I Got Distracted!

I was heading in here to blog, but opened Facebook up instead and found some wedding preview photos of Esther and Patrick. I couldn't resist posting a couple. Looks like, once again, the photographer outdid herself! The previews are wonderful. I look forward to seeing the rest! The ones I posted were taken at Nathan and Kathy's farm after the wedding. Well, I have had another busy day. I haven't said much, but I am preparing for an adventure. I will fill you in on more of it when I return. This little adventure will take me off the grid so I won't be able to blog again until Sunday or Monday. I'll leave you in suspense! I hope I can tell the story via photos. I will say that cameras are packed! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!

Busy Monday

I had my day pretty well planned out, but those plans went pretty much south when I got notification that my Amazon order, that I was counting on, was delayed. And, I need several of the items before the current predicted delivery date. So off I went to Walmart...hoping that they would have the items I needed. Tullahoma doesn't give us much in the way of choices for shopping. I ordered from Amazon figuring that I wouldn't be able to get just what I wanted here in Tullahoma. I did manage today to find "close" to what I wanted...but I still need to look for a couple of things elsewhere tomorrow.(insert eye roll!) I'm not the happiest of campers! I am home from prayer meeting...glad to be in for the night. I'm going to do a few of the things that I had to set aside in order to go shopping...then I will be ready to just sit and hopefully stitch for a little while before my eyes close. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!

Sunday Favorite

Isaac is 14!

We had fun celebrating Isaac's birthday today. He has changed quite a bit in 14 years...he's holding a photo of himself 14 years ago today that I took at Harton Hospital in Tullahoma. As you can see, his brothers and sisters enjoyed some celebratory shenanigans! Happy birthday, Isaac! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!

Rainy Friday

I certainly haven't done much today. But maybe it was a lazy day because of the weather. I didn't think that I would get out in it, but did head out shortly after lunch to get my haircut. I changed my haircut day because I had a conflict with my next one and had to grt it today as my hairdresser was going to be away next week when I tried to make an appointment. So rain or not...it had to be a good day...because it was a haircut day! I spent a little time in he sewing room, but not much. I did have a business phone call this morning. So I guess it hasn't been a totally wasted day. Going back to the rain, by lunch time we had gotten close to 2 inches. I keep getting reminders that we are under a flood watch and that we are due more rain this evening and overnight. Sounds, to me, like a good night to stitch...not that any evening isn't a good one to stitch! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!

Already a Week Gone in 2026

Can you believe that we have started the 2nd week in 2026? Do you suppose 2026 will go by as fast as 2025? Tonight's barn photo is another view of last night's barn...a barn that is still pretty...but when you see more of it, it shows that it has seen better days! I spent another day just puttering around the house. It's nice to have a few down days...days that I don't have to go lots of places and can stay home and do whatever. I, again, spent time in the sewing room. I'm still doing some altering on some clothes and hemming pants. I am about to settle into the downstairs recliner and hem the second pair of pants...same task that I was about to do last night after I blogged. I did get those pants hemmed so I got the second ready to hem and am now going to hem them this evening. Once that task is done, I plan to watch some TV and work on my cross stitch pieces. I did stitch a little this morning so will finish stitching the flagpole on my patriotic piece. And, then see what I will stitch on next of the five things that I m working on currently. I once again cleared off the sewing table...it had gotten covered with items needed to make ornaments...I am slowly getting it cleared off. I hope that maybe I will get back to sewing in the not too far future and need the sewing table for cutting out a pattern. I have enjoyed the little sewing that I have done over the last couple of days. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!

Tonight Begins the 18th Year for Dorrell Delineations!

When I counted the number of years I had blogged, I had to recount! But when I stopped to think about it, that has to be right. Lots of words...and lots of photos...but I didn't post photos every night when I started writing this. I thought that I would have a new barn photo to share tonight, as we had a barn trip planned for today, but we ended up having to postpone it. I stayed nome and did more around the house. I'm starting to get things ready to put Christmas away. Today I cleared everything off the guest bed upstairs. I had things on it that needed to be put away...that's done and that room looks good again. The upstairs is in need of attention...mainly it needs boxes put away...and, that can't be done till I put Christmas back in them. But today's clean up in the guest room is a start. I have also been doing some alterations on some of my clothes. One job...shortening two pairs of pants that I have been needing to do for a while. I have one pair in the chair next to me all ready to hem. So I have spent some time in the sewing room today. Once I get this pair hemmed, I am going to turn to my stitching...ready for some relaxation at this point in the day. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! It was strange not to post a photo that has something to do with Christmas!
