Much to Do
For a Wednesday there has been quite the list for me to take care of here on Stauffer Avenue. By most it would be no more than what could be accomplished by nine on any given day. But you all know, I am not “most.”
I took the time to read through all of the mail from our county’s auditor/treasure for this year’s taxes as well as next year’s value proposal. Lots of pieces of paper, most of which is going into the recycling bin. I came away with three pieces of paper large enough to fit handsomely into a legal sized envelope plus our personal check to cover the total of the 2026 payable property taxes. The envelope was then sealed with a stamp and now is in the post office’s care.
Dennis visited in the studio this forenoon to check on the progress of Nicholas’s college quilt. He had not seen any of the process since it had been folded pieces of fabric I had brought up to the living room to share with him. It is now lacking one more border and then the extra long twin sized quilt top will be ready. I ordered the licensed cotton yardage for the last border, the backing and binding, specific to the college’s motifs. That fabric arrived from Ohio last week.
This afternoon, via Amazon, the mid-loft “Dream” brand of batting should be here by Friday. It’s an 80/20 of polyester and cotton that will give good wear and tear. I have used that brand of batting often.
Dennis has his six month medical checkup at our clinic this afternoon. Dang if he isn’t going with a rather huge nasty looking bump on his forehead and a large band aid on the top of his right hand. Now the story goes that he ran into the door frame going from the garage into the patio porch on Monday. The hand was scrapped today in the garage. God willing and the creek don’t rise, they will let him return home later this afternoon.
I think that’s enough for this day of reporting.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
