Monday Musings 11/11/24

by | Nov 11, 2024 | 13 comments

Happy Monday morning everyone!!! Welcome to Monday Musings! I hope you had a great week. It’s been a fun week here! Yesterday was our 47th (count ’em – 47!!) anniversary. It’s been a fun and wild ride with Chicken Legs! It’s hard to believe he’s been my untiring roadie for over 47 years. He’s carried keyboards and amps the first half of that, and my bass the last half. He took me to one of my favorite restaurants on Saturday, Pappadeaux’s. I had some great shrimp and grits and gumbo. Thank you, honey – you’re the best! On to the good stuff!!

Here’s how my story ended for the week of 11/4 – 11/10/24:

  • Sewing with Friends on Wednesday hopefully. Nope! Stayed up too late election night…or the day after election morning!
  • Work on Gnome for Thanksgiving blog hop project. DONE!! It’s a work in progress! Here is a little peek for you!
  • Maybe work on second ByAnnie’s bag. Nope! By the time I finally decided on my blog hop project, and got started on it, time just slipped away.
  • Whatever suits my fancy! I started writing my post for the Dresden Blog Hop, so there’s that! Come back on Wednesday to see my quilt!

My plans for the week of 11/11 – 11/17/24:

  • Finish post for Dresden Plate Blog Hop quilt.
  • Work on second ByAnnie’s bag…maybe this week!?
  • Whatever suits my fancy! Chicken Legs is on vacation this week, so we’ll see what we decide to do. We normally go to the mountains or the Gulf to eat seafood, but alas, the car goes in the shop tomorrow, so maybe before Christmas!

    I love your collection, Misty Mornings (also love that name). Congrats on 47 years! My husband and I celebrated our 47th in August. 1980 was a good year for weddings!

    Congratulations on 47 years Brenda. Sounds like a tasty way to celebrate. Love the peek at your Gnome for Thanksgiving project. I’m sure it’ll be stunning. I was up (yes I’m Canadian) watching your election results until 3:00 am. Couldn’t stop staring at the screen. I hope you have a wonderful week. Thank you for hosting us all and thank you in advance if you manage to link up with To Do Tuesday.

    Congratulations!! We used to love Pappadeaux’s, haven’t been there in decades. We stayed up until 2:30 on election night! Then I was too stoked to sleep. 😉
