My day yesterday, and PhD Giveaway....

To all my fellow Canadians...

143 years young!!! 8-)
I hope you all had a wonderful day!!!

Yup! The big "five O" yesterday! All day long... lol! 8-)

Do I feel any different? Oh ya!!!! .... NOT!
Life goes on in the craziness that 2010 has brought to our family... 8-)

My cousin B came by in the morning yesterday with this wonderful basket of bath-time goodies... plus chocolate!!!

Then she took me out for lunch to Cora's Restaurant.
This was her plate...

... and this was my plate! Yum!!
Aren't they just so wonderfully colorful!?! 8-)We ate outside in the courtyard...
Thanks for the visit and goodies B!!! 8-)

In the evening I brought a b-day cake to share with my Crescentwood Quilt Group, which is what the birthday girl does, and is gifted with fat-quarters in the colors/prints of her choice.
These are my goodies! Thanks ladies!! 8-)

I hadn't seen my quilting friends, in any of my 3 groups, for about 4 weeks, so it was nice to see some last night! We even had 1 sew and tell.

This is Sw's baby quilt she made. She is still considered one of our newbie quilters, at 75!! Good job Sw! 8-)

I then picked up and moved, a van full of boxes with DD1, from her apartment to our basement. She is slowly moving the majority of her belongings here, waiting to move down to the farm (hopefully before Christmas!) after her wedding in August ... Giving more space for DD2 to make the apartment a home for her and MrRose in the time before their September wedding.... Things are starting to heat up between the siblings... if you know what I mean?! 8-)
