Monday Morning

This is a gloomy Monday morning from my hill, but no one is complaining about rain. I had a wonderful weekend with my friend, Virginia, and family. I am sharing this photo because it makes me smile when I see it. We were celebrating my SIL's birthday. My husband was at the deer camp, so Virginia and I set out on a 3 - 4 - 5 hour trip--oh, we had a good time. First we met at the Bottletree Bakery in Oxford, MS for "The Help" birthday party. Oh, there were some dressed for the part and they looked so cute.  The party was fun. We even had chocolate pie. Then we gathered again for a nice dinner at a local restaurant--hence, the photo below.

 In photo is Shirley, SIL; Marilyn, sister; Virginia, friend; Oby, brother; Richard, Nephew-I-L; Jane, niece; Mary Claire, niece; Marianne, sister; James, BIL; and me.

The invitation said "no gifts" so I took the "happy" below. I have been busy and have not had time in my quilt shack so took time and made these potholders. I had so much fun making these and vowed to spend more time this week in my quilt shack. I have a quilt on the quilting frame and must get it finished and another one waiting the frame. Potholder pattern from Pretty Potholder.
