Saturday...

 We lost internet around 1PM yesterday. Seems it was part of an outage in NC,TN,GA,FL, etc for 23 hours. Thank goodness hubby and I grew up without internet and can cope, but it does make you think of how dependent upon it we are. A little unnerving to think 'someone' could just turn that off and how would we get any news of what is happening in the world? 

That led me to miss my last hour of work. The kids were not happy when they got home... and since the phone signal is horrible at my house (we use the wifi) we were kinda stuck. Since we could not order food for takeout.... we headed to Red Robin for dinner. It was a nice family dinner... and one week before I have my oldest turning 18! I got the mushroom burger and garlic parmesan steak fries. Very yummy. Good family conversation which we have not had in a while with the kids crazy schedules. It doesn't allow for family dinners much. I still have a DVD/VCR player and pulled out the movies The Pacifier and The Great Outdoors to watch last night. 

I was listening to a downloaded audio book while doing some cross stitch yesterday afternoon.

Then I stitched up the prepped bear paws for Aidan's graduation quilt. I really need to get back to that one! This is 3 sets of 4 paws in green.

Today I measured the blue UFO quilt and it measured 67 or 68 x 81. I figured I need about 300 inches of binding so cut 8 strips to make the binding which matches the outer border. I pulled a 3 yard cut of light blue from MSQC sale a couple of months ago and need to press it and get it pinned for quilting. 

I downloaded a few free books from audible.... just so I have something to listen to! My Libby app was not cooperating to give me titles, so the internet is still a little wonky. Emily is complaining she can't do her homework. I think I'll listen to my new book and add some floss to the cross stitch this afternoon. Maybe make some zucchini bread. I made blueberry muffins this morning and a no recipe homemade potato and ham potato casserole for lunch. Its 53 in Ocala... the high for the day before it dips into the 20's tonight.

Stay warm, wherever you are!
