Sunday Smiles-Week Day Miles: I came home from church to find Toby in one of his favorite napping spots. It never fails to give me a smile. What has made you smile today?

As the calendar shows, the coming week will be busy. Fun stuff, but not much napping time.

The third red, white and blue quilt top is finished. There are still 2 throw pillows and 3 backings to do and this FOREVER project will be ready to go to the quilter. With occasional warmish days -- like today -- and the Garden Show starting up next week, I have the feeling that my quilting season is coming to a close. Soon it will be gardening that commands my time -- at least my daytime. Then, as I recall, the evenings will be spent recovering!

This afternoon I'm going over to Mom's to clean out some of her flower beds. After I walk the neighbor's dog and scoop her litter boxes. I'd like to live next door to a neighbor like me.

Hope you all are happy week-ending.

E-mail Notice

I had bad addresses for T. and Carrie, but the rest of you should have received an e-mail notice of the last posting. You'll have to let me know how it came through on your e-maill. I got the text in regular old Cox-ugly font. To get the lovely lay-out and the photo, I had to click on "Quilting Gardener" at the very bottom.

Not, of course, that I think this is really the most important thing you have to focus on for the day-week-etc. Ignoring any or all of this won't hurt my feelings at all.

Techno-expectatioins & Plumbing

Just when I was so very proud of my techno-accomplishments, Carrie wanted to know if she would receive an e-mail notice when there was a new post on my lovely new blog. My dears, your techno-expectations do make me expand my horizons.

So...I have explored and researched, and I think that you have each received an e-mail telling you that this post has been published. If you did and don't want to be bothered, I can take you off of the notification list -- I think.

Once more I had to get up early and put myself together in anticipation of the plumber's visit. As you can see by the photo, he was hard at work. I am assured that the problem is fixed now. We'll see.

Happy birthday to Logan. If I were to get really clever, I bet I could figure out how to attach an audio file. Yet another way to wish happy birthday melodiously. Don't vote on whether or not I should pursue that.

Update

Grandma has her new TV. She's REALLY enjoying it. With March Madness coming up, she should be in true ecstacy. Thus far, she's using it without difficulty, although the orientation process was not without it's traumas.

On my front, I've been having plumbing issues -- and without haveing a house full of guests. The downstairs facility clogged up. The plumber came and unclogged it. But not...... So, they're coming back tomorrow to try it again.

Off to the car dealership this morning for some re-call work. Last week I got a letter about some potential problem. I'm thinking that the Toyota issues have all of the car companies on their toes right now.

It is Day 1 of my new Blog. Another step forward into the techno world? Just self-indulgence? Maybe some of each. So, here you have a photo of Toby and Carmen who are the most constant companions to my life. And you will also want to see my latest semi-completed quilt. And finally, a part of the garden that I'm eagerly waiting to get into when the weather gets warm. Me, in a nutshell.
