We are off to babysit this morning! Yay! I can't wait! And it's going to be a nice day, so we'll probably be taking her for a walk. It's going to be a great day!
JANA - congratulations to your 49ers. We watched the game and it was quite a show! The Super Bowl will be bright with all that red running around on the field! I personally don't think God cares what we wear to church. He just is thankful to have us there!
CHRISS - Sounds like Jerry nods off for a few minutes when you're having those short conversations. If it's just a few minutes and it upsets him to find you gone, maybe you should save your morning readings to do then, so when he wakes up he will find you still there. And would Jerry like those nutritional drinks any better if you made a smoothie in the blender with a bit of ice cream or a banana, peaches, berries, etc? My mom used to make a lot of custard for my dad. Unfortuntely, she liked custard more than he did and ate about 3/4 of it herself.
TINA - you're welcome!
But sorry you're sick. I think you should go to Urgent Care ASAP and be tested for flu and for Covid. They can help with both.LYN - well, now I want to know what that cat quilt pattern is that you found! I have quite a collection of them. Cat holes, Cat Scratch, Cats in PJ's, and more. I also have QIAD's Delectable Mtns book. I don't know how, after careful measuring, these things happen. But don't feel special - they happen to me, too!
MARY Q - You are so lucky!! Fabric falls on you from heaven! I love 30's and batiks - my favorites! Though, so are florals, Civil War, novelties, plaids, flannels, fairy frosts . . .. Heck - I love it all! Have to say though, I cringe When you talk about packing your fabrics and books into your garage. If I did that at home, everything would get damp and musty in no time at all - at least in winter.
VAL - Little Josiah is a fighter! He's going to conquer this. He's got all his honorary great auntie's in his court, praying for him! I am glad you are getting some sewing time in. You need and deserve it!
FLO - sorry a zipper won't work for your purse. Maybe a snap or magnetic closure would work. Or a new and different pattern and just make a new purse? Personally, I don't like making projects like that but admire those of you who do.
JUDI - the party for Ryker sounds like a lot of fun for everyone! I've never seen Yellowstone or Longmire. Too violent and "soapy" for me. I'm a comedy person. But I do like that quilt! Maybe it's going to be our next "group" project. Sorry Colleen's family is still sick. I've forgotten where they are going but if they are still sick or testing positive for Covid, I sure hope they aren't flying!
LOIS - you are such a trend setter! Now we all want to do that quilt! lol! I hope your Bill's arm is better after a weekend of rest. Did he hurt it or did it just hurt itself?
KATY, SUZETTE, KATHY, SHERRY - where are you guys??
Yesterday I finished my four fox blocks and have most of my background and trees cut out. Have a little more cutting to do still before I start sewing again. And my sewing days just got decimated. Bill was making rezzies for our trip home even as I've been typing this post and because there were limited dates available at one of our favorite stopping places in AZ, he booked what he could, which means we will be leaving here a few days earlier than planned - Feb 11th - Super Bowl Sunday - instead of the 15th. Since the Seahawks aren't in it, this is OK with us. Maybe it will be on the radio. It means we'll still have two full weeks with Ms Boots but I only have two more sewing days left - next weekend. I could sew in the evenings (and might do a little bit), but I'm usually just too tired after chasing, crawling, dancing, and racing around with our busy little girl all day long. lol! But I'll take baby every day before quilting!
Happy Monday to everyone, and healing, peaceful thoughts for all who need them!

. I've never had covid before and I'm a high risk but I'm hoping I'll be ok and Frankie doesn't get it.
