Fall must be here.

We've had two cool days, mid 60s, plus rain. What a relief. The long hot summer was too hot. Glad to get out the long pants and socks this morning to wear to work. Am volunteering at a clearing house that coordinates charities in our area. People learn to get out of the poverty cycle through budgeting classes, clothing, furniture, car repair, medical and dental help, gardening, preserving, cooking, mentoring... Children can earn restored bikes by doing their homework, attending tutoring and mentoring sessions.

Still working on the Night Sky quilt. Love the deep blue, teal and purple shades used for the backgrounds. Has anyone seen Jinny Beyer's quilt in the newest McCall's quilting mag? Have to try that....after making the other three for classes. It can be a new year's project; have until mid December to finish the others.

DGD Brooke is a college student here. Love having her nearby; she spends Sundays with us. This weekend we are driving north to her parents, about 5 hours. Lovely drive, through the mountains and along the river. Quick trip tho, Fri - Sun evening.

Guests coming tonight. Love having the house ready for that and cannot understand why it won't stay that way. Only two of us here; must be the cat who messes things up.

Blessings,
MJ
