Hi,
It is Sunday am here in San Diego, Actually about 8:10 , and cold outside. Well cold in San Diego is about 50 degrees. Thanksgiving is past and now we are waiting for the Santa Claus to arrive.

I guess I knew it would be gone fast, but there is always room for hope.
Have you called all your family members who did not come to your gathering for one reason or another?
Next week end I am leaving for 3 days to go to a quilt gathering. It will be nice to see old friends and be able to sit and quilt for 3 wonderful uninterrupted days.
Well it is almost time to leave for Sunday mass. I have to go take a shower and get ready to hit the road.

Happy Thanksgiving Day

Happy Thanksgiving day to everyone out there.
In San Diego, California it is 7:01 in the morning. I am getting ready to call my aunt back in alabama and say hello.
For my own plans, I am going to head toward Los Angelos and spend the day with my great friend Diana and her family, They usually come this way but Diana's house in being remoldled. I am driving because we are taking her dogs and They like to run around in the back of the 4 runner.
I have already packed extra tea to take with me so I can make my own kind of cup of tea this afternoon.
Well I really have to get moving..... do not eat too much today and have a great family time.

4 days till Thanksgiving day.

Today is Monday. Only 4 days left until Thanksgiving day. Everyone is gong crazy as usual. The holidays bring out everyones strangest feelings. No one wants to be left out. All the long lost friends you never wanted to see again show up, wanting to spend the holidays with you, ya......So sorry that they have no where to go, but I just cannot take care of them. You may think this is a bad attitude, but It seems like the truth.
I spent almost all day Sunday running around getting ready for the BIG Day. Then I got home and old friends, I use that word loosely, called and wanted to come stay here for the Holiday.. No way.
I guess I am one of the million Americans that could pass on Thursday and it would never faze me. thankfully I am going to go with my good friend Diana to friends house on Thursday.

Now about quilting. I wanted to get into the quilting room yesterday, but never even saw the light of the doors. Today is Monday morning I really have to get going. So I guess I'll be off to the shower.
Have a great day. do not let your Friends bug you to much.

Good morning from San Diego, ca.
I actually live in what San Diegoans call East county. It is more open than living in the City and
certainly more lay back. I drive into the city about 20 miles about once a week to visit and maybe take care of things.
I used to live in the city, there was too much action. Life out east is slower. I like slower.
As you may know I have been taking a computer class at Cuyamaca Junior college. The end of the semester is drawing close and I have been very busy trying to get everything finished. Things that seem important one week, or that made you upset one week fade into the past as time goes by. Therefore I try not to get too very upset about something, because I know in a week it will not be important.
I have not had a second to finish binding all those quilts that are suppost to be gifts on Christmas day, they are quilted, the binding is on, now only to sew down the binding.
Well I promised myself that I would be on the road to school by 9:00 am and here is it almost that time and I am still sitting here at the computer.

Have a great quilt day.

Good morning all Quilters.
Yesterday was my Stash busting day. So I have to send this report to Judy Laquidare at Patchwork times. She will be so proud of me. I got 5 ( Five) quilt tops back from the quilter, all done with my stash, well I did purchase one flannel green backing. I also got all the bindings sewn on, and started hand sewing one down. What progress. Guess how I did it.
I rented 3 Videos, when I came home from church. That was my afternoon. Plus I cooked dinner on the barbeque, stake and veges. That was great. I also did some work on cleaning up the quilting room. What a day of progress. Oh, yes, I also was drinking coffee.
I met Judy last Year at Road to California, she is as nice in person as you would think. I just wish I had as must energy as she seems to have.

Today I have to get back to life and go to work. Work does always get in the way of quilting. But, the bills do seem to come around every 30 days so that is that!

I do have one picture I'll post for all of you to see. I live east of San Diego in Spring Valley, Ca. It was raining yesterday and the cats were insidie. The favorite bed is the one looking out the window. It really is taco's bed.
She is called taco because the very first thing she does when she goes outside is rolls herself around on the ground. Like a rolled taco....So I call her taco cat.
Yesterday Cosmo the big black male cat wanted to be in her bed also, so they both got in the window bed and stayed there for a few hours watching the wind and rain.
Well that is all my progress for now.

Have a great Monday
Nancy

The Day After Nov 5, 08

Hello,
I have not been around for some time. As you know I have been attending Cuyamaca JR. College.
Having to be at school 3 days a week and them spending time studying at home has taken its tole....
not to mention time I could of been doing my most favorite thing... quilting.
I did get 4 quilts back from the quilter, I need to take a few minutes to get them up for everyone to see.
I also turned in 3 others to get quilted.
Well the big news: We now have a new United States President. The First Black man will now be faced with setting history. Every eye in the World will be watching him for the next 4 years.
Good Luck to Mr. elect.
Prop 8 is going strongly to Yes................meaning that marriage is between a Man and a Woman.....
no matter what side you are on that was a very hard fought prop.
I have to get ready to go to work. I'll try to check in more often.
Have a great day.
