What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. Hopefully, everyone survived the weekend. It was pretty quiet here. All the tasks from last week are completed. Family has been fed and sent home. Rain has started up. So, it's pretty much business as usual from here on. We're getting our vaccines this morning, but aside from that, we'll be sticking close to home for the next several months. There's going to be plenty of time for sewing.

My morning started with baking some muffins for our breakfast. For years, I cooked a traditional morning breakfast...eggs, some kind of breakfast ...

Oh my goodness -- I was misting up when I read Elle's comments this morning. It's funny how our parents can teach us things in different ways. 

Both her parents died young, yet it sounds like they had some great times in their lives. But by chatting with them, you learn things. 

My parents are both still alive, and I have learned so much from them by what they do, but in some cases, I learned what NOT TO DO by what they are doing. I hope that makes sense. 

I think one of the most important things that ...

OH, Elle just proposed something unheard of and HARD. She suggested that I do NOT refill the Visual To-Do list until ALL the things on it are done! ACK!!!!! While I think she is right, it would FORCE me to face some projects that have been hanging around way too long, don't involve just me, and, well, it's going to be very hard. BUT she has a valid point: if I could clear that board, refilling it with "new" projects would be a joy. 

OH --- should I, shouldn't I?? That is the question. 

I wonder about her ...

Good morning, my friends. If you read yesterday's post, then you already know our yesterday was spent sight-seeing in the nearby towns of Zillah and Toppenish. We left the RV early to head down the road a mile to have a breakfast of our beloved Egg McMuffins, and then we made our trek to both towns. We were back at the camper before noon. We were staying in one of the less desirable private RV parks. I can't complain too much. The place was nothing fancy. The worst part is that the surrounding area is populated by feedlots ...

Good morning, my friends. We had another short drive yesterday…in the 90 mile range. We were back-tracking over some roads through the town of Quincy. Eventually, we came over a rise and took in this view of the Columbia River. We were going to cross the bridge you see below.

Good morning, my friends. It was a perfect day for hiking the Ancient Lakes Trail yesterday. We had both clouds and sun, and it kept us cool along a rather dry and unshaded path. But let's just back up to the start of the day. When I looked out our back window, this is what I saw:

While we've been traveling, I learned that the designer of this pattern, Meg Hawkey, had passed away. I read that on Facebook, and I haven't ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a beautiful drive from Electric City to Quincy, Washington, yesterday. So much of the way, we were driving alongside Banks Lake. We’d driven through the little town to the state highway. As we passed through this canyon, we could see the lake on the other side.

Good morning, my friends. We had a very enjoyable day yesterday. On the day’s agenda were these items: visit Grand Coulee Dam, get some groceries, visit the Gehrke Windmill Garden. Check, check, and check. We left Sadie basking in the morning sunshine. And speaking of sunshine, we had a nice day of weather. A little breezy and on the chilly side, but no rain, and no dust.

Good morning, my friends. We had a blissfully short drive yesterday...just 44 miles to our location here in Electric City, Washington. The town was established in 1934 as a place to house workers for the Grand Coulee Dam project. Some of the original buildings were relocated here from the nearby town of Osbourne. Osbourne was inundated when the dam was built. Electric City was incorporated in 1950.

This is the view of Banks Lake from our campsite. Banks Lake resulted from the damming of the Columbia River.

Good morning, my friends. This will be a shorty. There are two reasons for that. First, we gave ourselves a chill day yesterday, which meant we did next to nothing. It was warm, but very windy outside, and so it wasn't particularly pleasant being out there. We might have taken the walk down by the river, but the wind discouraged us. And, if I'm being honest, the warning about the presence of venomous snakes killed my curiosity about anything else we might find there.

Instead, I spent a good part of the day slow-stitching. When I'd done ...

Good morning, my friends. What an interesting little tour we created for ourselves yesterday. We first drove into the adjacent town of Brewster, Washington, to indulge ourselves with our beloved Egg McMuffins. Along the way we were able to fully take in the vastness of the apple and cherry orchards in this area. We'd noticed the abundance of fruit trees on our drive in, but seeing the landscape really brought it home to us. The green on the far hillsides…all apple and cherry orchards.
