Wa-hoo! Went to Hobby Lobby today. Not much was on sale but I got a book of rub on's with sayings for cards. I won't use them but will try to make the computer print out the sayings in different fonts and then I will use those. That's what I used my 40% off coupon on. I got 4 pieces of double sided paper, 4 spools of ribbon that was 50% off, and 4 statues to put in the garden. I might have a garden of all gnomes and frogs if the last year flowers don't volunteer to come back.
I went outside and cut the monkey grass with a pair of scissors and I raked the leaves and stuff off of the garden area. By scratching the ground, I was hoping to encourage last years seeds to come on up and make the great flowers I had last year. I will plant something if nothing volunteers but my knees have gotten too bad to do much gardening.
Karen told me Wal-Mart will close and a new Sam's will take it's place and a new Wal-Mart will be built out past Athens High School ! That will be too far to go to Wal-Mart. I guess I can do all my shopping at Sam's. That'll be good for food storage!
I made 5 Christmas cards last night. Took pictures of them, too. I got some new paper and I can't wait to make cards with it. New paper is like getting new material for those who like to sew!

About Me
- Granny's Blog
- I'm a graduate of the University of Alabama,class of '66. I majored in music, piano and organ. I taught private piano lessons in Tuscaloosa for a year and then got a teaching job in Key West, FL. There I met my husband, Frank and four months later we were married. Have lived in Athens, AL since 1976. My children grew up in Athens. My husband is bedridden now so I add the title of care taker to the title of homemaker. I never wanted to work outside the home. I enjoyed gardening until I got breast cancer in 2002. I'm not able to do much garden work now, and I miss it. I enjoy going to the Wellness Ctr. to exercise. I enjoy making greeting cards and usually make a card or two each day. I love getting together with my daughters, Trudy and Mary Kate and my grandchildren. My son, Frank, lives in Knoxville,TN, so I don't see him often. He has 4 children. I enjoy being a grandmother.

Sounds like you had a great time at HobbyLobby. The card you sent to Tony was so pretty. You do a good job. I get too trembly to do much in the way of crafts right now.
Glad you're having fun with it.
Cut the grass with scissors? Surely not your haircutting scissors;) ha! Did Ricki notice Dad's haircut???? I have been worried about that alllllll day! man! that would be awful:) just kidding!
Sam's where WM is? Does Athens need a Sam's? A WM out by AHS would be good for that side of town....I guess that would run Kmart out of business for sure!
