I still don't have a computer, so Vann is graciously allowing me to use his laptop to check e-mail and update the blog from time to time. I'm thinking of getting a Mac. Vann and I both worked on Macs before we retired. Does anyone out there have any thoughts about Mac vs. PC?
Monday was guild day. I was in charge of the program, which was on Cuddle Quilts. That's the name of our children's charity quilts. In the past, we have donated quilts (more than 200 in 2006) to shelters for abused and homeless women and children. This year, we're going to do something new called "Rescue Quilts." We'll be supplying quilts to police precincts. The officers will carry the quilts in plastic bags in the trunks of their cars. When they have to remove a child from a crime scene, abuse situation, etc., they will have a quilt to confort the child. This program is being conducted by a Birmingham high school student. She requested our help, and we gladly agreed.
Here's a picture of our 2007 Donation Quilt, "Stepping on Stars." Tickets are $1 or 6 for $5. The drawing will be held at our June quilt show. You don't have to be present to win.. Tickets, anyone?
Tuesday was bath day for Sophie. She's very good about taking a bath. She goes and gets in the tub by herself and doesn't try to jump out until we're finished bathing her. But after she's finished, she likes to run through the house, blow drying herself. She doesn't like to get toweled. Here's Vann and Sophie after yesterday's bath, toweling in progress.
I walked at the Walking Track Park yesterday. The cherry trees are in full bloom and they are so pretty. I took a few pictures--naturally.
Today was tax day--the day we go to see Doris to have our tax returned filed. Bad news again. We had to pay--a bunch. Here's Vann as we left Doris's office.
I worked on my March CPS Journal Quilt this morning while Linda cleaned the house. It is based on the history of the island of St. Martin in the French West Indies, one of the islands we visited while on our cruise in February. The island is divided between the Dutch and the French. It was divided peacefully, and the citizens lives peacefully. I'll show pics when it's finished.
Gotta go. Sophie is begging to be fed. I'll try to check in again tomorrow.

The cherry trees are so beautiful! As for Mac vs. PC, I wouldn't take anything for my Mac. Many fewer virus worries, for one thing, and it's just way easier to use. (I have a G4, Mac OSX, and a 115 gig HD.) John has a PC, and he's always having to do something to it.

The raffle quilt is really beautiful. You should sell lots of tickets easily.
And I second Anita's plug for the Mac.

So Sophie gets in the tub by herself? Hah! As soon as Riley hears the water running he goes and hides. But then he forgets what he's hiding for and eventually I just scoop him up.

Great pictures! As for the Mac vs.PC, DH always used a Mac but recently went to a PC because everything is so much cheaper to buy/upgrade. He still misses his Mac, though.
