Preparing for our House Guest This Week
I have been busy, busy busy getting ready for our house guest who arrives on Thursday.
We have a full schedule planned for his visit. My husband's longtime friend, Craig, of 40 years will be visiting us. We are planning on eating at one of our favorite Barbecue Food Restaurants, and a trip to Las Vegas on Friday.
We are going the the Three Dog Night Concert at the Silverton Hotel in Las Vegas Friday Night. Our friend Paul Kingery (who plays one of our GUITARS) plays lead bass/guitar and sings in the band. We have all access passes so we try to meet up with them as often as we can when they are within driving distance.
On Saturday my husband is meeting up with all of his friends at the studio to jam, and Sunday - plans have changed so new plans are in the works. Monday, Craig is on his way back home to Spokane. It will be a fun time!
I have been getting the house in order and his room comfy and cozy for his arrival.
My days are full until Monday but wanted to wish every one a wonderful day!

It's A Birthday Celebration Month
We have been caught up in the madness of September Birthday Month! September is almost like Christmas in our Family. Many Birthday's, Wedding Anniversaries and we received some MOST AWESOME NEWS regarding our Grandson Cole. (I will post his video if I can).
Birthdays: Happy Birthday to My Son-In-Law Bobby, My Nephew Alex, My Grandson's Trainer Mike, ME, Kathy, My GrandNiece Siena, Jim, Christine, Cathy, and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to my Sister and Hubby, Debbie & Chuck! Lots of Cakes, Goodies and Fun!! Of Course, at MY age, EVERYDAY is a Celebration, yay; I made it another day--What am I going to do to make the most of this Beautiful Day?
NEWS: Our Grandson Cole has been racing "SOMETHING" since he was 3-4 years old. He is currently racing Cars and trucks, moving across that track at 130 miles per hour. Believe me, I LOVE to watch him race, BUT, I cringe until the race is over. He is my Grandson; I don't like the crashing parts.
So, Now he is 16 years old, an incredible driver (grandma thinks so, so it must be true) and he applied for the "Drive for Diversity" program. We found out on the 15th that he was accepted! Now he will be going thru the rest of the personal interviews process and, driving tests, etc., in North Carolina and a decision will be made if he makes it to the top 10 out of 30 kids. If so, The Family's life will change of course. This will mean a lot for his career. Here is a short description that my daughter posted on Facebook to better understand what this means.
"Cole made it to the D4D combine in north Carolina!!! They choose 30 drivers, 10 will make it!!! We ...r just excited to be invited!!If he makes the 10 that's the driver development program!!! NASCAR crew and car for a full season!!!! He's only 16 so he can continue to apply until he's 25 if he doesn't make it, but what an awesome experience!!!" WE ARE SO PROUD and HAPPY for him!
Here is Cole's Video

Here's What I have Discovered In My "OLD AGE"
"At twenty we worry about what others think of us; at forty we don't care about what others think of us; at sixty we discover they haven't been thinking about us at all."
Worth Thinking About!

My Day in The Desert, which is "Home"
Gonna Be A HOT One Today! need to go to Costco, dumb day to go though - 1st of the month and holiday weekend, might just bite the bullet and do it anyway!
Back from Costco! WOW, it was not as bad as I anticipated. We were there with all the "OLD people", all the younger ones must be on their way to their vacation spot. Was able to escape there without having to mortgage everything, trying to keep Michael under control was another thing! He bought a fish with eyes, going to have it for lunch and not even chop its head off! YUK!! Red Snapper.
My Husband Michael states and I quote - "Today's main lunch entree: Grilled whole Snapper stuffed with cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, cilantro and white wine infused garlic butter. Baste with garlic butter between turning and serving. I love a meal that looks you in the eyes while you eat it. MMMmm Good!"
Another Dining Experiment, have to admit - it was tasty!

An Ear of Corn with Bacon wrapped around it, in foil and placed on the Grill.
OFF to the Races tomorrow, COLE (our 16 year old Grandson) Will be Racing his Car at Irwindale, CA, The whole family plus Friends will be there. We will all be wearing Red, Black and White, his colors!
Have a Wonderful Weekend EVERYONE!

What Happened to Life Slowing Down after 50?
OK, This has been a MOST challenging Week so far and it's ONLY Wednesday!! JEEZ
So I have adopted the attitude, it didn't happen until later this afternoon, but; "Let's get all the Crap outta the way and move on to better, more positive things." It has been a very busy time for us...Not all money making which is the frustrating part. Just keeping up with all of life's responsibilities and unforeseen changes; that happen almost daily!
I have been trying to weed out the "dead weight" in my Twitter accounts. I Managed to purge one account today, one more to go. I found out that I had 779 people as "dead weight" that were not following me back. Well, that is not good because it throws your ratios off and will effect your ranking on google search; learn something everyday..Guess it helps to have a husband who teaches this stuff.
I have also been trying to rearrange my stores, get them more organized and specialized. Preparing for the Holidays, can you believe that! But, if you think about it they ARE right around the corner.
I am offering a 30% off sale in my Fabric Store on Etsy. Awesome, Beautiful Fabrics. Mostly Upholstery Fabrics, but they are perfect for all sorts of projects such as; Aprons, Handbags, Coin Purses, Jackets and of course all kinds of Home Decor. Some of them are light enough in weight to actually make clothing. I also have some VINTAGE fabrics that I listed recently (still have not listed the whole lot) and a variety of 44/45" quilt/dress Fabrics. I need to sell my inventory because we will be relocating and I DO NOT want to MOVE these Pretties.
Just wanted to check in--I feel bad for neglecting my Blog. WELCOME to my Followers, it is much easier to post when you know that SOMEONE is actually paying attention. It was hard talking to myself there for awhile, LOL.
Have a Wonderful evening!
