Life After House Guests

CCCQ # 31

The last of the house guests left early this morning when I took our daughter, son-in-law and the miracle grandson to the airport for an early morning flight back to New Brunswick. I  may not see them now until January when the newest grandbaby is due. But who knows, I may fly out to visit them later this fall. Maybe. I am planning a trip to Poland in December for my aunt's 90th birthday and  in November I am going to the Just Takes 2 quilt retreat in Shipshewana in  Indiana. And I will be leading another woman's small group Bible study for church this fall. Also, yesterday I set the date and am drawing up the plans for a new beginner's quilt group at the Farm twice a month staring in October.

I was looking at the 2015 goals list to see how I am doing so far. I have not been able to focus on school work and writing the two extra chapters for my book. That means the release date may not be before Christmas  now. We shall see. I have done very little applique lately since I had the little girl grandchildren here overnight often instead of babysitting at their house. So, since I will be babysitting at their house tomorrow, I think I can plan for at least 4 hours of me time to get going on the final CCCQ blocks.

I have a GORF retreat booked here in two weeks. I still have not completed mine. So much for the "real fast". I can work on it while the new girls are making theirs as I demonstrate how to do the raw edged applique.

Full of Optimism Blessings,
Chris
