We are packing up and getting ready to head west in a few days.  Oh, the joy of it all!

Harley Chick brought me a present (she made it herself–I am so impressed with someone who can sew zippers).

This will be in my carry-on bag, of course.  I love it.  So pretty!

Finish #12, as of this morning.  The binding is on, as is the label.   The hand-stitching will have to wait until the fall, when I am on the couch watching Nebraska football.  I thought it was pretty fifteen years ago, but now I don’t.

Almost finished #13.  I’m not sure this will be completed in the next four days, but sitting at the machine keeps me from pacing, which is always a good thing.  I call it “Piano Keys”.

And finally…

Banjo Man is putting in long days in the office.  There are evenings when he can’t stay awake long enough to watch tv with me.

We have emptied our upright freezer (it’s on its deathbed) and have nothing left to eat but scallops, brussels sprouts, bacon and French fries.

I’m not sure how this is going to work, but we are definitely going out to dinner tomorrow night.
