What A Week!

Apparently, we are going to have interesting weather again this week.  According to today’s forecast we are going to have severe weather Wednesday night into Thursday.  Of course, we are going to have rain every day, starting this evening, this week.  It is also going to be in the 70’s which means we probably will have severe weather.

I spent all morning house cleaning my living room. I did four loads of laundry.  I put a couple of quilts on my new quilt rack.  Time for a break.

After lunch I headed to the Sewing Shack and finished the ten quilts blocks.  I now have the twenty blocks ready for class.  Class will be on Thursday.

Kevin arrived home from Cincinnati about suppertime.  Again, he had lousy weather.  Apparently, it rained and stormed all the way.  But he is home safe and sound and that’s all that matters.

Tuesday morning I left bright and early for a trip to Kroger’s.  That’s a couple of hours trip.  Anyway, groceries are in for at least a week or two.  The worse part is bringing them in from the car.  I am exhausted by the time I am finished….and then I have to put everything away.  Next was lunch.  While eating Kevin came over to get me.  Stephanie was at their house.  Her and Ray got engaged this past weekend and he invited me over to see her ring.  It is beautiful.

They have set a date for December but are having trouble finding a venue.  Seems everything is booked.  I am not surprised.  Kevin offered to have it in his backyard, but that was voted down. 

This afternoon I did what I called piddly work.  I cleaned off some shelves, emptied garbage, picked up the mail, and fixed supper for Penny and me.  This old age sucks.  I just can’t do as much as I used to in a day no matter how hard I try.  After supper I sat in my chair and watched television.  Now it’s off to bed!

This morning (Wednesday) I finally house cleaned my dining room.  I am definitely making progress.  After lunch I loaded up my car with the sewing supplies, so I am ready for tomorrow. 

Later in the afternoon I looked out my front door and what did I see, but two beautiful horses.  They belong to the folks three doors down from me.  They get out every so often.  They ended up going into the pasture across the road from me.  Their gate was open, so they made themselves at home.  Meanwhile I called Kevin and he sent a text to the owner who is now over there on his four-wheeler rounding them up.  They are busy running away from him.  Jana and Mattie, you are missing all the fun 😊  However, Penny is watching them.

The cows are also watching them.

I went to my quilting class on Thursday.  As much as I enjoyed the first one, I didn’t enjoy the second one.  The ladies never seem to be on time.  We are supposed to start at 9:00 a.m.  Most of the ladies didn’t arrive until 9:15 to 9:30.  So, after visiting we are lucky to start by 10:00.  Then it seems some of the ladies don’t follow directions and they went ahead and did work on their quilt they weren’t supposed to do.  Others didn’t do what they were suppose to do.  And…..to make matters worse there was a typo in the instructions.  Of course, you always have ladies who need one-on-one instructions.  It was decided we needed another class because she was trying to get everyone on the same page (so to speak).  I left on time, others stayed late.  Not sure I will go to the next class.  I think I have figured out how to finish the quilt.  If not, I will improvise.

Several of the ladies were loudly playing “can you top this” regarding their quilting skills.  I wish I was so perfect 😊.  Another lady spent her day calling everyone mam and asking for supplies and help because she didn’t bring what she needed.  Then she brought her “service” dog (who wasn’t wearing a service dog vest) and spent the rest of the time talking baby talk to the dog.  Now, I can’t complain about the dog because he laid under her table the whole time and didn’t bother anyone.  Arrived home with a terrible headache. 

Didn’t do anything after arriving home.

Friday I house cleaned my kitchen and laundry area.  I am getting there.  Only bathroom and bedroom to go.
