Joe is 40!!

Yesterday was Joe's birthday. Joe and Sandi, MJ and Andy and Pammy came for dinner. Sandi is doing OK but the doctor says the baby is ready and the due date is 2 weeks away. She looks terrific but is not that comfortable now. We are getting anxious to meet our new little guy. I did not get a photo of MJ and none of me but here are the 2 I did get. KK is on vacation with her Dad so she was not there. We had a shrimp Louie and a side dish of black beans and rice with peppers and mangoes. Yum! Cocomo Joe did not get his carrot cake this year. Instead, he got a strawberry pie, which he also loves. It was just too hot to bake....no AC here.

Time Flies When You're Moving

Circumstances changed at my apartment complex so that it made sense to move. I found a 2 bedroom apartment that I love. It allows me to have a work room. I have a new sewing cabinet, thanks to the kids. So, there is a place for my machines and they are no longer on the kitchen table or in the living room.

My sewing got interrupted. That's for sure! But, I did manage to prepare the bassinet for our new baby boy. I can hardly wait to see him. I wish he had a name. So far I have to call him Joe Jr or just Junior. I haven't quite finished knitting the blanket. Almost!

There are rose bushes a few feet from my back door......Aren't these beautiful?
