kitchen!! For today I want you to grab your broom and your mop. Sweep your kitchen floor really well and then mop. There are several ways to mop a kitchen floor and no real wrong way. Hot soapy water and wipe. There is no "perfect" mop and no "perfect" way to do it. Just Do It!

Check out what you should do in your garden Zone 8 and chores to keep your house running smooth.Favorite section is Garden and Home checklist

MY BREAKFAST WAS, yes I can finally order from the Senior menu. A long time awaiting. I thought the plate would be smaller because I fill up fast, but I still took home a doggy bag for the dogs.

Senior Scrambled Eggs & Cheddar Breakfast
Two scrambled eggs with Cheddar cheese. Served with two bacon strips, two sausage links and two buttermilk pancakes they were so good. I sub 2 more bacon instead of sausage.




Tim’s pick was:

Lumberjack Slam®
Two buttermilk pancakes, a slice of grilled ham, two bacon strips, two sausage links and two eggs, plus hash browns or grits and choice of bread and ordered a large milk.

The total came to:
