Movie Today from Quilting My Way

 This morning, I was happy to sleep in a little. 

Got up and got laundry going. Then I listened to my audiobooks. I decided on the one I was listening to last night, wasn't worth listening to the other half of the book. Too much sexual content that seemed to be everywhere in the book. Thinking it, doing it and saying it. Not worth waiting to see how it ends. I like stories I can enjoy, even if some sex is in it, but not every page. 

I played my war game and was shocked to find I'm ...

Casino Day - Wednesday! from Quilting My Way

 Today, Patrick slept later than I did. lol 

We were out the door before 10 am. I had to make a deposit at the credit union and then drop off the electric bill for the water system. Plus, we had clothes that needed to be dropped off at the boxes in Rochester. We had a couple bags worth. So, we dropped them off before making it to the casino. 

We were there till about 4:30 pm. I wasn't real hunger and neither was Patrick, so I just got soup for supper. Patrick got a yogurt. We started out ...

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!! from Quilting My Way

 I enjoyed sleeping in. I got up shortly after Patrick. 

I needed to get a few things done today. I got the cat litter cleaned out. On Sundays, I wash the container that has the litter. I don't like just scooping out the litter. lol 

Then I got moving on the laundry. It's Sunday. Patrick had me stop cleaning because it's Mother's Day. He even made supper for me today. It was sweet of him to roast a chicken for me. I had to run to the corner store to get some gravy mix because he ...

Trip Back Up To Olympia from Quilting My Way

This morning, I tried to sleep in. Patrick was up at his 7 am time. I was surprised he didn't sleep more, since he wasn't golfing today. 

I played on my tablet before we had to leave for moms. She had to go to Costco for her hearing aids. Patrick drove us up there. She had to do the hearing test before they could fit her with hearing aids. She didn't lose as much hearing as I thought she would. It took an hour. Patrick was out in the car. I found some pj's and let ...

Nothing Exciting Today from Quilting My Way

Got up this morning and just played my match games for a bit. Patrick went golfing. 

Around 1:30 pm was my war game, so I had to play that for an hour and a half. Didn't do good but think I made it to the next round, or at least I think I did. 

We left right after my game to pick mom up. We took her down to Longview to have supper with my brother. Red Lobster is the place we meet up. It works out great. We treated mom to a Birthday and Mother's Day ...

Enjoying Lunch With Friends from Quilting My Way

This morning, Patrick and I slept in. It was nice. 

We went to meet Kim and Jim at Sweet Inspirations in Chehalis for lunch. On the way into town, we saw a fire cloud. 

We were trying to figure out where it was, till we realized it was close to Patrick's Cabinets in Chehalis. On S Market Street. 

We were hoping there wasn't anyone in the house! 


No fire trucks when we passed it, but they were on the way when we got another block. By that time, they were a little late. Shame the trucks didn't ...

Olympia And Casino from Quilting My Way

This morning, Colleen stopped by to drop off two quilts and collect backing and batting for a total of three quilts. I had to replace the one color for the back, because I cut it wrong. The other was for a quilt her sister did for us. The third one was the quilt top with batting and backing that mom and Georgie made. 

After she left, Patrick came home from golfing. Then we went up to Olympia for my breathing tests. I have been stable for the past two years, so that's a good sign. He still wants to ...

A Nothing Day To A Busy Day from Quilting My Way

This morning, I thought my day would be just relaxing before the rest of the week got busy. No such luck. I was eating breakfast, when mom called to say she couldn't hear out of her right ear. The hearing aid wasn't working. She was in a panic and needed to get to Costco. I told her I would call her back. I was going to go to Debbie's to get the information for brother Patrick. She was having someone come at 1:30 pm, so I would have to work around that. Patrick called when I ...

Monday At Moms from Quilting My Way

Yesterday, mom turned 91. So, I went to Safeway this morning and picked up a cake for her. I thought there would be more at our meeting, but as it turned out, there was only three of us. Georgie, mom and myself. 

I took my beading. I also took some fabric for mom and Georgie to work with. They almost have one of the panel quilts done. Since mom had to go get her teeth cleaned at 11 am, Georgie and I chatted. I was able to get part of the next ornament done. 

I finished three of them there ...

Mom's 91st Birthday from Quilting My Way

This morning, we were up early. I couldn't believe how slow the day went. At least the morning seems to take forever to move. 

I worked on my cross stitch after getting some cleaning done. 

I worked on it for a while before it was time to go to moms. We took some fabric for the quilts her and Georgie were working on. I brought one home. We also took mom so flowers from the garden and 2 pots of flowers for her front door. She was happy to get them. We sat and talked to her for an ...

Back To Some Beading from Quilting My Way

This morning, I wanted to sleep in but couldn't. 

Got up and played my war games for a bit and then got some laundry in. 

Once that was going, I listened to my audiobooks and watched a YouTube video on the 3D beaded star ornaments. I wanted to do another one or two.

I was able to get this done today. It took all afternoon, but it was fun to do. I have decided I will do more. I think my tree will look great with these. I may have to make a couple sets for my kids as ...

Now To Remember What I Did Today from Quilting My Way

I didn't want to get up this morning. Lately it's more fun to just stay in bed. But I am always up by 8:30 am now anyway. 

I enjoyed an hour before Patrick came in from golfing. When he got home I took my walk. Got in 7 laps which is 2.39 miles. Not bad. Then I was waiting to see when 1:30 pm came round because I had the war game, I'm still in. Before the game started, I worked on my cross stitching. 

After the war game was over, Patrick and I ...

Casino Wednesday from Quilting My Way

This morning, we left around 10 am. I needed to pick up a quilt from the church and then we went to the casino, like we do every Wednesday. 

We arrived around 10:30 am and left around 5:00 pm. We spent most of the day there. Partly because we wanted to get a pizza and they don't open till 4 pm. As usual, we played our favorite games and a couple we haven't played in a long time. One of them we figured doesn't pay as good as the others, so we didn't stay ...

Took The Day Off! LOL from Quilting My Way

 Okay, so I'm not working, just retired. 

Which means I can do whatever I want to. So, I slept till about 9:30 am. Patrick got home around 10:30 from golfing. So, I was getting laundry going - and this time I really did do laundry. 

Then I went for my walk. I should have eaten or drank something before I went, but I didn't. So, I texted Patrick to bring me water. I ended up doing a lap before he came out with the water. I then did 2 more laps and called it done. I was ...

Almost Done from Quilting My Way

This morning, I had to go down and cut batting and backing to take to Colleen this afternoon. 

I was out the door and at moms about 10 minutes late. Sandy from Ocean Shores beat me to moms. We had a good visit with everyone. I was working on my rose piece. Mom and Georgie were asking about the quilts they are working on and are almost done with. 


 I worked on the beadwork on the leafy areas. The right side is almost done. I have the top and left side to do. Then it's done! It looks a ...

I Have Been Trying!! from Quilting My Way

Today, I was up early. The sun was up really early and that wakes me up before I want to get up. Patrick doesn't like to sleep in the dark (MAN! Do I miss that!!) so we get the sun coming in every morning. Better when it's raining, then I can sleep longer. lol 

I got laundry going - just one load because I forgot I started laundry today. Anyway, I worked on my family history. I worked on the BROWN side of my family and was surprised at how far back I was able to go. But it ...

Interesting Day from Quilting My Way

 This morning, I couldn't go back to sleep, so was up at 7 am. I woke around 4 am and kept waking up every few minutes. So, gave up after a while. 

I was enjoying the morning, by playing games when Patrick reminded me of the Zoom meeting with QOV state coordinator. Our President was also in the meeting. She talked about the changes and what to expect in the next year. I didn't realize it was her that became President of QOVF. She's with my old group in Olympia. She's also an attorney. So, we ...

War Game And Casino from Quilting My Way

 This morning, I could only get 6 laps in on my walking. My watch said I did 1.99 miles. lol I should have walked a few more steps for 2 miles. lol 

At 1:30 pm we had our war game with all the kingdom players. Or at least 1200 players. We are trying to see who's the best - and it's not me. lol I ended up playing against Sux who is in my alliance. It's funny really. I didn't realize it till I saw her big castle. My team beat hers though. We came ...

Okay, It's Thursday - Getting Stuff Ready from Quilting My Way

This morning, Patrick was golfing and I was sleeping in. 

When I got up, I had to get moving. I played my game for a bit, then got a text about coming over to pick up a kit. I told Colleen I would be walking for 30 minutes, but she's welcome to come. Just as I finished my 6th lap, she was here. I'm glad I was able to get 6 laps in. I was getting into my audiobook as I was walking. I'm surprised at liking what I'm listening to. I usually don't do ...

Our Weekly Trip To The Casino from Quilting My Way

This morning, I needed to get up to Olympia for my doctor appointment. I had to get my "female test" done today. I have been positive over the last 3 years with HPV virus. The last one was fine. I had to do another test today to see if it shows up again and if it does, then I have to do a biopsy. I learned a lot more today about the HPV tests. It's the test they do to see if cancer is coming. It is normally dormant. It was described like chick pots. It's something you ...
