Around the World.....

Dad used to say "That guy would go around the world to get across the street!"  Well, that's just about what it took for me to be able to put this photo up... lol   But here it is, the photo of the quilt fabric I'm trying to work with.  I love the lemons and am trying to find a way to use bigger pieces to keep from losing them in the fray.  

Good morning! August is Here...

Got up this morning and felt absolutely perky!  Couldn't figure it out until I went for my coffee, looked out the back door and our thermometer said 68°!  Amazing!  Maybe it will hold until 10am anyway..lol  

Not much on the agenda these days.  Covid restrictions still apply here in Altus with the Mayor stating that they are following over 500 cases at this point.  That does not mean that they are positive tests, just that the test results are pending.  

I regret to say that I take most of my photos with my phone now...and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get them uploaded to my pc... hmmpphhh  But I'll work on it some more...I'm sure it'll come to me eventually..lol

I came across this clipping a while back...and my heart melted.  When I was 15, I went to work at Kengle Hospital and worked with my mom...second from right...and all these wonderful ladies..and Dr. Kengle of course.. for my high school years.  What memories this brought..

I've been in a funk for the last few weeks (thank you Covid) and haven't had much interest in anything. But... I feel much better today and have decided to have a go at the quilt I've been trying to put together for a week or so.  Hard to decide how to use this fabric and keep from completely losing the wonderful lemon pattern on the fabric.  I'll figure out a way to get a photo to put up...

In the meantime, I've so very much enjoyed my cup of coffee, the quiet and cool morning, my tiny dogs rubbing my ankles saying good morning and the sun shining thru the white curtains on the window.  I hope your day is warm and wonderful.. 

 

Our Journey Thru Covid 19

February was our last normal month here in Altus, OK.  Overnight it was mandated to wear masks....that have been proven not to work.. our stores closed...we could not find meat, bread, fruit.. our stores were empty.  Restaurants were closed to indoor patrons.  To survive they had to start a delivery service or pick up at the door service.  It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in this lifetime.  

And..it's a lttle warm.  I thought the heat was supposed to kill off the virus..but I guess that doesn't work with the Democrats trying to waylay the election... anyway...enough of that. 

Hope you are having wonderful days.. 

Good morning! This is a test post!

Once upon a time, a long time ago ...my father, my brother and I lived in a small adobe house like this one.  I loved it.  It was very cool inside and besides..it was a great place to play cowboys and Indians.   We didn't live there long, but it left a lasting memory for me.. More about that later.  :)
