Here is a pic of the first three parts of the sampler.  I have gotten a little behind but hope to catch up again.  I didn't start part 4 until yesterday but did get a fair amount done.  I hope to get more stitching done today.  I am looking forward to having lots of stitching time on our up coming trip to Florida on Tuesday (4-15-08).  I should be able to get lots done during the flights there and back.  We are going to visit family and it should be fun.  It will be nice to go on a trip with just my Honey.  I don't think he and I have ever flown somewhere just the two of us before.  We have always gone to places within driving distances when we have traveled without the kids.  I am really looking forward to getting away with him. 

Well, today was the first day for the Northland Hospice Training Program.  I  really enjoyed it.  There are about 25 people in the group and then the leaders.  Our first workout for the beginning running group was walking 3 minutes and running/jogging 2 minutes 6 times.  I completed all the intervals only walking for about 5 - 10 seconds during the 3rd jogging time.  I managed to keep up with the two leaders for our group pretty well along with about 5 other people.  I will take tomorrow off and then will do the next training intervals on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week.

Here is a picture of my little bit of progress on this project.  I took the picture on 3-29-08.  I will post another picture when it is finished. I am stitching it on 18ct light oatmeal fiddlers cloth with DMC 890.  Enjoy!

What is it with cats and clean laundry! Here is a pic of my kitty laying on the freshly folded towels.  I had one folded and she decided that was where she wanted to sit.  So, with each towel I then folded after that I picked her up and placed it on the pile and then put her back on top of the towels.  She just laid down each time I put her back down.  So, I had to snap this picture of her since she kinda reminds me of the story The Princess & the Pea.  We also have a stack of blankets in the living room that she loves to lay on as well.  Go figure!

#22 We are registered as Crew members for the San Diego 3 Day event.  We still have to receive our crew assignments.  Hopefully we will here something later on this month as to what we will be doing.  Our first choice was to drive a sweep van which goes around picking up walkers along the route that can't make it to the next pitstop.  I don't think we will get to do this since it is the most requested assignment and many people registered for the event well before us.  They work on a first come first served basis.  So, our second choice was to check in walkers as they come into the campsite each day at the end of the route.  We would also be helping them get out on the route in the morning too.  We really want to do something together throughout the event. 

#62 My Honey and I took our first trip together just the two of us.  We went to Laughlin, NV and stayed at the Colorado Belle.  We had a really good time and spent most of our time playing the penny slot machines.  We definitely came back with less money than we went with.  However, we had a really good time just spending time together.
