Aquatic turtles

I live in the East county section of San diego. Uusally considered a dry area of the city. So last night when I heard the dogs across the street barking like something big was going on, I looked out my kitchen window and there in the middle of the street was a Turtle wondering down the middle of my street. My neighbor has two pet turtles, nieno and little guy. My first throught was how did one of her turtles get out of the front yard where she keeps them in a cage, and how did it get all the way around the back in the middle of the street.

I ran out the front door calling her and ran down to where the turtle was and picked it up. Funny it did not look like one of her pets. This turtle was red and alot bigger then hers.

Her husband Allen and Marilyn came running and said where did that come from.

They took to to the local pet store and the pet store owner told them it was a Aquatic turtle and it eats gold fish. So now my friend across the street has 3 turtles, and I am recovering from freight.

I am going to go get a picture of this turtle so you all can see it and while I am at it, I'll take a picture of the other ones.

I just never know what I am going to find wondering around on our quiet little street next.

Have a great day and watch for what you may find in the middle of your street.

Today I have an appointment with a new Tax accountant. What fun for my day off. I have to go over everything and make sure that its all right.

I am off work today so I really wanted to stay home and spend the day in the quilt room finished up the quilt. I have pieces on the wall and just need to sew it together. By the time I got up this morning I already had a list 2 pages long off what needed to be done for sure, hoping that there would be a minute or two somewhere of sew. Good Luck!.

My white cat is siting next to me on the desk, helpimg me. He cannot get to far off or he gets worried.

I better start my list. The first thing on the list is to call Dell to get my laptop computer fixed. I really like having it when I go somewhere. I hope it does not cost to very much. See you tomorrow.

Monday quilting before work

Hi,

It monday morning. 6:30 am, I have to go to work today, but wanted to hurry and get up and sew alittle before faceting the world of the quilt shopp. Don't get me wrong, I really like working there. But I need a little inspiration before going in and seeing eveyone great quilts.

Yesterday on sunday before coming into the house to sew, I always sew on Sunday after church, Its part of my religion. Sunday is so quiet and sewing is just better on sunday. Anyway yesterday I went out into the yard and put fertilizer on all the plants. I really need something bigger than a 1 gallon container. My yard is 1/3 arce and the 1 gallon container does not go far.

Hi,

Its 7:00 am and the cats I have know its time for me to get up and open the doors. They have a internal clock that is better than any swiss make clock. The orange one is "Goldmine" he has cost me alot of cash. He had a nose problem and had to have surgery but does fine. The Vet told me when he was young I better go find a goldmine if I wanted to keep this male cat and the vet was right. The other one is called "C Cat". on his back is a white C, the rest of the cat is gray.

I live in San diego in east county and the cats think this is Disney catville.there is lot of open space and plenty of room to play outside.

I finally recovered from my Acute Sinusitis and will be heading back to work today. I really want to stay home and garden and go play in the quilting room, But I did promise to come in today, so off I go, I really enjoy working where I work so its really O.K.

I tryed to work alittle yesterday on the quilt from my brother in law, but life gets in the way somethimes.

If your like me I have a few too many UFO'S. My goal last year was to finish at least 5 of the UFO'S. and cut down on the Quilt stash. I have been doing very well. I go into quilt shops now and think to my self, that's a nice quilt, but I problably have material in my room to do somethink just like that,

there is so much insperation in my room, I just need to go look around. Therefore my material or fabic buying has been greatly reduced.

The other big thing is now that I am back to work my time is more organized. I really do get more done when I work a few days a week.

Today I an going to gather all my old electronic equipment together and haul it to the goodwill. The goodwill recycles what they can to people who could use it and the rest they recycle to be reused. So it a win win deal.

They love to take it, I love to get rid of stuff I am not using and everyone is happy.

Well I am off to the garden to use some super bloom, Then in the afternoon off to the quilt room.

Have a great Sunday.

Friday quilting

Friday I am at home and finally getting over a acute sinusitis, and on antibiotics seems to have done the trick. So here I am in the Quilting room deleloping a new quilt. I have not been able to move my head for 4 days.

My brother in laws birthday is arriving soon and so I really need to finish his birthday quilt. He is a outdoors person and spend last summer in Alaska kayaking. I am building a quilt with Bears and fish and moose.

The water is going in the garden under the orange and lemon trees, it is on a timer so it shuts off in 5 minutes. I think the orange should be ripe soon, and friends have already come by for their share of fresh lemons.

Well this is a small post but I throught I would just log in for a minute. Need to get back to work.
Have a great week end and remember "Quilting before dishes"
