Taco was the only furbie who stuck with me after I turned the vacuum on--and he didn't stick for long.
My weekend was busy but rewarding. Saturday, I finally cleaned and straighten my sewing room, which just about did me in. Vacuuming is something I pay for after the fact. But I have a sewing room now that doesn't frighten me when I open the door.
I even managed to get rid of a few things: the box that my new iron came in and the contents of my overflowing trash can. Well! That's something.
The pain stayed revved up pretty high all weekend, but I didn't let that spoil my Sunday. Two Bible study classes, church service, and a fellowship dinner filled the day. And I enjoyed each and every minute, in spite of the pain. I did resort to a pain pill last night, the first one in a while.
This is the project I'm going to concentrate on for now. It's the quilt I started for my stepdaughter Amy, using fabric from Vann's shirts. It will be a disappearing nine patch. I'm going to try to get it finished in time to give it to her for Christmas. That will mean putting the Granny Squares on the back burner for now, but there's no hurry for them. I really want Amy to have this as soon as possible.
I'm also looking for a new internet browser. I have never been happy with Safari, and it has only got worse lately. I can no longer use Foxfire because they eliminated the versions that work with my Mac. I can't update my Mac's operating system to take the new Foxfire, I'm told, because it is "vintage." It's about seven years old and still operates a whole lot better than my Gateway ever did when it was brand new. But it's classified as vintage. I don't plan to buy a new Mac while I still have a perfectly good one. So does anybody have any suggestions for a browser that operates on a "vintage" Mac?

My daughter, the computer guru, switched me to "Chrome". I was having trouble with Firefox. Don't know how well it will work with your Mac. Good luck!!

I have no suggestions for a new browser but I like your sewing room - it's so bright and cheerful. What a nice gift for your stepdaughter. I'm sure she'll love and cherish it.

I use Chrome on my Mac, but it isn't "vintage."

The idea of having a quilt of my father's shirts just brings a tear to my eye every time you have mentioned it. What a treasured gift, both to you as you've touched and stitched every inch, and to his daughter, who will look at it every single day. You have a big heart, Susan.

Cheers for your diligence in cleaning up your sewing room! I was reminded today that it is only 12 weeks until Christmas Eve, so you'll enjoy all the sewing to come for your gift list in your pretty and clean sewing room. Applause!
I love the cherished fabrics and loving thoughts that will compose this disappearing 9-patch quilt for Amy! Years ago I made a wall hanging from this pattern for a friend who had lost her husband and the label said the pattern was chosen to remind her that love never disappears. The love is still there, tho perhaps not easily visible.
My techie son isn't available yet, but I'll ask his thoughts about your internet browser conundrum.
Hope you're feeling lots better!
Hugs!

Some time ago, I read Dr. Seuss to a group of elementary school children. I think they were mixed as to grades, because there were big ones and little ones. I was amazed at how well they behaved and participated in the discussion.
