steve

Steve's birthday was this month, we all went to the Hangar for dinner, and then had a nice turkey dinner with pecan pie the next night.  Oh, if you have never made mashed red potatoes, do it.  Yum!  I cheated and tasted a bite, they were so smooth.  I added a bit of sour cream to them also.



Steve has been busy with wood again.. he and Larry are making an enormous bed for Larry and Kelly.. I am jealous! It has a massive headboard, a footboard and drawers.  It is made out of Hickory, and I have yet to see it.  Tonight Steve and I are going out to dinner, so I'll go and take a peek.. and a picture.  He is building me some shelves/cabinets for my dining room, and those should be up sometime in late April.  He also painted, helped me move into, and built me more shelves in my new scrapbooking room.  It's quite lovely and girly in there. I'll take a picture of my new room tonight too.
He is such a wonderful man.  I am very blessed.

nice snowy day

So tomorrow is the last day of February.  How did it go by so quickly?  I figured I need to write something before it's long gone.  I've not been in much of a blogging mood this year, nothing new is really happening.  Well, that's not exactly true.. Larry and Kelly moved into their first house!  It's really nice and they are getting all settled in.  Ed and Adam are living there too, Kelly is always surrounded by great guys.  :-)

It's finally snowing again, although it's supposed to turn to rain later today. It's been such an odd winter/spring month.  But I've loved it. I wish I had taken more pictures, but sadly no.  Hannah, Latecia, and Ashleigh have taken awesome ones though.

I have been knitting, and have 3 different shawls on my needles.  And we had our second ladies craft night at the Calvary house.  It is so much fun to have a nice group of ladies sitting around chatting, listening to music, and doing whatever, just being girls.  I love it.

On the yarn front, one of my favorite online yarn shops is closing, and woolgirl was having some amazing sales.  Can you say Janet spent her paycheck? And then Three Irish Girls went and decided to move her shop from Washington DC to Duluth, and had her very own sale.  ugh and yay.  I am now officially on a yarn diet. A very strict one. :-)

I guess that's all for now.  I must go and see if I have another scrabble move to make... I have discovered scrabble on my I-Phone; and I'm addicted.  I love scrabble! If you have an Iphone, go get the words with friends app and text me.. I'll play with you.  :-)))))))))))))
