A Picture and a Paragraph - times a few.

Well... everyday more evidence shows that our 2 year old Golden Retriever may be pregnant... But then I wonder, maybe she was like that last week and I just don't remember... Or maybe she's ALWAYS been that touchy and moody... She definitely hasn't calmed down much yet...

Does she LOOK pregnant?

Here is the bits of the Easter dress that I'm making for Tiffany. It's from the Burda magazine, so I won't let you see it until Easter when she's wearing it. She kind of fancies herself a modern day hippie and she designed it from fabrics that I had. I think it's going to look great on her. It did especially when it had wings. She actually flew around the house pretending to be Batman. btw... She's 19.I had a talk with Meri and since she REALLY wanted to make the dress for Easter herself and I'm not going to have the time or patience to help make this happen before then... I talked her into a different dress that I'm going to make for her. Then she can make the party type dress at her leisure before the county 4H fair this summer. I found some purple knit fabric that will look cool for this. I may need to line it, but I'm not sure how much fabric I've got yet. Still in the planning phase, but I've gotten the pattern pieces traced out. The one I have isn't in her size, so I'm making adjustments to it.
The lilac bushes are starting to bud out!!! WOOHOO! I'm thinking I need to trim back on the bushes outside my office window tho, or I won't be able to see the UPS guy when he comes to the door...
Meri's self defense presentation at the 4H Communication Contest went well last weekend. However the times got jumbled around due to a funeral and hardly anyone was there to learn self defense or any of the other working exhibits. We kept sending Maddy back to her booth so she would appear busy. Meri taught her 7 times...
Maddy not only got an outstanding solo yesterday for her vibes playing during the State Jazz Championships, but she also got in the top 4 performers and brought home a plaque and a $150 gift certificate to the jazz or band camp of her choice this summer! Do you know how many "Once at band camp" jokes she heard yesterday? A plethora!

Plethora is my word for the day. I have to use it 10 times in valid sentences during the course of the day.

Yesterday was Tse Tse fly.

Yes... I think my inner Erma Bombeck is showing...
