Back to the Valley

Down for a few days: Mom lunch, Lee dinner and Book of Me. I thought I might run over to the quilt store while down here. Thinking of making a lap quilt for Lee's mom for Christmas. Her fav color is blue so it should be easy. Went shopping with mom and had a fun time. Found a tv table for Paolo. That's her Christmas gift from me. She's always so grateful for anything. I left Sedona with Mark but in another week she'll be down here as well. I felt like it was so hot here. I'm sure it's that I'm used to cooler all day. Still have my home work to do for class. Later........

Busy week and have had fun...

Spent part of last week in the valley. Went to Jean's card class, loved it!!!! Then lunch with the girls, even better. Back up to Prescott and went to the Fall craft fair on Sat. Believe it or not!!! I didn't buy anything except a Funnel cake. Ha! Can never pass those yummies up. Been looking for a refrigerator ONLY unit for the garage and found one on CL that is only a year old. They were moving and needed to sell it YEAH!!! Didn't dream I'd ever find one like this. Off to Hobby Lobby for an exchange and of course, some shopping. Meleah is in CA I think but have had no contact. Very sad situation!!! but life goes on.

Rough day emotionally...

Shawna's BF (ex) has decided to take Meleah back to Nev. to her grandmother's. I honestly didn't think it would effect me either way but I have cried most of the morning. She is such an innocent 12 yr old and tries so hard but without structure, discipline and gypsy moving around lifestyle I don't see how she'll ever succeed at anything. I had become a surrogate grandma and gave her positive reinforcement when she did well - something she has never been exposed to. Her mother is in Orlando on a church mission so will be thrown in with several other grandchildren. I know I can't save the world but I had hoped to have the opportunity to save on special little girl. Blessings to Meleah.........

Fall is here, finally!!

Woke up this am and wow!!! it was cool temps and I was buried under my down comforter. Sedona joined me in the wee hours because she actually got a chill on her furry coat. She buries herself so deep that I'm always afraid I'll wake up and she'll be dead from suffocation. HA! Had a wonderful day yesterday with Jean and Kristin. They were up for business and Jean and I shopped and then had lunch with all three of us at Casa Sanchez. YUM! Kristin says it's the best cheese crisp she's ever had - could be, they are awful good. Picking up today and baking a cake for the weekend. Think I'll do cinnimon struesel. Sounds good, hugh?? So ready for this weather, it's my very, very favorite time of the year and it just gets better as the weeks roll into winter.
