Lazy Saturday morning

Jill asked for some book recommendations. I belong to a women’s group, PEO, and every May we all do book reviews then one of the members puts together a Summer Reading list. Some that have been recommended and that I have read include: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie society, Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, Out Stealing Horses - Per Petterson, Sarah's Key - Tatiana deRosnay, The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield, The Book of Air and Shadows, Michael Gruber, A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving (an older book). A few others that I have not read yet, but that have been recommended – Three Cups of Tea, Greg Mortenson, Annie Freeman’s Fabulous Traveling Funeral by Kris Radish, Penny in Love by Lisa See. Do you want more?

School starts on Tuesday and DD will be a senior—that doesn’t seem possible. She left early this morning to go somewhere with her boyfriend and his family—he started college a few weeks ago so she doesn’t see him as often. DH left early for Vegas for a wedding. We were both going, then cancelled, then he decided last minute that he should go. So, I have a whole day in front of me to just play. Yesterday I worked on some banners for church. Nothing fancy because they are just decorations for a breakfast we are having in a couple weeks, but they don’t look too bad. I ran out of heat and bond so will get back to that project as soon as I pick up a little bit more.

Guild also starts next week. In Oct. we are supposed to bring in a UFO that is at least a year old and then sign a pledge to finish it by May. That might be just the kick-start I need to get some of the oldies (but goodies?) finished. We also have a quilt show in March so I know there are a few things I want to have done by then—one being the quilt with the blocks a lot of you made for me two years ago. I have the fabric for the sashing and it is at the top of the priority pile. Well, off to enjoy the day. Hope you all have a great day and long-week end as well. Joleen in MN
