Fly Like an Eagle, Sew Like the Wind

We are off tomorrow to Yosemite for a visit with db and dsil, and the Eagles concert at the Calaveras County fairgrounds.

Every night this week has been busy busy.

Monday night: I forgot what we did Monday night, but we were busy.

Tuesday night: Dinner and a massage at dd's (who recently graduated from Sebastopol Massage Center. She needs practicum hours. 'Practicum' means 'free massage'. Lucky us! I managed to get that 3rd princess seam blouse fitting in, and it's lookin' good (but not there yet).

Wednesday night: Breastfeeding class w/other dd, where I was very, but pleasantly, surprised to find former Planning Commissioner Vinny D. on the Positive Images of Breastfeeding calendar. He's gazing adoringly at his baby's mama as she nurses their wee babe. It's a sweet picture; I was surprised, that's all. Before and after the class I traced off newborn baby clothes patterns form Kwik-Sew's Sewing for Baby. I really wanna get a blanket and kimono made by dd's baby shower next Saturday.

Thursday night: Planning Commission (I take the minutes--that clicking you hear? That's me typing!). Once at home, I cooked food for our Yosemite weekend. I missed the night of prayer and worship at Giving Tree church, but dh was there playing bass guitar.

That brings us up to date. No computer in Yosemite, so no blogging. Back Monday. Have a good weekend.

I So Want to Sew

The pattern is cut out and pressed, the cutting mat is laid out on the table, and pre-washed fabric calls out to me. What is missing? TIME, that's what! And if there's a little time to be had there has been NO ENERGY left to git 'r done. But things are picking up and I hope to have 4 dark blue knit work shirts made this weekend for dh. I just bought him a coupla pair of olive green 'Big Daddy Cargo Pants' at Penneys. Finding work pants for Dh that fit, are comfortable and don't rip the first day on the job has been an adventure. These pants look great on him and they are stretch twill! Yay! I had picked up some black and brick-colored knit collars at The Place That Sells Sewing Machines but now I have olive-colored pants...what to do? Here's what: I'm going to try and find matching olive knit or woven material to use on the work shirt placket and (maybe) collar! How coordinated he will be! Oddly, dh doesn't seem as excited about this as I am....

You Were Born in California and Have Never Been to Yosemite?

Until 2 days ago, I would have had to answer, "Nope, never been there." But now I can proudly say, "I have been to Yosemite. I have seen the highest waterfall in the United States, El Capitan, and Half Dome." We joined my brother Bobby and sister-in-law Dee Dee, along with nephew Jeremy, neice Sierra and her hubby Josiah and their little girls Havilah and Gigi for a whirlwind of a weekend that managed to be both exciting and relaxing. On Saturday Bobby & Dee Dee took us on a one-day tour of Yosemite (more pics in the Gallery ). The scenery was tremendous. If there's this much natural beauty just 4 hours from where I live, what wonders must heaven hold? I really enjoyed seeing the families from all over the world. Saturday night Darren & I saw the Eagles at Calaveras County fairgrounds. Great concert. Sunday we kicked back. We did not get enough of Yosemite though and may return this winter.
