New quilt
So, this is what I am working on now. It's a Hearts quilt that is embroidered Applique. This one is more orange and pink, where mine has a blue background with green and pink hearts. Aurora, my sewing machine, knows how to applique and embroider. Now I have to figure it out. It took 3 hours to make ONE block. I stayed for 3 more hours and got 2 more blocks finished. I think this one will take awhile. This quilt is NOT for snuggling. It will be for hanging. I still have all the other projects I am still working on.Blegens and Kelli
okay so not too much going on around here. im pulling about 30 hours a week at work. mainly night shifts on week days from 4-11 and saturdays are either 11-7 or 230-11. tristen is starting softball this upcoming week along with her birthday. nate is ready for school to be out and derrick is just working. as for me, im looking forward to grandma sue and my mom coming. as for i have not seen my mom for a entire year. so thats all from here. hope all is well everywhere else.

Japanese Maple
Working in the Family History Center can be rather exciting, and productive. I enjoy helping others research their family tree. Most people are very appreciative, and often will give me a gift. Yesterday a black gentleman I have been helping brought me two Japanese Maple trees.The picture at the top is NOT them. They are just two little trees about 3-4 feet tall, all bound up in a sack, just waiting to be planted. It's going to be up in the 90's again, so I will just put them in the shade until it cools down for a few days. I sure hope they live.
The yard is already full of pine and oak trees, so a bright red tree will be nice. I'll let you know if Sherrill will be able to keep it alive!
Meghan and Rigel
This is Meghan and her boyfriend Rigel. They old hands outside and are always together.
I'll be gone
I have a quilting class this morning in Fayettevile, so if you're looking for me, I'll be gone. You
can always call and talk to Sherrill though.
I'm off to se the wizard..............

Carter then, Carter now
The first picture was taken Monday before Lauren and Carter's ball game. The second picture was taken tonight after a birthday party for one of Carter's cousins. Who would have thought a party would have done more damage that a base ball? Poor little Carter. Guess Minnie Mouse will have to kiss it to make it feel better. Grandma will miss you CarCar. You to Izzy and Lauren.Y'all have fun!

Christy's new medicine
Christy went and got her new medication........Seroquel.....used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Now, please tell me, how does schizophrenia relate to muscle twitching and jerking?
I told Christy that I would NOT take the medicine. She called Kurt's uncle that's a nurse, and he also suggested that she NOT take the medicine. He is going to check with someone tomorrow to see what they recommend. Christy and her disease. I just don't know what to think!

All about Christy
OK, Here's the rundown of medications Christy has been on.
1. Amantavine (Treatment for Parkinsons)
2. Cyclobenzaprine (Muscle relaxant)
3. Baclofen (Muscle relaxant and antispastic agent)
4. Lorazepam (What she is taking now) (treats anxiety disorders, nausea, vomiting, alcohol withdrawal)
She gets a new medicine tonight because she thinks the lorazepam is causing her to feel tired.
That's about all I know. I'll let you all know what new med she starts. This is alot of stuff to keep up with. Pretty soon she will have a full medicine cabinet!
Kenny has started on multiplication tables........in the second grade. Have any of you other 2nd graders Nate, Seth, or Eli started with multiplication yet?
Good bye all. Time for the news!

No post for today
Sorry there was no post for today. I spent the day in Greenville with Uncle Rudy. You can imagine how much fun that was!
In the meantime, Christy is busy making her coupon bags. Oh, and she has found a Dr in Las Vegas that has treated sydenham chorea patients. Mandy continues to work while Daniel is in Chicago. Kat is doing the regular Kat stuff, and is attempting to design a web page for Sherrill's painting business. Oh, and she just went to a Coupon Bloggers meeting in Phoenix for the weekend. Abby was just at a festival in Smithfield, and I think they will be leaving soon for Disneyland. Cameron is finishing up soccer, and Olivia will be getting ready for her dance recital. No reports on the Blegen kids or Kelli. I know Kelli is getting ready for that graduation next weekend.
And for the rest of the family. I saw on Brittni's facebook page that the town they (Cathy, Tristen ,and Brit) live in is Ocean City, Mississippi. Brandon and Daniel are in Fairfax, Va. selling pesticides door to door. And I guess Larry is HOME ALONE.
Grandma has been waxing and buffing her floors, and complaining of her knee hurting and her back hurting. A little girl across the street had offered to help her do things, but then she told mom she was an atheist, so mom doesn't want her in the house. I told mom I would do the floors when I got there! But no, she MUST do them herself. Oh that woman! You can't help but love her.
That's all I know. Take care everyone, and remember.........
I love you!

Happy Birthday to Kurt
This is a such a happy day, in 1977 Kurt was born and in 2001 we were married. I love that man. He cooks, clean, and watches kids. Love you honey!!
Digital tv
Since my return home from the west my digital tv has been messed up. The volume goes out, the picture turns into what looks like puzzle pieces. I keep calling, they keep resending a signal,
and I keep having to reboot the tv. Finally, after a week without the Young and the Restless, I called for a repairman. I called about 2 channels that I couldn't get, NBC and CBS. Well, the repairman came and couldn't fix it. The original remote has been long gone, probably 5-6 years ago after a trip from Christopher. He use to always hide the remotes before he left.
Somehow, the V Chip had been set where we can not get channels 7 and 9. He said one of the neighbors might have blocked out those channels, and could have blocked out ours. So, now in order to watch channels 7 and 9 we have to order a new remote, so we can reset the v chip.
Well when I called the TV manufacturer, they asked the usual name, address, phone number, then they asked Date of Birth. I just rattled everything off, because the cable man was here.
After he left, I realized, why does a TV manufacturer need to know my date of birth. Thank goodness for REDIAL on the phone. I called the company back and asked them, why does a TV repairman need to know my date of birth. then she said, "Were you asking about a V-chip"?
"Yes," I said, "how did you know?" "That's the only time we ask for a date of birth. You have to be at least 18 years old for us to tell you how to reset the V Chip"! Here I was a 55 year old woman and couldn't reset a V chip. For all of you younguns out there that CAN reset a v chip, please tell your parents that I said, "If you are old enough to know how to reset a v chip on a TV, you are old enough to look at women's boobs!" Grandma said!
Perhaps it is time to go back to the simpler life and just 3 tv stations. At least that way I will be able to get CBS and NBC.

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY !

Trip to the zoo
Snow
Well is is the beginning of May and we are having a snow storm. That's crazy. I think that when those earthquakes were going off last month all over the world. It changed the north pole. It is now centred over Utah.
Well the rest of the kids are doing just great. We are home teaching Luke, until school starts next year. Kenneth has just finished us some end of course testing. Catherine is still a diva. Jacob likes the floor. He just rolls and rolls all over the place. Kurt is still working at home and at work. I am still shaking in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon. I have from about 4 hours a day that I feel good. So I try and get stuff done. As for Bella, she is just barking and trying to excape the kitchen. Well that's all from the McEwan house.
