A Quick Catch up from December 2008

OK, let's play catch up with a few events I can still remember from the last 6 months. Last you saw me here in Blogland it was the first week in December and I was still in Gilbert, Arizona visiting Susan. On my way out of town as I headed home to Los Angeles, I just couldn't resist one more stop at my favorite BBQ place - Joe's BBQ.


Whenever I hear someone mention they're going to Gilbert Arizona, I tell them they MUST go to Joe's BBQ - it's just the best there is. They look at me like I'm nuts, but after they go, they have to agree - there's no place like Joe's. OK, I'll admit it - I'm addicted to their hot bbq sauce. And, yes, I do have a case of it in my pantry that I hauled home with me on one of my trips. Oh, and a gallon jug of their regular BBQ sauce as well. Just in case I don't get to get back there in a long time. A girl has to have a stash, you know.


Also in December, my small quilting mini group that I belong to had our annual holiday pot luck at Pat's house. All the women in this group are retired and whenever it's their turn to host a sewing day at their house they effortlessly whip up an amazing lunch for us gals. Since I'm the only "working girl" in the group - I cheated, chose to bring a dessert as my contribution to the holiday party - and I sure picked the right bakery for these little beauties. They were just as tasty as they are pretty!

The last week of the year 2008 ended with a 5 day visit from Susan, where we spent many fun hours stitching together and of course visiting a quilt shop or two! Perfect way to end the year - doing what you love with your best friend.

Sounds SO good! Hey, stash is stash; right? Who knows when you'll need it. Now, for example. I'm hungry! Your Herbie and my Pixie could pass for brother and sister!

LOL! Way to cram 6 months into a few paragraphs! Like nothing else happened in those months. =)
