Adventure Boy is Mother's Day Gift

My son Zac was born on Mother's Day many years ago. I have dubbed him Adventure Boy because he loves to try new stuff. For his Birthday in Florida this year he went and had Turduckchicken. Here is his explanation.

Jam a chicken inside of a duck, cram both of them inside a turkey, stuff in some stuffing and what do you get? A birthday treat. The only drawback: Thanksgiving could be kind of anticlimactic after that bird feast.

Way to go Adventure Boy. Happy Birthday.

Springs first wildflowers

Well these always appear. I do love the Dandelions. Their flowers are so soft and velvety and the prettiest color yellow.

And I do love the Jack in the Pulpit, it is such a mysterious plant.

Trillium. I thought this was a nice composition.

Nancy' Notions Sewing Weekend

Thursday and Friday Laura and I drove up to Beaver Dam, WI to be the featured speakers at the Nancy Notion's Sewing Weekend.

As usual on the way up many new songs were discussed and tried out as well as much talk about spam email. You guess what topic!

We had a great time as usual when doing a Nancy's Notion event. If you have never gone to one of these weekends and you love to sew this is a great opportunity to see and hear lots of different speaks at a reasonable price as well as to shop the store specials and the warehouse clearance. Of course I did not get away without spending a little money. I couldn't resist the price on a new Rowenta pressure iron and steamer.

We were able to get in a little antiquing as well. It was a good weekend.
