Here I thought I missed yesterday to find I missed all of September so far. Sorry about that.
When Katt is here, I tend to forget my routines and blogging is in my routine.
As for the past 2 days - good question! It went by so fast. So, I will think. One the 2nd I didn't do much of anything. I did cook and make some pumpkin bars. I also got busy with laundry.
As for yesterday - it was QOV Presentation day. Since my Uncle Bob was receiving his quilt I needed to be ready. I gabbed my box and completely forgot to take the 2 quilt tops that I have ready for Connie (which I did on the 2nd).
I arrived and was getting things ready. Of course mom and Nancy were doing their part as well. Mom seems to like having control. I was stopping her when she was getting too far, We had 8 veterans to honor. I was amazed at how easy it went. I even remember all my lines and didn't have to think too much. lol
Those receiving quilts were (in no particular order) Carl Lieske, Diane Dempster, Marvin Pitcher, Ronald Johnson, Roger Tower, Jerry Herrara, Frank Bennett, Jr, and Robert Taylor.
They were a blast. After the ceremony my Uncle asked if we wanted to go out. First he wanted to go to the casino and then changed his mind to the Brewery. They wanted to leave "RIGHT NOW" and I told him he might as well wait till I have things done before he leaves since I have to pick Patrick up. He did. They left and had a good 30 mins on us. I had to go home and pick Patrick up. As we were going, we decided if they already ordered, we would just get a drink and come home. It actually turned out that they were waiting on us. We ordered and chatted. Food arrived and we chatted. Then Patrick spilled his drink on the table. That was okay, they brought both of us another drink. Time for the waitress to ask who's "paying, is this one ticket or more?" DEAD SILENCE! A minute went by and the waitress as getting uncomfortable. Patrick said, "2 tickets, hers and mine, and the three of them on the second ticket." This has happened so many times when dad was alive. Uncle expected dad to pay all the time. He's got plenty of money!! He's a retired longshoreman who also was Union president! He buys a new car every year!! We laughed on the way home but man! I made the quilt and he asked US out, not the other way around! What a night!
Katt came home from the wedding around 11:30 pm. She then left at 8 am this morning. Yesterday was a good day to think about being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
