Relaxing

Today was a relaxing day for us - though the original plan was to stuff a lot more into it.  First I went to Linda's to help her finish the quilt for her first grandchild who has moved up his arrival date.  The sailboats come from a paper pieced pattern that I created just for this quilt - I think they are very cute.  I thought I'd be able to get the binding on in less than 2 hours, but instead it took four.  Nothing ever goes as quickly as planned.  It was worth it - this is certainly a special one-of-a-kind quilt for what is sure to be a one-of-a-kind grandchild...  I always enjoy time spent with Linda and Ron.  Not to mention, they always feed me so well.  We followed the quilting with beer-chicken right off the grill.

Then Linda, Gimme and me went to the fort to walk 3 miles.  Gimme thoroughly enjoyed herself running about.  Her hobby these days is to find and enlarge the entrances to all the mouse holes in those fields.  She expects one day that her efforts will be "rewarded".  Linda got these pictures...

I feel so blessed to have such a great place to walk with my girl and my friends. 

The sky was a particularly pretty blue today...
