Addlepated

Don't you just love that word? And, unfortunately, it describes my state of mind lately to a T! It seems like I have not had time to breathe lately, much less write! But things are finally slowing down a bit here, so I now have time to catch up on my posting.


First, thank you so much to Marlene for the Premio Meme Award - that is so cool! Is that anything like the Screaming Meme Award? LOL. Seriously, I am honored that you granted me this Award and once I figure out exactly what the rules are, I will follow them! I don't really know 7 other blogs to award, but I can certainly give 7 facts about myself. Thank you again!


The reasons I have been addlepated are many, including dental work, car "issues" and other mundane bits of life; but the good things are (1) I have been preparing for Vacation Bible School, which started this week. I am one of the Snack Ladies this year - what fun! Our theme is Polar in nature, so naturally I had to line up a Sno Cone machine! (2) I have been sewing like a mad woman - neck coolers for our troops, with a few extras thrown in for our workers; baby "stuff" for my new Neighbor Grandchild; holiday pillowcases and various other projects. (3) I am planning/planting my fall garden - pumpkins, gourds and various herbs and such. And (4) I am finally getting some items gathered for an Etsy shop!


Somewhere in here I need to find time to finish sorting through old family photos to add to my Family Photo Wall so I can (finally!) get all of the vintage frames I have collected out of boxes and up onto the Wall.


Here is one I will not be hanging - but only because they mixed up my name with Loretta Hopson's - it has nothing to do with the broken arm or the "pose" (yeah, right - anyone want to buy some swampland here in Arizona?)! LOL!!
