I started the light pink block on Wednesday. These middles will have a round over it, I have not decided the colors. Might be all yellow or each blocks color. I'll decide when they are all done.
I had a girl pick up at school, so I grabbed the bag. I added a grey round to a granny square. I have had finishing ideas running through my head on these. We will see what happens!
A visit to my FIL today after a dog walk. I'm sure he will need a grocery shop. He is still very weak, so we will see. I've been calling him each morning, since greg won't, and his meal delivery was not starting until today.
I do hope to play with red more. I've got alternate blocks to make and a table scrap challenge. I had an idea for it, then mentioned the prompt of red and rain to Emily last night. She had an interesting idea. We will see which wins!
I had bought a ham last week ($1.98 a pound) but since we went out Sunday I cooked part of it on Monday night with the Boars Head brown sugar sauce on it. I got a 5 pounder and cut it into chunks and cooked about a pound of it and seal a mealed chunks for the fridge. I did save off the bone part and cut parts to add to salads for a couple of days. I still had that and had pinto beans in a can of dry beans. I looked up recipes for the instapot and made
this one yesterday. Emily had something else, but Aidan was game to try it. His response, a little less salt (I added some at the end and should not have) and some savory herbs next time. I made cornbread to go with it.
I get a whole day Saturday to myself! I plan to get the Arkansas Traveller quilt pinned and quilted this weekend. Emily has test review at school and will drive herself! Aidan has skills usa next week, so will drive to school Monday, hand keys to Emily and return Thursday evening after a competition in Jacksonville. Emily gets to drive herself to school and back! Her comment, darn, I need to get up 5 minutes earlier to eat breakfast. I guess she eats in the car while Aidan drives. It is quite early - they leave for school at 6:55.
Someone is ready for a walk before it gets too hot.

you have another busy day planned. I am off to Paducah to see the show - Have a good day and hope you get quilting on AT
Pretty pink orange peels there for your bead block, Deb! A 5 pound ham would be so perfect for us - I ended up with an 8 pound one, and lots of ham leftover to deal with. Hope your FiL is doing okay. Sounds like the kids have all their activities under control!
