A Feel Good Day
A good night’s rest made for a feel good day that could be had. With Dennis’ morning to coffee with his fellows up town, I took my time getting the day started. Sometimes my pink fuzzy bathrobe and I need a bit more time to begin the rituals of the home.
Fast forward to the afternoon and I was prepared for a 1:30 coffee guest. I had not seen Bobby Moody since 1980, or there abouts. Bobby worked in the probation office of the courthouse next to our assessor’s office. Bobby had been a visitor to Orlin and I when we lived at South Branch. Bobby was interested in learning how to can vegetables and butcher chickens. She was originally from California and had met and married a fellow from St. James and was now a resident.
Bobby had not changed in personality from that long ago time. Her hair is as white as mine. Her children are now all adults as mine are. It didn’t take long for us to catch up with each other. She had recently dipped her toe into quilting as there were grandchildren to remember with a warm quilt. We did visit my sewing studio. Bobby and her husband live in a 740 square foot apartment here in town. Her comment about area for creativity made me feel so fortunate for my space. Coffee and cookies were enjoyable and perhaps there will be more visits in the future.
After Bobby left, I returned to my sewing studio. I am puttering around and am anticipating how to totally quilt my eight point pinwheel quilt in time to come. I have made samples and will be trying out different stitch patterns in time to come. In the mean time, in between time, I still have 35 pieced blocks to continue attaching together for a completed quilt top before the remainder of the steps. It’s all about puttering and I am still having a feel good day.
