Friday the 13th! in 2020!

 Now normally I have great Friday the 13th days.... but then again, this is 2020 so who knows what will happen!

The kids are off to school... thinking they are doing an 'A' day again rather than a 'B' day. Emily is looking forward to it since theirs is the only in person Ag class today so they get to do prep work with the animals for the weekend. I have my 5 hour work day today to finish off the week.

Greg is having back pain again and is back to finding those 'good' pills and has called off work for the next few days to rest it. From getting up normally on Monday to doing the roll to get up today is not a good sign. At least he has VA doctor appointments lined up in the next 10 days.

He just came in from checking on the chickens and moving a roost to be in front of the window (the big girls love to look out the window and one decided to try and be there despite there not being enough room last night so we are humoring them!) and look what he found in the nesting boxes he made and attached yesterday to the new coop! The one he found is the brown one... the white is a large from the store for comparison! 



I finished adding the last hexagon last night... and would you believe I managed to turn it one too many? Oh well, it is staying.

From doing the little hand quilting on these guys I realized I really missed it so I pulled out the Book Club little quilt (35x35) and went searching for hand quilting batting. I found this leftover piece rolled up in it's bag... and I think if I piece it together it will be just big enough to work for this quilt.


Hope you all have a great Friday the 13th!

Ugh! Greg really needs to make sure he doesn't over-do. The first egg? Yay!! I'm not sure which the last hexie was... I think that looks SEW darling!!

Sorry to hear Greg is having back pain again. It isn't fun. I hope your Friday the 13th goes well. Our oldest son's birthday is today. He and we always consider his birthday or our anniversary (6-13) falling on a Friday as good luck. We decided early on, we couldn't be superstitious about it 😉 ~Jeanne

I'm thinking more and more that Greg will one day need surgery on his back - which won't be fun but maybe in the end it will be better? Hope he feels better soon. so neat to have found the first egg!

How exciting to find the first egg! Love your little hexagon mat, and so glad you're getting out your Book Club top to quilt, too. Hope Greg finds some relief for his back - that's always so hard to overcome.
