Name Tag

 Name tag for the Quilt Plano show 

is almost finished. 

(I am sewing the binding)

It has been completely sewn by hand

and the show is next weekend.

Have a happy day.

Love you beyond the moon.

 Yesterday was a ridiculous day. 

I had to go to the lab to have my blood panels done but the DR forgot to send the order over to the lab.

I had to come home, call the DR and then go back to Plano General to have the blood-work done.

(In the meanwhile Larry and I

 had about 10 assorted chores to do)

But...when I came home, minorly agitated....

the mailman had come with a letter from my dear friend Zach. Zach lives in Manchester, UK and is the most wonderful and kind person.

Dear Zach.

 You made my day! I adore REAL letters. There is something endearing 

about reading someone's handwriting....

Happy weekend.

Love you beyond the moon.

August 6

 Today is my Mother's birthday. 

When she died, 

she left me with the idiots.

So many mothers are the glue 

that holds a family together. 

My wonderful Mom was 

that kind of person.

She was kind, smart, 

creative, her favorite color 

was orange, and her name was

 Grace, and that describes 

her exactly.

I miss her every day and try to share stories about her often,

 there are so many GREAT 

stories about this

 amazing lady...

Mother, I love and miss you.

My Gift

 After dinner last night,

 Larry watered the flowers in the garden.

I was reading when 

he came in the house saying...

Rob, I have something for you!

Yes, it was a tiny toad.

I said hello

and Larry took him (immediately) back outside.

Happy Wednesday.

Love you beyond the moon.

The Best Thing

 On Sunday, I tried a new recipe.

It was super easy, healthy and delicious.

The best part of the dinner is the picture.

Just kidding.....

Happy Tuesday.

Love you beyond the moon.

 We have cats in the neighborhood.

Their owners let them run loose

and

other neighbors feed then.

(Larry and I do not feed the stray cats)

It is always fun for neighborhood people 

until the cats get sick.

I wish the people who randomly feed the cats

would take them to the Vet when 

they begin to get ill.

Above is Magic. He is very old, 

his fur is falling out and

he loves to pose.

Love you beyond the moon.
