Good Morning, it is cold this morning, only 33*, time to bring inside my plants, hopefully, they didn't get too cold last night.  It is completely still outside this morning, a few leaves are fluttering.

Devonne, loved your quilted piece, it is so lovely, so nice some of you can still quilt, miss it so much!!  Don't have anything to say this morning, so will sign off, wishing you all well, BJ.

ITS DONE.   MY 'BATS ALOFT' IS FINISHED.

ITS ON MY DOOR. FINISHED AT 12 BY 15.5 INCHES.  
I AM GLAD THAT IS DONE.  NOW TO REST SOME AND COOK LATER.
STAY SAFE.
HUGS,
QB S

[size=125]GOOD AFTERNOON!

MOST OF PLANS FOR THIS AFTERNOON GELL BY THE WAYSIDE. LIFE GETS IN THE WAY SOMETIMES.

PRINTED PUT A DAMPLE BALLOT FOR OUR ELECTION. WANT TO VOTE EARLY AND HOPE DS#2 WILL TAKE US.  OUR ENTIRE STATE LEGISLATURE IS UP FOR LECTION. DON'T KNOW HO OFTEN THAT HAPPENS. SOME COUNTY OFFICES DON'T HAVE AN OPPONENT AND SOME DO, SO WANT TO DO A LITTLE RESEARCH. HAD TO MAHY SURPISES COME ELECTION DAY. GO FRUSTRATED WHEN I TRIED TO DO SOME SEARCHING ON LOCAL NEWS STATION'S WBSITE. GOT SOME CONSTITUTIOANL CHANGES BUT THEY WERE FOR5 LOUSIANAA. NOT VOTING ON THOSE ISSUES.

THE NEWS IS DEPRESSING. I AM HAVING TO LIMIT MYSELF. PRAYERS ARE MUCH NEEDED FOR THOUSE IN OUR COUNTRY AS WELL AS THE WORKD.

WE ARE HAVING HIGHER TEMPERATURES THAN NORMAL. NICE AND I AM ENJOYING. DIDN'T TURN THE AIR BACK ON, BUT DO HAVE THE CELING FAN GOING HERE IN THE FAMILY ROOM. THIS IS SUPPOSED TP BE THE PEAK FOR FALL COLORS IN THE AREA. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE COLDER THAN AVERAGE NEXT WEEK. HOPE WE CAN ALL STAY WELL WITH ALL THE CHANGES.

SANDRA. G;AD YOU FINISHED YOUR BAT ALOFT WALL HANGING. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR WALL HANGING TOO DEVONNE.

JANET, HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME AT THE RETREAT. THINK FORMER MEMBER OF THE SEWING GUILD HELD SOME CLASSES THERE. I DID CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE. ON A VIDEO, RECONIZED TWO PEOPLE. ONE A LOCAL POLITIIAN AND THE OTHER A FORMER LOCAL NEWSCASTER. HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GO TO ONE OF BRENDA'S AT THE BEACH SOMETIME. LOVE THE LOCATION AND I AM SURE THE FOOD IS GREAT. SHE TOLD ME I COULD COME AND NOT SEW. DON'T THINK I WOULD LIKE THAT. HOPE YOU CAN CHECK OUT HER PHOTOS ON FACEBOOK SOMETIME.

GOOD NEWS ON THE EYES. GUESS I WAS LUCKY ON THE CATARACT SURGEERIES. DARRELL IS REALLY DREADING HAVING HIS DONE.

YEARS AND YEARS AGO, MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER HAD CONRNEA TRANSPLANTS. SHE HAD 6 IN ALL. THE NEW CONRENAS EVENTURALLY WERE DAMAGED BY THE CONDITION THAT COUSED HER TO NEED THEM. IT DID GIVE HER SOME BETTER VISION FOR A GOOD WHILE. ALL IN OUR FAMILY BECAME CONREA DONORS.

WISHING EVERYONE WELL.

THINKING OF ALL. PRAYERS...............................................[/size]



 

YES HOLLY, THAT'S GOOD NEWS.  IN A DUMPSTER WHERE HE BELONGS.  DID HIMSELF IN AND RIGHTLY SO.  SAVES THE COUNTY LOTS OF MONEY AGAINST A TRIAL.

DEVONNE......YES, I SATIN-STITCH ALL THE PIECES IN MY WORKS.  EVEN THE SMALL BITS.  IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME BUT WORTH IT.  I LOVE THE EFFECT OF BLACK SATIN-STITCHING.

I MADE MY POTATO PANCAKES LAST NITE.  MMM GOOD.  ENOUGH FOR TODAY AS WELL.

LOVELY DAY HERE TODAY.  SUN IS SHINING AND ANOTHER DAY IN THE 70S.  TOO HOT FOR ME.  MY WINDOWS ARE OPEN AND THE FANS ARE GOING BUT STILL TOO WARM.  LUCKILY I HAVE A COUPLE OF SMALL PERSONAL FANS AROUND MY NECK TO HELP COOL ME DOWN.
MY PUTER IS GIVING ME HEADACHES.  FOR SOME REASON I CANNOT SEND ATTACHMENTS IN MY EMAILS.  FUNNY.  I THINK I WILL JUST SHUT HER DOWN LATER TODAY AND SEE IF THAT HELPS.  FOR NOW I HAVE SITES TO VISIT AND NEED MY EMAILS OPEN FOR MY SON TO GET IN TOUCH.  HE IS COMING TODAY TO GET MY PHONE ORGANIZED.  I HOPE I HAVE IT UP AND RUNNING BY TONITE.  WISH ME LUCK.
I AM THANKFUL FOR GOOD FOOD FOR MY TABLE.
I AM THANKFUL FOR GOOD KIDS.
I AM THANKFUL FOR GOOD NEIGHBORS WHO CHECK EACH OTHER TO SEE IF WE ARE DOING OK.

HUGS, QB S

Linda, please tell Darrell I was also dreading cataract surgery. They put drops in your eyes and you don't feel anything. You lay on a table and it's over before you know it. Of course, it's not always so easy for everyone, but my doctor said it's very few.

Sandra, I've seen fabric pieces attached in so many ways. I've seen them glued on, pinned on & heat and bond used a lot. One lady said she pins her pieces on and "free motions the h---- out of it," lol. 

I have an angus beef sirloin tip roast in the crockpot with carrots, onions and potatoes. This is my first "angus beef" roast. The hamburger I had at Jeffersons was angus beef & it was the best hamburger I've ever had, so this should be really good. 

​I still have rotisserie chicken left over from Sams. I'm going to have it for lunch and give some to Molly and Gracie.

I decided to groom them myself. Gracie got herself in a mess, so I had to do it anyway. They feel so much better, but I'm not quite finished. Molly looked at me as if to say "thank you." I'll get Dee to come and trim their toenails.

Have any of you heard of the Social Security Expansion Act proposed by Bernie Sanders? If it were to pass, each SS recipient would get an extra $200 a month ($2,400 a year). This would mean I could get a better car & not worry about the payment. It hasn't passed though, but I have my fingers & toes crossed!

Sandra, hooray! I love keeping the same number. Hope you get used to all the new features. Way to go, Matt!

Here's a picture of Sadie Grace. She definitely has an attitude to be only 4 yrs old. Shhh.....her mom has one too, lol.
