The others had seared Ahi tuna on harvest grains and veggies. Some kind of crispy curls on the top.

Friday Feet, again. 05-14-21
For several years I took pictures of people's feet and posted them on Friday's blog. It was fun and interesting - to me anyway. But I don't go anywhere these days so no new feet images. Here are a couple from the distant past. Nice juxtaposition, I think.

Books 05-11-21
It is so hard for me to give up books. They are stacked on shelves and in the corners of almost every room in the house, except the bathrooms. Those are reserved for magazines! I have been saying for over a year that I will take some to the secondhand bookshop, but I just haven't done it. Over the last few weeks I have put books in small boxes that I can actually lift and carry, and putting them in the car. Today I had other errands and just drove to the Bookman (not far from Angel Stadium). The very nice guys came out to the car and hauled the boxes in - they can carry two at a time, I can just manage one. There are only 8 to 10 books in a box, but I still don't have the strength to do much carrying. They sort through the books and put aside those they don't want and then tally up what the "keepers" are worth, adding that to my account. I looked for a few books for the boys in the cul de sac. I have no idea if they read them, but I like to give books for birthdays. Maybe if the books are around the house the boys might get interested in reading them. I also give them cash - $1 per year. They turn twelve and six this month so I need 18 crisp one dollar bills to include as "bookmarks".
I am so proud of myself for getting those books out of the house. Now to start filling more boxes and then take another drive to the Bookman. Hurrah for me!

Quilt from the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection 05-08-21
For quite a few years I posted a quilt from the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection every Sunday. Don't know how I got away from that and I think I will start doing it again. So, here is the first of many. There are now about 380 quilts in the Collection from postcard size to a few that fill a wall. I do have my favorite artists, there are 34 Ruth B. McDowell quilts!
