Greetings!

My, it has been a busy week. I quilted on Monday -- we had a large group with several new people. Then Tuesday I did my volunteer work and Wednesday was the English class. Sweetie was home yesterday, (Thursday) after some medical tests, so we used the time to do some re-arranging in our house. We tried out an idea that will help my sewing room. I sew in the front bedroom, known as the upstairs master, and it has always been our primary guest room -- it had a queen size bed. The smaller middle bedroom had two twin beds. When we would have company I would put away all of my sewing items and then I would have to get it all back out again. We decided to move the queen size bed into the smaller middle bedroom so that I don't have to move all my sewing stuff every time someone spends the night. The small bedroom looks really nice but the larger room is still a bit jumbled. Still, I'll sort it all out. I like sewing there because it has a large window that gives good light and looks out onto the front. Also, there is a TV on cable. Most of my guests don't care about those things. They are only in the room for sleeping.
We may only put up one of the twin beds -- we really don't want to get rid of the second bed but we do need to consider downsizing -- we have so much STUFF! It is hard for me to get rid of some of the excess. I always think we will need it someday. But, if we do get rid of that second bed still we have two blow-up beds that can be used in a pinch. We really don't need it. Hummmm, wonder if youngest son would like to have it? Probably -- he needs some more furniture for his bedrooms.

This morning I took my car to the repair shop -- she (yes, my car is a girl named Sassy) needs an oil change, filter, etc. Also, they are going to check my computer to see why the check engine light comes on from time to time. I'm sure this will cost us some money but it has to be done. Better now, while Sweetie is working, than later when our income has decreased!

My house smells so good -- I have a chicken stewing -- Sunday we are having a chili cook-off at church. After the second service we will have the judging and then we will eat the chili. I'm going to make chili blanco, and I'm cooking my chicken today. It smells wonderful!!!

Anyway, that is what we have been doing this week. What have you been doing? Would love to hear from you!
