It's a chilly morning out there, my friends. Very cold weather is on its way. So far, it's very pretty. We had a nice view of the mountains with a pink-tinged sky.

To quote a phrase, "It was a dark and stormy night." And that was our day yesterday. It rained hard most of the day. The kitties spent their time snuggled up in their quilts. Smitty paused to knead his quilt back into submission as I was taking his picture.

Good morning, my blogging friends! I'm happy to say that our internet is back up and running. An old, deteriorated cable was to blame for our troubles. And so I'm seated at my desk this morning. I've been working from a laptop for so long, the big screen of my desktop computer seemed impossibly large. Our grocery shopping is done and all the RV bedding, quilts, and towels are washed. Just our dirty clothes remain, and then I can safely say we're back to our usual routine.

It's good to be nearing the end of this hectic week. I had so many places to be, and then the roofers were here, making it all sort of stressful. Yesterday was the day for my monthly pedicure, which was very nice. Still, it meant driving to the salon and fighting traffic. I made two stops on the way home for convenience sake. Living a fair distance from anything, no trip into town is wasted on just one errand. By the time I got home, I was ready for a nice long nap. Mike headed into town in the ...

read moreIt's been a busy couple of days. Yesterday, I had just a few easy chores to do, but then I spent most of the day sewing...either by machine or by hand. The machine sewing was spent finishing off the top-stitching and machine embroidery for New Mexico Kitchen.

Well, if the day had been any busier yesterday, I'm afraid I might have been done in. Today will be much the same. Thursday I'll get a pedicure, which will be salve for the soul.
It started out easy enough. We hung the Summer Holiday quilt on the 2nd floor of the Mewseum. That makes three quilts on the second floor collection.

Yesterday's grocery shopping trip was quick. Our list was short, and we were home by around 10:15 a.m., which left me lots of time to finish up my quilting for the day. I even did some housework. (Polishes fingernails on shirt.) Time was short because Mike and I still needed to drive into downtown Portland.
So, I finished up the last of the chicken blocks. Yesterday's addition to the buffet:
Fried Chicken. This one took forever. I was about one-quarter of the way through it when I realized the quilt corner was folded under, and I ...

read moreWe had very warm weather yesterday. Toward the end of the afternoon, the temperature outside was 98°F., which is very hot for our hill. I can only imagine how people in the valley were suffering. We're expecting more hot weather today, but this morning's sunrise was beautiful. I can't recall seeing raking light from the clouds like this before.
