Superbowl - what do you think?

Doesn't this say it all? I just had to add it. And I will watch the Superbowl, too.

Saturday Night at Hickory Bridge

Hickory Bridge Restaurant, Orrtanna, PA

A fireplace setting with an assortment of country foods that they provide

This is the lower dining room.

We went to Hickory Bridge Restaurant in Orrtanna, PA last night. It is such a wonderful place! The restaurant is a converted barn. It even has the planking on the floor. There are antiques everywhere. The food is just great! They have 3 entries and an assortment of vegetables and sides. They keep bringing more food until you say to stop. You also get a salad with warm bacon dressing and a choice of desserts. The place is just beautiful! Hickory Bridge Site - click here

My Pinterest

OK, I am hooked on Pinterest! I have found recipes, beautiful pictures, quilts, sewing, crafts, sayings, and lots of things to make me happy. If you have not tried it, you need to go to www.pinterest.com and sign up. They will get back to you in a day or two. Yes, you have to be invited. Once you are able to sign on, they give you a basic setup with boards. You can add things that you like to the boards or make new boards. You can add your own things or you can repin something that is already been added to Pinterest. If you find someone that adds pins that you like, then you can follow them.


I have added some things that I have pinned. Enjoy!

Officially retired!

Yes I am officially retired as an IT Project Manager at WellSpan Health in York. Now I can do want I never had time for before. I have a list in my head that I want to do.

This is a picture of a log cabin in Montana. It just looks so relaxing. I would love to go there and just take it all in. One day...

One more day and I will be officially retired from work! I will miss the people and the interaction with them. Now I will be entering he next chapter of my life. There are some things that I want to do - finish quilts for grandchildren, try to sew a zipper purse (I usually mess up a zipper and get frustrated). The pattern says that it is easy. We will see. I also have some crochet patterns that I want to try.


One more day...

Summer dresses for girls

This is such a great idea! Just take a pillow case and make a summer dress for a little girl. Here are the directions http://www.dressagirlaroundtheworld.com/pillowcasedresspattern.htm Send me some pictures of what you made.
Here are some pictures:

Soon to be Retired

In 1 week, I will retire from WellSpan Health. I have mixed emotions about it. On one hand, it will be nice not having to go to work in the snow and ice, no more sitting at a desk doing work when I am thinking of all the other things that I could be doing. On the other hand, it is a little scary wondering if the money will hold out, if I will get bored, and if my husband and I will still like each other. I have 5 more days to get up at 5:30AM and go to work. 


It also makes me feel old. I always associated retirement with old people and I don't feel that I am that old! 


Hopefully we can get in some travelling in our motorhome to places we haven't been. I want to start sewing and quilting things, too. I love creating homemade things. 


Well, I'll let you know what it feels like;-)
