What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I was afraid to look to see when was the last time I had posted but it hasn’t been that long ago. I posted on the 20th, and until 12 minutes ago, it was the 23rd. I was sick for 1-1/2 days and, for anyone who knows me, sick means let me sleep 24/7. Sunday...

We recorded Best Bites and just watched it (10 pm). Cooper and Oscar were asleep on my lap and I squealed when they won. Poor puppies. I scared them half to death. We went to Ghetto Tacos on Tuesday but now I want to go tomorrow. We won’t but maybe one day next week! I...

Last night was the first time in many, many years that I was in bed before 10 p.m. I was so tired but we had a busy day. I started out early working in the garden – did a bit of weed eating, fertilizing, pulling weeds. Rita had her annual exam and shots so we...

We get our teeth cleaned and x-rays from the local hygienist school. Since it’s a teaching school, the appointments begin at 8:30 and end about 3:30 with 1-1/2 hours for lunch. Today Vince had his appointment. I had almost a whole day to myself. I had a stitchy zoom meet up that was going to...

After lunch I went out and worked in the greenhouse. I had planted Black Krim tomato and Salvatore tomato seeds. I’ve also planted a couple more slicing/eating tomatoes and one other paste tomato. Black Krim is an eating tomato and Salvatore is a paste tomato. Juliet is the other paste tomato I’m growing this year....

Last night I saw the cutest thing ever! We were watching the news and there’s a school in Grove, OK where the 2nd graders were reading to dogs and cats at the animal shelter. The children were sitting on the floor on little mats. The dogs were in individual “pens” that were about 2′ from...

Chad and Vince were supposed to go fishing today. Nicole was working this weekend so Addie called me yesterday and asked “If I come down with Dad tomorrow, will you take me to Sephora?” I told her yes . . even though you know how much I don’t like shopping. Then she asked “Can we...

Vince is the bargain shopper in the family. I mostly want to get what I need and be done. Our choices here are pretty much Aldi or Walmart and I’ve always been comfortable that either of those places have fair prices. After the Baltimore port incident, there’s been some talk that sugar may be in...

With almost every order I place, and wait and wait for its arrival, I get more apprehensive about ordering anything. Maybe Vince is collaborating with the post office to lose my my packages so I will stop ordering! I have a package from Fat Quarter Shop that is taking forever. I think it’s been over...

This is kind of a rant but I’m also laughing about it. I’ve been noticing with the stove that when I have oil in a skillet, it isn’t level. A month or so ago, I asked Vince to bring a level in and we put it on the stove top and everything seemed to be...

My garden is mostly planted and what isn’t planted, the seeds are started. There are about 65 tomato plants started, though not all in this picture. I think there are over 50 pepper plants started. I’m afraid to count them!

This morning I had to do a double take when I walked by the wall oven. Bunnies running across the screen and it says “Leap Day”. Thanks, oven! Last night at midnight, I put the Prairie Life Sampler away and got ready to start stitching on the Leap Year Project that I’m stitching with Denise...

Those of us without dental insurance are lucky to be living here! Missouri Southern State University is probably 6 or 8 miles from us and they have a dental hygiene school. We can go there and get our teeth cleaned and full x-rays for $35. It’s an all day job because it’s a teaching “lab”....

We left about 8 this morning and went to Chad’s. We got there, brought in the few things we had brought for them (sourdough starter for Nicole, two loaves of bread, yarn and instructions for Addie to make a crochet sunflower granny square afghan and a few other things). Chad and Vince rushed off to...

I rarely use storebought flour but I still have some and I mostly use it to dust containers before baking and to dust the countertop before rolling out dough. I was out upstairs and I went downstairs to get a refill of my flour container. All my grains and baking type goods are stored in...

Informed Delivery is a good thing and also provides with some laughs. The packages always seem to arrive but the routes they sometimes take . . I cannot figure it out. Here’s one I was looking at this morning. It left Tulsa on February 16. I’m note quite 2 hours east of Tulsa. It departed...

You know I’m not much into movies but we just finished one I highly recommend. It’s Valley of Love and Vince said we saw it on Prime. Warning: I needed tissues at the end but it was happy tears.

This morning I wanted biscuits, eggs and hash browns. I was going to fix bacon and Vince said he would rather have ham so I fixed bacon for me and ham for him. I also cooked some apples that we needed to use. Sorry for the blurry picture. I usually take more than one picture...

Yesterday the fish truck was in town so we went there. They set up in the Junkerville (flea market) parking lot and that’s one of our favorite flea markets so we took our drinks and our paper towels and our hot sauce and sat in the car and ate . . a picnic in the...

Around 2004 was the last time I made soap but Vince found a tub of my soap in one of the rented storage buildings. That means that tub of soap has been moved from Kentucky to Missouri to Texas and back to Missouri over the last 20 years. That box smells so good! There’s Freesia,...
