Here is one for MJP. One is the picture where I was putting on the border and realized I had stripes going two ways. A no-go for me. Jack and I had a ripping date. Needless to say, ripping out 22 stitches per inch stinks, but got the job done.

As my grandmother would say, “never a dull moment”.

Still without internet. Boo. Using the hospital’s great location to get it. Hope everyone is well.

Good grief Janice, if it’s not one thing it’s another. Hope he can get into a cardiologist immediately

Our 30 year old grandson signed himself into a alcohol treatment center for 30 days. Shocking news but hoping he hit rock bottom and will fight for his recovery. For those who believe in prayer please pray for Tyler

Terri - I am praying that after the 30 days he will have a support group and new set of friends
Janice - Thankful that the hospital was open for your visit and that the specialist will find the reason. (perhaps he needs a puppy?)

I have been so enjoying on working on blocks - anything but clean and unload the motorhome. It is finally under 90 for the first day since we arrived!
Here is one for cheesehead and a mummy for IBex

Janice yes I love the idea of a new family member

Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers for Tyler. I love that young man and very proud of him for admitting he desperately needs help. Unfortunately alcoholism runs deep on both sides of his extended family.

Went to a local craft fair today and so many great items. I did pick up a few things for Christmas. I am way past the stage of saying "I could make that" - its just easier to buy it!!

Ibex - Thank you so much for your words of wisdom and calm. People need to rely on one another. Rumors and disinformation do no one any good. Yes, policies may need to change. IMHO, politicians are forgetting their responsibilities to the people they represent. As you pointed out, Congress holds the purse strings. Congress writes and/or directs the policies. We as citizens need to hold our representatives accountable. Please, this election and every election, PLEASE VOTE!

Now - off my soapbox.

TravelingGrandma - I hope you like this block for your quilt. Thank you so much for my birdhouse. It's lovely.
Reba - Here's a couple of Bazinga blocks for you.
Terri and Janice - prayers and hugs all around.
WMUTeach - you are a good friend to handle those final details.
