Well, what’s a body to do when I said I was taking the day off. I did listen to the news and abided by the advice that all older people should stay indoors if possible. I could work with that. I put away one of my main pet peeves when working at sewing projects. I sorted through my stick pins and threw away all the bent ones. It happens when I force pins through multi layers and, yup, there the bent suckers are to be picked up again only to be passed over. Out they went. May not seem like a worthy thing to do with my time. Believe me . . . butt deep in a project that needs to be kept in place there may be only one chance to secure it before it slips into a do-over.

Dennis’ nephew, Brett, texted, and texted – complete with photos. Finally he came over and needed a sounding board. He is anticipating purchasing a long arm quilter on Craig’s List. We checked over the spec info, compared what there was on eBay, and then checked some more. The compete purchase package at $1,300 seems too good to be true. It would not surprise me if he doesn’t make a trip to Bloomington in the next several days. A fellow with a seasonal concrete business that likes to stay busy. I like that. Better than the bars, pull tabs, or casinos.
