June 29

Well my friend and her family should be getting here sometime this morning. The poor guys have had a long hard trip to get here. First they started out later then they wanted. Shortly after getting into Texas they had to get a new rental car because they hit something and couldn't drive any more. After about three hours waiting for the car to get changed they got back on the road. Then they had a stop at my friends mother-in-laws house, something that she didn't want to do. In all it took then three days to get across Texas. Right now we are waiting to hear from them. They will either be here anytime or get word to us that they stopped for the night again.
They had planned on being here on Monday but this have worked against them I guess. As long as they get here safely it is all good.

One good thing is that we my house has been clean for about a week or so with out getting to messed up by the kids. Making it easy to get ready for company visiting. Plus I have been able to get some of my crafts done. Plus get all my stuff reorganzied so that it all fits again, with all the new stuff that I had gotten from my husbands Grandma.

One of the things that I was able to get done was finishing off a coat for a little girl. All the pieces had been cut out but the coat was only partly sewn together. It fits my youngest daughter so she is happy about getting it. Even though it is way to hot to need a coat even late in the evening.

Another project that I got started was a set of matching vests. I got two new panels for vests that match. So my oldest asked me to make her and I matching vests. I was able to get them started. I should get them finished this morning while I wait for my friend.

As always I am working on my cross stitch that I am trying to get finished. I work on it most evening even though my husband starts compaining about it. I have almost completed another page of my pattern. Considering it has twenty pages and each page is at least half completed or more. It really isn't saying much that another page is almost complete. You really have to see the project to understand why that can feel good to say. Specially consider how much time I do get to work on it.
