We've got rain! Looks like plenty of it, too. I may not set foot outside this 29' trailer today! Guess I will just have to sew, sew, sew the day away.
🪡CHRISS - Lois had a great idea! A shower chair or even just a stool would be very helpful. I picked a nice one up in a thrift store for $4 just to have on hand after we had 3 overnight guests who really needed one. But even just a plastic lawn chair would work in a pinch. There are also poles that go from floor to ceiling with handholds so patients can pull themselves out of their chair, bed, tub, etc. They work very well. Were you able to get into your sewing room yesterday?
LYN - thanks for the update on Kathy. Did you spend those $$$? The eagles nest is on 29, just west of 1431. When we were there, there was a large pull off along the river where you could watch them. You can Google Llano Eagles Nest and info pops up. There are Eagles cruises you can take this time of year, too, on the lake (I think Lake Buchanan?) which might be a nice thing to do with your guests.
MARY Q - a week or two after washing, smell your fabric again. Sometimes persistant smells can return after a period of time. I do get up early, though I'd rather it not be quite this early - 0400. But it gives me my 7 hours and I rarely sleep past that. I go to bed about 9pm. The fur kids don't help. They watch to see if I even twitch and then the barking and meowing starts.
VALERIE - the quilt is lovely - each block different because each of us is different. God bless! What good luck to run into your old boss. Do you think this might lead to a new and better job? Thank you for the picture of little Josiah. Considering all he's gone through, he does look pretty good. Such big beautiful eyes! He must be very confused about what's been happening to him.
JUDI - happy birthday to your baby boy! They grow up so fast, don't they? My oldest, Lara, will be 52 in 2 weeks. I read in bed, too, but tend to fall asleep within a couple pages. Did you make any progress on your geese yesterday?
JANA - You're getting a new laptop, too? If Michael is doing the research, this may take a while. As a network engineer, Bill is also very picky about computers. It can take him weeks, even months, to do all his research before he makes a decision. Are you able to get any sewing done lately?
LOIS - did you get your Cats all quilted?
Yesterday I got half my cats in pj's done and actually sewn together. I was only going to do the blocks and save the assembly for home, but decided to go for the entire top. It's going to be cute! Since we're off babysitting this week, I plan to finish cats and start on the Unicorn quilt. These quilts have been "comissioned" by Autumn for the 4 yr old twin girls of her friend, Leah (who received the Lemur quilt at Christmas). I also need to make a quilt of foxes for their 6 yr old brother. These kids LOVE quilts!
Hope everyone is staying dry, warm, and safe from all the weather that is crossing the country! We are hoping the rain clears this afternoon so we can get out and walk with the dog.

As for packing, I always pack too much! I put out everything I WANT to take, then force myself to put half back in my closet. And I still take too much! And every trip I swear I'm going to take less. But do I listen to myself?? Nooooo...
