This is my son 2 years ago.

This is my son in May of this year.

This was my son Saturday night after a few beers.

This was my son Sunday. I am glad that he got rid of the stringy mop he had 2 years ago but did he have to go this far? He works in a plastic factory and he thought his hair was too hot. Nice and easy to take care of. Speaking of my son, he got his GED last summer and in May did the graduation ceramony. They only have it once a year and he missed it last summer.

I have been working on a quilt from Pat Speth's Nickle Quuilts book, here is my four patch and my picket fence units. I needed 144 of each and when I did the four patchs I didn't get my brain around the directions enough to grasp what I needed to do. I didn't think that the way you do them makes 2 at a time so instead of doing 72 I did 144 which made 288. I guess I have a good start on my next Nickle Quilt. My secret sister picked this quilt for me to do this year. I have a good start on it. I only have to do the flying geese yet and then I will be able to start putting the blocks together. It will be a queen size when it is done.

I am doing my guilds BOM this year and this was June's block. I used the no waste method for making my flying geese. I don't think I will ever do them the other way again. This way was so easy and I didn't have to decide what to do with those leftover triangles. I did make a mistake when I put the block together, the geese is flying the wrong way. They should be going in instead of going out. I am not changing them though.

Grandson Nick crawled under the bunkbeds to unplug his fan last week and somehow fell asleep. When I asked him why he slept that way he said it was really comfy under there. Go figure we buy them bunkbeds and they sleep on the floor. Why did we spend money on beds?

You know how it is when you are moving things you find things that you forgot you had? Well this glass was like that. I also have a smaller one too. A friend got them for me in her travels.Do you remember Kare. I had put them up for when the barn got done and I found them when I was moving things out there. I use the big one every night. Thank you, Kare.
We took the cover off of the pool last Friday and discovered that the liner is coming out of its holder. I am now draining the water out so I can maybe get it back in. I hope I can because I can't buy a new liner right now.
