I've put together a batch of things to get at Amazon for my birthday including some quilting themed t-shirts, thread and machine needles but no fabric!
I was working on my postcard quilt over the virtual quilting weekend and had a really rough time seeing the black fabric or more exactly I press open and I could not see the seam allowance on the back at all. I was also using black thread, should have switched to grey. Had to go outside to line up the seams when I was putting the rows together. Didn't have any problems with any of the other colors but I don't remember having such issues before -- I've always enjoyed using black as a neutral. My vision stuff issues are hard to describe but basically I'm losing my ability to focus up close as well as tremendous distance vision loss.
No grandbaby yet, if he comes tomorrow we will share birthdays! LOL, I'd love that but I think my daughter in law would rather not
The year I was born it was Labor Day, and since I always had a holiday close enough to my birthday, I just would celebrate on the weekend so hubby and I went out to lunch on Monday. It was interesting, I had seen something like it on the Food Network or Travel Channel -- I think it was Andrew Zimmern in Vegas but off the strip. Anyway, it was a hot pot restaurant with a conveyor belt. I've had hot pot before as a family meal, but here it is designed for individuals and you sit at counters that have a built in place for your soup pot. There are a couple of booths as well. Then you choose the type of broth you'd like, and there is a little conveyor belt that goes buy with little color coded plates with items to put in the broth like meat, mushrooms, vegetables, noodles, etc. Your total is made by the color of your plates, sort of like dim sum.

It was not cheap and it was rather loud, more of a cafeteria setting than fine dining but it was fun. The neat thing is that they have vegan options and so it is a place that my keto hubby, my basic high protein/low carb, and my son and DDiL vegan eating styles can all be satisfied.
