Lazy Day.

I just had a very lazy day today.  It was sunny, but a bit chilly so I chatted away the entire morning texting with a friend.

I ran a couple little errands, sending off the Valentine Day cards for Kristen and Dane.  I put a five dollar bill in each in honor of Abraham Lincoln's birthday.  I wonder if they even know about Abe having his own birthday since it was rolled into Presidents' Day long before their time.

I did some sewing.  I have been inspired by Linda and by Rian and their table top projects.  I like a small project like this that is finished in an afternoon.  Well, it is not quite finished yet.  I still need to hand stitch the binding to the back.

  1. Lazy days are good, Olga. Thanks for the mention. You are probably a much better quilter than me. I'm a novice, but enjoying the process. My friend came over today and we worked on the doggie quilt. She even left her sewing machine for me to use (if I'm brave enough to go it alone). What are you going to do with your little quilt? Did you have a place in mind when you made it?

    1. I put it on my counter for a place to put the coffee pot.

  2. Very pretty! I'm curious too, how you will use it.

    I'm looking forward to the weekend, although there is some housework the curling will be on so I'll have lots of time to be lazy and just sit and knit.

    Enjoy the sun!

  3. Well, I'm glad to be a good influence! Your project looks great. I have been wasting a lot of time these days, getting up late and getting a very slow start. Then I run out of time at the end of the day. Oh well, It's my list, my agenda, and I guess I can change it if I want to.
    I actually worked outside in the yard for two hours today, since it was about 60 degrees. I got mosquito bites on the back of my neck. Grrr.

  7. How productive of you. I have been known to totally fritter away a chilly day. Nice work. Florida has some nippy days coming, stay warm and busy.

  8. Lazy days here are days when there is no snow to shovel. I love them. A bit nippy here too, 18 F out with a balmy breeze making it feel like 6 F. Going down to -2 tomorrow night. Happy Valentine's Day.

  11. That's a very pretty table topper or something to put a bowl on. It must cheer up the room it's placed in. You are very neat in your sewing. I should get out my sewing machine and do something. Mending or whatever. I haven't done anything creative in a long time.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
