Catching Up

The company picnic was on Saturday. All day the weather looked like it could just pour, but held off and we had a wonderful day. The food this year was exceptionally good, and the kids and grandkids really enjoyed the bumper boats and go-carts. And,no, we didn't win a door prize this year. Spent quite a long time with Rod's boss, Dave and his wife talking Disney and quilting. Debbie is a new quilter and has only done hand piecing, so she was pretty impressed with my appliqued Disney blocks. We're meeting them at the Hershey quilt show on Saturday. It's their very first quilt show, and I think they will be very impressed.

Mom had her surgery yesterday. We had to be at the hospital by 6:00 am, it's an hour's drive, and whose idea was it to make it so early???? She was first on the schedule, partly because the Dr. had a very complicated surgery following hers, and partly because Mom was so apprehensive and the Dr. didn't want her to have to wait and worry. I didn't get to meet him, but I appreciate his thoughtfulness. She was out of surgery by 8:15, and although she was sore, she was already talking and eating popsicles when we left at 10:30. She will come home to her assisted living home today.

Yesteday Rod and I had manwiches for dinner. Boy do I love those!!! Silly, huh. Have to see if the kids are coming for dinner tonight, and then decide what to make. Supposed to be really warm today. Seems that summer has finally arrived. Quilt on, my friends.

I'm glad your mom did well...I'd been praying for her since you told us the surgery date. Glad the company picnic was such fun and I'm sure you'll enjoy the upcoming quilt show, too.
