IRISH - what great news! When you know it, you know it, don't you just know it! I"m so excited for you! I want to come help pack! But sounds like you have quite a crew there to help get things done. I have a feeling you are going to love your new home and making it all yours. Plus, plenty of room for drop-ins! Love the idea of all one level! Have you told Baby Girl yet? And egg-citing news on the eagle front, too! Have a super wonderful trip to FL. Hope you can come down off your cloud enough to relax while down there!
Fly safe!!BECCA - I've never developed an interest in basketball. When my first hubby was still in college he worked as sports editor for a weekly newspaper so we had to go to all the high school games. He was down on the court, taking photos and I had to sit in the stands and take notes for him on who made shots and what kind of shots they were. Well, I was about 12 months pregnant with our first baby. Picture me not quite 5 feet tall, gaining 60 pounds with that pregnancy. The guy next to me got up and started striding away on his very long legs, and my spiral notebook got caught on his jacket. He whipped it right out of my hands without noticing. I had to chase that fella clear through the gym, my tummy bouncing more than the basket ball! and of course, I was wearing a bright red top so I'm sure I presented a better show than the players did on the court!
So no, to this day, basketball isn't my game. JANA - I'm not sure about the new football league either. At least Seattle has a team - the Dragons. I started to watch the first game but just as I turned it on, they went to halftime, so I went to my sewing room and forgot about it after that. But it's early days yet. Maybe it will catch on. There were a lot of fans on TV, screaming and yelling. Hope your T.P. quilt show takes off and becomes a huge annual hit!
LORI - I feel for your Bill on the hills. They can really get your back. You've been busy getting projects ready. I was doing that last week. Now, I'm deeply mired in "the orphanage". But things are working out! I kept dreaming about all those orphan blocks last night.
TINA - Yes, sometimes it's nice to be the recipient of random kind acts! But if you're used to being the one who is always doing for others, it can be hard to accept at first. Wow, your dad goes to a long church! Or else it's a very long ride. You may have to ask him to switch churches, go to a closer one, go less often, trade off taking him with other family, or maybe other members of the congregation could give him a ride.
Yesterday we had a great breakfast in Olympia with Bill's sister and DBIL (Ed & Becky). We gave them their housewarming quilt and they loved it. She put it on FB as soon as they got home. I posted a photo here last summer - black/white log cabin with red stars. I saw a similar one on Pinterest and tried to copy the photo. Part of it was my own design. It feels so good to give something that's so appreciated. On the way home we dropped off my Bernina and the vacuum for servicing/cleaning. While waiting for the place to open I popped into the Goodwill next door and found a few good bargains. Among them my new favorite shirt - a black/red buffalo plaid flannel shirt. I live in flannel shirts and this one is a beauty! $6. After we got home I spent a few hours with my orphan blocks. They are slowly coming together . . . . Today - chiropractor, sewing, and this week I hope to get into the yard to rake up some of the winter blow-down. Maybe today...... maybe not! I'm at the end of my latest book and I might spend some time just sitting and reading.
Supper is going to be potato pancakes and sausages grilled up with onions. And a salad. We have a little veggie beef noodle soup left but I think I'll freeze it for "one of those nights".
How is your supper story going to read?
we post and it is out there somewhere!
