Well all most Thanksgiving0

I had decided I just wouldn't do thanksgiving this year. I still wasn't on top of my game. So it was a disappointment for the kids, but they took it upon themselves to come here and do the cooking and the clean up. So next thursday we will will have Thanksgiving I just won't be doing ads much work.

I am 80% better, but I just need to get over the hump. I have gone to the store to buy groceries by myself, but the scooter in the store gets used. I guess that is what they are for.

The granddaughters came yesterday for a couple hours and they were busy. But we got through it. The three year old has such funny explanations of how things happen at her house. We just sit and laugh at her.

Six more weeks for the new little one to arrive. So I had better get well quickly. Hope you have a Great weekend. Chris

Dust and adjusting

This has been on my dining room table for two months. I am embarrassed to say. I have picked up a stack here and there and made sure bills were paid, but the leftover just sits.

I really need to get some sewing done with a new baby on the way. 7 Weeks and we ill have a new baby in the Family.

As many of you have said on your blogs your election experience was different than what you expected. No candidate was perfect for sure.

I really hope life gets calmed down and the World can resume somewhat Normal place.

I am going to try and get some things done today. But don't hold your breath. Chris

I'm improving.

I finally am turning the corner and starting to feel better. Been a long slow journey to get this far.

Well the election is over. The name calling and the mudslinging hopefully is over, but time will tell. Maybe isn't the outcome you wanted, but I think the voice of America was heard. Change had to come.

I am  not optimistic this will be the answer. I honestly think the complete change will never happen as long as the Good Old Boy Society remains in place a length of term isn't changed to a certain amount of time.

This is my opinion and not forcing it onto you. Trying to be optimistic the transistion will go smooth and we Don't show the World we are in-fighting here in the USA. Chris

Nov. 1st

The girls in their costumes. Kate was a cow and autumn a pumpkin. They were in a Halloween parade and then yesterday they went to their Great Grandma's to visit with her.

The last couple years they were here. 

In the 70's today and sun is out. Enjoy the Fall weather. Chris

Loosing it

I am ok, but not great. As a caregiver I let myself go instead of eating correctly and getting out to do keep myself active. Now I am paying the price.

I haven't stitched a single stitch in over a month. I am starting to eat a little better, but have a long way to go to be right again.

I have been trying to stay focused on doing the right thing. Take care Chris

Blogger and honesty

Yes I am around. Improving slowly, but not as fast as I would like to. Suppose to go to a birthday party today, but I am not sure I will attend. They all know I have been sick.

As I read through blogger comments left on others blogs and questions asked by the bloggers I scratch my head and wonder why would you open yourself up to that type of criticism.

Recently I read a blog of a talented duo and the question was trying to answer why they who design their own patterns always make another designers patterns and don't promote their own more. They were asking for opinions.

Needless to say I opened my big mouth and suggested they were selling themselves short. Then I got all the excuses of work outside the quilting business, Love of family, Just to busy to work that hard at it.

I then was raked over the coals the next post openly that I didn't understand. So if you have all these answers why are you asking the questions. I guess truth hurts.

This duo is very talented and could do well on their own designs and never have to look back.

Sorry to say we only restrict ourselves. Not saying anything else. Chris

Told you I wasn't feeling well.

I have been flat on my back in bed, but Stomach issues and I just am a mess. Starting to correct itself with some urging.

I have a family issue with this trouble and yet I fall into this dead zone off and on and I need to get this straightened out.

My Mother, Son and two granddaughters all have this issue. Not fun. Hopefully in a few days I will be better. Chris
