Thursday Travel

We were up and out the door by 9 am. Our flight was scheduled for noon. Since it ❄️ snowed the night before we decided to get moving early " just in case." We arrived a good hour plus.  We found our flight was delayed an hour. Then again another half hour. We figured we would have about 20 mins in Denver before having to leave for San Francisco.  There were others on our flight headed for Baltimore but 10 minutes before we landed they announced the flight was leaving. Think there were 4 on our plane. We arrived at the gate we were to leave on to find our gate changed from 43 to 65. We had a good walk. No food to get going that way. Oh, well. We also found the time was moved another hour before departure.  When we sat, the gal behind us said they were going on the cruise as well. As we boarded, the gentleman in the front said he and his wife were going as well. So we met up with at least 2 couples going already. We had a really nice lady sit next to us. 

We finally arrived in San Francisco at 7 pm. Got an Uber. We were checking out the buildings as we went. Got a parfait   (?) For something before going to our room. It's small but does what we needed. Watched Frozen II and called it a night. I did not take anything to work on Hensel the reason we were delayed! I'm not sure yet when I will be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!

Busy Day....From One Place To Another

This morning was first stop to the bank, second stop to the bowling alley, and then to the grange to enjoy some time with Cindy and Sandy. We talked and worked on our projects. I was able to get a bead in on the tree as well as a few leaves. I didn't get a photo, but will do that when I work on it next. I have my new class this Saturday. 

Then it was off to Connie's to drop off my quilt. Also took her her backing and batting. We chatted for a little bit. She has been getting a few quilt tops done as well as quilting them. I'm amazed at how much she gets done. 

Next stop was Bill and Bea's for 2 burgers. Once I had those I was off to moms. We had lunch together before she had visitors. I enjoyed about 20 mins with Irene who used to live across the street from mom. They just sold the house. She's now in the Colonial House at Stillwaters Estates. She was looking good but she's lost some weight. Next stop to Georgie's to drop off some embroidery and quilt blocks. 

I changed this around but didn't take a photo. I will probably do what I have on the floor downstairs. That will get another quilt done. (All after I got home and Debbie came over)

I was out the door to my PT. I arrived just as he was at the door. I spent the next hour doing exercises. He worked on my "tight" legs and back. I was in pain a couple times when he stuck his thumb in my back. lol 

Finally came home. Got backing and batting done for Debbie. Then she came over and collected some more fabric. We chatted for a little bit and then she left. She finished another top so at this rate, I need to get moving! Georgie gave me a couple more blocks that would go with the quilt I have on the floor. When I checked it out they were different backings. 

It's Halloween and I miss not having children stop by for treats. Time really have changed. I just relaxed the rest of the day. I'm just lucky I was able to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!

Day Out On The Water

Today started with everyone talking loud and not letting me sleep in. So 8:30 am I finally got up. 

We had breakfast and headed outside.  I  went on the kayak with Patrick and we went around the island and Susan caught up with us on her paddle board.

Afterwards Patrick and Chris headed out on the peddle boat. 

While they were out I pulled out my embroidery to work on.

Not the best photo but I took it in the kitchen at 11 pm. I will do a better one tomorrow.  I was able to get all be lattice done and start on the stems. 

Then it was time to head back out on the water with Chris. We took the jet sli out. Love being on the lake water! 

Came back to then go out in the pontoon boat with Dennis driving.  Susan, Chris, Dennis and Patrick jumped in the water.  I thought it was just a tad too cold and stayed on the boat with dad.

After supper we headed to the corner store for ice cream. It was packed! But the ice cream is well worth it! 

I pulled out my beading.

I am close to finishing this panel. I did find a few mistakes in my word chart and trying to correct them as I go.

Having fun on the water and still Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!

What A Friday....

This morning was another one of those days I didn't want to get up....just wanted to sleep the day off. I made myself get up. I needed to get over to moms again.

I got the app for "Great Clips" and checked myself in before I left the house. Good thing I did, because when I got there, I got right in. There was another person under me. Then as she was trimming my hair, 4 more come in. She really didn't cut a lot off, but I asked her to braid my hair. I forgot it would cost me if she did, and she didn't tell me. I figured it out after I paid the bill. I gave her a tip because she was nice and did a pretty good job, but didn't cut the bangs as much as I needed them to be cut. Oh, well.

Then went and got Chia tea for both mom and me. Headed to her place. She just got back from walking the dog. I waited for her to eat and then we left to go shopping for furniture. We went to JR Furniture first. She found a recliner that she liked and could fit in it perfectly. So, we asked for one in a different color. It will be 6-8 weeks before she gets it. Patrick will pick it up since they wanted $100 to deliver it. Then we went to JJ Berries, which she bought furniture from before. We found a chair she liked but it had a bad spot on it. He offered to discount it more, but we said we would go back later. We then headed over to Rose Furniture and found a couple chairs that mom really liked. We bought 2 of them for her. My brother will be taking the 2 chairs that she's replacing them with. They will be in on Wednesday. They both are recliners as well. I really liked them and they worked great for my back as well as hers. It's a high back chair so that should work for most people close to our size. I think they will do her good.  Went back to her place and had lunch. Then we chatted and got on the computer for a little bit. I headed back home by 2 pm.

I called Cherry and we went walking. Then I came back in the house, got my spaghetti squash in the oven. Then I sat to work on my beading.

I was able to get 2 more rows done before Patrick got home. Then I messed up and got my beads on the right side all mixed up. I'm still working on putting them back where they belong. I'm enjoying this piece. I need to get more done. I'm on row 45 or 46 now.

After supper I played a few games and then wanted to practice on my handwriting.

I really like this book. 

I'm a little shaky copying the letters. I'll keep working on it. I want to get the first couple letter down then more on to the next three. It's fun. I really do enjoy doing this. 

Sophie is doing better. She's loving her medications. I pull it out and she's ready to get it. 

At least I was able to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!

I Enjoyed The Peace And Quiet

Today was a quiet day. Went walking with Cherry this morning. We got in almost 4 laps today. She's doing better walking, but she still has issues. I think she's finding more things wrong with her. But she's working at getting them taken care of when she can.

I did some laundry, then vacuumed. It was good to be able to clean a little today. I don't know what my problem was, but I was nervous pretty much most of the day. I couldn't get myself calm unless I was doing the cross stitching. Funny how I can seem to just relax at times. You'd think someone was chasing me around the house! Guess I'm loosing it at times!

I watched my "Longmeir" show and worked on my cross stitch.

I got a lot done today. I' getting there. The quilt is slowly getting done. I'm liking how close I'm getting to finishing this.

I'm not too crazy about the colors of the quilt, but I'm doing okay with it. Funny how I've changed some of the colors in this piece and I can't even think of what to trade colors with in the quilt. AND I'm a quilter! That is too funny!

My book arrived today! I'm excited about this. I can't wait to get started but I need to read it first. I love calligraphy,  This should get me started again with the hand writing. I can't wait to get started, but I want to make sure I do it right. I've been known to make a few mistakes with my handwriting. I think this will be fun - as if I don't have enough on my plate.

My trays arrived today too. These are awesome when doing beading. They make it a lot easier to pick up the beads.

We then went bowling - 9-pin no tap. I bowled a 261, 202, 171. Funny how I tend to do a big game first and then bomb in the last game. We split the wins - we got 2 and they got 2. JoAnn wasn't there tonight, so we were one person short. Patrick did really good. He got a 707 series.

Enjoying being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!!
