meeting day

So Blogger isn't playing nice today or rather the web rings aren't. Always something. My computer was being a bit tempermental last evening and again this morning prompting some uninstall/reinstall. I was late leaving the house for our meeting this morning and then even later when I stopped to pick up some binding fabric from one Belle and some quilts from another--both were unable to come today. Fortunately, no one was waiting for me to unlock the door.

For various reasons we were a little sparse on people today but we got 6 quilts pinned. One of them my own personal project, believe it or not-my 30's Sampler. I'm still debating about the hand quilting part. With all those pins in there and as large as it is, it weighs a ton!!

That is the 47 quilts piled up in my room---the closet shelf is just as packed. I' ve got three more to quilt-- a few more are out for binding. I am taking a bunch of these over to Linda S' house this week as she has an empty closet we can put them in. I don't think I can go much higher with the ones on the hamper without it toppling.

So who is this fellow, you ask? Chico is the neighborhood tom cat. Belongs to the people across the lane whose house you see in the right of the photo. DJ had just told me that he saw him roaming around in our backyard and "thank heavens, he is not on my car" No sooner than he got those wrods out of his mouth......there he was. He hid while DJ fired up the lawn mower but as soon as he got away from the drive, back up he went. I got the shock of my life one day when I had inadverently left the window down on my previous vehicle, opened the door and he was laying on the floor by the brake pedal. Pretty fellow but Pippi could care less about him. DJ keeps telling me about the mice he has seen in the backyard near the kudzu---wish Chico would get busy mousing instead of lounging on cars, LOL.

Some paperwork awaits, bills to pay--even cleaned a bunch of paper out of my desk drawer before supper.
