July

I feel like I have now made up for all the time I did not use quilting last summer;
I loved making this and thinking of Aunt Verna and my childhood.


I have started to work on the needle turn applique.
I was thinking about taking a lesson to learn how to do it, 
but I watch some tutorials on YouTube instead.


And I am working on the quilting of this one.
Sometimes I just really like to hand quilt.


I have some plans to get out of the house soon.
As for my family, they are busy and happy.

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.

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.
