What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Today, I wanted to get moving more on the ornaments. I also needed to get some laundry done, but I only had time for two loads. I did clean a few things that we always do on Sundays. 

Then it was 1:00 pm and I needed to get out the door. We thought we would be giving out a quilt at the WWII dinner. It was an awesome presentation! But, nope, we didn't have someone to give the quilt ...

Patrick didn't go golfing today. So, it was nice to sleep till 8 am. 

Got up and then tried to get ready to go do what I needed to today. I left the house around 9:30 am. First to Safeway, then to moms. I stayed about an hour with mom. Put out her wreath on the door. Then put her supplies away that she bought from Costco. Once all that was done, I picked up one quilt from mom. 

Next stop was Colleens, and I spend about another hour there. We chatted a while. She gave me two ...

I wanted to sleep in, but Patrick was already up. He doesn't sleep in much anymore. Dang.  

I was up and getting ready to leave for the casino. It turned out to be a short day at the casino. We played off the money they gave us for the week. I won a $750 jackpot. Then we played with that money. We ended up leaving and bringing $100 home. It just wasn't his day, and it wasn't very lucky for us. We'd win big and then it took it all. When we changed machines, they weren ...

This morning, I waited till about 10:45 am to get moving. I didn't realize till after I left that I was an hour earlier than I wanted to be. I got the times messed up. My first stop was at Safeway for the nicotine patch; to find out they didn't carry them. Then I stopped at CVS and was able to get the correct patch that mom needed. Next on the list was the museum. I needed up waiting for a while to see if Chip could answer a couple questions for me. Yes, we will have ...

Today, I was up early to make the phone call to the doctors to get mom in. I ended up leaving a message and waiting. I waited a good 45 minutes and decided to go over and see about making it in person. As I was headed to the bank, I received the call. We had an appointment at 1:45 pm. Yet, I was on my way at 9:00 am. Which left me with 3 hours of waiting.......and waiting. ....

I got to moms and she looked good. I told her of the appointment, and I let my ...

Today, I slept for a bit, just didn't want to get up, so I laid there awhile. It's interesting how I don't want to get out of bed but when I do, I feel better. 

I got moving on the laundry but that didn't go far today. I got on the computer and set up a new email for my QOV group. I was getting tired of trying to figure out what was personal and what was QOV. This way, I have it all in one place. I sent out 20 emails to let veterans know ...

 Today we were taking it slow. We had to leave by noon to Vancouver. We actually got moving around 11:30 am. 

The traffic wasn't bad. It could have been worse. We didn't see a lot of trucks out there. So, I think that helped the traffic a bit. 

We arrived around 12:30 pm. They were getting things ready. Had a few things in the oven warming. My brother smoked the turkey, and it was resting. Mom didn't look good at all. We were told she was coughing up blood. Nate told her to take it ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing. About the time he got home, I was heading out to the museum and then my physical therapist appointment. 

Met Debbie at the museum and we put the quilts that are done in the stacks. We found 2 of our quilts in the wrong spot. So, we need to let everyone know not to mess with the quilts there. Sam said she would pay attention if she sees a quilt go out of the storage room.  They were giving out turkey's to the veterans that could need one. I called Patrick to let him ...

We did the usual Sunday cleaning. Then we headed to the casino. We go the 8x8 electric fry pan. I don't know if I could use it and may ask Katt if she wants it. I was hoping for the crock pot, but that was the one I missed. lol 

We did pretty good but didn't stay as long as before. We weren't as lucky today as the last 2 times. 

Stopped at Arby's for supper. We hadn't been there in probably over a year. He wanted to go to see if the salt was ...

 This morning, I overslept a bit. I headed out and had to stop at Safeway. Then I was on my way to moms. I stopped to get a tea from Dutch Brothers. As I was crossing over the bridge, the police and fire truck were headed to I-5. I guess if I was about 10 minutes earlier and on my usual way to mom, I could have been in it or saw the accident. I'm thankful my plans were different. 

When I arrived, someone took my parking spot - no big deal. They have been doing that lately. So, luckily ...

This morning, Patrick left for golfing, and I slept a little longer.  When I did get up, I decided to get the laundry done. It's been a while since I have done it. At least it wasn't that bad. 

While I was working on the laundry and cleaning up the kitchen, I was playing my game. I was able to get myself up in the 300's for the challenge. Trouble is, it's going on for another 3 days. I just want to be up there for the prizes. 

Then I decided I could do both, so ...

This morning, I had to get moving. Was at moms by 9:20 am. We then headed up to Olympia. She needed to have her hearing aids checked. She was having trouble and wanted to get them check. We arrived at Costco, and they took her hearing aids to clean them and then check them. There was a lot of "stuff" in the hearing aids, so it just needed cleaned. We shopped while we waited. I needed to pick up a few things that we missed last week. Both mom and I found some crab!! So, we bought 2 containers ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing. Since our BE group is not available, we didn't have our meeting. 

I ended up getting the 2 quilts ready for Wednesday. We have our potluck sew days on Wednesday. Which means I needed to be ready with the quilt cut and ready to sew. 

 I was ready for Debbie to come pick me up. She wanted me to go with her to Gee Gee's Quilt shop in Yelm. 

She arrived at 10 am and we headed out. Stopped to get a tea/coffee and then off to Yelm. We arrived with the parking lot full. That surprised me. Debbie was looking for fabrics that would work in her memory quilt. She has a ton of photos and is making it for her daughter. I think it's good therapy for her to do this. We got a lot of different fabrics for it ...

Today, Patrick was up and out the door to the golf course. I got up to get out to the PT appointment. First, I needed to drop a deposit at the bank, then post office. I found out at the bank that my deposit was wrong and needed to go back. That had to wait till after PT. 

I got some money for Colleen to do the fabric sale tomorrow at the grange. Hopefully we can make some good money. It's all the holiday fabrics that we have. Trouble is, we are in the kitchen area, so hope people ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing. I cleaned up a few things today. I had the vacuum out and going. Then I sat down to play my games. 

Patrick got home and about an hour later, the guy came out to fix the fireplace. It's about 15 years old. It will need to be replaced in a couple years. I told Patrick I would rather replace it now then then. He said he wanted to wait. Told him I disagreed but said ok. He then reminded me they go on sale in the summertime, and we can look into them ...

This morning, I enjoyed sleeping in a bit. Not a lot but a bit. 

Yesterday was a long day with traveling in the airplane and airports. It's not my favorite thing to do, but it went really well. We did have to be de-iced before we left Louisville, because it was starting to snow. Then we waited a bit before we could take off. We were about 30 minutes late. Once we were on our way, it was nice. 

We arrived at DFW airport. OMG! That place is worse than any airport I have been in. I thought Houston ...

 For some reason, I don't think of blogging when I am on vacation.  We really aren't that busy, but we are enjoying our trip. 

Yesterday we went shopping and to the chocolate factory. The chocolate factory had a deal going because it was their anniversary.  It has been going for over 110 years. The candy is really good, even better than the Escanaba candy's, I am bringing some home.

They were dressed up as well. They had a gal looking like Lucy, and a gentleman looking like Dezi. It was crowded and fun. Since my tablet isn ...

This morning, I was getting things ready for our trip. Then I played some games on my tablet. 

We left by 1 pm because we needed to get gas and be in Olympia around 2 pm. Our appointment was till 3 pm but Patrick needed to get up there early for his blood tests. We got gas, and just as we entered Tumwater/Olympia area, it was stop and go. There was an accident that happened at 12:14 pm and traffic was touch and go. We didn't see any accident - thinking it was cleared up. Took us about ...

This morning, I was up and out the door for my PT appointment. I arrived on time. Bob and I talked about how things are going. The good news is that I think the new shoes and the slippers are working for now. I'm slowly getting there. I need to wear my brace when I travel on Thursday though. 

Stopped at moms and gave her the binding I had. Told her it goes with one of the quilts that went to be quilted. She was working on a variation nine patch quilt top. It really looks good. 

Came home ...
