A Saturday the 14th
This was a look-forward-to appointment today. It was time for haircuts and pedicure. Marie allocates Dennis and me two hours every four weeks. The best time spent ever. We both come away feeling renewed. Coming home we had a light snack as a lunch.
As for the studio today . . . it remains dark. I have thought through plans for Sadie’s thirty-six tee-shirt menagerie. I will use eighteen shirts sewn together color to color. No sashing in between the twelve inch blocks. Eighteen on the front and eighteen on the back. I will use a lightweight batting. It may end up fifty by sixty, as she said she didn’t want a full sized quilt, but a throw. I am not up to doing two individual projects with the batting, the backings and the binding.
This afternoon, Denise just picked up her dad. Denise, Tom and Dennis are traveling to the community center in Eagle River, right north of Mankato. Sadie is having a bash for her retirement of 25 years in the military as well as her 40th birthday. Sadie entered the Minnesota National Guards in between her junior and senior years of high-school. Good grief, she looked and acted young. There will be people fifteen feet deep from military to friends and family. The event is slated to begin at six.
To my awareness of self, I do not do well in huge crowds with a lot of noise and commotion. I don’t feel or stay centered. Dennis knew immediately, that I would be staying home. I will be here welcoming him with open arms. I was very thankful that Dennis had acquiesced to ride with Denise rather than he and his little red pickup heading out on their own.
I am on stitching and watching traffic duty this afternoon.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
