Amazing What I Can Do, When NOT Playing Games

This morning, I was all ready to go to the grange for the last time to visit with Gerilyn. About an hour before I needed to leave, she called to say she has strep throat. So, I ended up cancelling the meeting. She's looking forward to meeting at moms, and it will make it easier for her mother to join us as well. 

Since Patrick wasn't going golfing (would start till 10 am because of the cold weather) and I couldn't go to the meeting, we headed up to Olympia for our blood tests. I had to do a "pee" test as well. OMG! I have one heck of a time with the urinary tests!! TMI, I know, but I was able to get enough! lol Now that that was over, we headed to Costco! 

OMG! (yep again!) The parking lot was FULL. Took us a good 5-10 minutes looking for a parking spot. We ended up way out there. I took my walking stick while I was there. I believe I got my walking and more in today by going there. We were there to pick up the pecan pie, cookies (yep he ate most of the first tub I bought last week), and a few other things. The pre-scanned our order and it was so easy when we got to the counter. Patrick wanted a pizza slice. UGH So, I ended up getting the hot dog. I'm getting tired of the hot dog! But I really wasn't in the mood to sit and watch Patrick eat his pizza. I wanted to come home and make a sandwich with my crab salad. Oh, well. 

We got home and unloaded. After all that work, I decided I better get my emails out letting the veterans know it will be about 6-9 months before we can honor them with a quilt. I ended up marking several as priority between active members and those who served in 1950-1960. Debbie told me we have a WWII veteran that will be at the WWII dinner. It's on the 7th, so we will end up going to honor him. I need to see who else can make it. I had to stop working on the emails so Patrick could "zoom" with one of his doctors. 

While he was chatting with his doctors, I was beading. Like I said, I needed to get these done!

I am close to getting this done. I listened to my book on tape. 

OMG!! While I was listening to my book, Patrick started talking to me. I had to stop my earbuds and listen. A few minutes go by and I turn it back on. THEN he starts talking again! This went on for a good hour!! I know he knew I was listening to my book, and he was testing me to see if I was listening to him as well. It's a pain in the butt when you have to click the book off, wait and listen, then when he stops talking, click it on, to have him start talking again!! I was getting so irritated by it! It took me a good 2 1/2 hours to finish the last hour of the book! I wanted to tell him to shut up, but then he would give me crap about my listening to my books. Can't win that battle. Try beading and going through that! I had to stop beading to click on and off. 

I had to get the quilts ready to go to the museum tomorrow. So, I labeled the following quilts to get them to the museum tomorrow. 

This was one of the quilt kits that Martha Day did. 


This came from the Tri-Cities QOV. 


Mom did this one and it's HUGE. We will need to find a big veteran for this one. 


This was a group quilt. I did more, but it looks like I forgot to take a photo of them. 

With the day going so well, it felt good to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
