We've got wind and rain this morning which, if it doesn't lighten up before 8am, will put the kibash on my morning walk. I'll walk in light rain, but not in hard rain or in wind. Too many big trees here!
The dog alarm went off at 3am this morning. Apparently the owls were having a hooting contest and Scott fancied himself a contestant. And if extra points were given for volume, he won, paws down!
Yesterday was a good day - I finished Bill's Christmas stocking and posted a photo. Then I gave my massage therapist his motorcycle quilt and posted a photo of that, too. He was REALLY happy. He actually jumped up onto the massage table to hold the quilt out for a photo!
In the afternoon I had time to make the labels for the Nutcracker quilts. Today I am going to put those labels on the quilts, resurrect my old hexie project - maybe. And maybe get my Cabbage Hill pattern - Over the River and Through the Woods - ready to embroider. It's 3 embroidered scenes separated by pieced blocks, so I need to pull some fabrics, too. As if I need more projects! I'm just not sure yet what I'm in the mood for. Bill and I both have dr appts this morning - just BP checks. And Scottie gets sutures removed this afternoon. Between the three of us we've had 8 appts of various kinds and 2 social dates, all in the last 5 days. We'd be foundering without our calendar!BECCA - glad you had time for your walk yesterday. It's a great way to start (or finish) a day. So nice of your neighbor to bring you that pulled pork! I bet it was tasty with that garnish of friendship.
LORI - so happy to hear Jack is feeling better. My sis was down for a day, too. Maybe they had the same thing . . . Congrats on getting the binding on the elephant quilt! I am bundling up now on my morning walks - even scarves and gloves, though no ear muffs yet. But looking at next week's forecast, I better dig them out!
TINA - I'm guessing both you and Frankie needed that sleep. I imagine it did you both a world of good. For a small town (~9,000+ official pop) we have quite a bit of shopping opportunities though I don't go often. We don't give a lot of gifts, and make most of the ones we do give.
CAROL - you will be all set for your quilt show in Feb! Thanks for those links. They were interesting. We voted last week - the very day our ballots arrived in the mail. We were able to track them on-line and they were "checked in" two days later at the auditor's office.
I've been soaking beans overnight and am going to make a pot of chili today. It's that kind of weather. Any leftovers, I will freeze for a travel meal - something to just warm up quickly after a long day on the road. It will take us 10-12 days to travel to Austin so I like to stock up with 2 weeks of easy to fix meals.
What's on your menu for tonite?
