Sleeping Dog Lying

Skipl

This is what I found last night as I came out of the bathroom from brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed. That dog.

Sister Ramey and I went to in-person church yesterday for the first time in at least 16 months. We were the only ones there still wearing masks. But that's ok. This is the longest period of time in I don't know how long that I've gone without having either the flu or a bad case of bronchitis. Other than my usual battle with pain and fatigue, I haven't been sick a day (not even a headache) since I started wearing the mask. Somebody should have told me about masks a long time ago.

I haven't sewn any for several days now. I'm into laundry this morning, but I hope to get into the sewing room later. At least finish cutting out the next dinosaur, King Tyro Rex.

What a cute photo and what a nice snuggle buddy you have!!

I'm glad to hear that you've not been sick with the flu or bronchial bothers since wearing a mask. Wonder if that's true of lots of folks nationwide?

I'm sneaking up on finishing the donation 70"x90" quilt top that's going to Nancy who blogs "outside Philadelphia" and I hope to pack it up today and mail it tomorrow. Yippee!

Hugs!

I rarely comment, but love your blog. Completely agree on the mask wearing. I stopped wearing my mask once I was fully vaccinated, and wow, what a mistake. Like you, I was not sick a day when wearing one. I'm now fighting bronchitis. It is back to mask wearing for me, and I am not going to be deterred!

I think the use of masks is just about solely responsible for that steep drop in flu and other respiratory ailments over the past winter. I'm hoping that going forward seeing folks wearing masks will be an ordinary occurrence.

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...
