Thanksgiving was great. We traveled to San Angelo/Ballinger to gather with Hog Man's family to celebrate. On the way home we stopped by and picked up DGD Aimee and she spent several days with us. I helped her to complete her quilt she had chosen to do for her Bronze Award in Girl Scouts. I showed her how to do things and she did the work. I showed her how to do the "quick turn method" (page 5 on this link tells an excellent way for a newby). It worked really good for her. Then she turned it and whipped the opening closed. Then the next day she tied it. And she did it! She is a quilter! Woohoo!

| She looks pretty proud of herself as she should be! Good job, sweetie.
I hope your Cyber Monday started out better than mine. I had a cup of water in the microwave heating it to heat Hog Man's thermos before pouring the coffee in and out from under the microwave came a SCORPION. It was a small one but none the less a scorpion. It quickly crawled back under when I started trying to whack it with the fly swatter. I hauled that sucker out of their with the fly swatter and splat -- no more scorpion.
Then- THEN! Hog Man went to work. Telephone rings about fifteen minutes later. Conversation went like this--"Hello, are you the ones with the hogs?" We get that a lot so I didn't think much about it UNTIL. "Yes, we are." "Well, I'm your neighbor and I've got one in my front yard." "We will be right there." Guess what--Hog Man forgot his cell phone this morning. I wasn't dressed yet. You know it's Monday morning when things happen like that. Before I could get completely dressed another neighbor was knocking on the door. Long story short, I got in touch with Hog Man; he came home; the two sows who got out got put up; and things settled down real quick. A feed bucket works wonders! Thank goodness! Never a dull moment.
