Quantum Leap

Patches

Well, I’ve tried everything else for pain relief--every kind of salve, cream, ointment, patches, drops, pills, exercises, CBD in both oil and gummy form. So why not quantum physics?

Daughter Andy brought me these patches this morning to try for my back pain. Somebody she knows says they work like magic, so here goes. They’re supposed to work with quantum physics--no drugs or chemicals. I’ve had one on my back now for a few hours. So far, I can't tell a big difference, but I’ll reserve judgment until I’ve given it a good try. If I find it doesn't help, I suppose the next thing will be graveyard dirt and eye of newt.

Sister Ramey and I made a short trip to a local thrift store just for fun. I got Skipper this little shirt to wear when we watch Bama football this fall. It’s actually a baby shirt, but it looks just Skipper’s size.

After we perused the thrift store, we had lunch at Rusty’s Barbecue next door. If you ever have occasion to be in or near Leeds, Alabama, I recommend you give Rusty’s a try. Some of the best BBQ in the land (pork, beef, chicken, ribs). They also have scrumptious vegetables. I always get their fried okra.

Now I’m back home on the couch with Skipper. He’s napping and I’m about to do some reading. Happy weekend to all.

I'm so sorry you're enduring so much pain and hope those patches did you a world of good after a while. There is always moving to a state where cannabis is legal and go that route. There are so many strains that help this and that, surely there is one that relieves your type pain. Hope somehow you're feeling better today.

Love the Bama shirt you found for Skipper to wear during games. Roll Tide!

Big hugs!

Where do you get the patches you mentioned. My friend has much back pain! Thanks!
The dinosaur quilt will be a wonderful gift!

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...
