Good Morning!

Fall is here, also. Nights are cool, woke up to 56 inside yesterday. May need to close the windows. In the high 70s or low 80s most days. Am hoping the soil stays warm enough to ripen the canteloupe and watermelon. First time to plant these. Lots of cucumbers on the vine still but the tomatoes are slowing down. Lack of bees kept my 3 squash plants and eggplants from pollinating.

I've tried to post many times and something gets lost in cyberspace. Nice to get on this time, if it works.

We like living near Boise, nearly three years now. Summer was mild which meant better air quality. Winter inversions are a problem, but we are in AZ then. This year may be different. DH's break at C2 has not healed. He is still in a full body brace. Have an appointment at the spinal clinic this week and we're hoping something else can be done. He isn't a good candidate for surgery so perhaps a less confining brace? He's not had a full night's sleep in 5 months plus many more complications that are not fun. Glad he isn't paralyzed and do know it could be worse. DD says this has been a 'life altering incident'. Certainly agree with that.

School is back in session. We're enjoying two grandkids at the local university. Sundays are spent here with any dorm mates they bring. Laundry, laughter, food and fun fill the day. Good for us! Both are education majors; one with a ministry and music minor and the other with a missions minor. We both had careers in education as do all three kids and one daughter in law. One son told his two to think of something else, both had planned to teach. They are in medical fields instead. Education has changed a great deal over the years. As has the world...

Just finished a top using the acrylic drunkard's path templates. Love cutting them with the rotary cutter. They fit together beautifully. Used both the 7" and 3 1/2" circles. Now to get it bordered and quilted. It is in many shades of teal with some tan, red and gold. The cornerstones will be dragons in those shades - an oriental fabric. This has been a full summer's project. Not much time to quilt with nursing duties.

Jane, loved seeing the car and am so glad you are healing. Dot, waiting for another post...how are you? What is happening in your area - do miss living there? Jill, thank you again and again for the other site. Able to keep up some there.
