Patrick Has Moved Out

Patrick (20) has moved out to live with his girlfriend Brooke , the first bird to leave the nest, feels very odd not having him here .
He invited myself and his dad for dinner last night he cooked Beef stroganoff with Rice which was lovely

Glad I taught him to cook LOL

Long time

Well it has been a long time since I have logged into this blog
My aim is to try and get to it a bit more

Have gotten back into dog showing and really enjoying it again
Have been really slack with the quilting and am going to try and set aside a few hours each week just for me to sew and get to my list which is on the right hand side

Rhiannon's eye is still not good after her accident at school so back to the Drs there and Braedan is back on his machine again and will be for a couple of years so the Dr's believe

Going to be working at the craft fair again this year which will be great and hope to get back to my Tapestry and to take up a cross stitch as well
Lots of plans LOL
