Dinner With Family Today

This morning, I beat Patrick up. Then I listened to the last 10 minutes of my audiobook. 

I pretty much played games till it was time to leave. We had to pick mom up to take her down to Kelso's Red Lobster. We were meeting my brother down there. Mom gave me 2 quilts that were done. Then I gave her the white-on-white fabric for Georgie. She was showing us the quilt she was working on. It's nice. 

We headed down to Kelso around 3 pm. Then we arrive around 3:48 pm. My brother and his wife were right behind us. They arrived a few minutes after us. We waited to be seated. 

We were seated in a long booth that worked out great for us. Patrick and I shared a "boiled bag" of crab, lobster and other goodies. The rest of them got 2 or 3 servings of shrimp. I seriously wasn't in the mood for shrimp, but I did eat some from the bowl. We must have chatted for over 2 hours. The waitress was being really nice and letting us chat. 

We dropped mom off and came home. Our shows were on, so we sat and watched them. I worked on my cross stitch. 

I was working on the right side, after rolling the piece. When I got to the light blue/green that was #503, I found I didn't have it with my floss. I looked all over then I went downstairs and found 2 different shades of the blue/green. Neither one was the color I used. I looked to see if I had something close, no such luck. So, I came up and now it looks like I will be taking out that color that is here and replacing it with another shade of 503. UGH UGH UGH! It's on the left side above the yellow where the red flowers are. So, not only am I taking out the left side, I have to take out the right side as well. Not looking forward to it, but I need to make them work. It will take time and at least I know I have that. It may wind up a day of taking out and a day of putting in. We will see, I can hope I can find the floss but have a feeling it won't happen. I'm not that lucky. That's what I get for putting this away for so long. This is the 3rd thing that I have had to fix. Give me time! I may yet get this done!

At least I was able to be on the side of Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
