I'm back! Busy day yesterday! I meet my across-the-road neighbor every morning at 7:45 to walk. And I was almost late, a sin for which there is no forgiveness in Scottie's eyes! After that it was race off to the chiropractor, then to pick up our mail, and then to Ace to look at something for Bill's birthday, which I ended up passing on. I didn't get home until almost noon. I washed fabric and hung it out, then at 2:00 Bill said he had to go to Discount Tire (20-mile RT) and needed me to go along to bring him home - and then back again two hours later to pick truck up. So a big part of my day was spent on the road.
Today - back on the road, but just not as many miles. I have my annual physical this morning. My guess is I'll be stopping by a drug store to pick up a new bathroom scale after that.
(As for sewing, I'm still getting all my scrap strips ironed, pieced where necessary, and cut into 7" lengths. I'm sewing them together to make 6-1/2" blocks and last night in my sleep I sewed those blocks together all night long. I think this quilt could be referred to as a 'crumb quilt'. I should do some yard work in our front beds. And maybe I will! Though probably won't . .
CHICKIE - There aren't too many Miriams around and I guess it sounds a lot like Marilyn. But now you are called Chickie! At least you aren't called "Nancy", which is what Bill's mom called me. That was Bill's 'ex', who his mom didn't even like!! But then she didn't like me, either. My Autumn has always been called Amber. She's learned to answer to both! lol! Your scrap quilt is beautiful! You did a very special, loving job on it and your mom will be thrilled. She HAS to be!
BECCA - prayers for your little Kade. Love his name! Nice that your DD has the Father's Day celebration all in hand. You have such a nice family!
VELDA - safe travels!
IRISH - I love Ruby Begonia! Everyone should have a middle name. What is yours? Irish ------ What?
JANA - now that the little hands have gone home, what are you working on these days in the Batt Cave? Still Sunflowers? There is a perfume called Sunflowers. It's my younger sister's favorite scent.
PAM - I bought a foot for STID and it works wonders! Now it's darned near purrfect! And it's all in the foot. I was terrible before the foot came into my life. I'm with your hubby!! Once, before we FINALLY got people to label their foods for allergy alerts at our RV Rally, I took a bite of chip dip and almost instantly threw up on the floor. I made it to the trash can in time, thank heavens. There was some kind of seafood in it and it really triggered my gag reflex as soon as it hit my tongue. Taking the "little things" out doesn't work. They leave their flavor behind.
I think supper tonight is going to be pizza. I have leftover sauce in the freezer, and turkey pepperoni in the fridge that needs to be et up. I'm trying to 'eat down' the freezer in preparation to leaving for 3 weeks. Of course, since we're also taking a freezer with us, some of it is just going to be transferred.
What's the plan at your house? I always get good ideas from all of you!
P.S. TINA is now in Virginia, relaxing for a week before they start their return trip.
