I have not been posting because my life is so dull there isn't much to post about! I previously mentioned backing into my garage door which requires a complete replacement. That was a week ago and I am still waiting for the installation. With all the auto thefts and break ins I hate leaving my car parked in the driveway, but there is no guarantee that if I close it in the garage I can open the door to get it out! On Monday I had to have a handyman replace my garbage disposal which was leaking water under the sink. The joys of homeownership!
Tuesday was the Surfside Quilters Guild meeting where the Challenge quilts were revealed. It was a good year with 40 entries with the theme of "How Sweet It Is", all very original and interesting. There is always a viewers choice and the winner was Michelle Howe's "Candyland". Her work is very good and she researched Candyland, finally finding a1950s version of the game on Etsy. It was her favorite game as a child and she added a few personal favorite treats. The Viewers Choice prize is always $100.

| "Childhood Memories" Michelle Howe 21" X 21.5" Collage, Machine pieced, Machine quilted, KoKo and I are still walking twice a day which adds up to about 5000 steps. It sounds boring but we pretty much walk the same loop each time. KoKo finds new smells and new potty spots, I look at the flowers, birds, house renovations, and greet neighbors along the way. It is a very quiet neighborhood and sometimes we don't see anyone else. But usually in the morning there are dog walkers and people leaving for work. We have had typical August weather with a few monsoon sprinkles and not too hot. Supposed to be mid 90s this coming week. # # # |
