Quilt in a Day Forums

Morning
I actually git alot done yesterday with my toddler friend. We went out front and she played with my chickens while I watered plants. She had a blast gathering the eggs. Then we went in back yard and she played at her water table for 2hrs while I weeded planter area. Still a lot of weeding to do. With all the rain and getting porch roof reframed things got ignored. When I brought her in for lunch, she fell asleep in her plate. That was cute.
Today supposed to rain.
Maryq when I went to Alaska we went to Juneau, Sitka,& Ketchikan. Sitka was my favorite.
Have a sew great day

Good morning, I slept till 730 this morning went to bed at 9. that I guess is called catching up on sleep.. It felt good. We are to go to 90 again today, It was ok at the lake but here it means not a lot of outside work will get done. My middle son is back to staying with us again,,,he is going to help ken get some yard work done if it doesnt get too hot. and get the projects around here finished, it will be good for Ken to get some help.
Jana I hope you are feeling better and able to eat.
Maryz enjoy your compnay
Lyn hope you do get some fishing in
Val I love Christmas quilts
Lori When I saw the price of the kit I thought it was high but then I realized I have spent at least thst much on a few quilts I have made ( especially Jane Austin with all the specialty fabric I bought) When we have a stash and shop out of it is is easy to forget what the actual cost of quilts are,
Maryq I hope you are having a good time in Alaska.
Lois I love your butterfly quilt.
Flo you make me tired I always think you need a vacation...
Chris, when the bed broke it woke me out fo a sound sleep..and I thought it was an earthquake or something,,,but we dont get many here,, I hope you will post a picture of the little chair....
Hope you all have a great day I am off to get things done,,,XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Good morning. It's going to be a great day today. Not sure just why yet but it will be great.

Nothing really exciting going on here. Not even sure what I will do today, mostly it will be indoors. Seems like just last week I was hoping for hot weather so my tomatoes would ripen, well I got it.

Lyn, my plan is to take the photo's and make a little story book that hopefully will be handed down. Sadly I don't have a picture of my son with the chair when he was young. I will look into vintage decals, thanks.

Maryq, today is the day. That fabric sale awaits. Wonder if it would be cheaper to mail it home or pay the luggage fee?

Flo, instead of calling it baby sitting you should call it a kid wearing out session. Funny she fell asleep before finishing lunch, she must have been so tired

Judi, I will post a picture of the chair when I am done. Glad you caught up on sleep.

Maryz, sorry about the temp crown. glad about the yard work. I have a picture of each generation (grandma, dad, me) with that chair. I didn't get one of my son, wish I had.

I think I will get moving. Not sure what dinner will be but yesterday was high carb and today needs to be low carb. Perhaps a tuna salad. Hope you all have super day

Good morning!

Doing better today. Still sore, but not bad. Very odd feels with the implants. Told to take it easy still on eating, for another week or so. I remind me that surgery was only 4 days ago and I need to be patient.

Aaron has worked a lot of OT the last few days. Car, motorcycle crashes with fatalities. Not the fun part of his job. The latest crash involved a well-known prime time news anchor. He was fine and uninjured. The other , not fine ar all. Utah has what we call 100 deadly days of summer. It's going strong, the wrong way!

My boys all get home from camp today. Sarah has talked a tiny bit to Joseph and camp has been good. Camp is barely north from the Teton peaks , on their side too. Beautiful area! One of my favorites, Yosemite being the first, with the Tetons second. Family dinner tomorrow and I'll hear some of the escapades. It's bear country too. Aaron is smoking a mishmash of ribs, salmon, burgers, what ever I had here that needed using up. I get potato salad, mashed style! Saw a recipe using a ricer for the potato and since I hate, detest, and dislike pickles, they stay out. Just mayo mustard, potato and hard boiled egg, seasoned with celery salt. Oh. I hate celery chunks too!

Well tifor breakfast . Mr G is cooking his. He's not adept at all in the kitchen, so simple scrambled eggs takes him 30 minutes! And he uses Egg Beaters! Mine will be jello. If he remembers! LOL! Oh, I love cream of wheat cereal.

Hugs,
Jana

Chriss - add onenow of your son. Just have him kneel beside.

Windy, smoky and possible storms. The wind is out of the NW, there's lots of wildfires in Manitoba. It will be a stay in day and short Minnie walks.

Judi, It's good to sleep in and catch up on rest.

Chriss, Do you have a picture of your son at the age he would have used the chair? If so maybe you could manipulate two photos together and it would look like he's next to the chair. I have a friend who did that. She took a photo of guys in a boat and put it in a picture of the sewer lagoon up here, with the caption, "Fish'n for sewer bass"

MaryZ, Sorry about the temp crown. I'm surprised you didn't trash dive or did it get thrown in the illegal fire? Looking forward to seeing ABC quilt when finished.

MaryQ, My neighbors from Colorado that are full time RV'ers now, are in Alaska. They were lucky and saw the Mtn several times while in that area. Photos were beautiful, hope it a good day for you to see it.

I got the labels mailed and the post lady assured me they weren't going on strike, but I have no idea how long it will take to get to Texas. Before the smoke got bad, Minnie and I sat outside and I read a couple chapters and had some friends stop by to visit.

Today has options in sewing, not sure what I will work on. Dinner will be leftover pork tenderloin and probably a salad.

Thought I'd add about a special program tomorrow. The Tabernacle Choir will be performing/presenting its 5000 continuous broadcast in the morning. Music and the Spoken Word first aired in 1929. A family member climbed and sat on a ladder in the Tabernacle. Mr G's grandfather was groomed and trained to become 9ne of the conductors, until the copper mine closed and he left for a job in Oakland California. He there later had a similar music program on Sunday mornings on a San Francisco radio station for many years.

Tomorrow's performance starts at 9:30 am, live, mountain daylight time. The choir is singing the first song performed in 1929. The Morning Breaks, one of my favorites.

Many stations carry the weekly broadcast, as well as BYUTV, which is free to watch.

It will be a wonderful program. Not many programs have been around 96 years!
