Good morning, my friends. After writing yesterday's post, I was asking myself if I could get all the sewing finished that I was hoping to finish in a single day. It seemed like a tall order. There was still a little over an hour remaining before I needed to get ready to leave the house. Then, duh, it occurred to me that I could give up my slow-stitching for a single morning and spend that time at the sewing machine. And I'm a quick study when I suddenly toss off my single-mindedness, so that's exactly what I ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a productive day sewing-wise...grocery-wise too, if you want to get right down to it. Before we left to do our grocery shopping, I had some time to take the first stitches on the second block for Le Jardin.

Good morning, my friends. Two weeks from today...D-Day. Time is really growing short now, and my focus is shifting from sewing to packing. My packing list is borrowed from previous trips, but I add and discard things on the list as I think of them. In another week, we'll start packing in earnest. 

Mike has been checking everything on the camper to make sure we start our journey with everything in working order. He discovered the water heater had some problem...fixed already. That's Mike. Aside from that, things seem to be working properly. He's going ...

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to Monday. I hope y'all are getting your minds right for the traveling we're about to do. We leave two weeks from tomorrow. Yesterday, I started making my list. I expect to be adding items as I think of them, but I'm off to a good start for now. 

Tomorrow is a grocery shopping day, and my thoughts have turned to what we can bring with us when we cross the border. Also, we'll cross the border into Canada one day, but then we'll cross back into the USA ...

Good morning, my friends, and Happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate. We've had our morning pancakes already, and there are leftovers for dinner. I'm going to enjoy the rest of my day, "rest" being the operative word in that sentence. 

It was a very nice day yesterday. We had dinner with Erik and Mae to celebrate birthdays and mother's day. It was an enjoyable evening. I snapped this picture of a Bristly Locust tree growing in front of their house.

Good morning, my friends. It was a pretty easy-going day yesterday. When I started my walk on the treadmill yesterday, I was thinking I had one more walk left to finish off the documentary I was watching, Ken Burns' "The West." When I reached the end of Episode 7, it continued on to Episode 8! What?!? Okay, so I guess I'm not done yet. It'll encourage me to keep walking, I guess. It would be good to finish it before we leave.

So let's talk about what else is going on. I took the first stitches on ...

Good morning, my friends. It's another day of beautiful weather here at the Three Cats Ranch. We're expecting good weather through the weekend, and it has been whole-heartedly welcome by us rain-drenched Oregonians. When I finished my slow-stitching yesterday, I took a walk around the house to see what's new.

A squirrel was there to welcome me. S/he looks as if s/he's cold. 

Smitty accompanied me on my walk. He checked for any buds on the poppies ...

Good morning, my friends, and thank goodness it's Friday! I'm getting my hair cut today, and there's just one other item on my list of to-do's. Aside from that, it'll be a mostly sewing day. We're going to see some nice weather over the next couple of days...always appreciated when I need to drive into town for any reason.

When I left you yesterday, Smitty was just settling in for a morning nap.

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to Thursday. There's not much on my agenda this morning. Just one housekeeping chore. The weather was looking promising a little while ago. Now, it's clouded over again. If the sun comes back, I might get out for a walk. There are lots of blooming things in the neighborhood just now.

There was plenty of time for sewing yesterday. I quilted the second side of the border for Jericho Walls.

Good morning, my friends. It's a red letter day at the Three Cats Ranch. Please join me in wishing a very happy 41st birthday to this handsome young man.
