Some of This and Some of That

Miss Penny is exhausted.  She spent part of the day on guard duty while I did my shopping.  After lunch she has been helping me with my computer work, and watching Kevin mow the grass.

This morning I went to Barnes & Noble.  Bought one book and I am having one sent.  For some reason that don’t carry this one author that I like so they mail it to me.  Since I am a member the mailing is free.  From there I went to Joann’s Fabric.  I bought my square rulers that I need for my t-shirt quilting class.  They want us to bring the 15 inch square and the 10 inch square.  I had bought a lot of quilting rulers and templates, but I didn’t have any of the square ones.  So, I bought one of every size.  😊  I also bought the stabilizer for the t-shirts and the fabric for the inner border.  I think I have everything now.  I bought t-shirts.  I needed twelve.  Seven have arrived.  The other five have been sent and should be here sometime next week.  By the time I get finished this quilt is going to cost me a fortune!  I am finding out that quilting is expensive.

I have several other projects to finish that I have been working on.  I have also been experimenting with my sewing machine.  It has the capability of doing quite a few decorative stitches.  I really like some of them.

I have quite a few Christmas projects to complete.  They are all embroidery.  Some are gifts.  I have enough to do to keep me busy for quite a while.

Yesterday I did some research regarding a sewing table.  I just realized I don’t have anything to put my sewing machine on when I move into my shed.  I found quite a few that I like.  Now I have to make a decision.  I also ordered a few items from Missouri Quilt. 

Filled the hummingbird feeder.  I now have four hummingbirds coming to eat.

Went to Mass.  We now have a new priest.  He is no longer listed as temporary.  I really like him.  I like how in his sermon he explains the gospel and adds some stories so you can understand it.  On the way home I stopped and bought pizza. I decided to try Little Caesars.  I didn’t care for it, so I will not buy it again.  Watched some television and called it a day.

I had my Sunday “visit” with Brian this morning.  He calls me every Sunday morning.  I always enjoy our talks.  He calls me other times also, but Sunday morning is special.  Kevin came over this morning and we had a nice visit.  I will be going to Kevin and Renea’s for Sunday dinner later today.

Had a really good supper at Kevin and Renea’s.  Kevin fixed chicken on the grill, and, of course, it was the best chicken ever 😊.  We had tater tots, sweet potato fries, cole slaw and macaroni and cheese with brownies for desert.  Both Ryan and Stephanie were there for supper.  Stephanie brought her boyfriend’s dog. He is an Australian Shepherd named Kodiak.  Neat dog.  The mother came out in Lola and she was doing her best to protect Copper and Shelby.  The dogs were just playing, but Lola did a lot of barking at them and trying to separate them.  She just didn’t understand.  So, Kevin and I both gave her a lot of loving.

Kevin and Renea offered me the use of the golf cart.  I said yes and thank you.  Kevin charged the batteries and delivered it to me along with the key on Monday.  Yea! I will be using it to take the garbage up to the garbage cans and to get my mail.  My legs don’t work too well, and I still have trouble with my balance.  This is going to work just fine!
