It's off to quilt guild today.  Before that I plan to run some errands.  After guild it'll be knit group.  Went to WW yesterday.  I'm still at -17 lbs.  Hope to get to 20 before I leave on my trip.  I'm determined to get down to 140 by the time I get back by walking a minimum of 1 mile a day while on board ship.  Also while on board I'll start planning for next year.  That may sound early but it really isn't.
Looks like it wants to rain today.  It's already 57 outside.  Geesh, can't make up its mind.  Hot or cold?  I'd rather cold with the sun out, thank you.  I need sunshine!!  (and just as I wrote this it started to rain.)
Hopefully daughter will be coming up tomorrow.  Always nice to see her and the kiddies.  And she'll be able to get on the 'net while here since she doesn't have it at her house.
Have some things to do and errands to run before guild so I'll bid you a good day and y'all remember:  Life is just one damned thing after another....Elber Hubbard

Today is the reception at the botanical garden in Athens to kick off our quilt exhibit.  All the quilts have something to do with nature.  Mostly flowers but some also have birds.  I've made some meringues instead of cookies.  I'm sure there will be enough of those (cookies, I mean).  While it's going on I may just get to see some of the indoor garden.  I can't see me standing around for 2 hours.  There'll be enough of the guild members there to answer questions.  So....I guess I'd better get a move on and get some things done around here before leaving for there.

Y'all have a quiet day and consider:  afterism (n) - a concise, clever statement you don't think of until too late.....John Alexander Thom

I see blue sky!  Wonder how long that will last?  Had some fierce wind last night and omg I see snow flakes!  It's really cold out there so the flakes are small, but I see 'em.  Snow?  Geesh.  Don't think we'll get enough to cover the ground.
Going in to the gallery.  Working on the challenge square for the cruise.  I need some inspiration on what to do with the outline of Panama.  I don't want to make it gaudy but at least noticeable.  I'll think of something. 
It's gonna be a good day today so.........remember the good times.

Rain, thunder, lightning....when will this crummy weather end?  It is an ugly day and just because I wanted to sleep in Cleo decided that I wouldn't.  I did get in an extra 30 minutes just because I refused to get up when she wanted me to.
Daughter may or may not come up today.  I enjoy her company but I miss US.  We used to be able to do so much together but not now.  Maybe when the baby is older she can get a free day now and then.  I look forward to that time.
Because of the weather I know I'll have to go down to the pond when it clears to work on clearing the pipe. 
I'm going to sign off.....lightning.

Our quilt guild has been invited to have an exhibit at the Athens Botanical Garden and some of us will be headed that way today to hang the 40 or so quilts for it.  I've never been to the Garden so it will be an experience.  We'll be having a reception on the 15th so if anyone reading this is local, come on by.  I will have a small piece on exhibit but it won't be for sale since I messed up the label on the back.  Besides, I think it will look good hanging in my house. 
Outside looks like one of those scary movie sets.  There's a ground fog and bare trees.  All it needs is sound effects.
I'll be a happy camper if the sun shines today.  It's been gray too long.
Guess I'll get a move on.  Have to meet the group in an hour.  Y'all have a bright day and remember:  don't let your cat think outside the box.

A downpour, absolute deluge, woke me up too early.  I was able to go back to snooze.  Then Cleo decided it was time for me to GET UP.  It's a gray ucky day.
WW day and then it's off to try to collect some prizes I won in the Hometown Neighbor magazine thing.  Amazingly I only signed up at two of the sponsors.  Wow....and I never win.  At any rate we'll see what there is.
Cleo is telling me it's time to play.  I guess I'll do that for a little while before showering and getting myself gathered for the rest of the day.
Y'all have a sunny type day and remember:  If idiots grew on trees, Congress would be a forest.

Yay!  I finished my knitted wrap yesterday.  Now all I have to do is tuck in the ends and block it.  It was a struggle but I was determined to get it done.  Guess I'll go ahead and block it today then work on some other things that need finishing.  I have sewing to do for sure and a few errands to run.
Looks like it may be a blah kind of day.  Perfect for doing indoor stuff.  Y'all have a GOOD day and remember:  make like a Timex....if you take a lickin' keep on tickin'.
