Whippy Wednesday

 

I don't have much to show this month.
Well by my standards anyways. LOL


Let's start off with Parade Sammy.
This is where I left you last month.


This has been my nightly stitch when I can.
I am almost to the finish line.


Floral Sampler has been another one 
I pick up now and then.


Am loving all of the flowers I have stitched thus far.
Even the purple ones.


I am a third of the way from completing 
this beauty now.


Next up is Faith 1831.


Almost finished with the second swag.



Finally I once again picked up the Summer Saltbox.
This is where I was last year when I put it away.


I started working on this when I was working
from home with nothing to do.
My boss knew I was doing nothing and did not care.

In other news,
I will miss my boss.
she was the BEST one I had ever had 
in my 50 year banking career.
20 years with First National Bank.
Then 30 years with Bank of America.
When I gave her my resignation letter,
the entire week she kept telling me
that she was not accepting it because
she did not want me to leave.
I was her top sales performer. 
So I made an announcement at my 
retirement party that if she was not
going to accept my letter, I was going AWOL.
Everyone laughed including her.

Easter was low key.
I went to lunch with my mom.
For lunch we had salad, deviled egg,
multi grain roll, 2 slices of ham with 
pineapple and cherry on top, stuffing,
mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole,
 peas and strawberry cheesecake for dessert.
That was a lot of food for lunch.
Later that evening Bob and I
had ham, green bean casserole and sweet potatoes.
Apple pie for dessert.

Every day thus far at least one of my co-workers
has texted me saying they miss me.
Guess I was really liked...well I know 
I was everyone's go to person.

Mid Week Blessings To All!

    The edging design is precious. It has a very classy vibe.

  6. That is so cool that you are missed -- and that you miss your boss. Have lunch sometime before too much time goes under the bridge. Speaking of, that was quite the lunch with mom!

  8. Fifty years in banking is amazing. Glad they all showed they missed you. There is a lot of eating out in retirement!

  10. Your standards are quite high and I would never, ever, come close to meeting them. I've not picked up a needle or hook in months. Your Easter meals sound delicious. I thought I would be making deviled eggs after dyeing eggs with Mia but she wanted to take them home. It's doubtful they were eaten, but it made her happy.
