Good morning. It's going to be a beautiful day. We just may dry out a bit for the upcoming storms to hit us tomorrow and Wednesday. I don't mind storms that are spread out and don't make snow.
A friend handed me a newspaper article about how we need friendship and to be around each other rather than be stuck in our houses. We need to be social. So I grabbed a friend I hadn't seen in a while, she never wants to go anyplace anymore, told her to put her shoes on and we went to town so I could buy milk. It was good for both of us. If you haven't gone anyplace with a girlfriend, I highly suggest it.
Today and the rest of the week will be waiting by the phone for appointments to be set up. I'm going to call and make sure that the doctor's orders placed on Friday are followed up on today. I think I will tell the doctor's office that when setting up these appointments we can be there whenever they want us and will take any cancellation slots. That way I won't sound pushy. Jerry really needs to have these tests done and get treatment started if he is to have a chance.
It seems that all we see any more on tv or read about it relates to cancer. It's on all the commercials and so in the news lately. We are probably just noticing something that has always been there because it is affecting us.
Judi, I love that you go to the meat market. I remember butcher shops when I was younger but everything now is pre packaged. We mostly eat hamburger and get it at Costco. Enjoy that OWL project, it will be fun to do.
Lois, happy anniversary. Are you scavenger hunting in the new pickup? There is a country song with a line that says "You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow" take a picnic lunch and turn the cargo light on.
Diane, OWL is a block of the month called On Wonder Lane, some really cute applique patterns.
Izzy, from your post it sounds like you are doing well. I am hoping that your health is improving, you are in my prayers.
Velda, isn't that just the way. People give you something from the goodness of their hearts and it ends up causing more work. Glad you were able to save the blanket.
Becca, our birds seem to have changed a bit. We used to have screech owls that lived in a tree here, I haven't heard them in a long time. We used to have a couple of Robins and now we seem to have a flock. Robins must think we have the best bugs and worms because they have their meals in my front yard. We also have small birds, and a few blue jays. I want to plant some milkweed to attract butterflies. Maybe they will have it at the nursery in town.
Maryz, I had my house pattern enlarged yesterday so I can start tracing today. I'm still trying to figure out my background. My charity project is a 12 1/2 inch block with HST's. Yellow, black and white. I really like HST's, they are easy to do and make so many different patterns depending on how you lay them out. Love Clair's cats, lots of great choices. I would want to see Autumn open the ghost quilt. I vote for sending the cat quilt and taking the ghost quilt.
Jana, funny how pets know all the tricks to get us to comply. You need a sticker that says Grandma's Taxi Service on your car.
Flo, sorry you have been ill. The doctor will surely fix you, glad you have Joe to be your driver.
Valerie, my home blocks will be the same pattern but different fabrics. I used to think that the swap blocks all needed to be the same but why do we all need the same however many blocks? I have spare boxes and also have a package to mail. If you come here I'll give you a spare box and you can take mine to the post office to send out with your package, deal? Yes, I did resign from my Medicare counseling and from my Agency on Aging commission. They both require traveling a distance and meetings take an entire day. I am still on the Golden Agers board; they handle our senior center and have a monthly meeting a couple of hours long in town. And the Commission on Aging which is a quarterly zoom meeting where I am the facilitator. If either of these interfere with my Jerry duties they will be dropped. congrats on the new baby, yay you. So? are DD and DGS going to have a double wedding or do you need to be in two places at one time?
Maryq, I am excited about the home swap too. I am ready to trace and hope to make a sample block today. Maybe I'll drop by and we can go to the post office then have a sew in. You do have lots of squirrels to deal with. You need a cat, cats chase squirrels. I would love to start cleaning out the garage but right now I can't.
Here I go, not really ready for breakfast yet. Guess I will shower and get dressed and see what is calling me in my room.
You girls have a super day, if the weather is nice get out and enjoy it.
