Holiday Weekend
I love 3 day weekends! My sister and her family visited and we had a great time. We spent one day shopping at a quilt store. We did some serious damage to their inventory and came home with more projects pending. I wouldn’t be alive if I didn’t have a project waiting in the wings.
We met up with the men folk and had a late lunch, early dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. We all brought home leftover bags. Mine is still in the fridge. We bought a whole cheesecake and each ate a piece in celebration of my mom’s birthday which was on Friday. We put a single candle in her piece of cheesecake and she had to make a wish. I wonder what she wished for. Hmmm?
On Sunday, we were supposed to sew but mom had not come over yet so we visited her house to see what she was doing. She was making a salad to share with the ribs my husband was smoking for our dinner that night. While waiting for her, I took a look around her flower beds to see if I could find the poison ivy that had sent her to the doctor to get a shot. She was miserable with a poison ivy rash on her face and stomach. It was very swollen and looked like it hurt. She looks much better.
Stay away from these culprits:
I found the culprit. There was a long vine of poison ivy growing beneath her bathroom window. I made her come out to look so that she might recognize it the next time. She was shocked that that was poison ivy. She had picked that up to move it because it was trying to grow up her siding. Ai yi yi! No wonder she got so much on herself. I carefully removed it and put it in a plastic bag. I didn’t get the root though so we will have to watch for it next spring.
She finished the salad and we headed back to my house to start our sewing project. More on that later.
I have opinions about everything. I do get compensated for some of my opinions. I'd love to hear your opinion on the things I discuss. Please leave me a comment. For more information about my disclosure policy click

the poison ivy really is a dangerous one, it even tricks the eye and looks like some of the most common vines out there..be careful..
