About Me

New Jersey, United States
I am the wife of a wonderful husband and the mom of three super adult kids and their spouses. I also proudly have five adorable grandsons. I happily taught preschool for 25 years. When I'm not with my grandsons I spend much of my time indulging in my "Quilty Pleasures."

Make-A-List Monday February/March


Happy Leap Day!!!

The weather in our area is slowly beginning to warm up.  We have been fortunate to experience some days in the 50's.  But 50 degree weather can not compare to the weather my son and his future wife are enjoying in southern California.



Kaela's mother and grandmother held a "Meet the Family" party for them yesterday.



The food looks AMAZING!



Only a few short months until they will be husband and wife.  Most of the arrangements have been made: airplane tickets purchased;  hotel booked;  car rented;
dress ...  ?

Oh my, I need a dress or three.  I had better get on that soon!
