BIG WEEKEND.....

I had a busy weekend. My birthday was Saturday and Mother's Day was Sunday. DH took me to do a little Flea Market shopping Saturday.

 
 
I got these item to make into some Prim Things. The ticket on the two bells said Cow Bells, but I think they may be Goat Bells. They are not big. I have plans to needle punch something for the top of them. I have pin cushion plans for the funnel. The two mashers I have ideas to needle punch something for the top of them.  The scales I just got because the prices were real great. I love the beige scale with Sears on it. I will keep it in the sewing room. The Blue Ribbon Scale has a lot of rust, but I love the patina. I may use it to hold a bird nest. I plan to put on my old library desk.
We also had Ballgame Day Saturday.  Tournaments started for Josh.

The pictures are blurry because it had rained all night before and morning. The sun came out and it turned HOT.  We laugh at Josh because when he runs he's watching his feet. I will just say he trips a lot and leave it at that.. 

 That's his dad 3rd base coach. He is telling him to run to home plate.  Next game is Friday night. The weather channel says our temps will be in the 40's Friday night.. What we will freeze!  lol

 
Then, Sunday arrived!  Mother's Day! Happy Belated Mother's Day!  My Dear SIL had a get together at their house. Brother grilled and the pool was available for a swim. Yes, It is warm enough in May for The Grands to swim.


 Frog Boy AKA Josh had a great time in the pool. He has lost about 4 teeth in the last 2 months. Hubby says he looks like a Jack - O -Lantern!  lol  Zoe didn't like the pool. It was over her head and she wanted to do something else!

 My brother brought out the golf cart and she took off running to get in!  That is more her speed. That is my brother with her. I have a story about this Golf Cart....

My dad bought this cart when our Daughter was 12. It was blue and not jacked up. For years we used it camping. Raeanne grew up with it. She drove it before she had a car. She and her friends drove it all over the campgrounds. It even had a radio in it! Only Grandchild at the time. We had to charge those batteries every night.  lol
Raeanne turned 16 got a car and that was the end of cart driving....
My dad decided he wanted it painted yellow and lifted. My parents by then had a place up on the backwater and it was rode a lot by my parents and Sadie (the dog).  Then my dad had a massive heart attack and passed away.  SIL was pregnant with grandchild #2. One month later Hannah was born. My mom passed Golf Cart to Hannah. So I call the picture above - Golf Cart Generation #2. Hannah is driving, Zoe is in the middle, and Josh is showing out! Raeanne started out driving this cart and now her children are riding in it. I hope one day, when Hannah gets her car, that it will come back full circle to Raeanne for her kids to enjoy for years to come.
So that was my weekend!  I have a great weekend coming up with my stitching friend, Terri. ( Dixie Samplar ). My first Stitch In!!
 
Till Later.....
