so, i went with my son and his wife to the BIG E, great place, loved it, lots of people and all kinds of stuff to see and check out.
long drive over 2 hours just to get there but well worth the trip. we saw the beagle brigade, the beagles that inspect luggage at the airports from the international flights, they look for fruit, vegetables, plants and meat, all bad stuff to bring into this country. they are so cute, and hard workers, very passive and gentle, very impressive animals.
we saw the butter sculpture, not great this year, but still very good.
we saw cows and alphas, pigs, baby chicks, and the Clydesdale horses, which i love.
we then toured the state buildings, way to many people, but good food.
when we left we went over to the Yankee Candle shoppe, which i loved, they had this dragon weather vane which i want so bad!!! but my wallet said no, so i came home with some great candles and that was it.
but it was a good day, good company, and interesting place to go, and great place to watch people, we even saw a man dressed as Superman, complete with plastic wig!

So, I started this blog in the effort to get something done. I decided that I needed help becoming organized and I hoped that by putting in writing some of the things that I wanted to accomplish, it would give me enough incentive to actualy finish something for a change.
So, my list, Stuff I Want to do.
1. Go somewhere, it doesn't have to be a great distance or something special, but something, somewhere, just to go and do something.
2.I love paper craft, so I want to do something with it, I want to be able to start a paper project and get it done! I think to start something with flowers, not too involved, but flowers, leaves and maybe a bud and of course a stem with it, hearts, squares, circles, all can be used for a frame.
3. Finsih some of the quilt projects that my mother left me, she had quilts, pot holders, lap quilts lots of stuff, and now that I have it all I need to finish something, get it done
4. A black dress, everyone needs one, and I want to make a black dress, something simple straight,nothing fancy or complicated, but something that will suit my frame and make me feel good about my self
5.exercise! Something we all talk about, but something need to do, I don't feel good about myself and a big part of it is my weight, I need to loose weight and tone up. That is important to me (this one should be
#really)
6. bake something!! rolls, i SOOOO want to learn to make good rolls, the smell of rolls baking in the oven, the fluffy rolls that the butter just melts and drips from, and puff pastry, i don't know how to use it or what to do with it, it always looks so good and rich, i just need to learn how.
