Busy Saturday

Up early today. Guess I'll sew a couple seams on the quilt back. Pool time. Small group on Saturday's. Kind of lazy in the morning. Enjoying my faster speed on the Inet and playing around. Made a "Smilebox" slideshow of the quilt show and posted that. Hope you enjoyed seeing some of the quilts. Always inspirational-sometimes think my quilts are pretty boring compared to some of the artsy ones. Called some home-home (Chip Falls) friends of my brother. They just live down the street from me. They moved to Mesa from Benson, AZ for March and better weather. Will meet them for supper Sunday night. Keep forgetting to tell about a car I saw the other day. Small Toyota-painted yellow. Was an exterminator company. Had a big mouse tail out the center of the back bumper. Also had 2 black ears that flopped in the wind on the roof. I never saw the front end to see if it had whiskers-I'm sure it did. Pretty good marketing tool!
Between working on the slideshow, I laid out the blocks for the Rte 66 top. Took a couple pics to see if anything glared at me. Kept going back to it and changing out a few blocks. Went to the social hall for the Wood Workers cookout. All the clubs do fundraisers for equipment or updates for their areas. The WoodWorkers have a hamburger cookout. I wasn't too far from home when I could smell them. Hmmm good. Burger, fixings, chips, baked beans for $5. Not bad! Soda extra-maybe that was another club. Went to sit by the pool to finish my drink. Saw Blanche sitting there so went to join her. She's one of the pool ladies-86 and very welcoming. Is sure to say it's good to see you back today if you miss a day. Her 90 yr hubby was in the pool with another guy. they were working on some back exercises. Blanche was telling me about owning at Carriage Manor. You own the unit and the lot. Most others, you own the unit and continually rent the lot. Home owners fees are $148/month. Phone and electric are extra. She said it costs about $2500/year for the fees. A couple months of renting it out pays the fees. Hmmm....there is a unit for sale for $45K. Must be something wrong with it. Looked it up online later, but there's a sale pending. Oh good, I'm safe.
Wanted some music so finally downloaded itunes on the laptop and took some songs off my little ipod. Certainly isn't high quality stereo from the laptop, but better than nothing. Kept working on the quilt top. Had all 6 rows pieced together so I could sleep in bed! Had some leftover wine during the last 2 rows. Wasn't as good as when uncorked. Watched a little late nite TV. Lights out.
