Needed Errands that Burn up the Highway
Megan and Nicholas with Grandpa Dennis and Grammie
Dennis and I have had one busy week complete with supporting the petroleum companies as the Lincoln has headed east, north and south getting errands done while the weather has been accommodating. With the completion of a quilting project it was the perfect time to get the Model 1802 Kenmore sewing machine tuned up before the next batch of lint, fuzz and thread that would begin floating through the home. Bird Island, MN is the home of Karen’s Quilt Shop. In the back room Karen’s hubby Allen is a master at tuning up sewing machines. We will be ready to wind up those bobbins and let the motor begin humming.
That humming was put on hold as we made a trip to the Veteran’s Hospital in Minneapolis. Did you feel the earth shake? Hubby Dennis voluntarily turned himself in for a hearing test. Happy days! Time will tell how this will turn out. It was the first step of a few to address the problem. A trip to Minneapolis is not complete without a stop to see daughter Carrie and grand kids Megan and Nicholas. I never get tired of getting hugs. Priceless.
After getting a message on the phone from the Old Alley Quilt Shop Great Grandma Laura’s butterflies headed to the long arm quilter for Sharon to work her magic. After 48 years the butterflies are going to be in their glory as a king sized quilt. It is exciting to be able to honor all of Laura’s handiwork. It was decided to quilt around the butterflies and allow them to be the centerpiece within each square. I am excited to get the next phone call from Sharon.
Dennis and I are very happy about the week’s endeavors and now we can begin pulling together ideas for the Christmas lists. Ho-Ho-Ho!
