The last day of May. Glad to see it! It's been a rough month.
We had a rip-roaring T-storm yesterday morning for about 3 hours. It started to thunder when we were out walking at 0630. But the clouds held their juice until we got home. We encountered Vicki about 1/3 mile away, tottering back and forth across the road. At one point she spotted us and stopped, turned towards us (while standing in the road), laid down her walking stick, took an aggressive stance, and lit up a cigarette. We tried to get her to move off the road, but she was having none of that! I pity the poor driver who will probably hit her one day and be traumatized for life, or wreck their car trying to avoid her. The criteria for committal is "a danger to herself or to others". I would think this would qualify her.
Bill loaded my Mickey/Minnie LOVE quilt onto the quilting frame yesterday and found an "ears" quilting pattern and downloaded it to his Q-bot. That's as far as he got though. I made the binding and am ready to tuck that project into the can! I plan to make the label today. I also finished the laundry and we both packed enough clothes into the trailer for 2-1/2 weeks. We don't leave until Friday morning, but we pack when all the clothes are clean. Just food is left to go, but that will be more last minute. And sewing.
JANA - your tote is gorgeous! Fabrics are purrfect and I love the X-stitch. But the best part of the whole project is working together with your daughter! I wish my DD's had even a little bit of interest.
BECCA - OK, you get a badge, too! lol! I always wear gloves when I do yardwork, but my nails still get dirty and broken. Thank you for your constant prayers for Albert and Gene. Gene texted last night that he had a fire in his brake lines on his big truck. ( I put a video of him backing his truck into his long driveway on FB). He managed to cobble things together enough to get home without "hook assist". His usual route takes him about 300 miles down the Alaska Hwy to Beaver Creek, Yukon and then back to Fairbanks. Now his truck, "Snort", is in the shop for a while.
LORI - your day sounded ideal! You must have everything shiney clean by now! Did Dad's chair come yet? We're still waiting on our furniture. Most of our state is starting to relax restrictions starting tomorrow. My guess is they will want to deliver our furniture about the time we are leaving for two weeks of camping. Sigh. Did your friend absolutely love her gold/blue quilt? It was a stunner!
Bill liked last night's concoction: broccoli, rice, chicken, and queso poured over all and baked. And we'll have the rest of it tonite, with salad. He loves leftovers, for which I'm really thankful. It means I only have to really cook about 3x/wk.
Are you cooking tonite?
