What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 This morning, I really didn't do a thing. I did get my bread going. I wanted to try a couple things, which I did. 

I pretty much listened to my book on tape and played my games. I didn't feel like working on anything. I just wanted to waste the day away - which I did. 

I eventually got the bread going and cooked. I did a couple designs for rolls, but they didn't turn out right. I should have let those raise another time, but I was in a hurry for bread today. Plus, Patrick had his ...

Today, I just wanted to get things cleaned up and then I pretty much worked on my genealogy all morning and part of the afternoon. 

We went to Sandy's retirement party at the Olympic Club in Centralia. We went into a room I didn't know they had. lol It was fun. We chatted with friends and then came home after about an hour and a half. It was a 3-hour thing.  I did enjoy it. Patrick was chatting with Judy, who used to work with him. They were getting caught up on city friends. 

We always have fun ...

 Today was one of those days, had to be up for a zoom meeting with the state coordinator about QOV. That started at 10 am. Then after it was over, I got a few things done but came in here to work on genealogy again. 

After lunch, I went downstairs to get a binding done for the quilt that Debbie dropped off yesterday. Once I had the binding ready, I worked on the pillowcases that I need to do for Thursday. 

This morning, I was out of bed at 7 am to be up in Olympia by 9 am. I had an appointment with my Gastroenterologist. It was over the liver issue that popped up recently. What fun! While I was there, I asked my doctor about Patrick having a referral and not getting in yet. Told him about his surgery, and he said he would see what he could do for us. As I was leaving, waiting for a follow-up appointment, the gal came in with Patrick's appointment with my doctor. I was tickled to death! I really like ...

 After about 15 years of writing this blog, it is still hard to figure out what title to use. You would think after all this time, I would have some cute ones, but no such luck. 

I slept in for a bit. Not as much as I would have liked. Patrick's vac was driving me crazy all night. Now I understand how people who have the sleep apnea (sp) machine get into trouble with their spouses. That vac was going all night! Took me forever to get back to sleep when it woke me up. No fun. 

Patrick took ...

 This morning, I needed to get the laundry going and get the trash outside. Scott came by and put our trash cans out. Don't know why Patrick didn't think I could do that. I ended up taking trash out and recycling after he had taken it to the curb. Can't win. 

I worked on my family history and added another 100 names. I know I could have done more, but I'm more interested right now in the direct line. I actually worked on the WILDER and ENSIGN family names. Those are new to me. They are ...

 This morning, both Patrick and I tired. Patrick was on the couch when I got up. Played on the tablet and was falling asleep. So, he went to the bedroom, and I went on the couch. Neither one of us was up before 11 am. I had showered but just couldn't stay awake. Patrick wasn't feeling well, so he slept as well.

I had my game at 1 pm. Then we went downstairs to clean up my QOV room. 

I had him cut the batting and backing for 3 quilts. They are waiting for them to be washed ...

I am a day late on the Happy 4th, but we are all enjoying the weekend for it. 

 This morning, I slept in again. I'm surprised I'm sleeping so late. Patrick said I snored all night. lol Poor guy. Allergies are back. UGH

I got moving this morning. Didn't play games but did get a few things done before meeting Sandy at the British Tea shop in Centralia. We had lunch there. Talked a good 2 1/2 hours since we haven't seen each other in over 6 months. Please we talked about her heart issues that she's dealing with now. Also talked about everything under the sun. 

Came home around 2:30 ...

This morning, I was up early to get to play my war game. I was playing another part later in the day but decided I wasn't going to do it. So, I got out of it. I get tired of being killed off. lol 

I needed to get the kits ready for Colleen, since she was coming over to get them. Patrick suggested we work the bolts out of the pantry and put them out where I can get to them - let alone see them. So, we got it set up. 

 Today, I was up and ready for Val to come over. When she arrived, I was chatting with Debbie on the phone. We were working on Quilts of Valor stuff. Val won't be able to make it tomorrow. We'll see her next time. Our sew day is next week. 

I then got to work on the family history. I wanted to work on Patrick's family some more. I added about 200 names to the Wiltzius tree. We now have 4,600+ names to his tree. I have more to work on, and will probably try to do ...

 Today we slept in. I was surprised I could, since my hips were telling me otherwise. 

I had a few things to do on the computer. Next thing I know, I'm working on the family history. 

Interesting day. We were up early for Patrick's 9 am physical therapy appointment. I went to moms, but she was off to the church to give out food to the needy. I played on her computer till I needed to go back and pick him up. I had taken 3 quilts to her for labels but realized one label was on good enough, so I left it alone and brought it home. 

We then went to the casino. We played for about 3 hours but it wasn't hitting. We have been playing off the money we won a ...

This morning, we headed out to Safeway to pick up a few things. I remember being a checker and the gal we were in line for - WAS SLOW!! I would have gone through 4 people by the time she had one person done! She didn't seem to care either. We must have waited in line over 10 minutes for her to do the 2 people in front of us. When I was a cashier, if I saw people waiting in line, I picked up my checking speed. This gal was slow all the way. Not in any hurry to ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing. I got up about 30 mins after he left. Then I enjoyed sitting down and playing games. I even watched the documentary on Gene Wilder. It was interesting but only worked on his carrier and not on his childhood.  It was pretty good. Surprised me a couple times. I didn't watch all his movies, partly because it was too silly for me. I never understood why movies made silly movies that were way out in the field. It wasn't funny to me because I didn't understand the jokes sometimes. 

Then I pulled ...

This morning, I was up after Patrick left for his physical therapy appointment. I wanted to sleep in. 

When I did get up, I had a few things to do. I needed to get the veterans entered into the system to receive a quilt. I had 8 to do. Half of them went elsewhere. I sent a message to Cindy to let her know what was what. 

I was also able to get some genealogy done. I was going through the Elder family and found a couple that I was missing information on. I had to do all that before ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing and I got to work on cleaning up before I did anything else. I did stop and play my war game at 9, then back to cleaning. 

Before and after Patrick came home, I was working on the WILTZIUS family. I received a message from another family member and wanted some documents. So, I pulled out my file and started reviewing it. I made sure I didn't miss anything or get anything wrong. Then I scanned them and sent them on. He didn't want but one direct line, so I didn't have ...

This morning, Patrick was golfing, and I was home. It felt good to be home, but I had little time to do much since I slept in till almost 9 am. It really surprised me I slept that long. 

When I got up, I thought I had my war game but found out it wasn't for 4 more hours. So, I played for a bit and then got to work on a few things. I wanted to bead, but the table is picked up for now, so we can put another tablecloth down. I was hoping Patrick would do ...

Today, of all days, was hot and awful!

I decided to get my tail moving and get some quilts done for QOV. It's time I got moving again and finished a couple tops. So, I headed downstairs. Before I did, I called Debbie to talk over all that is going on with our group. I filled her in on a few things and we talked about Kristi being head of Mossyrock. We are not going to do anything about it, nor will I help her after what she put me through and then called me a liar. So, it ...

This morning, I went walking with Ron. He's slipping fast. I got mad at him when he was telling me about his middle son. I guess he's been showing up and taking over for him. He's not letting Ron have any say on what he wants. I told him he need to go to Vancouver to be with his oldest son who has the control. I'm afraid the middle son will have him sign something he shouldn't, and it will take away the control his older son has.  The middle son is a sneak and ...
