It's going to be a soggy, windy day here. They are talking possible downed trees and power lines. Though the worst of it will be further north of us near the Canadian border.
Someone knocked our mailbox down night before last. And apparently left a $5 bill in our driveway to pay for damages. We don't receive mail in the box anymore but it did have our name and house number on it. So I guess we'll put the mailbox away and plant a new post with new numbers. I got Scottie out for a walk yesterday and we went about 1-1/4 miles. He was happy to get out but was dragging by the time we got home and slept most of the day.
I got in a little sewing time with my back-up Bernie and made some Nov lotto blocks which I'll mail to Val today. I'm not sure what I'll work on today - FPP Elf Mug Rugs or my Christmas Blizzard, Every other project I have ready to sew is already out in the trailer. One of those projects is a chandelier quilt and I just tossed folded fabrics together for that. Maybe I'll bring it back in and actually cut the pieces to save space in the trailer. Anyway, between nagging Bill to do his treatments, and giving Scott his meds, walking him, and doing HIS treatments, my day is full even without sewing! lol!
BECCA - Have you heard how Brodee is this morning? Wishing you a painless dental visit today.
CAROL - I hope you'll share a photo of your quilt when you are finished. What does "machine basted a quilt" mean? I'm not sure I get that.
JANA - how did Ethan come to choose the cello for his instrument? No on there could talk him into, say, the flute or piccolo or even a harmonica? lol! He had to have the biggest instrument ever made?
Have you gotten much sewing done since Kari left? And is there any report on how Other Gramma is doing? Will she be able to manage after Kari leaves? As for my machine, I tried several needles, different threads and bobbins, and rethreaded everything many times. Whatever is wrong with it, it is in the thread path before it reaches the needle. Probably just a burr or something easy. I hope.TINA - We didn't erase your post, honest! You probably needed to hit SUBMIT a second (or third!) time. It happens. I've always straddled our fur kids, too, to give shots, meds, treatments. The cone complicates things though. It can come off, but since we have to slide it over his surgical eye, I try to do that as little as possible to avoid the risk of hurting his eye. It's hard to hold his head steady with the cone. Definitely a two person job! I hope your headache is gone by now. I used to get terrible ones. My doctor told me they were a form of migraines, probably hormonal. As soon as I had my hystie, they went away and I've had very few ever since.
LORI - what did you do for your birthday?
The good news here is that there will be no cooking at our house tonite. We're going out to dinner with Tex & Annette, using a gift certificate they gave us last August. The bad news, it's a seafood restaurant!
Bill and I went there many years ago and they didn't have a single non-seafood item on the menu. Not one! But there is a little market across the street from the restaurant. I guess I can always run across and buy a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter and bring it back to the table. So what's happening on your plate tonite?
anyways she's been testing negative and she's back at school today. Jazmyne will most likely be going home today too. I've loved having her but having to wash her clothes every night was a pain. She has extra everything here except good pants to wear to school so I made sure they were washed every night.
