Labor Day

This has been a very busy weekend for me.  I left work early on Friday and went to Costco and then Williamson's Orchard.  Mom and Dad came with me to the orchard and we had homemade ice cream after our purchases of fruits and vegetables had been made.  I also did some wine tasting while there as they have a tasting room now.  Came home with a bunch of stuff to can.  That night I felt like getting out and ended up going to Corino's and a movie with the dm (dear man).  He told me I don't have to go to movies alone any more which I thought was sweet.  Then he sat through "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" with me. : ) 

Saturday I did a bit of canning but was frustrated because I wasn't having a good go of it.  My neighbor came down for a visit, so canning was halted in it's tracks.  Then I took dinner to the dm's house.  Nothing fancy just tacos.  So easy when it is in the freezer and you just grab taco meat and fixings.  I am a firm believer in having meals prepped and in the freezer.

Sunday went to church early to help the dm because they would be short handed.  He bought me breakfast and then we went in.  He was glad I volunteered to help because there were a lot of people that didn't show up.  After church it was out to lunch and then looking at Corvettes.  Convertibles no less.  I got a bit of an education in the different body styles.  Always amazes me how me can memorize the different body changes but I guess that is no different then us recognizing the styles of our favorite cross stitch designers.  Also went to Barnes and Noble and picked up the lates "Just CrossStitch" magazine and the cookbook called "Don't Panic More Dinner's in the Freezer".  I have the first one which I recommend.  The boys were looking at it today and putting their orders in.  lol

Today has been a day of canning tomato sauce and just relaxing.  Did a bit on my tapestry cross stitch and will post a picture if I ever get the first page done.

So here is my progress on Virginie this week.  Not much done really since the Christmas presents are started and being worked on.

I also have made some progress on my crocheted table cloth.  It is slowly getting there. 

Not sure if I will be able to fit it all in the picture next time.  Would like to have it done by Christmas but will see.  Life has gotten busy for me which isn't a bad thing at all.  Enjoying it. : )

Might have some pictures to post next time of some of the Christmas gifts that I can share.  In the mean time....

Happy Stitching!
