Father's Day in Texas

Oh my! What a lot has happened since I last posted. On Thursday night, about 11:00, the AC quit working. It clanked and buzzed, so I shut it down and took a look in the interior part in the closet. There was frost all over the works, so I left it  off and went to bed. In the morning, it was already 80 degrees in the house, so I commenced calling AC repairmen. Fortunately, I found a place that could come right away. The guy was wonderful, and found the problem, a burned out motor. He ordered a new one and will come tomorrow with it to do the repair. Meanwhile, I have been staying at Nancy's and staying cool. Penny and I in a twin bed is a bit of a squeeze, but we're okay. Daytime temps in the high 90s.

There will be steak on the grill, some fresh asparagus and baked potatoes for Father's Day dinner. I hope I don't blow up the grill!!

I had Kizzy for the day while her owner was in the hospital having his knee replaced. His wife has traveled to and fro to visit him and try to get him home, but he has had pain complications and stayed three days! He is now at a rehab for his therapy. Kizzy and I bonded in the three days she was home alone, and she is such a laid back sweet dog, I didn't mind at all.

Kizzy made herself at home and ate Penny's breakfast and drank her water!

Penny gets the lion's share of a twin bed. Good thing I sleep on my side!

All snuggly this morning.

Meanwhile...Nancy and I have been sewing and chatting and having a good time. She made this table runner and I did the machine quilting on her Bernina as well as the binding. She thinks she'll keep it...it was going to be a gift for her granddaughter, whose birthday is the Fourth of July. Oops!

I finished all the blocks for the blue and white quilt, and when Nancy gets her project down from the design wall, I'll begin arranging.

This was a kit Nancy got from my sister. I love how it turned out!

I was a bit out of practice, but I was comfortable by the end!

I did stars and loops, then stitched around all the motifs and in the ditches.

The backing and binding are the same fabric.

Penny is always ready for her ride. After her run at the dog park, the long tongue comes out!

After her run, she 'helps' me water the flowers.

Funny picture of the week was taken on an outing to Freddy's Frozen Custard. 

I thought the custard machine looked like a face with the tongue out! Just like my Penny.
