It was a really great week. With a very light schedule, I had 4 1/2 days to just be at home. My kind of heaven! I got the handy guy over to put up my too-cool lamp.I like it lots, but I'm still trying out bulbs to find one that works but is not too un-funky. The vintage one that came with it and is in the photo, puts out almost no light. So now I have a modern but clear bulb. It looks O.K., but there is a good deal of glare. Not sure what to try next.
And there was so much time that I read a book by my favorite author and finished a puzzle.I spent lots of time in Quilt World and finished the top of this one that I started at a workshop in August. This one was to learn curves and paper piecing. LOTS of curves! Now it is time to get it off to the quilter.And then I got a wire-haired notion to make quilts for the boys who will live in Grandma's house. Decided to try piecing letters to make their names and then do something around them, making it up as I go. This is how far I to on Saturday afternoon when I quit to finish cooking and go get Grandma for dinner.
And while we were eating the first call came in saying that Les Anderson had just been taken to the hospital with a heart attack. 20 minutes later a 2nd call reported that he had died.His death leaves a huge hole in the world for countless numbers of people, me included. I'm not liking this stage of life when my peers can die and it is not altogether out of the norm. I remember when Grandma's friend, Marge, died. But of course she would, she was old. She was 60!! Perspectives certainly change.
