Hello Everyone,
I'm starting something new on my blog. Every Monday, give or take, I'm going to write my song list for the week which will give you an idea what I plan on doing. I apologize ahead of time for any ear worms I might be planting.
Song Play List 8/22 to 8/28
9 To 5 - Dolly Parton (My day actually begins at 5am and ends at 9pm)
She Works Hard for the Money - Donna Summer
Whistle While You Work - The Seven Dwarfs (I can't whistle at all....not a whisper of a note)
Working on the Chain Gang - Sam Cooke (I hope to do some chain piecing this week)
Wilder Mind - Mumford and Sons (Not so much for the lyrics, but the title fits my Wilder mind which is bouncing all over the place)
Sixteen Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford (I have a ton on my plate with the upcoming retreat)
It's My Job - Jimmy Buffett (Good lyrics about striving to be your best)
Manic Monday - The Bangles (No explanation needed)
One week from today, 35 quilters will be rolling into town from all over the country for the second Sew'n Wild Oaks retreat of the year at Snowflake Lodge in Arnold.
I've been preparing for it for weeks from making tutorials, to name tags, to kits, to whatever needs to be done. The girls will all be at my cabin next Sunday night for an appetizer dinner. This week I'm going to concentrate on creating a spotless house.....wish me luck with that. The spiders can spin spider webs faster than I can eliminate them. Maybe Spin Spider Spin should be on my playlist.
This move has really thrown me for a loop! We were down at our other house in the San Francisco Bay Area over the weekend and Saturday was the day our eldest son and his family moved in. As they were hauling things in, we were still hauling things out. Crazy times! I still don't know where everything is, and at this point in time I really don't care!
An added bonus Friday night was watching our grandson play in a pre-season football jamboree. They played in their practice jerseys without a number, so we really couldn't tell who he was on the field. We cheered wildly anyway.
So, I'm looking forward to "my girls" arrival to town. We will all have so much fun during our time together.
Soon,
Lynn
