It's gardening time .....

.....Ahhhhh..... the past few days have been beautiful here in Jim Thorpe, Pa ..... yes, the birds were chirping, the sun was shining, the days were nice and warm ,and the flowers are in bloom .....


.... so yesterday afternoon, I thought I'd try and get my window boxes planted (because the weather guy was talking about rain for today and Saturday )

Well, everytime I try and get something done around here, it's always some kind of interruption or other .... and guess what/who the interruption was this time .....




.....Kitty came over to ask me if her Chef hat was finished yet and to show me her new gardening hat....(she doesn't want to sunburn that complexion of hers for the Prom next week....)







.... I told her, No, the Chef hat isn't finished yet because I keep getting interrupted by work, laundry, making and cleaning up meals, and by certain parties who only care about themselves and THEIR HATS !!!



Hmph !!! WELL !!!! REALLY !!!!

.... and off Kitty drove ... in a snit again .....she drove off so fast that her hat flew off....(oh, don't worry.... she'll be back .... she wants that Chef hat .... and she wants me to help her with her hair for the Prom next Friday ....)

Let's see ..... what else is new .... well, my friend Kelly has decided to put her quilt shop and antique mall on the market . The Quiltery is one of my favorite hang outs .....so I called my sister Boop (her name is really Karen ... Boop is just the name we've called her since she was a baby ... and only her family and close friends know about it .... now you're all her close friends !!! HA !)... anyhow, I called Boop and said we should buy The Quiltery ..... now Boop doesn't quilt, but she can knit up a storm ..... so she would want the shop to be Quilting AND Knitting .... OK, that's fine ..... we could call it "Mare & Boop's Quilt and Knit". She thought that was OK except for one change she would make .... "Boop & Mare's Knit and Quilt" .....hmmmm, we can't even agree on a name ... just like
Lucy and Ethel when they bought that dress shop. Then, my kids have to get in on the act and said it should be "Mare and Boop's Quilt and Knit and Dirtbike Parts" ...... PERFECT !!!! Well, it's neither here nor there (as my mother would say) since Boop and I would have to print up lots more monopoly money in the basement to be able to buy it ..... not to mention the minor detail that , like Lucy and Ethel, neither one of us has a clue how to run a business !!! OH Well!! ..... just hope whoever does end up buying The Quiltery is as friendly and willing to put up with me as Kelly and gang have been!

Toodles,
Mary Anne (aka Mare)
