This month's block from Quick Quilts. I am guessing that this block is named Ireland  ya think?
 
 
Tutorial on a schoolhouse block. It is well done with  good pictures.
 
Saturday so it was off to the grocery store. Jim stayed here, he does not find the grocery store as exciting as we do LOL.  He was backing up my laptop. It took forever , he said something was too slow but I can't remember what that was. Not that it matters to me anyway.  We spent more money than we usually do because we bought meat. That sure bumps up the bill. I bought ground pork and beef to make a meat loaf for dinner.  I did make it and it tasted great. There is some left over for Ray to make his meat loaf sandwiches. He loves those. We also bought  chicken, the world's most under rated meat. We think chicken is cheap , used to be, but not any more. It is a costly as all the other meats except Lamb which is astronomical. Too bad I love it. Some day I'll throw all caution to the wind and buy some LOL.
We bought two cute little pieces of cake for Ray and Jim. I wish I had bought one for me too. But I need to lose a few pounds so cake is off  the menu.
That was our big adventure . We then went to McDonald's for Chicken McNuggets.
We came home , Jim spent the afternoon on my laptop and it took until just before dinner before I could use it. But now everything  works in this house except maybe me LOL. Not true I made the meat loadf and then dinner for the three of us. So I worked.
Adam called to say he , Aaron and little Adam will be coming up at the end of the month. Rick will be here then too. It is going to be wonderful . I may have to cook dinner again. hahaha.
It will be a wonderful month. Adam's birthday is on Wednesday and my Catherine's birthday is today. Her mom says she had a lovely time. She is five today but won't tell you how old Adam is LOL.
Here she is at an earlier age.
 
I keep having a feeling of butterfly wings fluttering  in my left ear. I wonder what it is. Need to call the doctor I guess.
Picture time folks.
 
These pickles  amuse me greatly and they are so pretty in the jar.
I wonder how much time it took to make these and how much artistry. Lots I suspect.
 
And a different [perspective could be so enlightening and fascinating. Not that I think outside the box but I have known people who do.  And that is what I think creativity is called. It comes in many forms not just in the arts where we most often think of it as being creative but many business people are very creative. Think of  a detective who thinks outside his normal way of business and solves crimes readily. What about a medical person  who invents a new machine or way of operating or a new medicine.
Creativity can be found  everywhere, in all forms of human endeavour.
Great photo of Rose in her mouse ears hat. She has such an adorable expression on her face. I wonder what she is thinking.
 
Now that's a big family LOL. Mom and dad look proud.
 
So pretty   , I know it is the month of March but this February red, white and pink valentine  table runner looks so nice and cupcakes too.
That's the blog for tonight.
Have a great evening.
Good night.
