Good morning, my friends. Today comes the "find out" part of my recent FAFO actions. (Google it, if you don't know.) It's the day I go to court over my recent speeding ticket. There's no whining or making excuses on my part. I'm just hoping for a reduction in the fine if I throw myself on the mercy of the court. What form do you think this should take? Should I writhe on the ground for a while? Would kicking and screaming be ill-advised? Probably I should wait and read the room before making any rash ...

Good morning, my friends. The Summer Solstice is still a couple of weeks away, but it sure felt like summer yesterday. I took time in the morning to stitch Tiny Treasure #55. This one has stem stitch, stem fill, basketweave stitch, and straight stitch.

Good morning, my friends. It's the last day of May. We're onto June tomorrow. Are you ready? On June 4, 1944, my mom and dad were married. They were married 52 years when she passed away in 1997. Also, my grandfather's birthday was June 14th...Flag Day. (Also the same day as...you know...he who shall not be named.) My grandfather always told me they put the flags out on Flag Day for him. He was a WWI veteran, and so it made complete sense to me.

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast again this morning. I'm heading out early for a haircut. I'm going to try to get the morning's Tiny Treasure stitched before I go, but no promises. Here's the one from yesterday. I give you Tiny Treasure #50. This one has stem stitch, straight stitch, satin stitch, and feather stitch.

Good morning, my friends. Yesterday's outing took less time than expected. We finished with our vaccines a little too early for lunch, and so we ran a couple of errands and then headed for home. Also, we both feel fine after our vaccines. I don't even have a sore arm from it. 

Before we left, I had time to press and photograph the Santa Quartet. These guys will get a border eventually.

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast this morning. Mike and I have appointments for a COVID booster, so we'll be heading out early this morning. Let's just get right to it, shall we?

Knowing rain was coming, I went out early to check on the flowers. The Garden Treasures peony looked pretty much the same as when I looked at it the day before. The Fairy Princess peony was starting to show more of itself.

And that was pretty much all that was going on in the garden ...

Good morning, my friends. It was kind of a lazy day yesterday. For one thing, we were both awake very early...during the 4:00 a.m. hour. I don't know about you, but if I wake up any time after 4:00 a.m., my brain is off and running, and I can't get back to sleep. While I was doing my slow-stitching yesterday morning, I could swear I fell asleep mid-stitch, and just kept on stitching. So, when Mike went back to bed for a morning nap, I just slid down on the couch where I ...

Good morning, my friends. It's probably our last day of good weather here. We're told it will rain tomorrow. I have plenty of slow-stitching to keep me busy for the next several days. Yesterday, I stitched far enough on the Santa Quartet to decide to move my hoop to encompass the last of it.

Good morning, my friends. Another one bites the dust. I'm happy to say the quilting is finished for the Homestead quilt. When I sat down at the machine yesterday, just the outer border remained. As I've said before, I try to learn something from every quilt. From this one, I learned that choosing a dark color thread on light fabrics probably isn't a good idea. As I quilted some of the blocks for this quilt, I thought the dark blue thread overwhelmed the design of the quilt block. Originally, I had in mind to do something traditional ...

Good morning, my friends. It gives me great pleasure to announce the end of my Wednesday treks to PT. It also gives me great pleasure to say that my shoulder is nearly pain free. And who among us doesn't have some ache or pain somewhere in their body? I'm hopeful that I can eventually put this annoyance behind me completely. For now, I'll just say it feels better on the days when I do my exercises. That alone will motivate me to keep doing them. Nevertheless, I'm happy not to be making that drive to the ...
