March - in like a lion.... that is definitely the case here! Several trips, lots of projects and a busy schedule all keep me looking over my shoulder to see what I missed.

We went to northern Indiana last week - to see Paul's mom, see our daughter and son in law (on leave from Iraq). Of course I said I didn't want to go if there was snow - After being assured it didn't look like there would be much - we got 2 - 4 inches every day. Argh!

So we got home, and got right back into the swing of things here. Saturday was a birthday party for a friend, Sunday was church and jail service in the afternoon, and Monday was a trip to Nashville airport and some shopping.

The good part of this is that I did find an outfit for the wedding. Oh, yeah. Chana and her husband Keyonsay are reaffirming their wedding vows on the 15th of this month. A year ago, when they married, they just went to the court house. So they are having a wedding this year. Chana and her friend Ronance came by and picked up the flowers to make the girl's bouquets. I still need to sew two little girl's dresses and the capes for the bridesmaid's dresses.

Today, the house was cleaned so it is ready for company - and my sewing room is straightened (you can't sew in a mess). So now it is time to get to work. I do have a couple quilts to attach borders to, though as they are scheduled to go to the quilter this week.

The sewing classes from a couple weeks ago went well. Here is one of the patterns I had one of the ladies do. it is called the split nine patch and really looks great - and so easy. One lady had never sewn before and did an excellent job on hers.

So that is what is happening at the Spites. Of course we leave Thursday to go to Virginia. Joseph graduates from his Advanced Training course with the National Guard. I believe he will officially be a helicopter mechanic. It will be good to have him home, though, after being gone almost 7 months.

I will have more projects to post after the wedding. And of course some pictures of the kids.
So till later - blessings on all.
