What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Today, I had a ton of stuff that needed to be done. Patrick went golfing. So, I got up and headed to the Department of Licensing for a new Driver's License. I got there with 2 people already at the desk. I used the computer to sign in. As soon as I was done with that (it said it would be about 10 minutes), the gal called me over. I looked around and said, "me?" She said, "You're the only one here." Too funny, was thinking, "Here's your sign!" I got up there, gave her all my ...

I was up early today. I wanted to go to the Driver's License department to get my license renewed. So, I was up and out the door by 8:45 am. When I arrived, it was closed. Sign said it was closed on Mondays, but open at 8:30 am Tuesday to Saturday. Guess I will go later in the week. 

Then I went to get a tea for myself. They didn't get it extra hot, so made another one. Told them I would pay for the other one, as mom was 90 years old and love chai ...

This morning, we did the usual cleaning before heading to the casino. I had to run the Roomba down the hall. I was going to run it just before we got home but forgot. May run it in the morning. 

We headed to the casino. The pans that they gave out are well worth going to pick up. This coming month has cleaning stuff, and we are not interested in those. So, we will move to Wednesdays for casino days. We had an awesome time! I won $856 on the Mega Bonus. I was shocked but it was fun! We ...

This morning, we headed to Olympia for both of us to get our blood drawn. I got one back already but haven't seen the others yet. 

After that, we went to a doughnut shop in Lacey. It was pretty good. I needed something to eat after waiting about 15 hours of fasting. 

Came home and then I walked around the neighborhood. I was able to get 6 laps in, but the last one wasn't as easy as it used to be. I enjoyed listening to my book on tape. It was a good walk. 

Then I sat and ...

 This morning, I was sleeping in. I had gone to bed early last night. I must have slept a good 10 hours. It isn't my norm. 

When I got up, I got laundry going and then came into the computer room to work on a few things. I had to send a letter to a veteran to see if he was still interested in getting his quilt. Then I had to rework the application form as well as our Help Needed flyer. 

Then I sat and played my game for a bit. Patrick was home after getting soaked golfing ...

This morning, I was up and had to get ready to head out before my war game challenge. I had a few things to do today. 

First stop was to the church to pick up a quilt we gave them and one that Linda Nelson did for us. She does such beautiful quilts for us. 

It's a little short but it's awesome! I love this quilt!

Then I went to Safeway to get a few things. Stopped to say hi to Phillip. 

With all that done, I was ready to come back home. I really didn't want ...

This morning, Colleen came over to help me get ready for tomorrow. We wanted to have stuff ready to start right away, rather than waiting until they arrived. 

This morning, it was BE day. I didn't do any BE work. Instead, I help mom by taking out the stitches on the anniversary quilt. 

It was the one I did. 

This morning, we cleaned and headed to the casino. Mainly to get our gifts. Patrick had to add money on his card to get the gift. But we did. While we were playing together, a guy came up and asked if he could play on my machine. I told him sure and moved over. He stood there waiting on me. I said, "go ahead." He said, "I want to sit down and play," pointing at my chair. I ignored him.  He walked off in a huff. Patrick and I play together and get have been tired of players coming to ...

All day I tried to win in my game on the tablet. In other words, I wasted the day by doing nothing!

Debbie picked me up around 6 pm and we went to the Lewis County Pageant. We were there to support 2 of the gals that Debbie knows. They had Lewis County and Lewis County Teen pageants. So, it took a good 3 1/2 hours! The good part is that the gals we were there for won Miss Lewis County and runner up Miss Lewis County Teen. It was a long process, but it was interesting. I think ...

I almost said "another Saturday" just because it feels like it. 

We started the day out by going to the casino. We played for a while and waited till 2 pm to get our gifts. Patrick had to play on his card and get more points in order to get the gift. It's a Bissell Steam cleaner. Not sure if it's a good one or not. But we ended up with 2 of them. The pot/pan is Sunday. So, yes, we are heading back over there on Sunday. 

We got home around 3:30 pm which surprised ...

Today we had our presentation. Brother Patrick and Christine came to visit beforehand. Then we met up with them later.  

We had 9 scheduled, one didn't show, but one did that I told to be there and thought he was on the list. So, we were back to 9. We had a couple quilts on the side just in case we needed them. But when we were going to put them away, there was only one. I'm not sure, but I think something happened to one of our quilts. I can't say and I may be wrong ...

This morning, Patrick and I slept in. I went downstairs to get the fireplace going so I could work down there getting stuff ready for the sew days next week.

I played my games for a bit, then I headed downstairs to work on the purple I needed to finish the wreath. Once I had those cut, I started working on the pillowcases that we are going to try and sell at the Bazaar. I just hope we can sell them. 

This morning, I was running late. I picked up some tea for both of us. Mom was happy with that. I took in my grab bag for when I am at doctor appointments. I took our quilt with the bear and gave it to mom. We worked on what to quilt around the border. She wants to put it in the quilt show come September. We worked it out, and she's going to get it ready to quilt after she's finished with the veggie cats quilt. It's really cute!

Then we sat and I crocheted while she ...

This morning, we cleaned house and then left for the casino. We are going on Sunday to get the free gift of pots and pans. The pan we got last week is really nice and works great. We can use it and I do. Today we got a Dutch oven with lid. So, I'm looking forward to seeing how long these last. 

We played our usual games. But that wasn't working out. So, we went back to the game we played last week that we really liked. Right off the bat, Patrick won $862. So, we stayed and ...

This morning, I was ready for our meeting. I had to vacuum downstairs so we could have a clean area to have the meeting. I usually don't do much down there. I can be lazy about vacuuming and dusting downstairs. 

Our meeting went well. I have a few things I have to do and get answers back to the people working on the projects. I also have to get moving on the wreaths they want for the Bazaar. Not what I'm happy about, but the group wants to do this. I passed out some wire wreaths for them ...

This morning, Patrick was up before me. He was sitting in the living room. I thought he was going golfing but remembered he said he had to go to Olympia instead for blood work. 

He left and I went downstairs to get to work on the wreath scraps to work on the wreaths. Cutting takes the longest on this. 

I was able to cut some but not near what we need. It's going to be interesting how we get all this done. I will try, but dang! 

Plus, I need to spend time on the computer doing research for ...

Nice day! I was able to sleep in but didn't. Patrick went golfing. That game me the morning to myself. I actually sat and watched "Virgin River" on Netflix. I did notice that some of the stuff in the books are different. But it is pretty close to the books. 

Patrick got home and I went for my walk. I got a call before I went out from my Gastro team in Olympia. My doctor wants me to be on the care end. A nurse or PA will call me once a month and see how I am doing ...

Today we were heading to Olympia for Patrick's MRI and CAT scans. It's the three-month journey.  It was a cool day but a pretty day. He had his scans and while he was in there, I crocheted. I started the next set of leg warmers. I got about 3" done. I also played on my phone. 

We did the usual cleaning this morning. Got a lot done and then headed out to the casino. We arrived around 11 am. 

I checked our cards and this time we both got the free gifts. It's a Hex fry pan. I like them and hope they are as good as they look, but who knows. We have gotten cheap crap from them before. We played for a good 4 hours. We didn't lose all our money. We got ahead the last hour and about that time I was tired of playing. I think Patrick was too. So ...
