No Quilting this Week

I have not been quilting this week because I had to make ls a dress to go the dance. I have said it before and I will say it again, construction is my first love. I love it when the sleeve fits in and and the zipper lines up. She picked out the fabric and we settled on a pattern on Tuesday night. Since I worked all week, I was happy to have it all together in time for the big date.


In my quilt group, we give each other a little do-dad for Christmas. I was not ready for that meeting and told them I would get mine out for Valentines day. I made these little pincushions. They were super easy and cost about $ .50. Can't beat that.

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.
