Another Week Begins

Pillow

I really didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. But Skipper insisted that I feed him and let him out, so up I got. When I awoke, I was uncharacteristically pain free. I wanted to just lie there and enjoy the rare condition.

I’m still feeling pretty good. Have to go to the grocery store. I’m going to make a pot of beef stew, and I don’t have any stew meat. After all that is done, I plan to work on my millefiori quilt. 

I worked on Joanne’s Pyramids on Friday while the Merry Maids were here. I discovered that she had cut out only about half of the triangles needed to make the quilt. So I started cutting out triangles. Still don’t have enough--but I have plenty of fabric that matches what she was using--autumn colors and prints.

SPOILER ALERT

Over the weekend, I watched a lot of tv. Binged on the new last season of Netflix’s “The Ranch.” I was positive, until the last minute, that the character of Rooster would return. He was presumed dead after a motorcycle accident in season 6, but his body was never found. This plot twist was written in because the actor, Danny Masterson, who played Rooster was accused of rape. I won’t get into that as I have no clue what the true of that is. I just know Rooster was the best thing about that series. It was never as good after he left.

But the final season did not see a Rooster return, at least not in body. He did show up in the voice of “Siri,” trying to talk his brother Colt out of freezing to death when he’s trapped outside in sub-zero weather. But, of course, Siri didn’t sound like Rooster at all. She never once uttered the phrase “badass.”

That embroidery is absolutely beautiful. I didn't read about the Ranch because I thought I might want to watch it. lol

Your embroidered pillowcase is lovely and says it all about Monday is the day to change the sheets!

Haven't seen even a minute of The Ranch so have no frame of reference.

Hope you remained pain free even after that trip to the grocery store for stew meat.

Be careful not to get bitten by a Lone Star tick as it may mean you (like me) can no longer digest beef. What a bummer! I miss pot roast, beef stew, and hamburgers SO much.

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...
