What is it about being on “vacation” that eats up time? This month I had no jobs so I thought of all the millions of things that I would get done. Yeah, right.

I did go to Virginia and visit with my friends there. If laughter is good for you then none of us will be sick for a long time! It is so wonderful to get together with friends. The kind of friends that even though you haven’t seen in ages when you do get together it is like you were never apart. You finish each others thoughts and laughter just comes so easily. You can talk about many subjects and even when there isn’t the same opinion there are intelligent thoughts and not screaming at each other. I love that. Everyone has an opinion and we all listen to it. Wow what a concept.

When I got back I had work that needed to be done. The Long Beach quilt add on instructions are on the way and John is getting the rest of the add on fabrics out as well. I have mailing to do tomorrow which means I did get the work done today. Also went to the dentist for my cleaning. Yet another thing eating away at my vacation time.

I was going to work on the studio/garage during this time off…but let’s talk about the heat! If I go out there and lift that door the rush of flames from outside will make for a miserable time. It should rain on Wed and cool things down to a bearable 90 degrees. It might take me a little longer to get that room right.

So, instead of doing what I thought I was doing I am going to start sewing on the newest pattern coming out in Oct at Quilt Market. This one will have a nice size quilt and a table runner if I can get the time. After all it is my vacation.

Keep your bobbins full!
