Happy Easter & Happy Birthday

Hubby's Birthday is this weekend and so is Easter. Not sure that that combo has ever happened before in his life. Will have to check into that. Heading off to our daughter's today for a visit and of course lots of food..and the all important cake.

Yesterday we made up a Birthday cake and had a great celebration with our friends. What a mess..lol..along with lots of laughs. When you get past 50 there seems to be even more need for the laughs..!!!

For anyone out there that enjoys cards..namely CRIB. Well there is this board called Crib Wars!!! Unless you are prepared to spend every weekend playing don't buy it. Hubby got it for his 60th Birthday..well!!! Every weekend he and his buddies have a great time at the table laughing over the messes they get themselves into. (I am no fan of card games..geesh when you could be quilting..what are they thinkin..lol) In any case you can get this game at Home Hardware, has to be a special order. If you want the sku # let me know. They sure "seem" to enjoy themselves.

Happy Easter!!

Sleigh Ride & Snow

Well I have decided that the only good thing about snow is being able to go on a sleigh ride which we did the weekend before. Then there was this weekend..Oh my!!
This last storm on Sat. dropped around 30-40cm of snow. Now add some wind and it has been a mess to clean up. Sunday around noon I finally got the car out and had to park just off the Hwy. and walk to the barn. The snow was over my boots for most of the walk in even with some tracks still there after our neighbor was good enough to feed the lads in the morning for me. (Needless to say they have "the right" equipment for this..not like me in a little Focus.)




A week ago a group got together at our neighbors for a Ride & Sleigh Ride. The weather could not have been better. Wanted to post a few pictures of a wonderful day. We stopped at the cabin for a break and a warm cup of cider before heading back to the barn for a Pot Luck Supper. Wow what a feast that was. Oh my!!





Yes I have been sewing..not anything to show..but I am getting there..lol
