This'n That
Just like the title says, you'll find a little bit of this and that- a little quilting, a little sewing, a little bit of machine embroidery, and maybe even some watermelon recipes.

Hurricane Irene
First an earthquake. Next came Hurricane Irene. Luckily, my home hasn't sustained any damage. Tomorrow I begin my 3rd year of retirement. Having been an teacher for 26 years, it's still difficult not to not think the new year begins tomorrow. Have a super school year, all you teachers out there.

Frustrated!
Frustrated!!!!!! why you ask? I joined Aunt Pitty-Pat's Halloween block swap. (Thanks Aunt Pitty-Pat for organizing this swap.) The RULES" said- please have all blocks in by Aug. 20th. Since I knew when I signed up that I was going on vacation from Aug. 13-20th, I started immediately; my blocks were completed and in the mail the first week of August; and just as I expected, nearly half of the participants have NOT sent in their blocks. I think we had at least 3 months to make 13
blocks. On averaage that would be 1 block a week. I guess I must be "old fashioned". A due date is a due date, be it for bill paying, or handing in a research paper and/or a a report at work. Now that I have this off my chest... I think if you sign up for a swap, no matter what it is, and you do not adhere to the timeline, you should not be invited to be a participant in another swap being held by the same organizer. I now wonder if I will have enough time tocomplete a Halloween quilt.

I'm Back
Where have you been? you ask. Working and vacationing. Even though I've retired from teaching I've been doing a lot of ,and I mean a lot of substitute teaching. For the last 7 weeks I have been teaching 1st graders. In March, I spent 3 days in Ft. Lauderadale with a dear friend. This year for Spring Break I headed back to Barbados. The first week I spent with my son, and the second week was spent with my daughter. Of the 2 weeks, 3 days were spent with both adult kids. Needless to say I had a FANTASTIC time. This is my son, Steve, heading out into the world famous surf spot, known as the Soup Bowl, in Barbados.My daughter, Erica, and I went to an orchid garden. Breath takingly beautiful. In May, my daughter and I flew up to Buffalo, N.Y. to attend my neice's bridal shower. Back to Buffalo the first week in July for the wedding.
