A day off

 Not much to show for it though. I did pull and cut fabrics for 4 blue chicken blocks.... but they are not sewn yet.

We did a late lunch out at Pig and Cattle with Grandma yesterday. Lots of chatting before the kids and I head north this weekend for a few weeks. The car got a drive through the car wash and wipe down inside and vacuum so it is clean for the trip. The navigation system also got updated... so now I will be on a road instead of it thinking I was driving through a field on the new roads near us! I got all the yarn untangled and placed into a new container. A phone call with my Mom and Dad - and reminding them they have a ceiling fan in the living room they should probably dust off and turn on since it was getting hot in the house. It was hotter in VT yesterday than in FL!

I got some stitches added to the sashing in the cat and mouse quilt. I need to actually pack my go to bag today with my hand work projects I am taking with me and their patterns. Emily has horses today at noon. I need to run a few errands and will head over and check in on my FIL in rehab to see how he is doing. I hope to get my chicken blocks completed, and the AT block fabrics picked out and cut today.  We will see how I do!

with the high heat I doubt your parents will forget to turn on the fan they are probably sitting under it to stay cool :) I think there will be a run on the stores to buy up every fan there is - I know a lot of people in the far northern part of the country still do not have A/C I think our ceiling fans stay on in ever room from May to October it helps so much

I hope it cools off in Vermont before you get there! It's always a busy time getting ready for a trip. Do you have fun places planned to stop along the way? Love seeing your progress on the cats!

Good luck with your long journey to VT:))) It is really hot here in CT--but at my house I do have breezes off the ocean to keep us a bit cooler than inland...
Have a safe trip--hugs, Julierose
P.S. Love how the kitties look--lovely quilting, Deb.;))

QUILTING IS BLISSFUL, DI said...

Oh Dear Sunday is coming on fast--but sounds like you have nice list and plan--I pray for a safe traveling and adventuring for all of you--take time and really enjoy each moment--even in the heat--and don't forget to update us now and then while you are gone--
hugs, diane

Have a safe, fun trip! Hoping the weather cools down some. ~Jeanne

a good yarn said...

Hopefully things cool off soon. That heat can be very unpleasant when you are not used to it or have the right equipment to make things comfortable. Your cat quilt is comping along nicely.
