What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 We were asked last night if we wanted to go to Vancouver, WA to have a BBQ at my brother Patrick's house. Mom and my brother's (Chris') family were going down. We told them we needed a break and wouldn't be going. 

So, I walked with Ron about 5 laps. Then I played on my tablet. 

Bryan called and we added a lot more names to the MATHESON side of the family. We went over all the names and I typed them in. I will work off what he gave me. We also added his grandfather to ...

This morning, we had to leave early for my pulmonary appointment. I had to do the breathing test, the walking test and then chat with the doctor. I'm staying about the same. I had to wait to see him because their medical computer program went down. I was telling Patrick that it would suck if they went down and couldn't get to the records. I know there are backups, but who knows. One really does need paper backups.  

I could eat after I left because of the CAT scans that I had to have done. It went fast ...

 Today was a quiet day. I actually enjoyed it. 

Ron and I went walking for 5 laps around the neighborhood. He wanted to go 7 but my leg couldn't handle that much. So, I told him a little at a time. 

Then I came in for Patrick to go to his coffee with the guys from work (now retired). They had a good chat. Found out the engineer that worked for the city had passed away at the age of 53. That's got to be hard on the family. After that, he went shopping for a few things ...

 We went to the casino today. It was funny, as we were sitting there, a gal came up and asked how we were doing. I looked for the voice but wasn't sure who they were asking. As I turned, she asked if I was Lynn. Yep, I'm Lynn. She chatted with me, gave me a complementary dinner voucher. I was surprised. Not sure why they wanted me. Then realized the money we have been using since November might explain it. lol I was grateful and surprised. So, when it was time to leave, Patrick decided we could just ...

Today I was in "limbo" over a few things. I was sorry to hear the Pope passed away today. I have always followed him, even though I was not Catholic. Patrick was, but doesn't consider himself that anymore. I have often wondered why he hasn't wanted to go back. He did when we visited his parents, but since then he hasn't been in the Catholic church. 

Oh, then I had to call and make an appointment for my "bladder, kidney" areas. Neurologist I believe.  Anyway, found out what they want me to do, and was a little ...

This morning, I was up and ready to get moving. I had plans to go walking, clean the kitty litter, clean the kitchen, and do laundry. At the same time work on my Christmas beading project. 

Well, Heck No! That wasn't what the universe had planned for me! Instead, I got laundry going. Then was ready to go clean the cat box when I got my phone call from my cousin. 

Which turned out to be 3 hours of genealogy time. MATHESON family is HUGE!! I must have entered 200 names with him on the phone. BUT WAIT! There ...

This morning, I was just cleaning up a bit. Not as much as I normally do. Patrick did more cleaning then I did. 

I decided to work on my genealogy this afternoon. In the morning, I played games, but decided I needed to work on my genealogy and fix what I had wrong. 

So, I started out with the MATHESON family. Fixing the Henry Matheson family since he was married twice and I had his wife having an "unknown" father to Henry's children. That had to be fixed and only took a couple minutes. I was having trouble downloading ...

This morning, I tried to sleep in. No such luck! 

Got up and played on my computer. Got to play a couple games. Then I went downstairs and tried to get more done on the quilt. 

 This morning, I was enjoying the morning. I knew I would be busy today, so just played on my tablet. 

Then I was off to Dutch Brothers for coffee. I got Debbie's coffee and my tea. Then head over to the museum. Since Debbie couldn't be there when I was, I had to do a lot of the work on my own. I asked the gals to change the tables for presentation and get the quilts ready. They folded them wrong, so asked them to fix it. Then thanked them for the work. That didn't seem to ...

Today was one of those days where I could get stuff done. I cleaned up first. Had to get laundry going and clean the kitty box. Then I headed downstairs. 

I pulled out fabrics for the patterns we have to make quilts for QOV. I needed larger pieces of fabric, but that's okay, I worked with what we had. Patrick came down and he helped me out. He pulled a lot of the fabrics to go with the patterns. 

 This morning, I had planned to work on quilt patterns and genealogy. Patrick said we could go to the movies at 2 pm, so I needed to get moving for the movies. 

I entered the information that Bryan sent to me this last week. I knew he would be calling me. 

I have probably entered about 50 to 100 names today. Filled in more information and then decided to get back on ancestry to get more documents to prove what I have. 

We the headed to the movies. We were watching "Snow White" and it was great! I loved the ...

This morning, I was up and enjoying the morning. Patrick was going out to work in the yard and I wanted to get some walking in. I walked 3 laps around the neighborhood and was chatting with Ron on the phone. Made his day when I told him I was only getting 3 laps in. 

Came in to have the house to myself while Patrick was outside. Then halfway through my show, my cousin called, and I ended up spending close to 2 hours with him on the phone. We worked on the family history. I was entering information while ...

This morning I was up early. Just relaxing pretty much all day. Patrick slept a couple hours longer than me.

This morning, I was running behind. I had to get moving for walking. We did 5 laps around the neighborhood but thought we did 6 till I realized I was counting wrong on my tees. We had stopped and chatted with Kevin Hubbert and thought we counted wrong. After I got home, I figured out we did. Oh, well. 

I spend the rest of the day till 4 pm working on family history. I was adding a few things on Findagrave. I was also putting obit information into my program. It was long but it needed to be done. I ...

Do you ever have a day when your ear is stuck to the phone? Well that's pretty much what my day was. One phone call after another First was Ron reminding me to walk at 11 am. 

Then it was mom talking about the photos I left behind. One of the photos was of our grandfather, Solon True and Sara Birge True. They were a lot younger, but we could tell. It was nice to see them. 

Then Connie called asking about how we are doing on the quilts. Presentation is Thursday, so I need to work on the ...

Today was another one of those days where I could sleep in if I wanted, but it didn't happen. Ron was volunteering at the food bank today, so we didn't go walking. Patrick and I walked instead. It's a good walk where we chat about stuff we don't normally chat about. 

After that I decided to pull out the box of genealogy stuff to organize it and get ready to enter information into the family tree. That took a couple hours as I needed to go through the photos as well. I had Patrick take the ...

 This morning I was up early. Patrick changed the sheets today instead of tomorrow because he wanted to get the new mattress heater on. We lost the heat on his side of the bed. He decided he wasn't going to wait for the fall to get another one since it's still cold at night. He was warming his feet on my side of the bed when we went to bed. It was getting comical. 

I was playing games and then decided I needed to work on my leaves for tomorrow's class. I got one started. At least ...

 Of course, Patrick wanted to go grocery shopping this morning. I wanted to get it done and over with so I could get on the computer to work on genealogy. We went shopping and, on the way, stopped to drop off some batting and backing for Linda Nelson to quilt the quilt she has for us. I had to cut that before we left. 

Patrick spent part of the day on the computer for moms' taxes. So, while he was on, I played games. Then it was time for me to get on. 

I wanted to get some of Bryan ...

 This morning I was up and got moving right away. I vacuumed the house, got laundry going and then took a break. I was still moving on washing and cleaning when Patrick arrived. He was off golfing. I was surprised I didn't even touch the tablet till after everything was done. Once Patrick got home, I walked my 7 laps. 

Came in and then sat to play for awhile. Then I remembered my list on the counter, and went to cancel my ancestry account. While I was at it, I wanted to move my Family Tree Maker to the ...

Okay, Patrick went golfing today. That was nice. Trouble was he didn't stay away long enough! lol 

I had to get a few things done for tomorrow. I'm working on getting the quilts labeled and ready to go. Then I had to get a backing and batting done for Connie. Once that was done, I put the quilts by the door to remember to take them. I have 2 quilts for mom to do the bindings on. Then I looked all over the place for the paper that I wrote our check list on. I texted Debbie and ...
