Computer has been down 06-28-22

The problem isn't with my laptop, but with the AT&T connection.  Paid a visit to the Geek Squad today and Sean showed me a couple "go arounds", but I have been bounced twice.  Maybe it is time to try another carrier - Spectrum is about the only other possibility.  Sigh.  For the moment I am on line, but can't think of anything to say here.  It has been very hot, over 90F every day, and we are walking when it drops to 79F  usually after dark.  8:30pm tonight.  We live in an area that doesn't get much through traffic and there are lots of street lights and people leave their porch and yard lights on quite late or all night.  I always carry my cane and keep my eyes open for coyotes, other people walking dogs, and any strange cars.  It is very pleasant to walk just as the sun is going down, lovely skies with silhouettes of the trees.  

I have talked about Monthly Minis at Surfside Quilters Guild.  At each meeting tickets are sold for a drawing featuring something donated by a member.  Could be a small quilt, handbag, tote, placemats, aprons.... whatever anyone has donated.  For our June meeting I donated a little quilt that I made as a sample for a pattern I designed in 1994.  At that time I was thinking I might develop a line of patterns, but eventually decided that the logistics were more than I wanted to handle.  So this little Uncle Sam has been in a drawer all these years.  I recently came across it and thought it would be a good time to donate it for a Monthly Mini.  

The figure on the right was another design about the same time. 

Pam Hadfield, the lady in the center, had the winning ticket.  I am on the left, not realizing how silly I would look with my mask pulled down off my face.  On the right is Pattie Sexton representing the MoMini committee.  The income on this was about $280.  The tickets are a dollar or six for five dollars.
