What a Week!

Below are photos from my quilt bee meeting on Monday, the first one in two years. Try to ignore the deer head that is looking on. The meeting was held at Doris's; she and her husband are game hunters. They have heads and other pieces of critters all over their house. I try not to judge.

Bee??

I've turned into a real homebody in the past few years. I prefer staying home as much as possible. But this week has not let me stay home much. Every day has brought some errand or appointment or club meeting.

Monday was Quilt Bee--the first time we've met in two years. First Covid put a stop to bee meetings. Then during the pandemic we just got out of the habit and had a hard time getting started again. I hope we continue with regular meetings (although I don't like going out). It sure was good to see everyone and catch up. 

Tuesday was Book Club--We met at the church. Members Nell and Hope provided a delicious lunch, after which we had a great discussion of our book, SPARE by Prince Harry. Everyone seems to have enjoyed the book and learned a few things, including some sad things, about the prince.

Wednesday was Grocery Shopping--Many times Jesse does this chore for me, but this time I felt like there were some things that I need to pick up myself.

Thursday Was Neurologist Appointment--for tests on my feet and legs to check out the neuropathy problem. Lots of electroshock and poking with needles. It really wasn't too terribly painful. Just sort of nerve wracking. First of all I had a heck of a time finding the office, which is located in one of Birmingham's massive medical complexes. I finally had to call the font desk and have them lead me. 

Today I have an appointment with my podiatrist--in just a short while, actually. I'm hoping she will be able to tell me something of the results from the neurology test.

So after today, I'm planning to lie on the sofa or in bed with Taco Cat and read. Maybe watch a movie or two. I hope I don't have to go anywhere else for a while. Oh yeah--there's church Sunday. Well maybe at least tomorrow will be free.

Note: I hope there aren't too many errors in this post. No time to check thoroughly. I have to go or I'll be late for my appointment.

Is it just me, or does it look like the deer is gazing approvingly at the quilts in the pictures? (Tee hee!) I guess everyone and everything enjoys a thing of beauty.

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...
