Soup Sunday

Creamy-chicken-and-wild-rice-soup5+srgb.

After Zoom church yesterday, I made a pot of creamy chicken and wild rice soup and a bowl of pasta salad. They were both yummy. I love soup this time of year.

This morning, I did Zoom quilt bee and nothing since. But I’m about to get up and warm up the leftover soup and have some lunch. 

Last night I watched “Great Lord Bird” on Showtime. We had read the book in my book club, so naturally I wanted to watch the series. After the first episode, I can say it’s even better than the book. It’s about abolitionist John Brown.

The weather is gorgeous here. I wish I could still take daily walks like I used to. I love to be out in the autumn weather. Jesse has started taking Skipper on walks since I can no longer do it. They’re both loving it.

Have a great week, everyone.

I may subscribe to Showtime next. I would like to see GLB.

That soup looks amazing.

The soup looks yummy! Is the recipe posted with your other recipes? Hope so!

It's also soup weather here as our daily high temperatures have been in the mid-60s*F to the mid-70s*F (except tomorrow when it's forecast to be 80*F) and the nighttimes are wonderfully chilly.

I'm on the binding for my 5 little Christmas Star quilts!!

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...
