Maggiemay ! You're going to be in my town and you did not arrange a meet!! Well!!!!! At least you are hitting the outlets on a weekday. Those of us who live here know better than to go over there on a weekend!!!!! One of these days if you are up here again (or if you have some time tomorrow) we can meet for coffee or tea or something!
Today I am going grocery shopping at the base with my two daughters and my granddaughter. We will have to take 2 cars with the baby. I go out there every 3-4 weeks. I find that I save a lot of money shopping for groceries on the base. DD#1, mother of Naomi, is in the reserves. DD#3 does not have a military ID any more and we only let her go with us occasionally. Her husband works for the Navy as an Engineer but is not in the Navy.
I imagine that my Foot will be killing me by the time I get home.
Yesterday I was quilting a quilt that is a wedding gift for the 31'st. Unfortunately I got part of the backing folded up into the quilting. It was along the edge and I stupidly cut it close to the stitching thinking I could pull out the threads easier than the decorative stitching. Well, now I have a cut and a small hole in the backing that I somehow need to fix. I put it off for this afternoon cause I was so mad at myself last night for doing something so stupid. I will probably still have to take out the decorative stitching. It's about 10" worth, but now I have to patch the backing!
