Lots of Laughs

I have not seen much of my BFF lately, but this weekend we made up for lost time.

Last night we went to dinner at the "Purple Cow."  She had a coupon for buy a meal get a meal.  It was okay, but we are way too old to be eating there.  It was loud due to all the screaming children, and  if the kids weren't screaming there was one waiter that would shout really loud.  I don't think we will be going back. 

After dinner we went to pick up some Christmas gifts for her adopted soldiers (she is a "Soldier's  Angel") and then it was home to talk and look up items on Amazon.

Today she came over before noon and we went to lunch at "Desperados" followed by more Christmas shopping and a stop at Target for more sale items.  Once the shopping was complete, we came home and sandwiched the king size Civil War quilt she is making her son. We ran out of pins and needed quilt clips so we stopped and ran down to the fabric store.  The quilt is now sandwiched and ready for machine  quilting. 

While she was ironing the top and backing of the quilt today, I went through my project boxes to organize and remind myself what I had ready to sew.  I discovered that I did not have all the fabric to one of the quilt kits I was going to start this weekend which is extremely disappointing.  

Throughout the day there were lots of laughs. Of course BFF forgot and left the lid down on the toilet, which I hate, but she got distracted by all the recyclables I had laying around the bathroom, and the fact that the bathroom trash needed to be emptied.  I should have told her about the laundry. She loves laundry.

To make the day even better I had a nice chat with my brother, and a short chat with my youngest.  Not sure where my oldest is today, but I bet it is some where with his girlfriend.

BFF and I also decided we would go see Leon Russell when he is in town.  I am sure we will invite the girls when we see them for dinner tomorrow night, but I bet they don't know who he is, or care.
