Hi All
First, if you can spare good safety thoughts, prayers, juju, stars aligned, or whatever, Bert and I would certainly welcome it for the next two weeks. Our son has a friend that bought a motorbike in DC, had it trailerd to San Diego, and volunteered to DRIVE, YES DRIVE it all the way back to Anchorage for his friend. If that isn't enough to put parents in permanent worry mode, apparently after the bike was bought and before it was shipped it was used by the seller, and used hard, and is now in a state of disrepair, so we have to worry that the bike will not break down on the way up here. The next two days worry us the most as he has to get through/past LA. Dear me, I'll be blue from holding my breath for two days.
Anyways, school is over, the democratic state convention is over, the bathroom FINALLY got finished, the company has arrived and departed, participation in the pridefest parade is over, Bert has a cold, and we leave for our travels in a week.
I got a fair bit of hand quilting done over the last two weeks. I just needed some down time between all the activities and meetings and put some funny movies in and quilted away. The company had traveled around the state for a few days and then settled in for the rest of their time up here with us. They wanted to visit sites of interest in the morning, hike in the afternoon and relax in the evening so while we talked, I got the hand quilting out. I just can't sit. So, a UFO is well on its way to not being a UFO. The last part will be yucky though since it is a small hexagon wallhanging and I will be doing the edge as a knife edge, not a binding. That will be a first and should be a challenge.
Also trying to get some hand projects around for the travels and get some computer work done so busy times continue.
I've been following along but not been posting much, but good vibes out to everyone, we're all so busy with summer and the usual. Everyone, stay safe.
