Good morning,!
SUZETTE - congrats on the motorcycle wallhanging! Your hubby will love it! As for your cement repair, if it's your friend's job, he could be busy and just hasn't gotten around to it yet, or he might have forgotten? Is it possible to simply ask him? If not, your realtor may know. Or you might cook up concrete repairs - there are companies who do this specific thing. My DD worked for a property management company managing rentals and she knew all the places to call for all the repairs. Sadly, (for me) that daughter now lives in - wait for it - Virginia!!
LOIS - you were really fast with that quilt! Have a nice visit with your kids today.
JUDI - welcome home! Sorry about the storms (and the laundry) but looks like nice weather at home! I can't believe Ryker is already in pre-school!
CHRISS - happy birthday a day late to Jerry! Was there cake? There should have been cake! I'm so glad Marilyn called him. What a sweet gift! Poor Moose. Scottie never catches squirrels either but not for lack of trying! Scot sends Moose a woof. Thank you for your congrats on Mike. And yes, I'm over the moon proud of him! What a great story about the little boy, the shirt, and UT!! Take THAT, Bullies!!
SHERRY - I hope the storms didn't attend your DGS's game! Ahh, those knees - the bane of those of us of "a certain age". Or, in my case - hips. Thanks for wanting to buy my son's book. I'll add more info at the end of this post.
SHARONA - 40's already?? You know what comes after that?!?
MARY Q - your snowman fabric sounds purrfect! I also like white Fairy Frost for that snowy effect. It kind of shimmers and gives dimension. Hope you got out yesterday. Did you try tightening the light bulb in your fixture?
BECCA - Off the ventilator is a HUGE step! Poor Brodee with all the pokes. They are such little fighters!
JANA & LORI - I'm sure you had an awesome day yesterday!! Did you get any new quilt ideas? Jana, I've seen several weddings where the attendants could wear any dress they wanted of a certain color. It added another layer of interest to the wedding party.
CINDY - well I guess it's good to be needed! But you probably need a disguise when you come into work so you have time to park your car and get your coffee and dial up your friends!!
VAL - I knew there was a lot of shifting of staff at your work but not that your regional manager had resigned. I hope your own job is secure. I know this isn't state that there this week, but I always hated those inspections, as necessary at they are.
We stopped to see Uncle Ernie last night while in Seattle and are going back this morning. He is being examined by a nurse from an outside company to asses his physical needs. Then, according to her findings, they will figure out the best place, probably a group home, that can meet those needs. He is sliding downhill quickly. Refuses to eat, extreme weight loss, and now his wound is infected. Again. And his mind is totally gone.
I was able to get a start on a few Sept lotto blocks yesterday but it's slow going lately. But that's OK. I needed a break from my machine anyway. Which, actually is in the shop right now. I've been using my back-up machine for 3 weeks.
Thank you all for your sweet words about my son and his book. For those who asked about him, you can Google ML Erdahl and up he pops! He wrote a cozy mystery. He plans it to be a series about a young woman adventure guide in the PNW wilderness. He already has the second book written but it's in the editing phase. This book is called Winter Takes All. Because it's seasonal, set in winter, the publisher held off publication date until October 23. On Mike's website there is a link to pre-order it sent to any device. He is also on FB. I however, like most of you, prefer a paper copy. He said they can be ordered from Amazon On October 23. An audio version will also be available, hopefully by then. What I was able to get from him last night was a paperback version for him to sign at this 4-day PNW author's convention where there were several authors signing books at a special evening event. I think hardbacks will be available from Amazon but not for another month. His publisher is Wild Rose Press.
Got to run. Have to be in Seattle by 0800!
Have a super Saturday!

Then I will take the paper piecing project out of timeout. I had to take a break from it. Now I need some ideas from you guys. We have an outside stairwell that needs some cement work. One of hubby’s friends does that kind of work and has said he would do it. Well, he hasn’t shown up or called. I need ideas of where to look for someone. I thought of the realtor we used to buy the house. Hoping she would know someone. Well I am off to get another cup of coffee. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
