Never Knew I Could Hurry So Slowly

6a00d8341cbb0053ef01b8d05e213b970c-400wiCait and Kathryn will be here this evening. I’m trying very hard to get the bedroom ready for them. You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to change bed sheets when you have no working spine.

I grocery shopped yesterday, but had to wait for Jesse to get home to bring the groceries up for me.

I planned to vacuum before C and K arrived, but it ain’t happening. They’ll just have to be grateful for food and clean sheets.

It sure will be good to see them. Haven’t seen them since August 2014.

My sister coming to visit next week. Have to pace myself getting ready. House always turned upside down anyway what with eating, reading, snacking, movie watching, laundry . Dusting seems very important until she gets here. Y'all enjoy your time together!

Glad to hear they're coming to visit. I wish Jed could be here this weekend, but he has a lot of stuff going on at home.

Have fun! The girls won't be bothered about those dust bunnies at all.

Hope the wewather is good there as our forecast is for rain, rain, and more rain for the next 3 days.

Heaven help me, I'm packing up a lot of my sewing room to prepare for a furniture rearrangement. Looks good on paper, but oh, the work involved!

Hugs!

Getting There

The new Blackberry Creek is getting close to completion. Thank you, Jed for all your work. I've finally found a minute to get still and learn to post. Doesn't seem too difficult. When all the old posts and photos get transferred, we'll start working on the layout.  Today, I'm going to attempt to scale the stairs and do some work in the sewing room. I'm falling father and farther behind on my schedule to get things ready for the June 2026 quilt show.

Book Talk

To celebrate getting the border sewn on to my millefiori quilt, I decided to read a book--all the way through without stopping to sew anything. And I picked just the right one: Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano. If I had wanted to put it aside to sew, I don’t think I could have. This is the best book I’ve read for at least a year. It’s one of those stories that almost reads itself. You don’t feel like you reading but just enjoying an enthralling story. The pages fly by, and you’ve finished the book way before you’re ready to leave those wonderful but broken characters. The main character, Eddie (Edward) Adler, at the age of 12, survives an airliner crash. The crash claims 191 lives, including his parents and older brother. For the next six years, Edward struggles to carve out a place for himself in a world without his family. The story is heartbreaking and at the same time uplifting.  If you’re looking for a good book to read to usher in Autumn, I recommend this one highly...

Catching Up

This is my new granddog Ozzy. Daughter Andy recently adopted him. He initially showed up at Jesse's girlfriend's house, and after trying unsuccessfully to find his owner, she made him at home. But having one dog, two children, three cats, and a full-time job already, Ozzy (his name was Chip at the time) became too much for her. So Andy took him in. At first she was sure she had made a mistake. Not having ever owned a dog that she was responsible for (we had dogs from time to time when she was a child), she was sure she had bitten off more than she could chew. But things are settled down, and Andy and Ozzy have bonded. They visit me frequently, usually on Saturday to watch the Bama game--or in the case of last Saturday, to watch movies as there was no Bama game. Ozzie is a very good dog and appears to be well cared for. He had not been snipped, but he has been now. And the vet gave him a clean bill of health. As of yesterday, all the blocks, all 120 of them, are finished fo...
