I am sure the marrieds will be thrilled today,

 appears Grandmama was unable to hold on to her bowling title last night.  However,

 Hubby did well (second game, of course!)

  I decided I wanted to be able

 to move today and stopped after the first round.

I do have a few questions however:

 just who's idea was it to go bowling after an all-you-care-to-eat dinner?

  And on a Saturday night?

 I don't think I have ever seen so many people bowling as I did last night...

and why was it boys against the girls?

  Who won, the boys or the girls?

  For that matter, who did win?

Fun time, fun family, and yummy food

 no one had to do dishes...but,

 did anyone remember I was supposed to feed the missionaries last night?

Weeknight Get Together- -February 16, 2012

 February 16, 2012

Weeknight Meeting

We gathered at 6:30,

 you know, very promptly.

  Actually,

we all kind of strolled in

 as we could and

 left when we wished to.

There were sewing machines

 set up to put together our envelopes,

 an ironing station

 to put on that "finishing touch",

 a table full of beads

 and elastic

 and doohickey things

 which could

 "snap" or "pinch"

 depending on

 which end you had hold of.

And amongst it all

 were bunches of chairs, 

lots of smiling women

 and of course,

 the ever present yummy treat.

I am a firm believer in

 "there has to be a treat on the table to work with,

 else wise nothing

 works out quite right".

Every now and again,

 all of us sisters

 would stop what we were doing, look up and give a cheer!

Someone had just finished

 an envelope!

We sisters were visiting

 one with another,

 sharing our experiences,

 and enjoying a night "out".

  Great progress was made,

 I think everyone went home with something completed,

 and I went home with no left overs (except

 for some conversation hearts

 I will put

 into the Grandkid treat jar). 

I enjoyed

 a wonderful evening

 sharing with the sisters

 in our ward,

 and smiling,

 and laughing

 and chatting

 and.....

you get the picture.

  Speaking of pictures,

 my abilities

 with my camera phone

 aren't fantastic

 so I kept them small,

 but I thought

 it might be fun

 to see

 and remember.

 

Pink Flannel Smiles

Pink Flannel...

Let me say that again, 

PINK FLANNEL!!!

Yes, you got it, Pink Flannel is done!

I never thought I would get to the end of all of those ruffles, but Holy Cow, I finally did!

Yipee!

This special request gown is a size 28/30, is for someone very tall who loves, absolutely loves ruffles with lace.  That is 6 rows on each side of the center front buttons of gathered ruffles accented with a wide white lace and the sleeves each have 6 rows of ruffles as well.  Let's face it, I am thrilled to be done with this one before the weekend begins.  So, yes, I am still smiling...

A New Game

 With T and Zack a new game appeared...

Grandma and Pa Peavler gave the game

to some of the marrieds for Christmas this year.  

I was told it was tons of fun and we would like it.

  But, I have never played it.

So T and Zack brought out the cards Saturday night and Hubby and I learned how to play Five Crowns!

We played 3 rounds, learning as we went...

only three cards in a run?

you can do whatever you want?

the cards all need to be the same suit in a run?

wait a minute, you can play one card and two wild cards together?

what is wild this time?

how many cards this time?

so, who is winning anyway?

Yes, we had many questions but my favorite was early the next morning, Sunday, so 8 a.m. was a bit early, Hubby says to me,

"Do you want to get the kids up so we can play?"

Yes, children you have me to thank for allowing everyone to sleep in.  I kept Hubby from "pouncing" you in your beds.  He knows where the keys are...

Thanks for teaching us a new game T and Zack.   

so now, I am going to have to save up the dollars so I can buy my own!
