The End of the Show


Okay, I promise, this is all of them. I have truly enjoyed reliving this experience.
This is called, Disappearing Garden. The use of metallic threads for quilting really changes the way these quilts look.
















This was made by a woman who was losing her sight. She said she sewed most of it with her eyes closed. My quilts just look like I had my eyes closed.

This was the 'best of show' and it was. It has tiny piecing, which I hope is paper piecing and all and all, just a beauty.

Magic Valley Symphony

Wes and I finally made it to the Magic Valley Symphony. I was pleasantly surprised by how incredible they sounded. They had a guest conductor, Jose Luis Egiluz, from Spain. All the music they did was also from Spain. They had a local acoustic guitarist, who did an excellent job with his solos. Missing from the performance was Music Director, Conductor, Ted Hadley. He had to go the High School district championship basketball game with the Pep Band. That would be his day job, not to mention the job that has a paycheck attached to it. Going to the symphony is like being at the circus for me. I just can't decide what to watch. This was a group of about 70 musicians. Some as old as my mother, while others were as young as my daughter. The concert was followed by a reception with punch and brownies. All of this for $8. All in all, a very pleasant evening. We started going to the Symphony in Stockton. Beginning band has killing our sense of what music was, so, I decided we deserved to he...

To Tired to be Retired

Image
Well, it finally felt like a retirement week. It was good. I did end up sick and had to visit the doctor.  Truth is I'm a little unsettled about Trump meeting with Putin and I can't help but wonder what will happen this week.  Anyone who knows me knows that I think Putin owns Trump. I'm not sure what happened but I pray that those two haven't  started WWIII.   I don't usually write about politics here, but it's on my mind.  God bless us all.

Last Week....for Wes

Image
It seems weird not to be going to work tomorrow, but  I'm okay with that.  I usually write my favorite Summer memories, however, I have some more Summer left in me.  So here is what we did this week. We started this kitchen re-do years ago.  To be honest, I wasn't sure about the paint, but with the tile, I felt better.  The best thing we did was change the lights. What a difference it made.  To be honest, Wes did the work. Me, I took walks and enjoyed not worrying about ending Summer. I do have some ideas for that post, but not today.  Good time of year to walk around town. Or sit on the deck and read...    Let's hope this retirement thing works because I don't want to go back to work....
