MY LITTLE MAN OF THE HOUR

Well, what's new you asked? I've been working like usual at the farm and I'm still in the scrubbing mode although I have to take my time and pace myself. It's tedious work as there are a lots of pipes and wires and gadgets to clean around and very slow and time consuming so I'm not rushing. I'm getting plenty of exercises going up and down the step ladder and that's good to firm my butts and getting lots of elbow grease type of exercises. A bit hard on the neck and the shoulders but I'll survive. I'll take some photos when I get around to it.

Early this  morning I picked up yesterday's mail and I was tickled pink to receive a gift from Doris of Moments in Time.   Doris is an amazing resilient classy lady with impeccable taste and although we have never met, I know that she is a great person with lots of courage and determination she's thoughtful and considerate and has  purpose in life and just keep going. She lives with her sweet dog Eloise, teaches rug hooking, is neat as a pin and kind as they come.  Can you believe that she also make her own sourdough bread too with her own starter.
Coming back to the gift, it was a piece of crack stop and some sweet Christmas patterns. Now how sweet is that.? Thank you so much Doris. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and your generosity very much. I'm anxious to try it as soon as I have a little spare time and will keep you informed of my progress.


And now and update on my little grandson. He's 4 months old today, May 16th.














He's watching the Muppet Show with dad. How cool is that.? 
Thanks for your visit and for leaving a comment.  JB

    Julia, that happy little baby smile just brightened my morning! (which needed brightened because it's raining here AGAIN!)
    Doris is one of the nicest people I know! We've been friends for several years now (met through rughooking). She is an amazingly good and patient teacher and her hooking is superb.
    Hope you have a good day.
    Whenever I need a big dose of sunshine, I'll come back to the computer and look at the pictures of your cute little grandson.

    Hi Julia, So glad the package arrived. I love the babies smile. So adorable. Please don't work to hard and make yourself sick. I am wondering if it will ever stop raining in Maryland.
    Thank you Pat for the kind words.

    Your grandson has the greatest expressions! It must be so much fun to watch him discover the world!
    It sounds like you are working to beat the band!
    Take care,

    Oh Julia, he is so beautiful and he looks so happy. I bet you just loved to get those sweet pictures. You have been busy but you are getting thing done and that is all that matters. I am going down to get some of that Crack stop stuff if I can find it. I need to draw some patterns and that looks like just the ticket.
    I hope the sun comes out soon for you.
    Have a wonderful day.

    Julia,
    He is getting cuter every day. He looks so bright and happy and that little twinkle in his eye - love it.
    Doris is so lovely. I checked Home Depot today in Moncton - no crack.
