For A Retired Person I Sure Am Busy

OK—this is really starting to be unfair Smile!  Ms. Peggy strolls over this afternoon and tells me the Port Lavaca quilt shop called to inform her she won their gift basket.  Her husband was kind enough to drive over with her to retrieve this basket—holy smokes—you should have seen all the goodies!!!  Patterns, fat quarter bundles, thread, gadgets—a real score!!!  Now I am the only person out of our little group yesterday to not win something—maybe I will win the big prize—the Janome sewing machine!! Smile

It was just another day of go, go for me.  It started at 4:30 this morning when Michael got up and found our air conditioners running???  It was 45 degrees outside and almost that cold inside, why were the air conditioners running??  I have often said our thermostat is devil possessed and I think it really is.  When I got up to see if I could help him figure out what was going on we neither one could get the furnace mode to appear on the thermostat.  I just started the heat strips for him so it would warm up and went back to bed.  When I got up I finally managed to get “furnace” to appear on the stupid control panel—ah, warm air!  The hydro hot heating system won’t run without the “furnace” being set on the thermostat control panel. 

Off to the park for Emmi and me—we walked 2 miles and played a little basketball.  Back home I began working on Jane’s quilt and finished it about 2pm.  Squared Jane’s next quilt backing before going over to Mom’s.  She and Chuck have settled into their RV quite nicely. 

Homemade pizza for supper tonight.  Our mail came today—I think I need to get it sent more often, it took me forever to go through all that stuff!  Lots of tax documents, that’s good and lots of new reading material—magazines, etc.

What’s up with all the spam lately???  Blogger Dashboard was catching all mine—I was keeping my spam folder in Blogger Dashboard emptied as Rick suggested—but the last few days, I’ve gotten at least one per day.  Mike McFall had his email and Facebook account hacked yesterday.  Dirt bags!!! 

And as Vera so nicely pointed out, it was Mary Lou who originally came up with the idea of “Quilt Studio” for the trailer—so Quilt Studio it is!
