I went to Paradise. Yeah, I did! It's just about six miles from my house. Really! Paradise Piecemakers met Saturday and I took my Time Travel quilt top and pieced more of the Soaring Past Time blocks. And I peddled some of my wares. It was very enjoyable. I mean what could be better than piecing most of the day. Unless it was quilting most of the day. SO, today I worked some more on the blocks and now only have four left to put together.
When I got home Saturday we got the news that DH's friend/ex-coworker passed away that afternoon. Thank God he didn't suffer long. DH has been asked to do his funeral.
I called my neighbor today and asked if she wanted to start walking (we talked about it last year and never got started) and if today was a good day. We agreed to meet after lunch and walked about a mile to start with. I know not much for some but for us out-of-shape gals; it is a start. My neighbor quit smoking this year and I am so glad for her. It was very warm-82 degrees when we were walking. Right now the wind is blowing ninety to nothing. And in the morning it is to be 40 degrees but feel like 30. Joy. I will definitely finish the four blocks in the morning.
I would appreciate your prayers for my sister and her family. I won't go into detail here but please pray for a peaceful solution to the custody issues involving their granddaughter.
This is not a desert photo. Really! This is located in Colorado. This is a National Park in Colorado that we visited back a couple of years ago. The dark figures are people walking toward the dunes. It was so weird to see this huge sand dune between a couple of mountains.This is a picture of some of our ladies from Kraz-z Quilters on one of our fabric field trips. I'm the one in the back in the lavender shirt. We had lunch that day at a lovely tea room.
I keep forgetting to take my camera with me to take pictures of our pigs. I will remember one of these days. Promise.
Blessings.
Hi, I'm sorry to hear about you friend. It's never easy.
ReplyDeleteI hope it works out okay for your sister. Our neighbors are still working on their quest to adopt their great-granddaughter. It's a long and drawn out affair. Prays going up for all.
Your sand dune photo is neat. I've never seen anything like that in real life or been to Colorado. I know it is beautiful there.
Take care,
Patricia
Oh yes, one more thing : )
ReplyDeleteThe next time I see that Paradise sign, I'm going to take a picture of it. Maybe you can meet us at the sign and DH can take a picture of us by the sign. I imagine we won't be up that way until July.
