MERRY CHRISTMAS MAX

Finally Max got her Canon 5D Mark 2.  OMG I am sure she thought it was never going to happen.  They have been back ordered FOREVER and most of the camera places are not even taking orders or names for a waiting list. I ordered her camera locally from Wolf Camera, but she was surfing the web and found ONE at Best Buy.  She bought it quickly because it was listed as in stock and went to the store to pick it up.  Luckily she was able to get someone on the phone to actually grab the camera and hold it for her.  Needless to say she is one happy camper right now!

This weekend we wanted to get the sprinklers in order since we laid the sod in the back yard and the rain is going to stop sooner or later.  Ha - simple project - NOT!  We had not really looked at the sprinklers since we had the addition and unfortunately we had some pipes that had been cut (the ones running to the garden) and they did not get capped before they were buried under the BRICKS!  Well now two are capped and the other was extended to add a sprinkler head at the corner of the new sod.  The bricks went back in better than was expected - hassle to get them out and hassle to put them back.

On Friday we (Max, Kathy, Paul, Michael and I) took Jesse's car to him in Volcano.  He fixed us hamburgers - which were great).  He was very happy with his vehicle and it drove very nicely up there. Handled the freeway just fine and the mountains equally well. Not bad gas mileage and comfortable.

I finished a quilt top I have been working on (Denise will love it cause it is from purple scraps of material).  It was a new pattern and the border was suppose to be something different, but all the pieces and diamonds and half diamonds were a bit much for me and I decided to throw in the towel and just go with a traditional border.  I really like the pattern of the quilt and it would be fun to do a truly scrap quilt that way.

Later . . .
