Nutria Day in South Louisiana

(Don't forget to look at my retreat photos from yesterday's post.)

Well, no self respecting Cajun would listen to a groundhog, but Pierre the Nutria says we will not have 6 more weeks of Yankee winter!

Pierre C. Shadeaux predicts a long and wonderful Louisiana Spring.  It was quite foggy when he woke up this morning!

My cousin and her hubby are visiting from Illinois and flying back to Chicago today.  Maybe.  Her neighbor told them there was 10 feet of snow in their driveway after the snow plow came through.  Give me hurricanes any day!  LOL. 

Her daughters are the smart ones, one lives in Florida, the other in Hawaii.  Go figure.

I enjoyed seeing them.   People kept stopping by our table and marveling at the fact we all look so much alike!  One face, yep, our family has just one face! Karen hopefully will send me the picture Jim took.

While I was at the retreat, I received my Louisiana Traveling Quilt!  I was so excited I tore into the box before I even got halfway in the door!  I have to show it at the Modern guild tonight so I will show some photos tomorrow.

I hope the other two participants (Pat and Kelly) got theirs and we can exude love for our fabulous quilts!  And make eeryone else jealous!  You know they will be!

A Better Day

I had a better day today.  I did not get a ticket and I drove through 3 school zones.  there's that number again.  And like Carol said, I do have the 3 cutesy mud angels. 

And since Frank is home tonight, and I am home tonight and no meetings anywhere, I think I will be able to work in the sewing room.  I will take pictures for you when I get some stuff done.  Well, maybe  not.  I am working on my two cotton robin/modern robin piecds so you really can't see it until the very very very end! 

But I may be able to put the sides on the Machine quilt.  And find a really good name for it.  Vanessa calls it Handmade, but it looks machine made to me!  So  need a sort of mechanical name. 

And I need to get a-workin' on my London Fog Tea Towel Quilt.

Let mme get to work while the dogs are outside sunning in the disappearing evening sunlight.

Nutria Stew coming to dinner in your city  soon!  We have so many of the critters here, we are shipping them out to other states.  Catch is, they are dinner not pets!  LOL!!!

Oh, and we are getting the Miss USA Pageant here!  Blew all of us away when Bobby Jindal announced it yesterday.  Whoo Hoo!  maybe they can sample some  nutria gumbo!

Miss Louisiana is Brittany Guidry, nice French Louisiana surname.
