New Endeavor

As a child, my Grandpa played a fiddle. I loved hearing him play and when I was sad he would play to make me feel better. My Mom and Grandma always talked about Papa playing for the barn dances and how he was the best fiddler and caller in the community. Papa's always wanted someone in the family to play the fiddle too.
Well several years ago Chester took me to a country show in Pigeon Forge and they had a young boy that played the fiddle in almost the same style that my Papa did. It made me miss my Papa so much that I told Chester I wanted a fiddle. Well he laughed and told me I didn't know how to play one so he wouldn't buy me one. Well after several weeks of nagging, I got my fiddle for Mother's Day that year and started taking fiddle lessons.
Needless to say, I am not the fiddler that my Papa was but I can play it decent. So I am now starting a new endeavor.
My daughter, Laura, runs a daycare. So we have decided to teach the children how to square dance and line dance. You have to remember these are 3-5 year old children.LOL But I am so excited to be calling and playing a fiddle for square dancing. I believe my Papa is smiling down on me and giving me his blessings. I can't wait to see these kids trying to square dance. This is going to be a hoot. And at their age, they aren't going to care how good I am or am not.LOL
We are going to put on a short skit and Laura is going to charge admittance to help raise money for day care equipment. Wish me luck. Until next time...

My Easter Bunny Swap

Last month I enterd an Easter Bunny swap on Rabbit Hollow Prims and my partner was Angie from http://www.lovetheprimlood.blogspot.com/ Well I had a mix-up with my postal carrier but I finally got my package today and I love it!!!

Angie sent me the cutest bunny holding a chick that she completely hand stitched!! I could never do that great a job on hand stitching. Hers is amazing! And she sent me a set of silicone scented lights in Easter colors! They smell sooooo good and they are perfect for an Easter basket. Now I can't wait to make my basket with eggs and chicks for these lights.LOL

Good News, Not So Good News

First I'll tell the good news. I have opened a new selling blog. I am so excited about this and Karen of My Colonial Home Blog started a new blog with Popular Selling Blogs on it and I am now listed on that blog too.
So if you haven't checked it out yet, here is the link. http://www.yorkiesprimitivessalesblog.blogspot.com/ And all you have to do is click the link on the right side of my main page that says popular selling blogs to go to all the selling blogs that Karen set up. Thanks Karen!

Now the not so good news is that I have to have cataracs removed from my right eye. I knew I was going blind in that eye but didn't know why. So I went to my doctor and its a huge catarac blocking my vision.
And I know this is a relatively simple procedure but they are having difficulties with me because of my respiratory problems and the fact that I am allergic to so many meds. But the procedure is scheduled for Monday so I may not be on here for a couple of days. I will let you know how it goes. But please say a prayer for me Monday that everything will go okay. Until next time...
