What else is 57 today? Let's see the temperature? No it got to 65 today. Could it be the price of gas? No, that's $1.79, a loaf of bread? Ha, that was many moons ago. Speaking of many moons, I was born 57 years ago tonight. At 6:16 if I remember correctly! guess I will have to dust off the birth certificate to prove that one.
I had a great birthday. I treated myself to a french manicure this morning. It really threw the little Vietnamese girl off when she took my polish off . I'm pretty sure she told her partner in their own language. "This chick has her own nails, no fake ones here".
I met Kathy for lunch at a new eatery in town called A slice of pie. I had chicken mushroom pot pie, Kathy had creme of broccoli soup and a huge homemade yeast roll. We split a slice of the pie of the month, cherry chocolate cheesecake. Yumo! Thanks Kathy for the lunch.
With an hour or two to kill before my hair appointment I went shopping. I found a pair of jeans at Penney's for $7.49 and even a Liz Claiborn shirt for $7.49. The jeans at TJ Maxx, my favorite store cost 4 times what the ones at Penney's did. At Kohl's I picked up a Valentine present for the daughter. Don't you just love their household department?
At the hair appointment I became a partial redhead again. I had red highlights for close to a year and lost them last fall. It was time to get them back.
When I arrived home, there was a package on my door step. It was a Quilting book, "Quilts for Rosie, Paper piecing patterns from the 40's. A gift from Sarah and Rusty. It was a long day in town, so the hubby grilled dinner for me. I then got in about 2 hours of quilting before retiring in the recliner.
Yesterday there was a package too on my door step. It was from Mel at Mel's own Place. It is some awesome black and white fabric and a pair of fuzzy black slippers! What a win it was for me, from her giveaway thanks Mel!
Hope you all have a great weekend! BT and I will be all alone, the son and family went to Oklahoma City to visit his sister and maybe some day son in law?!! Right Rusty?

I wish I had known it was your birthday! I would have included a birthday card!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
What a perfect way to celebrate your birthday!
Please do a review of that paper piecing book. Patterns from the 40's sounds interesting. Do the patterns have the seam allowances built in (I just hate when I have to cut them all apart and add the seam allowances myself) and does a CD come with it so you can change the sizes?
I am going to get some hair highlights in a couple of weeks. I am thinking of some red, too. I had a touch of red last year, but now I want more.
Congrats on that great win. I love black fabric. I was just working with some before I came to read your blog.
I hope you two enjoy your weekend alone.
A late Happy Birthday to you-I'm glad you had a good day!
