Thursday perspective

 I normally keep my thoughts positive and 'non political'. However, what is happening right now in this country is atrocious and I honestly can't believe it is happening right here, in 2026! It feels like 1930's Germany, and I've read enough history to SEE what is repeating. Not sure exactly what I can do but if I see injustice, I will point it out in person. I have an event in Orlando with the school this weekend and I am hoping that we do not see the ICE treatment that is happening in the northern states. 

Back to happier things. Aidan and the Academic Team got knocked out of the regional tournament on the first round yesterday. They had a long lunch and then were back at school for the end of the day. He did want to try Tennis again, so I scheduled a Dr appt for clearance to go back today. 

The perspective part - progress on cross stitch. I figured I'd show the pattern and where I am on it. I did start in the middle as they recommend. Doing that quilt border was a nice easy start into the project. I had to search through floss to find the bottom color outlined by green in the quilt at the bottom, and the color I started on in the quilt area. Lets just say, it took a while to find those 2 flosses! I kinda hate that page divide area, so decided to start working on that for the wagon as well. Now to find the rectangular hoop for it and see how that works, since the circle one is just too small for my liking on this project.

We visited my FIL and he is doing fine. Hubby is walking Bear. At the dr's with Aidan and then walking in Sams, I kept popping a tendon? in my right foot behind the heel. Silly me, kept doing it and now I know it's there. I've got the foot support on it and sneakers on in the house. Will try to keep off it today and see if that helps.

Time to go visit the machine and see about building some houses. I wrote down the info for Bonnie Hunters Happy Scrappy House Block on her free patterns page. Off to go pull fabrics from the overflowing scrap bins and see what I can build!
