WHAT THE . . . . SNOW ? ! ?

...Springtime in the Rockies! And on my birthday yet! Bratling remembered a snowstorm on my birthday when she was just a little girl. Here she is a grown up Little girl and it's happening again!

Rowdy and I took a walk when it was snowing the hardest. As I write, the sun it out!

A '55 RESTORATION UPDATE

From November 2009 after the dash was painted and all the new trim and knobs put on:



The trunk with all that primer:

I went up to Chimayo yesterday and he's the inside of the trunk painted the pure bright white it will be:

This is the inside of the trunk lid (if you couldn't figure that out!):

...and yours truly,

I was told that if the weather is calm on Tuesday and Wednesday, the rest will get painted. We are going with the true Bel Air two-tone with white above the trim (trunk and top) and turquoise below. The interior will be turquoise, too. We've gotten the interior already; it's made from the original style fabric, carpet and headliner. I'll post pictures of the seats that have been completed soon.

A NEW 'DO

YIKES! YIKES! YIKES! All my hair got chopped off today! ...and you can't see the platinum too much...

FORTY-SIX AND ABSOLOUTELY F*A*B*U*L*O*U*S !

YIKES! YIKES! YIKES! HEEEEERE'S THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!

Wilson Shouts ‘You Lie' After Wife Fakes Orgasm

Breach of Congressional Decorum, Experts Say

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) courted controversy again today as he reportedly shouted "You lie" during a sexual encounter in which his wife pretended to have an orgasm.

While details of Rep. Wilson's latest outburst are sketchy at best, congressional experts say that it is totally against the decorum of the House of Representatives to speak out during a spouse's faked orgasm.

But the South Carolina congressman got a vote of support from a fellow Republican lawmaker, Sen. John Ensign (R-NV), who told reporters, "It's so rare for a Republican politician to have sex with his own wife, we should applaud it when it happens."

In a related story, President Obama said that Rep. Wilson's outburst during his speech Wednesday night was "productive," adding, "Joe Wilson highlighted the need for mental health care."

More Quilts...Thanks to Shelbert

Thank you, Michele, for bailing me out with your fine photography. My over excited brain caused me to forget to photograph this little girl's quilt. It received a second place ribbon.



...and this stack-n-whack style that used rose fabric earned another second place...
They had the quilts displayed so that it was difficult to shoot straight on...except the girl's quilt that was folded on a table with several others instead of hung up...what's with that !?!?

A Quilt for Mama-Lady, Part Deux

WooHoo! Another winner!



This one is Reserve Grand Champion (that means the second best quilt entered).


Yippee!


I WAS SO EXCITED, I FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE OTHER TWO I ENTERED!
