Good morning,
VELDA - Willy is a handsome dude! Congrats on posting a photo!! My DDIL used to quilt for the same organization (she was their binder), but her group disbanded because she was the only participant under 80 yrs old. The other ladies were tired.
JUDI - your house is going to be so festive! If you were here, I'd give you all the fir, cedar, and holly greens you could wish for!
LOIS - happy birthday to your sister, DELORES. I wish she'd stop in to visit now and then.
BECCA - good news about the twins! Nice to hear a little chatter about going home plans. Our unit used to tell parents to figure their babies would go home around their original due date.
SUZETTE - how long will it take you to do that row? What is your deadline? Is it the last row? Who gets to keep this quilt when it's finished?
VAL - squeaky wheel gets the attention! Good for you for standing up for yourself at work! Are you CHRISS'S Santa?
CHRISS - Second dates are always a good thing! Have fun at the quilt show! Are you VALERIE'S Santa?
FLO - sorry about the mower problems. What a pain. But if it won't start, how are you loading it up and getting it back to the dealer?? Sorry you have a headache. I used to get bad headaches almost every day. I had my hystie and boom! headaches gone! I rarely have one anymore.
JANA - sounds like with Ethan gone you won't be going to Costco quite as often if milk is your Costco trigger!
With the shake and bake going on in your old neighborhood, I bet you're extra glad you moved to Utah!
MARY Q - that's a good price for a Rowenta. I've had two Rowentas. One lasted 6 yrs, one lasted 9 months. I had a Black & Decker I got at a thrift shop for $4 and it lasted 3 yrs. Now I have a Sunbeam for several years and I love it!! You are the tree skirt queen! I saw your tree skirt on FB. It's a stunner!! Did you use bias binding on those scallops? I like W&N, too. And both Scottie and Foxy love to lay in it as it puddles on the floor under the frame. They think it's the most comfy!
And can you please remind me again when of our SS Must Mail By Date? I keep forgetting to write it on my calendar.
KATHY - not the itchies again! And a cough, too? Possibly a residual from your pneumonia? What are we going to do with you? I missed about your sister. Does she have a new job? Doing what? And why is it amazing thing that she's worked 8 shifts in a row? No days off? Glad things are going well for her, but now let's get YOU straightened out!
SHARONA - what are you making for your Elf? Is it me???
I want to know because I'm a curious snoop! Dubai? Interesting! Is she happy with her assignment?
We have a very rainy morning. I MAY wimp out on my morning walk. Yesterday I finished quilting my latest quilt (sorry, I haven't figured out pictures yet, either) just 15 minutes before it was time to leave to meet friends for HH/supper. Had a mishap and thought for a while I was going to have to finish it on my Bernie. I was removing the platform from the throat of the machine that is needed for ruler work on my LA and my finger accidentally hit the needle down button. Plunged the needle right through the 1/8" hard plastic platform and threw the whole machine out of time. And didn't do the needle any good either! It took Bill an hour to get that fixed. Good thing he's handy! (and patient
) But the machine sews better now than it has for a long time. I fixed it!!
Today is chiropractor, shopping for a birthday gift for my sister, binding that quilt, and tonite our DGS is coming by (he lives 30 miles away) to pick up our big cat tree that Foxy is giving him and then he wants to take us out to dinner. I think we'll go to the Blazin' Onion - a burger emporium here in town. And that's about the extent of my yesterday and my today.
That's all, Folks!
