Useless Information

I thought this was an interesting bit of information.

Note that they are consecutive numbers. This will never happen again.

NANNIE

Two days a week I have the pleasure of driving to the beautiful state of West Virginia to spend the day with my youngest granddaughter. We have lots of fun together and she fills the house with her contagious laughter. She just turned two in January and is full of energy so when it is nap time, this Nannie also needs a nap. But nap or no nap by the time her mommy and daddy arrive home from work this old body is tired. I look forward to a nice warm dinner, cooked by my darling husband, and a couple of hours to relax while hand quilting. Last night I watched this

one of the best movies ever made. Life is good.

The Weekend

The weekends fly by so quickly especially when your time is spent with loved ones. Today we attended a birthday dinner for our oldest granddaughter. She will be 20 at the end of the month but circumstances necessitated that we celebrate early. What a wonderful dinner, cooked by my girls. It always tastes better when someone else cooks it.

Here are my oldest granddaughters, with the birthday girl in the middle. I can't believe how grown up they are.

This is what I've been working on this week. It will be a lap quilt for my mother-in-law who is confined to a wheelchair for an undetermined amount of time. I will attach a small gold border,

then another border of blue. I haven't even picked out the fabric yet, just trying to use up my stash.

I have been lax in blogging and will try to do better. Y'all have a good one and thanks for stopping by.
