Me and Trisha

I thought that I would show ya'll the little gift my sweet husband got for me while I was recovering from my surgery. He knows that I am a huge Trisha Yearwood fan. She is a Georgia girl. I like her music. I think that she is beautiful and let's face it, she is not sick skinny!! She has an exercise regime but she loves to cook and enjoys good old southern food! I have always loved hearing about her relationship with her parents and sister. I bought her first cookbook "Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen" a couple of years ago. I love it..lots of good recipes, famliy stories and pictures! I use her recipes for cabbage and squash. When I found out that she had a new cookbook coming out, I knew that I would want to buy it. It came out the day after I got home from the hospital and Andy went and got it to surprise me. So sweet! The new book is "Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood" Like the first book it contains recipes from her Mom and Sister and this one has other recipes from family and friends. (and Garth Brooks) I havent cooked anything from it but I will! It is as lovely as the first book!

I will be at the library this week. Sherry has had to miss the past few weeks. She has had complications from the radiation. She says she is feeling better and hopes to work tomorrow! It will be good to see her sweet smiling face!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful week!

My Friday Night!

o.k. The next time I post that I am going to cook supper before Friday Night Sew In, someone please write to me and remind me that it is not a good idea for me to do that!! Because of Winter Break, the boys had ate lunch after 1pm and Andy had gone to a funeral home so we planned a late supper. That put me in the kitchen til after 7pm. My sewing room has real shadowy lighting at night so I have a hard time doing handwork in there.

I gathered my supplies early and got everything ready! Diet Dr. Pepper, a movie, chocolate and some hand quilting!!


I did enjoy my time! I'm not near enough along on that quilt but hopefully when school starts back, I will get more done! The movie was alright, the ladies were beautiful, I loved looking at the costumes, "King Henry" was cute enough to take my attention away from my quilting!! I will say the book was better.

I have my little embroidery bag packed and I am ready to go to my Redwork class this morning!

Thanks Heidi for hosting Friday Night Sew In....now, when is the next one?
