Birthday Freebies, part 1

You all know it was my birthday last week, and one of my favorite things is birthday freebies. I have about 40 apps on my phone that are stores and food places. More than half do something free.


Maverik offered a free pastry. Their muffins are the best!


I got this little bundtlet from Nothing Bundt Cake. The kids made quick work of it. I didn't even get a taste.


Tide Cleaners gave me a $10 coupon so I got my peacoat cleaned.


I got a mcchicken from McDonalds.


And six wings from Buffalo Wild Wings. I had never tried their dryrub. Now I'm a fan!

Last one for now...


Chick-fil-A gave me a brownie. Yum!

More and More Quilts

A couple of weeks ago, Bossy and fam came over to help tie a couple of quilts. The big one was for her little boys' bed and the small one was for her sweet little girl. As you can see, the small one was made from the leftover blocks.

It took most of yesterday and a good part of today to get them bound. I hope they love them.

Baby Doll's Tournament, Part 2

As promised, I am back to finish telling you how the tournament ended.

Saturday morning was so cold! Thankfully, the drive was short and soon we were getting settled at the Jetty. There were four more games of pool play before the actual tournament.




We came out in a 3-way tie for 1st and point spread slipped us into 3rd place. That meant the silver division.  

There was so much sitting around. One of the courts was an hour and a half behind! They finally got moving and after a bit of a struggle, we finally beat them.

That put us in the championship round. Curly showed up to watch as did Beauty and The Beast and their boys.

The final game was easier than the others and we slid by with a decisive win and a gold medal!




A very good day.
