National Puzzle Day




Who knew they have a national holiday for this?
One of my favorite things to do...

They say there are more adults than kids into puzzle fixing. I'm just glad my grandkids are not two of them. We fix a lot of puzzles together. We are now up to 300-500 pieces.

I'm OK!

I think it is so cute when the Flory boys are rough housing around and one takes a tumble and shouts I'm OK.

Well, this is a shout out just to say I'm OK.
I have been sharing my life stories here for 12 years now and I'm wondering if what I have to say is of any importance to anyone.
Anyway....
Things are pretty steady here at the Millikan household.
We have been busy laying flooring in Steve's new house. Lumber liquidators wanted $4000 to do it.  Mike and I are pretty handy so we offered. Steve is not moving back here till July so we have plenty of time. We got the 2 bedrooms and a hallway done and had to take a break till the guys installing the new bathrooms finish. Can't work without a working toilet.
Mike in the mean time has the new kitchen sink and light fixtures done. Working on Steve's house has been good for Mike. He is keeping busy and helping a friend at the same time.

We had a cold start to the new year and I got a quilt top done staying indoors.

It was a Christmas gift from Bryan and Mary - another kit. A miniature wall hanging that I'm gonna add a border too and use as a table cloth.
I finally got my longarm sewing machine back from the shop - I took it in for a tune up. I can't wait to get back into doing the quilting on my projects.

The weather has been warm and cold. One day Sharen and I are walking in the snow catching snowflakes on our tongues and eyelashes and the next day the snow is all gone and the sun is shining. I go from wanting to go sledding to going golfing.

I'm gonna get back to bragging about my grandkids and writing stupid stuff about me - I promise.
