What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning I had to get a few more things done before going to moms. First on the list was cleaning up the kitchen and kitty litter. Then it was going on the computer and getting things worked out for QOV. I had to print out some labels, send reimbursement forms, and send a tax form. I spent 2 hours on the computer getting things going for QOV. Called Nancy to see about the 4th. We are doing 4 veterans. Once all that was done, I vacuumed and loaded the car. Mom called to say the vet called to say ...

This morning I heard Patrick leave early for more blood tests. I got up and showered to find he was back already. 

He headed to golf and I headed to moms. We planned to find a Hawaiian pattern for Bob who is our physical therapist. Mom thought it was out in the garage....NOPE. We ended up cleaning out 2 tubs of stuff. Fabric and other stuff. I brought home 2 rulers that she wasn't needing. I think one of them was mine anyway. We then went into the spare bedroom closet and there were photos of my 2nd ...

 Another day done. Hard to believe how fast things go, and at other times how slow it goes. Today was a little of both. There were times it seemed slow, other times like the time flew by. Go figure. 

Woke up to more snow. 

More snow all over. 

 This morning I was up and moving. I looked out the window and there was SNOW! Love the stuff! We had a small amount yesterday, but this morning there was a good inch or two. 

We got moving on putting more stuff away. Getting rid of stuff. Getting laundry going....oops, behind on that. 

Then I had to get my water bills out. I'm still working on that. It took all afternoon to get my books up to date. I boxed up stuff that was over 7 years old. I now have a "current" and "old" box for the ...

 This morning I slept in - really slept in! I must have slept a good 10 to 11 hours. It felt good, but about 3 pm I wanted to take a nap! I would have if the neighbor hadn't showed up. lol 

We didn't do much today. I played a game - that one that challenges on the weekend. I did work on laundry since I had some from the trip and what we left behind. Sophie was glad we were back and she wanted to make sure we knew she was there. I sat with her most of the ...

 Sorry. Saturday I had nothing to show. Sunday (yesterday) was cleaning the house. We were getting ready to have a clean house to come home to. Can you believe I actually put my stuff away?! No worries,  I will pull them out when I get back. 

Bowling was last night. What an awful night of bowling! We did get 2 games. My awful games were 138, 158, and 135. So much for a high average. I beat Patrick on the first one, then he kicked my butt.

Right after we headed down to Portland to send the night at the ...

 This morning I really didn't want to get up, but I did. Today is the day to honor those who have passed. That would be my dad, my great Uncle, and my great great grandfather, Among others. 

We didn't have anything planned for today, so Patrick worked out in the yard and I beaded. 

I was able to get another 4 rows done. It's coming along great. I'm getting closer to that last 100 rows. 

I took a walk around the yard to see what we have out there. 

We have some really pretty flowers out ...

 Today I woke up coughing. So, I was up and ready to go. Played games till Patrick got up. 

I got to work on the laundry again. Then I taught I would work on my beading. About that time mom called and while I was chatting with her, I saw the Rhodes in the front yard. 

All the Rhodes are really full this year. I love the purple ones on the side of the house and will take a photo of that one later. It's just starting to bloom. This one is always one of the first ones in ...

 This morning I was up and ready to go out for breakfast like I have done the last 2 years. This year, Starbuck only had a free drink or food for my Birthday. In the past it was both a drink and a sandwich. So, I decided to have breakfast at home. 

We stopped and got my drink on the way to get some flowers outside of Mossyrock. I picked up Patrick's drink and mine in the pouring rain. He was getting gas. They messed up my order, so I had to wait a little longer then usual. 

 This morning I woke with a headache. I started out with getting a coke and drinking coke all day to help kill the headache. It works for me. I usually don't drink coke unless we go out to eat. 

So, here's my list - 

Did I want to work on my beading? - No not interested. 

Did I want to work on my quilt? - No not interested.

Did I want to play on the computer for a new beading pattern? - Nope, not interested.

Did I want to clean house? - Nope not even. 

Did I want to go downstairs and sew ...

 This morning I was playing a few games before getting moving. 

When I did get moving, Patrick wanted to go for a walk to the golf course. I joined him. We chatted along the way. It was a nice walk. I've started to walk with him when I can. Yesterday he went walking while I was at moms. 

I worked on my new computer after Patrick got it all set up for me. He's organized my files, and I like it. I didn't like have duplicate stuff. This way all my documents are on a file on ...

 Before I start blogging, I wanted to thank everyone who sent their best wishes and prayers. Patrick is doing great. He's been walking around the hospital. The nurses and doctors are amazed at how he's been feeling and looking. I talked to him twice today. 

The morning started out with texts. I got up and played a few games before sitting down for beading. I didn't get far with my phone going off - been doing that yesterday and today. No peace when it comes to the phone. 

I wasn't really in the mood to do that ...

This morning we were out the door by 4:15 am. We all piled into the van and headed to UW Cancer Care Alliance. Patrick arrived at the hospital for his check in. We couldn't go in. Family and friends are not allowed due to Corona Virus. We all hugged him and wished him well. I walked him to the door and then turned back to the van. 

Katt, Susan and I headed to breakfast. The plan was to stay in the area to make sure he was okay during and after surgery. We headed to the closest I-Hop ...

 The last 2 days have been busy and interesting. Saturday we spent the day with Katt and Susan. Katt arrived from Lewiston about 10 am. We drove down to Portland to pick up Susan who wore a "poop" blow up costume. We laughed and enjoyed the day. Playing games and not doing much other than that. 

Yesterday we left at 6 am for Seattle. Patrick had appointments a Cancer Care Alliance that took all day long. He met his doctors and he was able to get his MRI and Covid test. 

While he was in his appointments, we took a ...

Today I was up and out the door before mom was up. Stopped and got us some Chai tea at Starbucks. 

Arrived around 9:45 am. Shortly after I arrived Nancy showed up too. We all worked on the block for Ethel. It's a 5" block that is appliqued. 

When we stopped to have lunch we saw a deer at the neighbors house. It thought it was so funny ...

 Today is Memorial Day. 

It was our BE meeting day. I arrived and found Bev sitting in her car. She arrived just before me. I opened up the Grange, and then we got set up. Sandy (II) came shortly after. We had a really good meeting. Missed the other, but they should be there next time. 

I worked on cleaning up the back and then worked on the flowers at the top. I'm going to work on this and get it back to Cheryl. I want her to have something she worked on done. 

We went out to check ...

 This morning I got a few things together to go to moms. I dropped off fabric and tomatoes for Georgie. I actually called her but she was already gone for the day. Told her to go to moms for the fabric and tomatoes. 

As I was leaving the house, I saw the flowers looking awesome!

Arrived before everyone else. I put my stuff done in the chair where dad used to sit. Then Ann showed up and I was scooted out of ...

This morning I was up and started beading. I couldn't play on the computer or tablet because it's Sunday and that's the agreement we had for one day a week off line.

I listened to my audio book and beaded. It was awesome.

This morning I was up and getting ready for Sandy to come over. We had planned to do out beading again. She arrived and I gave her a lot of stuff I had for her, plus some chocolates from Escanaba. 

This morning I was up and played for about an hour. Patrick left to go see his friends from work. They meet for coffee now that they are all retired. He said there were 4 of them today. When they first started out it was either 2 or 3 of them. Guess one more retired as well. The City of Chehalis is in trouble with all these guys retiring. Plus with the Corona-virus going on, they don't have the money to hire right now.

While he was gone, I enjoyed listening to my book and working on my beading ...
