  1. It's going to hit 65F here or thereabouts so I am going into the garage to clean/organize and tidy up. Then it's finishing the Xmas cards so I can mail them on Monday, 2 loads of laundry, a quick run up to R-A, decorating the tree and pulling together another load to take to Salvation Army. Busy busy here too today. ;-)

    1. We're having reverse weather. It was 35 here in California this morning. Unusually cold. I'm loving it! :-) Hope you had a productive weekend - sounds like a lot on your agenda

  2. For me, it is quilting, quilting, quilting. I have to take the fastest shower ever, then go to the symphony with my husband. I plan on drinking quite a bit of wine, then passing out when we get home. I would rather have your schedule - at least it would shake things up!

  3. It was business as usual for me... Housework, sewing, kids stuff, etc... But very relaxed and I got to spend my entire weekend at home so I'm feeling refreshed & ready to tackle a new week! :)

  4. Hi - New to your blog, wondering why it's called "the Hawaii plan"? guessing it's because you plan to move to Hawaii someday? Can you tell us newcomers a little about yourself as I don't see anything in your profile. Looks like you live in Northern Ca and are a Seattle transplant. Thanks!
