Warnings about electrical use

On the news, the reporter said there will be problems with the power grid here in Texas again. This time, it will be due to the excessively high temperatures, and last time it was the bitter cold! We have been told to really conserve from 4pm until 5pm when usage is at it's peak. I am usually cooking then, so I'm okay. I cook with gas. Honestly, if the power goes out and we don't have the AC I'll be very very unhappy.

I made another 16 blocks for my blue and white quilt yesterday, and I have another 16 in the works. When I finish those, I will be ready to square up all the blocks and start assembling the quilt top. Yippee! I am anxious to start another quilt, so I have incentive to finish the blue one.

Components ready to be sewn

Pile of finished blocks and the next ones to be assembled.

I finished another binding for Nancy. I think she has one more in the works.

Just a cute video of my 5 year old grandson learning to swim. I love the thumbs up gesture while paddling to stay afloat!

 It's a beautiful morning here in Texas, but it is already sticky and hot. Penny and her friend Kizzy did their morning run and frolic, and Penny's tongue is hanging to her knees! She will chase a ball, but won't bring it back.Who is fetching? I think it's me!

I was a complete slug yesterday. I took Penny for her twice daily frolics, tended to Dad and made a nice supper. Otherwise, I watched old episodes of Midsommer Murders while working puzzles in my puzzle book. I should have thrown in some sewing or cleaning...nah, it was Sunday. French toast breakfast was the only extra.

Today, we are off to the bank and Sams Club, then I will be sewing at Nancy's. It is time too get back at it and get something done.

                                                 

Every time I put my feet up (this time, I was hand sewing) Penny comes for what we call Footsies. She sounds vicious, but is only growling and barking for effect. No feet were harmed in the making of this video!

I finished the hand sewing on another of Nancy's quilts. A perfect job while watching murder in the small Midsommer villages!

I caught my Dad walking back to his house with a long extension cord. He was trying to reach the neighbor's house with the weed whacker. No dice. I will get the caretaker here to do it today.

Penny is wiped out after her run. She always either sits or lays pin my foot. Silly dog.
