Quilting Stuff.

just finished cat quilt for granddaughter . Now starting wedding quilt for other granddaughter. Purple is her favorite color so that is what it is. Stopped to make pink quilt for niece Kelcy .

Minnesota, Nicer.

Well things are looking up. Went to coffee again yesterday.everyone was really nice. Getting to know me I guess. Told me about a card I get at the local Church thrift shop to get free clothes becuse I'm a senior. Not that I need clothes but what the heck .I'm sure I can find something I like.
    Jezebel and I went for our walk this morning. She is easier to walk after a rain ,she doesn't have to sniff everything.She doesn't like wet grass or maybe the rain has washed all the good smells away.
    Going to KFC for lunch .Yum.

Sunshine😊

Something I love about MN sunshine. After spending 30 years in damp Toledo Ohio it's a pleasure to
live  somewhere that the sun shines most of the time. Yeah it's cold in the winter but still sunny.
   Have the blocks done for Kelcey's quilt now just have to wail for the fabric I ordered for the borders.
Ordered a Sauder sewing cabinet today . I
hope it's strudyand doesn't vibrate when the machine runs.
   Lisa told me she recived the hats.glad she liked them . So sweet of her to thank me. Patty loves to make them but gets discouraged with some that don't bother with a thank you.

Worrying Does Help.

Erma Bombeck once said " don't tell me worrying doesn't help, because most things I worry about never happen"
 True words.
 Yesterday found out Housekeeper for X had quit six weeks ago and no one had bothered to replace her. I lay in bed worrying and not sleeping until 5;30AM .  Picturing him and his dogs living in squalor  I almost jumped out of bed grapped my purse and drove 800 miles to Toledo to kick butts and take names. Thank goodness I didn't.
   I talked to Brent this morning .he and Cheri had gone over cleaned the bathrooms and floors and did his laundry.  Brent said the housekeeper was not doing a very good job anyway because some of the dirt had been there for a while. He said they will go over every couple weeks . With Nick there to cook for him he should be OK.
Brent said the rug in George's bedroom rug is pretty much toast from the dogs. So I ordered another one. $150. For a 9x 12 . If I have to buy one every six moths that's fine.
 The lawn service did a good job too.So for now things are under control.
 Perhaps I can sleep to night.

Tall People.

Besides being very thin the people here in MN are quite tall.  Not  saying everyone is tall but many are much more than MI. And Ohio. Perhaps the Nordic ancestry.
    Very depressed today family pressures. I wonder what it's like to be an orphan .no relatives breathing down your neck.
    I took Colleen to do laundry Mon.  Thu to the clinic to get a pre- op physical,  Fri Bill and I took her to a Pre-op Dr.'s appointment. This morning she wanted me  to take her to Buffalo. My answer "No". Enough already. No good deed goes unpunished. I am not her taxi. I didn't  drive until I was twenty five and never ask people to drive me. I  took busses and walked. I puzzles me that she can think I am here
 to cart her around. Geez I told Bill I will take her once a week. That includes appointment, for gosh sake I have my own life.
   

Land of the Midnight Sun.

I am amazed how long the days are already and it's only April. I'm guessing it's because we are so far north. Pretty cool.
 Took Colleen to the laundry mat yesterday. It was a hell march. She doesn't know where she's going but thinks she does is telling me where to go and I who know nothing know better.
   While Collen was washing I went to senior day at the Penny Wise Thrift Shop. Found would u believe 13 more Bratz dolls.I have a laundry basket full now. But have to get Kelsey's quilt done first. Got a few blocks done today, so making a little progress. If I didn't have to drive Colleen somewhere every other day. I could get more done.But she pays me so I can't complain.

Coffe With the Residents.

   My next door neighbor Shirley knocked on my door about 10;25 Thru. asking me to join the ladies for coffee. I would not have gone again had she not ask me. But since she did I went down .Everyone was especially nice and from the conversation I have the feeling Shirely planned the whole thing, urging people to attend , knowing how I was recived last time. And because a couple people peeked in and noted it was a large crowd. Well that is fine and anyway it was nice and everyone was kind and friendly. Ice broken.
   I am still working on the Makedown dolls. Love doing it but I'm a bit intimidated by the eyes .  I am getting better, practice , practice  practice .
   My sis Patty insisted I make quilt for Kelsey as a wedding gift. It will be a rush. But I think it's doable. Just will take time from my dolls. 😩  Christie's quilt will have to wait for a while, but I have until  Dec. Fishing season is getting close so I will have to slow down.
