Fleeting Thoughts:
Fixing meals is highly overrated. What is actually needed in a sedentary day?

Reflections: a great result of cleaning.
The house has been tidied; the grass doesn’t need mowing. My sewing table and craft area has been clean long enough, I am getting the itch.
Sometimes when I think the joy in my life has been diminished, it only allows me to become more aware of life and the loved ones around me who take me as I am; the joy returns twofold.
Twenty years ago today, on a bright Saturday, Carrie and Kevin were witnesses for Dennis and me to get married. Dennis and I came together to make a home in 1989. With serious blue eyes looking at me, my Mom had made the comment that she could hate the sin but still love the sinners. It just may have had a bit to do with our decision. It was a great decision.
Dennis came down to the sewing room this afternoon to take a “look see.” The quilt top is getting down to the very last border around the perimeter. I have some black leftovers to trim it out. I will need 340″ in total length for the four sides. Tomorrow, I will be brave and take a look at how much black there is . . . enough for a 3″ wide x 340″ length, would be ideal. No good will come about in a quilt project unless you do the math before you cut.
As my days progress, not all memories come flooding that are sweet and fond. Today I was working on some sewing and I allowed my mind to wander into some dark pools. It didn’t take long for the good Lord to speak to me. I ended up ripping out the same seam twice. Enough said Lord.
My thoughts about Donald Trump: he has enough money and resources behind him to say out loud, what most Americans are thinking. Sometimes “plain speak” is needed.
I cannot imagine living without frequent contact with family. It feeds my soul.
Accepting rather than expecting is harder than first thought.
